Van Hollen, Brown, Klobuchar Request Support for Women in Research Workforce
Senators Pushing for Action Following New NASEM Committee Report Sheds Light on Negative Impact of COVID-19 on Women Researchers, Faculty
U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) wrote to National Science Foundation (NSF) Director Dr. Sethuraman Panchanathan requesting information on NSF's efforts to support women in faculty and research roles who have been disproportionately affected by the public health and economic crises brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It is essential that we fully understand the impact of COVID-19 on women's workload, reframe what work we deem has merit, and put proportional supports in place to support and keep women in research," wrote the senators.
"We cannot afford to cede ground in the progress we have made in diversifying STEM fields," the senators continued.
A recent committee report studying the impacts of COVID-19 on the careers of women in academic science, engineering, and medicine fields released by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) shows that women researchers experienced a decline in publication as well as an increase in workload and a decrease in productivity.
Van Hollen, Brown, and Klobuchar are joined on their letter by Senators Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.).
Earlier this year, Van Hollen, Brown, and Klobuchar co-sponsored legislation to support early-career researchers whose employment opportunities have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Supporting Early-Career Researchers Act would create a new postdoctoral fellowship program at NSF to prevent the loss of research talent due to job market disruptions caused by the economic decline during and after the pandemic.
The senators' full letter to Director Panchanathan can be found HERE and below:
Dr. Sethuraman Panchanathan
Director, National Science Foundation
2415 Eisenhower Avenue
Dear Dr. Panchanathan:
We are concerned about the negative effects of the public health and economic crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on our nation's research workforce, particularly as it affects women researchers. We write to learn more about any actions the National Science Foundation (NSF) has taken to support faculty and researchers, collect information on the disparate impacts on women in the research workforce, evaluate how the inequities of this pandemic have affected its grant award process, and learn about any additional steps NSF is considering to mitigate these challenges. With the recent release of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) committee report studying the impact of COVID-19 on the careers of women in academic science, engineering, and medicine fields we urge you to address this issue in a timely and ongoing manner to ensure women faculty and researchers are not pushed out of the workforce as they have been in other sectors.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to bear many imbalances in our society. Before the pandemic, women spent an average of over eight hours more on caregiving work than their male counterparts every week.[1] Since COVID-19 school closures, 33 percent of women have been the primary source of childcare compared to only seven percent of men for employed parents.[2] Women took on additional caretaking work during the pandemic and suffered nearly 54 percent of overall job loss since February 2020, with nearly 2.3 million fewer women in the workforce[3] and at least a quarter of women citing caregiving responsibilities as the primary reason for leaving.[4] Further, job losses are disproportionately impacting women of color with unemployment rates for Latinas at 1.6 times, Black women at 1.5 times, and Asian women at 1.4 times higher than white men.
In research and faculty positions, women often take on additional responsibilities in their departments, leaving less time to conduct research and publish than their male counterparts.[5] Women faculty juggle multiple responsibilities, shouldering greater teaching loads, committee participation, mentoring roles, and other service duties often not merited in the same way as research product.[6],[7] With the transition to online coursework and increase in students' needs outside of the classroom, these supplemental roles require an even larger time investment. This work plays an important role in academia and in broadening participation, but is often not valued or even considered in merit-based assessments.
Women researchers, especially those early in their careers, experienced a decline in their share of publications since the start of the pandemic, which may lead to long-term impacts on their careers.6 First authorship among women declined 23 percent compared to publications in the same journal prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.1 Additionally, as a result of the pandemic, women faculty may be conducting less research, participating in fewer collaborations, and have less capacity to engage in professional events.[8] Women make up just 18 percent of tenure/tenure-track faculty in U.S. colleges of engineering,[9] and if left unaddressed, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the research workforce may follow women throughout their careers.
NASEM's report provides initial data that women are experiencing an increased workload and decreased productivity, research hours, authorship status, and conference attendance.[10] Additionally, institutional supports put in place during the public health crisis, including work-from-home policies and extensions, are likely to widen the academic advancement gap for women.10 Any mitigation measures must align with the needs of the most impacted – especially women of color. Due to the limited data available and the ongoing crisis, we urge you to continue studying this issue and put meaningful, corrective measures in place, including a COVID-19 impact statement, extension of deadlines, and flexibility in carryover funds from year to year.4,8,[11] Support for women in the research workforce must be addressed both at the institutional and funding level.
Women are leaving the workforce at disproportionate numbers, largely due to increased caretaking responsibilities across the board – a trend we are seeing broadly in academia, especially in non-tenure track positions.10 Additionally, women in academia incur greater caretaking responsibilities within their departments. It is essential that we fully understand the impact of COVID-19 on women's workload, reframe what work we deem has merit, and put proportional supports in place to support and keep women in research. We request answers to the following questions:
1) What data are NSF – either through the NASEM working group or directly – collecting on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on women, and particularly women of color, researchers? What data are NSF collecting on the impact of researchers at different career stages and positions within research institutions?
a. How will NSF address the findings, incorporate proposed interventions, and disseminate the results of the NASEM working group investigation?
2) Historically, academia loses early career women faculty at disproportionate rates. How has NSF supported the retention of women faculty? What changes, if any, has NSF made as a result of COVID-19 to support the retention of women faculty?
3) The National Science Board is currently revisiting its Broader Impacts criterion. Has the agency considered integrating criteria that value all work and/or options specific to addressing the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic?
a. How can Congress help support these efforts?
4) Has NSF extended deadlines or added optional COVID-19 impact statements to address the toll the pandemic has taken on applicants for program and grant applications?
a. If so, how did NSF decide which programs would be eligible for these measures?
b. How long after the public health crisis has been resolved does the NSF plan to extend any mitigation measures?
5) How does NSF plan to use the research relief funds from the American Rescue Plan? Will any of these funds be used to implement mitigation measures?
6) What percentage of research proposals were submitted by and awarded to women, both prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic? What percentage of research funding dollars were awarded to women, and what was the average amount awarded to women – before and during the COVID-19 pandemic? During these time periods, what was the average amount awarded to men? Please provide all data disaggregated by race/ethnicity.
7) How have best practices to support the research workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic been shared across science funding agencies?
8) What impact has the COVID-19 pandemic had on other undergraduate research opportunities, particularly undergraduate research opportunities geared toward broadening participation for women and underrepresented minorities in STEM within NSF's purview?
9) What can Congress do to help NSF address these issues?
We cannot afford to cede ground in the progress we have made in diversifying STEM fields. We look forward to working with you and your partners across federal science agencies to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our nation's research workforce.

