W. Bro. Jim MacKinnon P.M.
Dr James Alan MacKinnon was born on April 13, 1916 in Oldham, Lancashire, the eldest of three children. He was the son of a Dr Ronald MacKinnon, a Skye man, born in Staffin, who had moved to Oldham to practise medicine. His uncle, Dr Murdo MacKinnon was a Skye GP, known locally as Dr Beag, 'the little doctor'.
Jim MacKinnon was educated at Manchester Grammar School and later went on to Glasgow University, to study medicine.Prior to the Second World War, in his spare time, Jim was an active member of the Territorial Army. He met his wife to be, Josie, at the University and they married two days after the outbreak of hostilities, in September 1939. World War 2 interrupted his medical studies and he signed up for the Army to fight for his country.
He served in the 7th Armoured Division in the Tank Corps, becoming a Tank Commander. He served in France and was involved in the memorable evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940. Troops in his Division were some of the last to leave and he himself narrowly escaped, by using an inflated rubber ring inner tube, to reach one of the rescue vessels.
In 1942 he received the sad news of the passing of his father, Dr Ronald. He had been a victim of World War I, where he had been gassed, resulting in his lungs being severely burnt. Soon after Jim was posted to Egypt and, as part of the 7th Armoured Division, became known as one of the famed Desert Rats. In 1943, during a campaign, his military service came to an abrupt halt, when his tank was hit by a German shell. A large number of his crew were killed and Jim suffered serious leg injuries. This necessitated major surgery and a period of convalescence in a military hospital in South Africa. The injuries left him permanently disabled. However Jim was of such a character that he never openly let things get him down and was always of a cheery disposition.


If someone would ask me how far I have gone travelling around the Philippines, I would humbly say I have gone too far traveling around the 7,107 islands of the my beautiful country. In the course of my travels, I've discovered many spectacular places, been wowed by lots of amazing sights, tasted various regional cuisines, experienced diverse culture, and commune with different people. Somehow, I could claim I've seen and experience that so called "more than the usual" thing about my homeland. I have traveled so great and so hard it became my passion but toward the end of these journeys, I still shiver in excitement knowing I'm heading back home again – back to my home, my life, my Davao City!
Davao City has been my home for 15 years now. Living here was just a dream. Enjoying fully an awesome life at this Big City was something I never expected. As they say, when one wishes something zealously, everything just falls into place. In my case, it was dream come true.
I was born and raised in the beautiful coastal town of Cateel in the province of Davao Oriental. It used to be 10 long hours away from Davao City. For somebody who grew up in far-flung province, living in Davao City was a big dream. In the early days, vacationing here was by then a luxury. It was every little kid's dream to come here during summer. Only the privileged though could easily be allowed. In my case, I could only count the times I was able to set foot here. So, whenever I got the chance vacationing to Davao City, I lived from hand to mouth experiencing the so called city life there is here so when I come back to my province I could tell exciting stories about the Big City. Every kid in my hometown was like that – passionate about Davao City! Who wouldn't be crazy experiencing things we never had at the province in the very first place. Like my first escalator ride at Datu Complex, my first movie experience at Odeon Theater, my first telephone conversation, my first ride on a Ferris Wheel, my first visit to a big store called NCCC, my first visit to a park called Gap Farm – all of my "firsts" took place at Davao City. And so, that dream of living at this city was born.
After high school, I was sent to Davao City to pursue my college education. Being a probinsyano, starting a student life here was hard. There were times I missed my life back at the province. But whenever I think of that Big Dream to live in Davao, I became willed and determined. Little by little, I learned many things about living in the city. I got to appreciate its comfort and convenience. Bit by bit, I met new friends, acquired new experiences, developed my skills and learned many things that molded me to become sociably dynamic. Sooner, I began to discover different places and explore natural wonders within Davao City. At one point I muttered I need not to go out of the City to see the Wonders of Nature because the whole city alone is an abode of such. I have learned to love Davao City. I have learned to love everything about her. Never did I know that this love that grew in my heart turned into something greater than it is – the passion to live and settle down in Davao City.
As wished, my life has been very blessed here. I was able to get a very good compensating job, acquired a house of my own, bought a car, got to travel to different places and lived a life I have always wanted. Everything just falls into place. Davao City becomes my home. It has become my life. For 15 years now since that day I moved here for college, Davao City becomes home. My LIFE IS HERE.
I just love DAVAO CITY. I love the fact that it perfectly exudes of what I called "a city of different getaways". When I have the itch for the sand and the sea, Davao City has nice beaches. When I'm in the mood for mountain and waterfalls trekking, the highland districts of the City await for me. When I'm the mood for shopping, dining and entertaining, Davao City's fabulous malls, restaurants and bars are just within reach. When I want experience colorful cultural convergence, Davao City takes pride of Kadawayan Festival and the Araw ng Dabaw. Everything is here – great finds, tropical fruits, the famous Durian, the Philippine Eagle, exotic Waling-Waling orchids. There is no room for boredom in the Big City.
For the past 15 years, I've witnessed how Davao City grows from a laid-back city into a brand new metropolis. Progress and growth has come to her. It has become an important gateway to Mindanao. Today, Davao City has soared high but the quality of life here is still the same – absolutely livable! It is a high quality of life that does not come at a high cost. An ideal place to live in and settle down.
Part of my personal growth, I have been traveling around the many beautiful places in the country for many years now. I must say I have toured around the different islands, cities and towns of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. At some point, I have been lured to live in those places but whenever I'm back at the City, I always realize I can never trade Davao City for any place on earth. I can never trade my life I have here in Davao City for any alluring place on earth.
Because LIFE IS HERE in Davao. My life is here!

