Dr Paula Stockley
IAS Fellow at Grey College, Durham University (April – June 2007)
Dr Stockley is an evolutionary biologist specialising in the study of diversity in animal reproductive traits. She graduated in Zoology at Nottingham (1989) and received a D.Phil. from Oxford (1993). She is currently a Senior Lecturer in Mammalian Behaviour and Evolution at the Faculty of Veterinary Science at the University of Liverpool. In 2002, she held a Visiting Research Scholarship at St John's College, Oxford.
Dr Stockley is best known in the field of sexual selection for her research on female promiscuity and sperm competition. Her work has helped advance understanding of the extreme diversity found between closely related animal species in reproductive traits such as gamete morphology, genital anatomy, copulatory behaviour, parental investment and life history strategies. She is currently working in collaboration with multi-disciplinary research teams, using post-genomic techniques to explore mechanisms and evolutionary consequences of sexual selection. Dr Stockley is an author of approximately 50 scientific publications, including refereed articles (in Current Biology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, U.S.A., The American Naturalist, Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B, and other scientific journals), invited reviews, book chapters and popular science articles.
During her visit to Durham as an IAS fellow, Dr Stockley will be exploring the scientific legacy of Darwin's The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, in the context of modern perceptions of sexual selection. The main focus of her work will be to review growing evidence of reproductive competition between females across diverse animal taxa, and explore the extent to which such evidence complies with traditional theoretical expectations.


Dr Tuppy Owen-Smith was one of the great allround sportsmen of the inter-war years, captaining England at rugby, representing South Africa at cricket as well as being a champion lightweight boxer. He arrived in England in 1929 with the South African cricket side and immediately won plaudits for his batting and fielding, finishing the summer by being named one of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Year. In 1930 Owen-Smith returned to England with a Rhodes Scholarship to study medicine at Oxford, and he won his Blue in both cricket and rugby ( and represented them at athletics and boxing as well) before going on to study medicine at St Mary's. An attacking fullback, he made his debut for England in 1933, making ten appearances in all. In 1937 he captained them in all three home international matches.


"Taboo" with Tom Hardy; I recently watched this BBC series on dvd. It's set during the War of 1812, in London and the surrounding countryside. I am interested in 18th and early 19th century world history and this story, though it has quite a few historical inaccuracies, is pretty interesting.
There are some violent scenes that might bother some people, but I was entertained.
Looks like something I might like, thanks for the heads up.


Very nice lot located in a quiet neighborhood. Build now or use with your RV. Located on a dead-end road in an area of nice homes. Water and power are in the street. Close to the golf course, driving range, tennis and basketball court. Ownership at Lk. Cushman provides access to 3 lakes, parks, and boat launches for property owners use only. Close to Hoodsport for shopping and Olympic National Park for exploring and hiking. Lot #44 next door needs to be purchased along with this lot.

Has your journalism made a difference? Entries for British Journalism Awards close 9am, 14 October
By Press Gazette Twitter
The third annual British Journalism Awards in association with TSB are now open for entries.
Organised by Press Gazette, this is the only major set of UK journalism prizes which are open to all journalists wherever they work and which have a particular emphasis on public interest journalism.
Last year the top prize of Journalist of the Year went to Michael Gillard in recognition of his brave exposure of the gangster David Hunt. Gillard could not attend the Stationers' Hall reception partly because of concerns over his own security.
The 2012 Journalist of the Year was David Walsh (pictured above) in recognition of his 13-year investigation into Lance Armstrong.
The 14 award categories for 2014 also include:
British Journalism Awards 2019: Book your seats for 10 December ceremony in London