Q: Android Studio suggests wrong version for a depedency I am using Apache Commons-Net, which latest version is 3.6. I get the dependency from the Maven repository, see here. When I get the dependency like this
implementation 'commons-net:commons-net:3.6'

it suggest that there is a new version available 20030805.205232, which is from 2005, see here.
I currently work around this warning using a variable like this
implementation "commons-net:commons-net:$commons_net_version"

and it still suggest the update in the Project: Structure view in Android Studio, just not in the build.gradle file.
How can I disable this warning or, preferably, fix this issue, since it should not suggest a version from 2005 in the first place?

Q: Can't find info on syntax for Dictionary with three parameters in C# I though I knew all the tricks on the map but recently I saw an assignment where the following is listed as a part of unit test. I've looked at SO and DotNetPearls but couldn't see anything that would catch my eye.
var dictionary = new Dictionary
{
  [a] = a,
  [b] = b,
  [c] = c
};

What kind of syntax is it? Where can I find more info about it?
The syntax is from a code that's a test for job application and I'm not allowed to alter it (although I've already found other irregularities there). The question of the test isn't this particular syntax, of course, it's just a test method used to verify that the actual test satisfies the criteria (but on my VS 17 it doesn't even compile).

A: This is the index initializer syntax, introduced in C# 6. It's equivalent to this:
var dictionary = new Dictionary();
dictionary[a] = a;
dictionary[b] = b;
dictionary[c] = c;

but on my VS 17 it doesn't even compile

Probably because Dictionary<TKey, TValue> is a generic class, and in this code the generic type arguments are not specified.

Igniting anti-fraud research via ACFE Foundation
Institute of Fraud Prevention and Foundation merge
By Vincent M. Walden, CFE, CPA; John Warren, J.D., CFE
On March 14, the Institute of Fraud Prevention (IFP) merged with the ACFE Foundation, which expanded the Foundation's mission beyond college scholarships to cutting-edge, anti-fraud research that's accessible to all CFEs. The IFP will now be known as the ACFE Research Institute. ACFE members and other anti-fraud professionals are the beneficiaries.
Why should you keep up with new anti-fraud research? Perhaps you're thinking, "I use tried-and-true fraud examination principles every day in my cases. New research doesn't really affect me. I'll leave all that to the academics."
But the insights that researchers discover now could give you that competitive differentiator when your organization is deciding who to assign to a prime project, help you find that missing link in your current investigation or spark new thinking into your uses of technology.
For example, a team of researchers1 using data from past editions of the ACFE Report to the Nations surveys examined the characteristics of fraud cases in which management overrode internal controls. They found several distinctions between management overrides and other frauds in which victim organizations simply lacked internal controls.
Among the implications of this study is that organizations with strong anti-fraud environments might be more at risk of management override frauds. Boards, auditors and management at these organizations need to carefully focus on the risk of control overrides and look at specific capabilities (skill sets, position, coercion skills, etc.) of those in key management positions.
Now that's information you can use. And there's a lot more where that came from.
Remote but engaged
How do fraud examiners conduct fraud examinations when they often can't meet their team members and subjects in person? These experts — during pandemic constraints — discuss their biggest investigation hurdles, maintaining professional skepticism, best practices, eDiscovery challenges, chain of custody, interviewing constraints and more.
Best defense is a good offense
Use the new Anti-Fraud Playbook, produced by the ACFE and Grant Thornton, to operationalize leading guidance from the ACFE/COSO Fraud Risk Management Guide to help your organization move from theory to practice.
Predication or not?
CFEs discuss how they know when they should devote resources to launch fraud examinations or at least preliminary investigations.