Hi Olan! I was going through some travel blogs to decide where to bring my kids this summer. I happen to see your blog and found it very interesting. Its nice to know that there are people like you who takes time to guide us "first timers" and rave about the place where you grew up. I would just like to ask how we can maximize our 3 days in Davao and get to see the following places. Crocodile park, eagle sanctuary, eden, Samal Island particularly Isla Reta and Bluejaz resort/Maxima Aqua Fun(which is better)? Coral garden, Haguimit Falls(i have a 6 year old boy, will it be safe for him or is it too far to walk), Jack's Ridge, Lachi's, and before we go home, we want to buy some pomelo and mangosteen or probably visit the market. Thanks for your help! excited to see davao on Monday!
While reading this entry, I couldn't just help myself but to smile. I've loved everything in this entry. I felt proud that I've lived in this wonderful and majestic city since birth.
Even though right at this moment, Davao City is still a livable city and it's why some people in other places chose to live here and start a new life as a Davaoeno.

On average, children receive less than 0.35 millisievert per year in medical radiology . A reassuring figure that all the same requires monitoring.
A pelvic x-ray at 4 months to detect potential malformations, a lung x-ray for bronchiolitis, fracture x-rays, dental panoramic radiographic examinations for orthodontic treatment… In their first years of life, children's medical care may involve a number of imaging examinations. Thus the question: what is the dose of radiation received?
To answer this question, and in accordance with the directive Euratom 97/43, IRSN and INVS (French Institute for Public Health Surveillance) set up an information system on medical exposure of patients to ionizing radiation, known as Expri, in 2003.
Radiological examinations, notably of the pelvis, are frequent in children. In 2008, the French National Authority for Health recommended replacing this radiographic examination with an ultrasound examination.
The objective from now on is to reduce the dose to a minimum, by only carrying out examinations when they are necessary. "We are trying to limit the number of x-rays by not taking one of each foot for example to compare them, or not taking x-rays of painless flat feet", says Prof. Raphaël Vialle at the paediatric orthopaedic department at Trousseau hospital in Paris. "I also have strong reservations about using the CT-scanner, especially as ultrasound or the MRI scanner are often good replacement solutions, which do not use ionizing radiation." However, he admits that certain general practitioners or private practice paediatricians, convinced doing the right thing, prescribe a number of procedures to compile a complete record before referring children to the hospital.
Children are believed to receive between 0.15 and 0.35 mSv/year at most. These average values are reassuring, but undoubtedly mask two more worrying phenomena that are a strong increase in the doses received (+57% in adults between 2002 and 2007), due to better health care management, and the technical impossibility of identifying high-risk populations, such as newborns who are undergoing more examinations than the average. A double-edged question to which the next update, based on the 2012 data, should be able to respond.
Children under the age of one receive on average per year the most radiation (0.35 mSv/year on average).
From 1 to 10 years, the number of procedures, and therefore the dose received, decreases (0.2 mSv/year in the 1-4 age group, 0.15 mSv in the 5-9 age group), to rise again as of the age of 10, due to examination of the limbs, more common in this age range, and dental panoramic radiographic examinations (0.2 mSv in the 10-14 age group and 0.3 mSv in the 15-17 age group).
1- As a comparison, exposure to natural radiation is between 2 and 3 mSv.

Irish at Battle of Trenton – Wolfe Tone Bantry Bay – The Harbour Grace Affray
General John Sullivan 1740-1795
1776: John Sullivan at Battle of Trenton
Battle of Trenton occurs where Continental troops under the command of John Sulllivan defeat and capture Hessian troops. For morale reasons alone this was an important victory to a revolutionary army that at the time was in low spirits.
Prior to the battle at Trenton when Sullivan advised his gunpowder was getting wet, Washington reportedly responded ""Tell General Sullivan to use the bayonet. I am resolved to take Trenton."
John Sullivan was third son of Irish immigrants who settled in New Hampshire. In 1772, he was commissioned a major in the New Hampshire militia and in 1774 he went as a delegate to the First Continental Congress, meeting at Philadelphia (PA). During the American Revolution Sullivan rose to the rank of General.
Other Irish involved in the campaign and associated with Sullivan include Ulster born Brigadier General William Maxwell who fought with Sullivan in a 1779 campaign against the Iroquois who had sided with the British.
1796: Wolfe Tone at Bantry Bay.
Wolfe Tone 1763-1798
The French invasion fleet which had hoped to land in Ireland is marooned off Bantry Bay, Co. Cork in dreadful weather conditions unable to land. A despondent Wolfe Tone writes in his journal dated December 26th:
"Last night, at half after six o'clock, in a heavy gale of wind still from the east, we were surprised by the Admiral's frigate running under our quarter, and hailing the Indomitable with orders to cut our cable and put to sea instantly; the frigate then pursued her course, leaving us all in the utmost astonishment. . . . All our hopes are now reduced to get back in safety to Brest, and I believe we will set sail for that port the instant the weather will permit. . . . Notwithstanding all our blunders, it is the dreadful stormy weather and the easterly winds, which have been blowing furiously and without intermission since we made Bantry Bay, that have ruined us."
1883: The Harbour Grace Affray
Tensions between Irish Catholics and Orangemen were not confined to the streets of Belfast. In Newfoundland, Canada a riot breaks out during an Orange parade in which five people are killed. A group of up to 400 hundred marching men of the Loyal Orange Association were confronted by an estimated 150 Catholics who believed the post-Christmas march encroached on Catholic territory. Violence broke out resulting in the death of one Catholic, three Orangemen and an apparently innocent bystander. The local police constable – a Protestant and Orange order supporter was charged with the murder of the Catholic marcher but acquitted.
Harbour Grace appears to have been a hotbed of religious intolerance on both side. The official Harbour Grace website notes that "A riot is noted in The Colonial Records of Harbour Grace in 1764 as a group of Irish Roman Catholics assembled, "riotously…to destruct the peace of our Lord the King.. and upon several persons… did make assault." The offenders received lashes and/or fines. In 1775 several people were convicted of having Mass said at their homes. The offending people received such punishments as having their homes burnt down, their fish rooms demolished, their possessions sold, receiving fines, or being expelled from the island."