There are three new judges joining the 18-strong jury: former BBC Radio 4 The World Tonight presenter Robin Lustig, chairman of the National Council for the Training of Journalists Kim Fletcher and former Birmingham Mail editor Steve Dyson. Full list of judges at the bottom of this article.
Press Gazette editor Dominic Ponsford said: "The British Journalism Awards are intended to celebrate great journalism in the public interest in the tradition of The Sunday Times under Harold Evans and of Woodward and Bernstein.
"To win a British Journalism Award, work must be interesting to the public and in the public interest.
"It is up the judges to decide how to apply the public interest test, but they are looking for work which does more than just titillate and entertain.
"Whereas other journalism awards celebrate fine writing, or witty and incisive comment, these focus on journalism which is revelatory – where journalists have used their skill to probe, investigate and bring new information to light."
The awards take place on 2 December 2014 at Stationers' Hall.
Entries for the 2014 British Journalism Awards should be sent via email to britishjournalismawards@pressgazette.co.uk by 9am on 14 October 2014.
Up to three examples of work can be provided to support each entry as well as an optional supporting statement of up to 300 words.
Work should have have been first published or broadcast between 1 September 2013, and 31 August 2014.
Examples of work must be provided either as PDFs (for stories which have appeared in print) or as weblinks for work which needs to be viewed online. In the case of broadcast work entrants must provide a link to a website where it can be viewed or send clips via post on CD or memory stick format to British Journalism Awards, Press Gazette, John Carpenter House, John Carpenter Street, London EC4Y 0AN.
This year there is a fee of £50 (inc VAT) payable for each entry to help cover the increasing costs of running the event. Payment can be arranged via this secure website, or else email thomas.collinge@progressivemediagroup.com to arrange payment by invoice or direct to Press Gazette by debit or credit card.
Journalists can also be nominated at the discretion of the judges. Press Gazette reserves the right to waive the fee under exceptional circumstances.
The British Journalism Awards recognise work which is aimed at a UK audience.
The judges will be looking for journalism which is compelling, revelatory and which makes a difference. It must be both interesting to the public – and in the public interest.
It will be up to the judges to decide how to apply the public interest test, but they must look for a higher standard than just that a story is interesting to the public.
The judges will take into account the level of journalistic skill, professionalism and effort employed to bring new information to light. The work must tell readers something they did not already know.

Q: How do i integrate my matplotlib animation graph with flask web ui I am plotting data by reading the cell voltages and current and some other parameters using matplotlib in python. I am using Funcanimation to animate the plot. It plots in real-time. The data is being read every second. I can do it with matplotlib now, I want to add this matplotlib to the web application using flask which should have the same functionality as before. Any suggestion on how I should approach it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
here is the video of how my graph plots the data just to give an idea of what I am talking about.
This is the link to the video.

Nikon Unveils New Compact Mirrorless Camera, Nikon 1 J4
5/14/2014 Nikon, Other Compact, Review
Available for pre-order today, Nikon has unveiled a compact mirrorless model with 18.4-megapixel CX format CMOS sensor, WiFi, 60 FPS and touchscreen LCD. Nikon 1 J4 can be purchased with 10-30 mm VR lens for $596.95.
The new interchangeable-lens cameras offers a number of upgrades from its predecessors including an increased ISO light sensitivity range to 12,800 (for shooting in very low light). It has also been reduced in size with a lighter weight compared to the older model.
The Nikon 1 J4 features a 20 fps continuous shooting frame rate at full resolution, with 171-contrast detect focus areas and 105 phase-detect autofocus (AF) points effective for both stills and HD video.
One notable addition to Nikon 1 J4 is the ability to rapidly shoot and analyze 4 photos and combine them into one to reduce image noise. This fantastic little camera features a number of creative options for both still and video capture, including Toy Camera, which makes photos of life-sized scenes look like toy miniatures.
The Nikon 1 J4's video capture capability surely shine compared to its competitors. First of all, you can capture still and video at the same time.
It can shoot 1080p full-HD video at 60 frames per second, and capture 720p HD video at up to 120 fps, to play back at 2x slow motion.
Available this month, the Nikon 1 J4 will sell for $650 with a 3X (10-30mm) zoom kit lens. Available in June, the Nikon 1 S2, kitted with a 11-27.5mm lens, will sell for $450. Additional lens combinations are also available.