I do not recall a more dramatic silencing of the media in post-SovietRussia. First the editor ofLenta.ru, an independent, online news service, was fired on March 12, the day the news portal received a warning from Roskomnadzor, the Russian state body for media oversight. The warning was about a link in an article Lenta.ru had published about the Ukrainian ultranationalist paramilitary group Right Sektor; the link was to a 2008 interview with one of the group's leaders. Direct evidence that this caused her to be fired may be difficult to unearth, though Lenta.ru's independent editorial policy no doubt had long irritated the authorities.
Then today Roskomnadzor ordered internet providers to block access withinRussiato four more websites that contain content highly critical of the authorities. These includeGrani.ru, which had persistently criticized the prosecution of the Bolotnaya protesters, who demonstrated on the eve of President Vladimir Putin's 2012 inauguration, and kasparov.ru, the website of former chess champion and opposition figure Gary Kasparov,EJ.ru, an opposition opinion portal, and opposition leader Alexei Navalny'sLive Journal page.
The prosecutor's office instructed Roskomnadzor to put the first three of these on a list of websites that allegedly contain banned content and ordered them to be blocked immediately. Navalny's blog platform is being blocked immediately because it allegedly violates the terms of his two-month house arrest, which began on February 28.
Navalny also has a blog on the website Echo of Moscow, for many years the most popular independent news service inRussia. Today Roskomnadzor notified internet providers that Navalny'sblog on EchoofMoscow's website contained banned information. Without waiting for Echo of Moscow to remove the content, several providers began to block access to this anchor of critical reporting inRussia.
Meanwhile,TV Rain, a pro-opposition cable television station, isoff the airwavesand on the brink of bankruptcy due indirectly to a Roskomnadzor warning.
The "Thursday Night Massacre" was made possible by a new law that authorizes the Prosecutor General's Office to instruct Roskomnadzor to orderan internet provider to block websites within 24 hours if they contain "extremist" content, call for mass riots or call for participation in unauthorized public gatherings. There is no need to fuss with a court order, or even inform the website.
The law was adopted quietly in December, just as Putin was sprucing upRussia's image before the Winter Olympics by releasing Mikhail Khodorkovsky and others. That seems like a million years ago.
With Sunday's referendum in Crimea, Russian troops massed for "exercises" onUkraine's eastern border, clashes between pro and anti "Maidan" protesters inDonetsk,Ukraineand anti-Western rhetoric more vicious than I can remember, critics of these alarming events will have almost no platform inRussiato be heard.


In 1997, the City of Rochester introduced a new organization – the Neighborhood Empowerment Team (NET) Office - to focus resources to improve the quality of life in City neighborhoods. NET created six satellite offices throughout the City where code enforcement personnel and police officers work jointly with neighborhood residents to reduce urban blight, nuisance and criminal activities. The City asked CGR to evaluate whether the $8 million spent annually on NET is a cost-effective way to address quality-of-life issues. CGR's report identified problem areas, ranging from vague goals to inconsistent enforcement; spelled out important actions the City should take, including separating code inspection and enforcement functions; and proposed four options that the new City administration could consider for reorganizing the functions currently provided by NET.