First Build: Blackwell Boatworks
(Photo: Freddy Ippolito)
By Nichole Osinski
Craig Blackwell didn't grow up on the East Coast where so many famous sportfishing boats have been designed and built to later dominate tournaments worldwide. The Blackwell Boatworks founder instead spent his early years in Michigan along the chilly waters off Lake Huron. However, some individuals are simply meant to live that offshore life.
"My dad used to drag me to all the boat yards because he loved boats," Blackwell recalls. "I just liked boats, I liked the water. I fished when I was a little kid, but I really wanted to build a boat and sail around the world. That was my goal as a young man."
With a boat building passion, Blackwell set about finding ways to get into the boat building world. At the age of 16, he started work with the Gougeon Brothers, the creators of the West System Resin, an epoxy resin that was new for the time but well-known throughout the sportfishing world today. Blackwell worked there for about five years, focusing on sailboat building and learning the ins and outs of lightweight, strong wood and composite construction.
He then moved to Florida to work at Monterey Marine, which eventually became the American Yacht Company, working there for about a year and a half. Then in 1980 Buddy Davis hired the young man to come work for him in North Carolina. "He was building what's called a frame boat, and he wanted to build a jig boat, so he hired me to set that up for him. I eventually ended up building all his jig boats and he switched to fiberglass after that."
Blackwell Goes His Own Way
Six years later in 1986, Blackwell decided it was time to go into business for himself, something he'd dreamed of doing for a long time.
"Working for other people is a lot less stressful, but it wasn't what I wanted to do," he says. "I wanted to work for myself and be independent, so I did repair work for a number of years before I started building boats."
The repair work mainly centered around commercial vessels and sport boats, since that was what was predominantly being built in the area. And it was the repair work that led to hull number one.
Blackwell was brought on by Sportsman Boatworks to build a 54-foot sportfisher for them. It was during that project that the company went bankrupt.
"The owner of the boat asked me to finish it for him, and I said yes. Consequently, that's where it started," Blackwell reminisces. "I didn't really have a plan. When the guy came to me to finish the boat I didn't have a building, didn't have money, didn't even have the tools. All of a sudden, I had a boat to finish and had to find a building to put it in."
The First Build
He quickly found an available building in Manns Harbor and started his first build. The hull had been laid out by Sportsman, but with Craig taking over the project, everything from the deck up would be his. For this boat, which would have a home port in Puerto Rico, the owner already knew what he wanted.
The cold molded boat, which would be named Evelyn, would consist of a 20kw generator, three staterooms, two heads, teak interior and a pair of 1000 hp MAN diesel engines.
When building the boat, Blackwell took his experience from the Gougeon Brothers and Buddy Davis and applied this to the project as well as future builds.
"The idea of building over a jig with plywood was something that I brought into the area," he says. "I learned this up in Michigan. The Gougeon Brothers, they were innovators. Buddy Davis was also a unique individual and very much an innovator himself; there was no obstacle too big. It was a neat experience to work for him."
But going from sail to power meant the building stresses would be completely different.
Work had started on the boat in 1989, and Blackwell estimates he worked on that build project at least 12 hours a day.
And due to the owner-to-be living in Puerto Rico, all communication had to be done over the phone. Because the new owner only spoke Spanish, and Craig did not, a bilingual friend would also have to be on these calls to translate. The three-way calls would take place around 9 p.m. every night except for weekends.
"During these conference calls, they wanted to know what was going on, and we would send pictures of the boat updates as things progressed, which is something we still do today."
Evelyn Embarks
Finally, in 1990, Evelyn was ready for the water.
"It's kind of unusual, you get on something that you built, you put it in the water, and you can hear the noise of the water on the hull, it's a unique experience when you sit there and look at it and think, 'I put this thing together,' 'cause it starts out as just a drawing on a piece of paper," Blackwell says. "It still amazes me when you sit on a boat you put together."
With the completion of Evelyn, Craig Blackwell's boat building dream had finally become reality.
The Solivia Rose
The boat was sent to Puerto Rico, where it lived until she was sold to Freddy Ippolito in 2014. Evelyn was renamed Solivia Rose, and before being put out on the water in her new home in Montauk, New York, she once again was in Craig Blackwell's hands for refit work. She stayed in the boat yard for the better part of a year having new electronics put in, getting the addition of a mezzanine and a green stick installed among other updates. Now on the East Coast, the Solivia Rose and her crew would spend time tuna fishing and getting competitive in tournaments.
"The ride on that was something else. It was probably one of the driest boats I've ever been on. The boat had a very sharp entry so it was pretty amazing in a head sea," Ippolito says.
Ippolito had the boat for four years before selling her to a man in Texas. She recently changed hands again, and Ippolito believes she is somewhere still on the east coast. But wherever the 54-footer may be cruising, one thing is certain: she paved the way for a whole generation of Blackwell-made boats.
Blackwell Continues
After finishing hull number one, Blackwell kept building, starting with another 54-footer followed again by a third 54-footer. "It just kind of snowballed after that," he says.
Blackwell estimates that his company has built around 80 boats since then, including the 50′ convertible they reported to InTheBite last year. Despite the long hours in the shop, he says the most difficult challenge he has faced as a boat builder has simply been learning to become a businessman.
"You can be very good as a builder but if you don't get the other part right, you don't survive," he says. "Working for yourself you have to hit the ground running."
And in an ironic twist, starting a boat building company has also, in a sense, taken Blackwell on that round-the-world trip. His boats have been built for owners around the globe, from North Carolina to Dubai. So what then are his thoughts when thinking about his journey into the boat-building world and the legacy hull number one left behind?
"I think one of the best parts was getting to know the people we built for; sometimes that's just as fun as building the boat itself," Blackwell says. "The biggest lesson I've learned is patience, slow down, slow down and family is much more important than making money."