Hi, I am Mrs. Dasinger and I am so excited to be a 3rd grade teacher here at AES. Let me begin by saying, that my passion is students and helping them to reach their potential. I have 25 plus years of teaching experience over a variety of grade levels. I have taught kindergarten, first, second, third, fifth and special education self contained. I received my bachelors degree from the University of West Georgia and my masters from Western Governors University. In my personal life, I am married to an administrator and we have 4 children. I enjoy reading and traveling.


Hitachi Data Systems has rounded out its family of storage systems with a modular midrange product that borrows from its higher-end systems.
The new 9500 V boasts virtualisation software, dubbed Lightning, which is present in HDS's high-end 9900 array. With this technology, storage administrators are able to connect a mix of servers through a single port.
"HDS is following the industry and the move to modular," said Jamie Gruener, a senior analyst at Yankee Group. "It is trying to increase functionality and compete with EMC's Clariion product set."
Other competitors in the modular arena include Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems and IBM.
Earlier this year, EMC and Dell, through the companies' resell agreement, rolled out the CX line of Clariion modular systems that features the CX600, CX400, and CX200.
Like EMC's CX600, HDS's 9500 V uses 2Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity internally and delivers more than 30TB of raw capacity.
HDS also introduced HiCommand Tuning Manager Software, a storage resource management tool that integrates with HDS' HiCommand Management Framework. Tuning Manager allows storage administrators to set alerts and create reports that will assist in the future planning and deploying of storage from a single screen.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Unde iste reiciendis facilis voluptatem ad, odit quia quaerat quis voluptatibus aperiam enim rerum quidem dignissimos, voluptas explicabo, ab fugiat consectetur. Ipsum?

Welcome to my tour stop for Stinger and Bow by Orren Merton! This is a young adult urban fantasy and is the first book in a spin off series of The Sedumen Chronicles. The tour runs Feb. 15-26 with reviews, interviews, guest posts and excerpts. Check out the tour page for the full schedule. Read on for my review and be sure to enter the Giveaway!
Thirteen year-old Rachel Silver—or as she's known to the world, Stinger—needs a new crossbow. Her last bow failed her when she needed it most. Besides, Firebird Alex, her aunt and fellow Seduman—half-human, half-spirit being—wields a Sedu blade, made with spirit magic.
So Stinger designs herself a magic crossbow, then convinces her best friends to accompany her around the world and into the universe of Sediin to find the right craftsmen to have it made. Trouble is, warriors attract people who want to challenge them, whether they're ready or not. Stinger is still tormented by her last battle—she's suffering night-terrors, shakes, and cold sweats. When the situation turns deadly, will she be able to come to grips with her trauma and become the warrior she needs to be to save her friends?
I didn't realise this was the fourth book in a series and although it is said that it can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading the first 3 books in the Sedumen series first. This because I felt a bit confused in the first third of the book becuse I couldn't get a clear picture of the whole Sedumen world, the Sedii universe, and events which had taken place prior to this book, even though there is a bit of a brief explanation given in Stinger and Bow.
That being said, however. I found the characters in this book to be well developed and likeable. I liked the friendship and conflict resolutions between friends. The main character Rachel is very brave and spunky for being just thirteen years old which is mostly because of her Seduman heritage and experiences as the Sidekick to Firebird, her Seduman aunt and a sort superhero. I liked that she could do all these cook things as Stinger like spit Stinger darts formed with spirit magic.
The magic system was intriguing and different and the worldbuilding is quite detailed. The prose is also very conversational which lends itself to easy reading and even though there is not a lot of action, the pacing is such that the story flows smoothly.
Overall, a really different take on the urban fantasy genre with some Jewish mythological elemts which gives it a unique voice. I would definitely recommend to lovers of Urban Fantasy.