What is a first look for me (Maddie Moree)? (Because people view this differently).
For me, a first look is setting up a private moment that you and your fiancé can see each other before the ceremony starts. After you see each other and I capture that, we go around the venue and have bride and groom portraits taken. So when I say a first look, it's not just a 5 minute thing, it's all of your bride and groom portraits that we would take after the first look (about 30-45 minutes). If you've had an engagement session with me, it will be a lot like that but in your wedding clothes.
So based on that, do I, Madison Yen, think first looks are a good idea? Straight up, yes – I do.
Do not get me wrong. I totally understand WHY you want to have a traditional look. Because you want the photos of your groom crying as he sees you walking down the aisle. Don't even play. I KNOW that's why!
It's my job as your photographer to educate you on the pros and cons of each so you can make the most informed decision based on your end goal of photos.
Here's why I think first looks are ideal.
The timeline is so much EASIER.
Why do I say that? When you have a first look, not only do we get those super cute pictures of y'all seeing each other for the first time, we also get all of your couple pictures out of the way AND all of your family formals out of the way! Wooohooo for family formals!
The hardest part about a traditional wedding day timeline is squeezing in the family formals with both bride and groom afterwards and then cute husband-wife shots before the reception. If there is no cocktail hour, you have a very limited time to get those rock-star pictures…say 15 minutes before your guests start freaking out because no one is there to host them (needy things, they are). I also have to remind brides…family formals take a hot minute. You got some old people in your group, and inevitably some wanderers. You have to track them down, "Oh shoot, we lost Aunt Sue. Sally, go find her." "Oh yay, here's Aunt Sue! Wait, where's Sally??" "She went to look for Aunt Sue!!" And the cycle continues.
With a traditional look, we also have to be careful of running late. If we are running late, we have nowhere to make up the time because after the ceremony is already sooooo packed with other photos we have to get!
Which leads me to this point. Creating the timeline.
You have to be realistic when creating your timeline.
All those things add up. Family formals, Bride – Groom shots, travel time. Ugh travel time…the thing people forget to factor in. If your ceremony is in East Memphis, and the reception is downtown…factor in AT LEAST 20 minutes for travel time alone! You do not magically make it there in 5 minutes because you are in a limo.
A new point to the "creating your timeline" section that I wanted to add in. I've had quite a few couples lately insist on doing a traditional look, but didn't really factor in how hot/humid it would be. (Imagine a 50 lb dress in 95 degree weather with 85% humidity.) We live in Memphis, people.
3. All the other stuff.
Aka: You put on your dress and he his tux and then y'all would see each other. MEANING, you both would see each other at your VERY BEST (20 min after putting on your dress)! MEANING, your couples' portraits are when you look the freshest. Super ideal for anyone with a large dress getting married in a hot time of the year…(cough April-October cough).
Meaning your portraits will not occur until 3.5 to 4 hours AFTER putting on your dress. If you decide to do a traditional look, I'm going to insist we factor in a 15 minute break every now and then to give yourself time and permission to go inside, cool down, and freshen up. It's worth it.
Why does family get to go before us??????????? And how are we #7 on the list??
The reason why we do this is because family complains if they have to sit around too long waiting to have their photo taken. Well, "They will just have to wait." Or "They're here for us." But, when you see them there, sweating and waiting (fanning themselves with your ceremony program), you want them to just hurry on up and get their picture taken so they can go to the reception and have a drink. If they are a part of the partial family formals, that is at least a solid hour before the ceremony! So if you factor this in, an hour before + ceremony + however long until it's their turn, they end up sitting around waiting for about 2 hours. And, if you think about it, 2 hours is LONG time for someone to just chill out when they aren't even in the wedding.
How long does all of that stuff after the ceremony take???
That depends. How many pictures do you want? Family formals are family formals. I say, give them 20 minutes depending on how attentive everyone is and how large your family is. Wedding party shots can be as simple as ONE photo of everyone in a line and then it's done! Do you want that or do you want more creative groupings? If you want more creative groupings, then that takes time. Do you have a shot list that you want of your wedding party being goofy and doing x? It's something to think about. Then whatever time we have left of your 45 min -1 hour cocktail hour (or whatever you have planned for your guest) is bride and groom time. Maybe 15 minutes….
Now, yes. We can absolutely make changes to this, and there are always exceptions to the rule. I had one wedding where the ceremony was in the morning and the reception was in the evening. That gave us AMPLE time to get couples portraits before the reception. If family pictures are not priority for you, then there are more options to shorten this. 1. Cut out the extended family shots. 2. We can cut out the partial family pics as well and only get full groupings with you two as a couple. 3. We can also photograph you and your husband first, send everyone off to the reception, and then just have someone round everyone back up when we are ready for photos. (I realllllllllly do not recommend this just for time (rounding everyone up) and appearance (the tie usually comes off, and drinks have been had at this point)).
Ok, so we get it. A first look is definitely my vote…but what are the drawbacks? In my opinion, first looks can be cheesy or feel set up. And depending on the couple, they can be really "whatever" in terms of reaction. You might think that your groom is going to cry a lot, but then he doesn't….The pictures are definitely going to be sweet and more relaxed, but I do agree that the groom reaction when the bride is walking down the aisle is really genuine. There is also this point right after the ceremony where you just have this smile. It's the sweetest smile ever! Before the wedding, you are all nervous, but after the ceremony, you just have a look of elation! It's beautiful, and it's something that we kinda miss in the first look portion of the day because you're not married yet. In an ideal world, I would love to do a first look for about 30 min and schedule another 15 minutes of portraits after the ceremony to get those really amazing "We're married. This is real. Forever starts now." photos.
Also, in terms of scheduling time, a first look timeline takes more time on the front end, meaning the longer your photography coverage will be. I might start 4 hours before the ceremony to get the first look and everything else in, but only 2.5ish hours before the ceremony for a traditional look. Because there are more hours with the first look, you can guarantee that there will also be more photos, which I would consider to be a plus. But if you decide you want an exit to be photographed, that may add on extra hours than your original package includes.
1. Set up feeling. Can have bleh reactions.
2. More photography coverage (Longer wedding day timeline).
In short, I just want to quickly summarize and clarify some of the points you will need to consider with a traditional look.
1. You will have LESS photos in general. Less photos of you two as a couple. Less of wedding party together. Less to none of the cocktail hour photos because your photographer will be taking all of the after ceremony pics.
2. I will suggest adding on a second shooter to your package. They will be able to grab some cocktail hour shots of your guests, and they will be able to add additional angles of any portraits we do afterwards which will give you more of a selection. Additionally, they will be able to get a second angle of your first look at the ceremony.
3. You will need to add in breaks to cool off and freshen up, but also have the mindset of "I feel better. Let's get back out there!" NOT "I'm fresh, but now I'm kinda done taking photos." You will pat yourself on the back later when you have more photos and still look fresh.
4. I HIGHLY recommend a cocktail hour or letting your guests go ahead and eat dinner so they have something to do for about 45 minutes while we are finishing up photos.
Ok, ladies, truth time. I did have a first look, but I have to tell you, it was a tad anti-climactic. I can't really explain why. I think society builds it up SO much. And you see these adorable pictures on Pinterest, and you want that. Sure, my first look was sweet! And my husband cried. And I cried. And the pictures were cute. But it wasn't what everyone built it up to be. Maybe because it was so set up. That's a personal opinion.
But then, when I actually walked down the aisle, everyone was smiling and waving. It totally distracted me from looking at my groom. I'm still glad I had a first look because had I just done a traditional look, I would have missed his reaction completely.
For the ladies who get distracted (like me), a first look may be a stellar option for you (it's kinda like a back-up)! If you miss one, at least you have the other.
I missed the first look at the ceremony, so I'm soooo glad I saw him before hand.
Plus, it was very intimate, so that was nice.
As I wrap this up, I also want to add this in here. Do not think I am against a traditional look. I am totally happy with whatever you choose! This is YOUR wedding, and I'm just happy to be a part of it. I only want you to know what to expect and how to prioritize so there are NO surprises on the wedding day. Like I said, every wedding is different, but this is a good baseline to start when deciding on if a first look will work for you!
Now that I've made my points, what do you think? Feel free to comment if you had a First Look already, or you are thinking about having one! Stay tuned for other wedding/engagement tips. And hey – be a friend and share this with your peeps, AND don't forget to "like" me on Facebook. What else could validate the love other than a like on Facebook? Maybe you could follow me on instagram too! JK…but not really.