El FK ASK fue un equipo de fútbol de Letonia que jugó en la Liga Soviética de Letonia, la desaparecida primera división de fútbol en el país.

Historia
Fue fundado en el año 1923 en la capital Riga como el equipo representante del ejército. Un año después logra el ascenso a la Primera División.

En 1932 es campeón nacional por primera vez ante el Riga Vanderer en un partido de desempate que terminó 3-1. Un año después gana por primera vez la Copa Soviética de Letonia venciendo en la final al Riga Vanderer.

Fue durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial que el club supo lo que era ser campeón nacional nuevamente, ganando dos títulos de liga en ese periodo hasta que el equipo desaparece en 1944 por la ocupación soviética en la Operación Barbarroja.

Un año después el club es refundado como FK AVN, convirtiéndose en uno de los equipos más fuertes de Letonia en los años 1950 donde fue campeón de liga en dos ocasiones y ganó la copa nacional tres veces, con la diferencia de que el equipo era conformado por jugadores provenientes de los diversos territorios ocupados por Unión Soviética. El club desaparece nuevamente en 1953 como parte del proceso de eliminación de equipos no pertenecientes a la Unión Soviética.

Un año después el club renace como FK ASK como el club más fuerte de Letonia en los años 1960 en donde fue campeón de liga en seis ocasiones de manera consecutiva de 1960 a 1965, un récord local hasta lo hecho por el Skonto FC en los años 1990 e inicios de años 2000, así como dos títulos de copa. El club no estaba compuesto por soldados ya que civiles ya participaron en él, aunque su equipo base era compuesto por jugadores extranjeros.

El club oficialmente desaparece en 1970.

Located 70km north of Izmir, Alacati is one of the best-preserved towns in Turkey where old stone houses exist. Greek migrant workers who transformed the area from marshlands to a fertile wine-growing region built these stone houses. Today, the town is seen as one of the most fashionable holiday destinations on the Aegean Sea and is popular with windsurfers€ross the world.


This year marks the 100th anniversary of the London Underground typeface 'Johnston'. It's a well known and well loved font that we can all recognise, and which is so synonymous with the London Underground it is impossible to imagine any other.
Frank Pick was a transport administrator who started working for the London Underground in 1906. Once promoted to Publicity Manager in 1908, Pick set about making his mark. The multitude of various typefaces used across the railway bothered him, he (quite correctly) believed corporate design should be consistent, easy to understand and look good. In 1913 he commissioned Edward Johnston, a British calligrapher and lettering artist, to create a new font for the Underground, one with 'bold simplicity' to ensure the underground retained its reputation for modernity while heading into the future.
Pick needed the font to be easy to read from a moving train and in bad lighting, as well as stand alone amongst other shop signage and advertising, he told Johnston each letter should be 'a strong and unmistakeable symbol'. Quite the challenge really, and one to which Johnston magnificently rose to.
'Underground', later named 'Johnston', was a daring move, but a brilliant one. It completely transformed and revolutionised the way in which the railway presented itself. It is hard now to imagine how 'new and 'surprising' it was for the regular commuters on 1916.
Sadly, by the late 1970's the original letterpress tools were proving impractical and the brand was being watered down as other fonts were used to counter-act this. So in 1979 it was updated by design agency Banks & Miles - a design company which understood the original ethos behind Pick's and Johnston's ideas and were sympathic to it's 'restoration' and 'digitisation'. While some were keen to start afresh, (there were very few weights created originally and it was proving harder and harder to use) Banks & Miles knew the best thing to do would be to revive it rather than create something brand new, and so they did, meaning 'Johnston' continued, now as 'New Johnston'.
I doubt Edward Johnston quite realised what he had created back in 1916, it is a fantastic piece of typographic work and one which brings that old saying to mind, "if it isn't broken, don't fix it". You can find out more about the history and development of the London Transport typeface by clicking here.
It has proved to be one of the most resiliant corporate designs of all time. Happy Birthday 'Johnston'.
Great post Emily. Whilst an undergrad student at Exeter School of Art and Design, back in the early 90's I recall attending a lecture that was intriguingly entitled 'UNDERGROUND TYPOGRAPHY'. I thought, perhaps not unreasonably, that it would be a lecture about subversive, anti-establishment type and graphics. It wasn't. A then young designer from Banks & Miles called Garrett Reil (now Design Director at leading branding agency, Futurebrand) gave a fascinating talk about the digitisation of the New Johnston typeface. Not at all what we expected, but hugely interesting none-the-less.


"Did I manufacture all of these things in my thoughts?" Hidden Places frontman, David Fuller, asks at the onset of their new topsy-turvy doozy of a single, "Okay," from their forthcoming EP, Uh's.
An endless barrage of cymbal crashes transforms into a recognizable disco-dance beat set underneath twinkly-guitars and staccato bass-lines that set the pace for this schizophrenic cut. The band takes considerable leads from the avant-funk grooves found on the greatest of Talking Heads and Interpol songs while the signature yelps of David Byrne are echoed in the more chaotic moments. Yet, the band is still careful to carve out their own identity amid the influences they wear on their sleeve.
I think we can all relate with that these days.