here is the next set of quotes
Thread starter painkiller64
I was transplanted to a dark planet where the first germs of creation were
struggling together. From a clay that was still soft rose gigantic palm trees,
poisonous euphorbias and acanthus twined about cactus—the arid forms
of rocks stuck out like skeletons from this sketch of creation, and hideous
reptiles squirmed, enlarged, or grew round in the midst of an inextricable
web of wild vegetation. The pale light of the stars alone illuminated the bluish
distances of this strange horizon; and yet, as the creations were formed,
a more luminous star gathered from them the germs of light.
—Gérard de Nerval, Aurelia (1854), translated by Richard Aldington (1932)
[On the Moon:] He sighed and looked about him. ''This is no world for
men,'' he said. ''And yet in a way—it appeals.''
—H. G.Wells, The First Men in the Moon (1901)
I perceived the moon no longer as a planet from which I most earnestly
desired the means of escape, but as a possible refuge for human destitution.
[. . .] ''We must annex this moon,'' I said. ''There must be no shilly-shally.
This is part of theWhite Man's Burthen.''
I opened my eyes upon a strange and weird landscape. I knew that I was on
Mars; not once did I question either my sanity or my wakefulness.
—Edgar Rice Burroughs, A Princess of Mars (1917)
You and I have drifted to the worlds that reel about the red Arcturus, and
dwelt in the bodies of the insect-philosophers that crawl proudly over the
fourth moon of Jupiter.
—H. P. Lovecraft, ''Beyond the Wall of Sleep'' (1919)
Other memories encroached, cold, fear-etched memories that reached for
him like taloned, withered claws.
Memories of alien lands acrawl with loathesomeness and venom. Strange
planets that were strange not because they were alien, but because of the
abysmal terror in the very souls of them. Memories of shambling things that
triumphed over pitiful peoples whose only crime was they could not fight
—Clifford D. Simak, ''Shadow of Life'' (1943)
There they go, off to Mars, just for the ride, thinking that they will find a
planet like a seer's crystal, in which to read a miraculous future.What they'll
find, instead, is the somewhat shopworn image of themselves. Mars is a
mirror, not a crystal.
—Ray Bradbury, ''A Few Notes on The Martian Chronicles'' (1950)
[First words said on the Moon:] By the grace of God, and the name of the
United States of America, I take possession of this planet on behalf of, and
for the benefit of, all mankind.
—Robert A. Heinlein, Rip von Ronkel, and James O'Hanlon,
Destination Moon (film, 1950)
I knew what it was like to walk on alien soil.
—Leigh Brackett, ''The Woman from Altair'' (1951)
Alien worlds have alien rules, you either learn quickly or not at all.
—Michael Shaara, ''The Holes'' (1954)
It was a fresh young world, Hubert thought sadly; a virgin world, waiting
innocently for the first immigrants to despoil it; waiting, like a young and
tender girl, to be picked up on the stellar street and sold into galactic
prostitution.
—Robert F. Young, ''Report on the Sexual Behavior on Arcturus X'' (1954)
The Lord sure makes some beautiful worlds.
—Cyril Hume, Forbidden Planet (film, 1956)
Every world was a miracle, if your eyes were good enough.
—Chad Oliver, ''NorthWind'' (1956)
They were a vast historical panorama [of Mars], clockwise around the room.
A group of skin-clad savages squatting around a fire. Hunters with bows and
spears, carrying the carcass of an animal slightly like a pig. Nomads riding
long-legged, graceful mounts like hornless deer. Peasants sowing and reaping;
mud-walled hut villages, and cities; processions of priests and warriors;
battles with swords and bows, and with cannon and muskets; galleys, and
ships with sails, and ships without visible means of propulsion, and aircraft.
Changing costumes and weapons and machines and styles of architecture.
A richly fertile landscape, gradually merging into barren deserts and bushlands—
the time of the great planet-wide drought. The Canal Builders—
men with machines recognizable as steam-shovels and derricks, digging and
quarrying and driving across the empty plains with aquaducts [sic]. More
cities—seaports on the shrinking oceans; dwindling, half-deserted cities; an
abandoned city, with four tiny humanoid figures and a thing like a combatcar
in the middle of a brush-grown plaza, they and their vehicle dwarfed by
the huge lifeless buildings around them. [. . .]
''Wonderful!'' von Ohlmhorst was saying. ''The entire history of this race.''
—H. Beam Piper, ''Omnilingual'' (1957)
Poor old Dim kept looking up at the stars and planets and the Luna with his
rot wide open like a kid who'd never viddied any such thing before, and he
''What's on them, I wonder.What would be up there on things like that?''
I nudged him hard, saying: ''Come, gloopy bastard as thou art. Think thou
not on them. There'll be life like down here most likely, with some getting
knifed and others doing the knifing.''
—Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange (1962)
He was at home on those alien worlds, without time, those worlds where
flowers copulate and the stars do battle in the heavens, falling at last to the
ground, bleeding, like so many split and shattered chalices, and the seas part
to reveal stairways leading down, and arms emerge from caverns, waving
torches that flame like liquid faces.
—Roger Zelazny, ''He Who Shapes'' (1965)
He awoke—and wanted Mars. The valleys, he thought, what would it be like
to trudge among them? Great and greater yet; the dream grew as he became
fully conscious, the dream and the yearning.
—Philip K. Dick, ''We Can Remember It for You Wholesale'' (1966)
The grass is always greener under an alien star.
—John DeCles, ''Cruelty'' (1970)
Blossoms opened, flamboyance on firethorn trees, steel-flowers rising blue
from the brok and rainplant that cloaked all hills, shy whiteness of kiss-menever
down in the dales. Flitteries darted among them on iridescent wings; a
crownbuck shook his horns and bugled.
—Poul Anderson, ''The Queen of Air and Darkness'' (1971)
Carry me back to Titan.
That's where I want to be.
I want to repose
On the methane snows
At the edge of a frozen sea.
—Eleanor Arnason, ''The Warlord of Saturn's Moons'' (1974)
Don't you understand, this is the first time I've actually stood on the surface of another planet . . . a whole alien world . . . ! Pity it's such a dump though.
—Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979)
We have labored to produce a planet which, taken as a whole, would obey
the Three Laws of Robotics. It does nothing to harm human beings, either
by commission or omission. It does what we want it to do, as long as we do
not ask it to harm human beings. And it protects itself, except at times and in
places where it must serve us or save us even at the price of harm to itself.
—Isaac Asimov, The Robots of Dawn (1983)
We all want different things from Mars.
—Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars (1992)
page 13 ambition and hope next to copy........
Mark his perfect self-contentment, and hence learn this lesson, that to be selfcontented
is to be vile and ignorant, and that to aspire is better than to be
blindly and impotently happy.
—Edwin A. Abbott, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (1884)
Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should
we be if nobody tried to find out what lies beyond? Have you never wanted
to look beyond the clouds and the stars, or to know what causes the trees
to bud? And what changes the darkness into light? But if you talk like that,
people call you crazy.Well, if I could discover just one of these things, what
eternity is, for example, I wouldn't care if they did think I was crazy.
—Garrett Fort and Francis Edward Faragoh, Frankenstein (film, 1931)
The humans have a curious force they call ambition. It drives them, and,
through them, it drives us. This force which keeps them active, we lack.
Perhaps, in time, we machines will acquire it.
—JohnWyndham, ''The Lost Machine'' (1932)
It was better to live with disappointment and frustration than to live without
—Robert A. Heinlein, ''Waldo'' (1942)
There is a special sadness in achievement, in the knowledge that a longdesired
goal has been attained at last, and that life must now be shaped
toward new ends.

He never gave up his search for the Door into Summer.
—Robert A. Heinlein, The Door into Summer (1956)
Hope clouds observation.
—Frank Herbert, Dune (1965)
After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all,
as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.
—Theodore Sturgeon, ''Amok Time,'' episode of Star Trek (1967)
Why can I never set my heart on a possible thing?
—Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness (1969)
How strange human nature is: confronted with a ladder, man feels compelled
to climb to the very top. It's cold and drafty up there—bad for the health—
and a fall can be fatal. The rungs are slippery. It's a funny thing: you're aware
of the dangers, and you're practically ready to drop from exhaustion, yet you
keep fighting your way up. Regardless of the situation, you keep climbing;
contrary to advice, you keep climbing; despite the resistance of your enemies,
you keep climbing; against your better instincts, your common sense, your
premonitions, you climb, climb, climb. If you don't keep climbing, you fall to
the bottom. That's for sure. But if you do keep climbing, you fall anyway.
—Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky, Prisoners of Power (1969),
translated by Helen Saltz Jacobson (1977)
All her life she had made her own mistakes and her own successes, both
usually by trying what others said she could not do.
—Vonda N. McIntyre, ''Aztecs'' (1977)
Hope is a punishable offense. The verdict is always death; one more death of
the heart.
—Tanith Lee, ''Medra'' (1984)
Your dream is a good one. [. . .] The desire that is the very root of life itself:
To grow until all the space you can see is part of you, under your control.
It's the desire for greatness.
—Orson Scott Card, Speaker for the Dead (1986)
There is that within a man that drives him ever onwards, just as the power of
the seasons drives the roots of flowers into the hard earth; and so he decided,
against his better judgment, to open his eyes and find out what was going to
happen to him next.
—Tom Holt, Ye Gods! (1992)
''He has been positively growing tusks trying to create a breed of human
insect which will continue to live on this accursed planet.''
''Everyone needs a goal.''
—Steve Aylett, Atom (2000)