Hayley must have done a costume change somewhere between the video being taken and the photos above.
Thanks, Hammer, for your details of the set list so quickly!
'Jolene' sounded brilliant... I heard a "Dolly" accent there y'all!
Naaaa didn't sound like Dolly. Much different than the country version.
And she sang Summerfly? I only remember hearing a live version once before, and it was faster than the album version. How did she do this time?
I'm not sure the song would be put on the Ennio Morricone album, but maybe on the next one, which she indicates might follow fairly soon after. But that could mean a whole year later, who knows?
I don't think I've ever seen Hayley wearing flip-flops before; those are pretty ones, too.
Annelies has just tweeted this pic of Hayley and her.
A quite different look for Hayley - wonder if her teeshirt is one of the things she ruined??
Hayley looks so tiny in the first picture. Is she really that small or is it the camera angle?
Thanks very much to Jonathan Ansell's forum for these!
I thought she did a great job. Enough "Dolly" in it not to spoil the song. Enough Hayley in it not to sound Karaoke. A difficult balance to achieve.
Dolly's songwriting catalog would look to be a good place to look for "songs you would like her to do sometime". A great songwriter and who can forget the hit Whitney had with "I Will Always Love You". Admitted the film helped.
Wow, Jonathan's hair is really something else! Not surprised he cut it.
Great song, and Hayley looks beautiful. Is that a new dress I spy? lol And her hair and jewellery match it really well.
Sounds like a great concert... wish I was there.
Am I the only one who thinks Jonathan's hair looks great like that? The look really suits him, IMO.
Delighted with your reference to the Hayley and Faryl pic. Sheer chance I dropped in to pick that up.
The note at the very end of Jolene was especially pretty.
That dress does look new!
You have to log in to see anymore photos on the JA forum. I don't really want to become a member just for that. Why can't it be like other forums where you don't have to log in to see stuff?
Were there anymore pics of Hayley?
Luckily AJ Moore said on facebook that he had a bunch of pictures that he'll upload soon.
I look forward to seeing you again at Buxton. Although I have to admit right now I can't put a face to the name. Yes, we were at Bath, so you must be right. And Nottingham will be the first time we have seen Hayley since, that is far too long.
I agree, every Hayley show i have ever been too was special and unique. It's true she sings many of the same songs at each one, but there is not a single one that was not different and special in some way.
Some people in that country to the west of here have suggested repeatedly that Hayley should sing more country music. Is this her response? Personally I would love more folk music.
Well, I think she likes the music enough that she wants to do it. She is following Taylor Swift, and she said last year that she was listening to Dolly Parton.
If a bunch of people wanted her to do rap, I don't thinks she'd do it. :wink: I think she has to really like the music before she records it.


A large number of Massey staff do research involving microbes. This research spans pretty much the entire breadth of microbiology, including medical and veterinary microbiology, environmental microbiology biotechnology, nanotechnology, bacteriology, virology and mycology.
The slideshow on the left shows some examples.To find out more about what these scientists are working on, search for "Microbiology" in the Massey expertise database. Through links in the data base you will also be able to contact them once you are about to finish undergrad to find out if they have postgrad projects available.
Or look at some of our most recent publications in scientific journals.

Q: Binary Search Tree Density? I am working on a homework assignment that deals with binary search trees and I came across a question that I do not quite understand. The question asks how density affects the time it takes to search a binary tree. I understand binary search trees and big-O notation, but we have never dealt with density before.

A: Density of a binary search tree can be defined as the number of nodes cumulative to a level. A  perfect binary tree would have the highest density. So the question basically asks you about how the number of nodes at each level effect the searching time in the tree. Let me know if that's not clear.

Postscript: Frank wanted me to say that he is always right. I say haha!
Frank and I are in the Domincan Republic for our honeymoon and our first stop is in Santo Domingo for a few days.
Santo Domingo was founded in 1496 by Christopher Columbus's younger brother, Bartholomew, and served as the first seat of Spanish colonial rule in the New World. As the oldest continuously inhabited European city in the Americas, the Zona Colonial in Santo Domingo is full of amazing old buildings dating back four and five hundred years.
In our short time here so far we have had a chance to visit the oldest cathedral in the Americas, Cathedral of Santa María la Menor, which was constructed from 1512 to 1540, as well as the oldest still standing stone building in the New World, Casa del Cordon (1502), which now houses a bank.
In addition to the beautiful historic sights we have been impressed with how genuinely friendly everyone is here. As an example, while we were taking pictures in front of Cathedral of Santa María la Menor several people stopped to let us know that the entrance was down the street behind the building before heading along their way.
We've also had some delicious meals here from fantastic ceviche at La Taberna Vasca to sandwiches stuffed with ham, pulled pork, two types of cheese and green tomatoes at Barra Payan.
It has been a great two days so far and I am looking forward to exploring Santo Domingo more!


While UFOs are often seen as objects that belong in the imagination of conspiracy theorists, the British Government has taken them very seriously for years.
In 2008, the Government started to release its UFO files to the public in the hopes of being as transparent as possible.
But while the release process was expected to take three years at most, three files still haven't been made public, according to Nick Pope, a former employee at the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
Why the Government is withholding the files remains unclear, but Mr Pope explained that the files have been sent backwards and forwards between the MoD and The National Archives at least twice, adding to people's suspicions.
Mr Pope added that while he and his colleagues took the issue of UFOs seriously, they were often forced to 'spin' the subject for the media, 'disingenuously stating that the subject was of "no defence significance"'.

Taking a Cue From the Human
Linguistic and Visual Prompts for the Automatic Sequencing of Multimodal Narrative

Human beings find the process of narrative sequencing in written texts and moving imagery a relatively simple task. Key to the success of this activity is establishing coherence by using critical cues to identify key characters, objects, actions and locations as they contribute to plot development. In the drive to make audiovisual media more widely accessible (through audio description), and media archives more searchable (through content description), computer vision experts strive to automate video captioning in order to supplement human description activities. Existing models for automating video descriptions employ deep convolutional neural networks for encoding visual material and feature extraction (Krizhevsky, Sutskever, & Hinton, 2012; Szegedy et al., 2015; He, Zhang, Ren, & Sun, 2016). Recurrent neural networks decode the visual encodings and supply a sentence that describes the moving images in a manner mimicking human performance. However, these descriptions are currently "blind" to narrative coherence.
Our study examines the human approach to narrative sequencing and coherence creation using the MeMAD [Methods for Managing Audiovisual Data: Combining Automatic Efficiency with Human Accuracy] film corpus involving five-hundred extracts chosen as stand-alone narrative arcs. We examine character recognition, object detection and temporal continuity as indicators of coherence, using linguistic analysis and qualitative assessments to inform the development of more narratively sophisticated computer models in the future.