Frédéric Chopin spent his fifth summer at George Sand's country estate in Nohant in 1844. The time away from Paris gave the composer the necessary creative free space to produce the delicate Berceuse (lullaby) as well as the b minor sonata that year. The former is known for its dreamy, exquisite ambient sound – and yet it still numbers amongst Chopin's most fabricated works. It was originally intended to have the somewhat sober title "Variantes": a sketch shows how Chopin conceived these "Variantes". The genesis and source situation are explored in our revised edition that reflects the latest scholarly findings. A classic with a new look in the Henle catalogue!


Like a lot of ideas, this simple but very adaptable tablesaw sled is a hybrid of several others. I don't know of another sled that is as versatile, accurate, safe, and simple to make. Whether you are making tapered legs or irregularly shaped workpieces of any kind, this sled can do the job.
It's made from a leftover scrap of high-quality plywood with a matrix of holes drilled in it, each counterbored on the bottom to accept T-nuts. The T-nuts accept the 1⁄4-20 threaded rods I use to to create simple hold-downs on top. Underneath, there is a runner made of UHMW plastic sized for the miter slot on my tablesaw. A hardwood runner will also work. Because the sled is made in the usual way—oversize and trimmed with an initial pass on the saw—there is a zero-clearance edge that shows you exactly where the blade will cut. Position the clamps as needed, line up your layout marks with that edge, and make perfect cuts right on the line every time. You can make the sled any size; if you have an outfeed table just make sure you have a clearance slot in it for the long miter-slot runner.
— Bill Lindenfelser, Rochester, N.Y.
You don't really need a runner for this jig. If you have a accurate Biesmeyer fence or one of it's clones (that's accurate). I also use a variation of this jig to square the edges of rough wood or square the edge of plywood.
An excellent jig, which I shall be replicating for use in my shop. In fact, I shall make two, one left hand and one right hand.
I am not familiar with the term "threaded pad". Is that a bolt similar to a carriage bolt?
Thanks for this idea. I don't have a table saw but I think this will work just as well on my band saw.