Road Improvements To Commence In Narooma from Sun Nov 4th
The Princes Highway at Narooma will undergo resurfacing and intersection improvements during the month of November.
Member for Bega Andrew Constance said the NSW Government has provided $1.2 million for the work on the Princes Highway which will improve safety, help prevent future maintenance issues, and allow for greater turning sight distance.
"Work will include rebuilding the road foundation, replacing the road surface and line marking in both directions between Wharf Street and Harrington Street.
"Improvement work will also be completed at the intersection of the Princes Highway and Clarke Street and the Princes Highway and Marine Drive to improve sight distance," Mr Constance said.
"This work is being completed now in preparation for a busy holiday period over Christmas."
To minimise impacts to motorists, work will be carried out between 6pm to 6am Sunday to Thursday from Sunday 4 November for four weeks, weather permitting.
Lane closures and a reduced speed limit of 40 km/h will be in place during work hours.
Access to side streets will be restricted at times while the road is being resurfaced. Detours will be in place.
Motorists are advised to allow additional travel time and follow the direction of traffic control and signs.
"Residents within the work area may experience short delays accessing their property and should ensure all vehicles are parked off the road during work hours," Mr Constance said.
Roads and Maritime Services thanks the community for its patience during this time.

Troubled RBS branch sale could miss end of year deadline and 'drag on until 2016'
By Alex Hawkes
Published: 17:18 EST, 17 August 2013 | Updated: 03:49 EST, 19 August 2013
Taxpayer-owned Royal Bank of Scotland could miss the deadline at the end of the year to sell 316 branches by more than two years.
One of the bidders has warned that the sale, known as Project Rainbow, could drag on until 2016.
W&G Investments, made up of 25 blue-chip UK investors, is proposing to buy the branches for an initial £1.1 billion. It said: 'It is possible that separation will not be achieved within the two-year period currently contemplated.'
The 'Project Rainbow' branch sale could drag on for another two years, according to one of the bidders
W&G also said that it was setting a four-year deadline – after which RBS would have to repay any money W&G had already put down.
Three parties have submitted bids to take on the branches, with a preferred bidder likely to be announced in September.
The European Commission made it a condition of the Government's bailout of the group that it sell the branches by December of this year. RBS is set to ask for an extension.

Company news: RBS
The sale has proved much more complex than expected. Santander had hoped to buy the branches, but pulled out earlier this year. W&G, led by former Tesco finance director Andrew Higginson, plans to raise £15 million through an Aim listing to cover the costs of its bid.
W&G hoped to list on Wednesday of last week, but will now list on Tuesday. A spokesman would not elaborate on reasons for the delay.
The two other bidders, private equity firms Anacap and Corsair, separately propose to partner RBS on a flotation of the branches.
Meanwhile, RBS finance director Bruce van Saun has sold almost half his stake in the bank, earning £391,000. The American, who earned £2.3 million last year, is set to become chief executive of Citizens, a US bank owned by RBS.
Van Saun is understood to have sold the shares to finance his move across the Atlantic.

The First Six and the Eleventh and Twelfth Books of Euclid's Elements: With ...
Από τον/την Euclid, James Thomson
with LG. But the gnomon CMG, and LG make up the figure CEFB, which is the square of CB: also AH is the rectangle under AD and DB, because DB is equal (II. 4. cor. 1.) to DH, and LG is the square of CD. Therefore the rectangle AD.DB, together with the square of CD, is equal to the square of CB. * Wherefore, if a straight line, &c.
Cor. 1. Hence the difference of the squares of CB and CD is equal to the rectangle under AD and DB. But since AC is equal to CB, AD is equal to the sum of CB and CD, and DB is the difference of these lines. Hence the difference of the squares of two straight lines is equal to the rectangle under their sum and difference.
Cor. 2. Since the square of CB, or which is the same, the rectangle AC.CB, is greater than the rectangle AD.DB by the square of CD, it follows, that to divide a straight line into two parts, the rectangle of which may be the greatest possible, or, as it is termed, a maximum, the line is to be bisected.
Cor. 3. Hence also the sum of the squares of the two parts into which a straight line is divided, is the least possible, or is, as it is termed, a minimum, when the line is bisected. For (II. 4.) the square of the line is equal to the squares of the parts and twice their rectangle ; and therefore the greater the rectangle is, the less are the squares of the parts: but, by the foregoing corollary, the rectangle is a maximum when the line is bisected.
Cor. 4. Since (I. 47. cor. 4.) the difference of the squares of the sides of a triangle is equal to the difference of the squares of the segments of the base, it follows, from the first corollary above, that the rectangle under the sum and difference of the sides of a triangle, is equal to the rectangle under the sum and difference of the segments, intercepted between the extremities of the base and the point in which the perpendicular cuts the base, or the base produced.
Cor. 5. Hence also, if a straight line AD be drawn from the vertex A of an isosceles triangle ABC, to any point D in the base, or its continuation, the difference of the squares of that line and either of the equal sides is equal to the rectangle under BD and DC, the segments intercepted between the extremities of the base and the point D. To prove this, bisect BC in E, and join
E DC
• Otherwise. Since, as is proved in the deinonstration in the text, AL is equal to DF, take these separately from the entire figure, and there remain AH and LG equal to the square CF, as before. The proof may also be as follows:
AD.DB = CD.DB + AC.DB (II. 1.), or AD.DB = CD.DB + CB.DB, because CB = AC. Hence (II. 3.) AD.DB CD.DB + CD.DB + DB2 = 2CD.DB + DB?. To each of these add CD2 : then AD.DB + CD? = 2CD.DB + DB? + CD', or (II. 4.) AD. DB + CD' =
= CB
AE: then (1. 8.) AE is perpendicular to BC. But (cor. 4.) the difference of the squares of AB and AD is equal to the rectangle under the sum and difference of BE and ED: that is, to the rectangle under BD and DC, since BE is equal to EC.
Cor. 6. Since (I. 47.) the square of one of the legs of a rightangled triangle is equal to the difference of the squares of the hypotenuse and the other leg, it follows (II. 5. cor. 1.) that the square of one leg of a right-angled triangle is equal to the rectangle under the sum and difference of the hypotenuse and the other.
PROP. VI. THEOR. If a straight line be bisected, and produced to any point; the rectangle contained by the whole line thus produced, and the part of it produced, together with the square of half the line bisected, is equal to the square of the straight line which is made up of the half and the part produced.
Let the straight line AB be bisected in C, and produced to D; the rectangle AD.DB, and the square of CB, are equal to the
square of CD.
B D
G F
Upon CD describe (I. 46.) the square CF, and join DE; through B draw (1. 31.) BHG parallel to CE or DF; through H draw KLM parallel to AD or EF, and through A draw AK parallel to CL or DM. Then, because AC is equal to CB, the rectangle AL is equal (I. 36.) to CH; but (I. 43.) the complements CH, HF are equal ; therefore also AL is equal to HF. To each of these add CM and LG; therefore AM and LG are equal to the whole square CEFD. But AM is the rectangle under AD and DB, because (II. 4. cor. 1.) DB is equal to DM: also LG is the square of CB, and CEFD the square of CD. Therefore the rectangle AD.DB and the square of CB are equal to the square of CD. * Wherefore, if a straight line, &c.
OTHERWISE. Produce CA to N, and make CN equal to CD. To these add the equals CB and CA ; therefore NB is equal (I. ax. 2.) to AD. But (II. 5.) the rectangle NB.BD, or AD.BD, together with the square of CB, is equal to the square of CD: which was to be proved.
* After it has been proved, as above, that HF is equal to AL, the rest of the proof will be simplified by taking these separately from the whole figure, as there will remain the rectangle AM and the square LG, together equal to the
square CF.
Р Е
PROP. VII. THEOR. If a straight line be divided into any two parts, the squares of the whole line, and of one of the parts, are equal to twice the rectangle contained by the whole and that part, together with the square of the other part.
Let the straight line AB be divided into any two parts in the point C; the squares of AB, BC are equal to twice the rectangle AB.BC, together with the square of AC.
Upon AB describe (I. 46.) the square AE, and construct the figure as in the preceding propositions. Then, because (I. 43.) the complements AG, GE are equal, add to each of them CK; the whole AK is therefore equal to the whole CE; therefore AK, CE are together double of AK. But AK, CE are the gnomon AKF, together with the square CK; therefore the gnomon AKF, and the square CK are double of AK, or double of the rectangle AB.BC, because BC is equal (II. 4. cor. 1.) to BK. To each of these equals add HF, which is equal (II. 4. cor. 1.) to the square of AC; therefore the gnomon AKÈ, and the squares CK, HF, are equal to twice the rectangle A B.BC and the
square of AC. But the gnomon AKF, and the squares CK, HF, make up the whole figure, AE, together with CK; and these
squares of AB and BC: therefore the squares of AB and BC are equal to twice the rectangle AB.BC, together with the square of AC:* wherefore, if a straight line, &c.
Cor. 1. Since AC is the difference of AB and BC, it follows that the square of the difference of two straight lines is equal to the sum of their squares, wanting twice their rectangle.
Cor. 2. Since (II. 4.) the square of the sum of two lines exceeds the sum of their squares, by twice their rectangle, and since, by the foregoing corollary, the square of their difference is less than the sum of their squares, by twice their rectangle, it follows that the square of the sum of two lines, is equal to the square of their difference, together with four times their rectangle.
PROP. VIII. THEOR. If a straight line be divided into any two parts, four times the rectangle contained by the whole and one of the parts, together with the square of the other part, is equal to the square of the straight line which is made up
of the whole and the former part. Let the straight line AB be divided into any two parts in C;
are the
* Otherwise. Because (II. 4.) AB? = AC? + BC? + 2AC.BC, add BCo to both; then AB' + BC = AC? + 2BC? + 2 AC.BC. But (II. 3.) BC? + AC.BC = AB. BC, and therefore 2BC? + 2AC.BC= 2A B.BC; wherefore AB: + BC* = AC° + 2A B.BC.
four times the rectangle AB.BC, and the square of AC, are equal to the square of the line made up of AB and BC together.
Produce AB to D, so that BD may be equal to CB, and upon AD describe the square AF: join DE, and draw BKL, CPH parallel to AE or DF, and NKGM, XPRO parallel to AD or EF. Because CB jg equal (const.) to BD, and that CB is equal (I. 34.) to GK, and BD to KN; therefore GK is equal to KN. For the same reason PR is equal to RO: and because CB is equal to BD, and GK to KN, the rectangle CK is equal (I. 36.) to BN, and GR to RN. But CK is equal (1. 43.) to RN; therefore also BN is equal to GR; and the four rectangles BN, CK, GR, RN are therefore equal to one another, and so are quadruple of one of them CK. Again, because CB is equal to BD, and that BD is equal (II. 4. cor. 1.) to BK, that is, to CG; and CB equal to GK, that is, to GP; therefore CG is equal to GP: and because CG is equal to GP, and PR to RO, the rectangle AG is equal to MP, and PL to RF. But MP is equal (I. 43.) to PL, because they are the complements of the parallelogram ML; wherefore AG is equal also to RF. Therefore the four rectangles AG, MP, PL, RF are equal to one another, and so are quadruple of one of them AG. It was also demonstrated, that the four CK, BN, GR, and RN are quadruple of CK: therefore the eight rectangles which make up the gnomon AOH, are quadruple of AK : and because AK is contained by AB, BK, or AB, BC, four times the rectangle AB.BC, is quadruple of AK. But the gnomon AOH was demonstrated to be quadruple of AK; therefore four times the rectangle AB.BC is equal to AOH. To each of these add XH, which is equal (II. 4. cor. 1.) to the square of AC: then four times the rectangle AB.BC, and the square of AC are equal to the gnomon AOH and the square XH, that is, the square of AD: and AD is equal to AB and BC added together in one straight line. * Wherefore, if a straight line, &c.
PROP. IX. THEOR. If a straight line be divided into two equal, and also into two unequal parts; the squares of the unequal parts are together double of the square of half the line, and of the square of the line between the points of section.
Let the straight line AB be divided equally in C, and unequally
* This proposition is virtually the same as the second corollary to the seventh proposition, AD being the sum, and AC the difference of AB and BC. Should any person wish to demonstrate it independently of that corollary, the following proof may probably be preferred to the tedious one given in the text.
AD2 = AC? + CD + 2AC.CD (II. 4.) But (II. 4. cor. 2.) CD' = 4CB? : also 2 AC.CD= 4AC.CB: wherefore AD? = AC? + 4CB? + 4AC.CB. But (II. 3.) A B.BC=CB? + AC.CB, and therefore 4A B.BC= 4CB: + 4AC. CB. Hence AD? = AC: + 4A B.BC.
in D: the squares of AD, DB are together double of the squares of AC, CD.
From C draw (I. 11.) CE at right angles to AB, and make it equal to AC or CB, and join EA, EB: through D draw (I. 31.) DF parallel to CE, and through F draw FG parallel to AB; and join AF. Then, because (const.) the triangles ACE, BCE are right-angled and isosceles, the angles CAE, AEC, CEB, EBC, are (1. 32. cor. 4.) each half a right angle. So also (I. 29. part 2.) are EFG, BFD, because FG is parallel to AB, and FD to EC: and, for the same reason, EGF, ADF are right angles. The angle AEB is also a right angle, its parts being each half a right angle. Hence (I. 6.) EG is equal to GF or CD, and FD to DB. Again (I. 47.) the square of AE is equal to the squares of AC, CE, or to twice the square
of AC, since AC and CE are equal. In like manner, the square of EF is equal to twice the square of GF or CD. Now, (I. 47.) the squares of AD and DF, or of AD and DB, are equal to the square of AF; and the squares of AE, EF, that is, twice the square of AC and twice the square of CD, are also equal to the
square of AF: therefore (I. ax. 1.) the squares of AD, DB are equal to twice the square of AC and twice the square
of CD. If, therefore, a straight line, &c.
OTHERWISE. DBP +2BC.CD=BC2 + CD(II. 7.), or DBP +2AC.CD= AC° +CD2 : also (II. 4.) AD2=AC! +CD2+2 AC.CD. Add these equals together, and from the sums take 2 AC.CD; then AD'+DBP=2AC° +2CD.
PROP. X. THEOR.
If a straight line be bisected, and produced to any point, the squares of the whole line thus produced, and of the part of it produced, are together double of the square of half the line bisected, and of the square of the line made up of the half and the part produced.
Let the straight line AB be bisected in C, and produced to D; the squares
of AD, DB are double of the squares of AC, CD. From C draw (I. 11.) CE perpendicular to AB; and make it equal to AC or CB; join AE, EB, and through E and D draw (1. 31.) EF parallel to AB, and DF parallel to CE. Then because the straight line EF meets the parallels EC, FD, the angles CEF, EFD are equal (I. 29.) to two right angles; and therefore the

20th Century Boy: The Ultimate Collection
20th Century Boy: The Ultimate Collection (2002)
by Marc Bolan & T. Rex
Given that the T. Rex/Marc Bolan catalog is cluttered with collections, all recycling much of the same material, it's easy to be suspicious of another hits compilation, such as Hip-0's 2002 release 20th Century Boy: The Ultimate Collection, especially if it's billed as an "ultimate" retrospective. Against all odds, this 23-track disc really is an "ultimate collection," or at least as close as it can possibly get, given the labyrinthine nature of Bolan's catalog.

Given that the T. Rex/Marc Bolan catalog is cluttered with collections, all recycling much of the same material, it's easy to be suspicious of another hits compilation, such as Hip-0's 2002 release 20th Century Boy: The Ultimate Collection, especially if it's billed as an "ultimate" retrospective. Against all odds, this 23-track disc really is an "ultimate collection," or at least as close as it can possibly get, given the labyrinthine nature of Bolan's catalog. What this gets right is that it samples it all, from Tyrannosaurus Rex to Dandy in the Underworld, hitting all the big songs along the way -- "Debora," "One Inch Rock," "Ride a White Swan," "Bang a Gong (Get It On)," "Cosmic Dancer," "Telegram Sam," "The Slider," "Children of the Revolution," "20th Century Boy" -- which is the first time all of these have been on a collection so concise, succinct, and winning. Sure, some may complain about a missing single or album track, but this is a stellar, pitch-perfect compilation, balancing the aforementioned big hits with relatively lesser-known gems like "Raw Ramp" and a cover of "Summertime Blues," resulting in the only single-disc compilation to capture all sides of Marc Bolan and T. Rex. And that means it's not just a necessary introduction, it's also essential for those who already have a bunch of albums, because it puts his career in perspective. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Read Less

Gipsy Kings is the third album by the French Rumba Catalana band Gipsy Kings, which was released in 1987. The album was their first to reach a worldwide audience, going gold across France, the UK, USA and other countries. The US and European versions of this album are identical except in some cases the song order may differ. The Japanese version released in 1995 includes an alternate version of "Vamos A Bailar" from their latest albums. The song "Inspiration" from this album famously appeared in the season five episode of Miami Vice, "World Of Trouble", in June 1988.