Status: Currently open to requests for sensitivity reading services. Please read the entire page before submitting a request.
Sensitivity reading is not the same as beta reading. A beta reader is a non-professional reader who offers critique on an unfinished manuscript, on aspects of the craft such as pacing, plot, character development, grammar, sentence structure, etc. I will not be providing any structural feedback of your work.
I am a lifelong reader and have been blogging for the past year. I have come across and read several books with harmful representations of cultures, identities, and experiences, so I would like to offer my expertise gained from my life experiences to ensure that readers are not continually exposed to harmful and hurtful content. Books representing marginalized identities are often at risk, and though not all members of a community or culture might find an aspect of your book problematic, I will do my due diligence to ensure that there aren't glaring misrepresentations in your work.
South Asia, South Asian/diasporic characters, specifically India and Indian/diasporic characters.
Indian history, politics, culture, and social issues.
Hindu practices, traditions, festivals, mythology, etc. Generally Christianity, Islam, Sikhism and other religions as practiced in India.
Languages: Tamil (spoken and written), Hindi (spoken and written), Sanskrit (written). Including multilingualism and code-switching with English.
Immigrant and expatriate experiences (any generation).
Mental illness, specifically depression and anxiety, neurodiversity/disability from a caregiver/professional POV.
Chronic pain and chronic illness (specifically PCOS).
Fat characters and fat positivity.
LGBTQIA+ representation, specifically gray/sapio/demi-ace, bi/pan/gray-aro, sexually fluid and genderfluid characters. Including characters that are still in the closet/not fully out/out to very specific audiences.
Characters with complex relationships with parents and siblings.
Graduate school experiences in the US as an International student.
In addition to these specific areas, I can do a general sensitivity reading for harmful content like ableism, classism, sexism, misogyny, colorism, Islamophobia, anti-blackness (specifically in the South Asian community), etc. However, these will be solely from my perspective and not necessarily always from first-hand experiences. After receiving your request, we can discuss what specific elements I am comfortable providing feedback on and those for which I would suggest another sensitivity reader.
Adult fiction: Literary fiction, historical fiction, urban fantasy, science fiction, magical realism, contemporary, humor, romance, and erotica.
YA/NA fiction: urban fantasy, science fiction, contemporary, romance, magical realism.
I do not guarantee the acceptance of every request. If I choose to reject your manuscript, I will provide you with the reason for my decision. A rejection is not a personal bias against you or your work.
Once I accept your manuscript, we will discuss pricing and payment options and come to an agreement, upon which I will sign a non-disclosure agreement you provide that comply with the terms and conditions listed below.
I will require at least 10 days to read your manuscript. I will read every word of your manuscript at least once, and provide a 1-3 page report with feedback on all the issues I noticed with quotations and explanations, as well as suggestions for how to fix it.

Kuafu Properties
Kuafu Properties is a privately held real estate development and investment company. Co-founded in 2013 by Zengliang Shan and Shang Dai, the firm markets itself as a bridge between Asian investors abroad and the U.S. real estate market. The firm was born out of the Hudson Yards development, where Kuafu had a hand in building the Hudson Rise hotel and condominium. The Hudson Yards project proved to be a bit troublesome for Kuafu, as it became deadlocked in a lawsuit with partner Siras Development over the plans and their respective roles in the tower. At the time Kuafu was dubbed by some publications as a mystery developer, but in the years since it has built up and down Manhattan, including East 86th Street and a mixed-use building at 1289 Lexington Avenue, taking advantage of the influx of Chinese investors. The firm has also built the MiMa condos on West 42nd Street, which focused on midpriced units instead of luxury, high-end units.

A strong test to open the Tucson Nine at over 400 yards with out of bounds left and a grove of trees to the right of the fairway. Par is an excellent score.
A long Par 3 with out of bounds just left of the green and a large hill to the right side of the green. The best shot is to play to the front edge of the green.
The third of three strong holes to start this nine. The dogleg left par 5 plays uphill to a green which is not visible from the fairway. Players should choose their layup carefully to leave a full shot into the green.
The signature hole on the Tucson Course is a medium length par 4 requiring a 200 yard tee shot over water from the back tees. Stunning views of the Santa Catalina Mountain range await players from the tee box. A short iron second shot played into a green sloping severely from left to right will leave most players with an uphill chance at birdie.
A deceptively long par 4, the tee shot must carry a ridge 220 yards from the back tee or players are faced with a blind second shot. Take note of the slope of the hole running from left to right as players may run the ball onto the green for a good chance for birdie.
A mid-length par 5 reachable in two for long hitters. Most players will hit a tee shot just short of the fairway bunker leaving a decision on how close to play to the green on the 2nd shot. The two tiered green sits elevated from the fairway and slopes from right to left and front to back.
A downhill par 4 which plays uphill on the 2nd shot to a relatively flat green. Their is a flat area in the fairway approximately 100-125 yards from the green requiring players to make the proper club selection off the tee. This is a good birdie opportunity.
The second of two tough par 3 holes on this course. The tee shot is played uphill to a large green guarded by 3 bunkers on the right and a mound on the left side of the green. Choosing the proper club is difficult and it is recommend that players play to the middle of the green for all pin locations.
A strong finish to this course, #9 plays over 400 yards from the back tee. Players who can carry the ball 250 yards will be rewarded with a forward bounce off the ridge which bi-sects the fairway. The second shot is played to a two tiered green sloping sharply from front to back. Proper club selection on the 2nd shot is critical to avoid 3 putt potential. Par is an excellent score on this hole.

BACKGROUND: Bacterial pneumonia is a well described complication of influenza. In recent years, community-onset methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (cMRSA) infection has emerged as a contributor to morbidity and mortality in patients with influenza. Since the emergence and rapid dissemination of pandemic A(H1N1)2009 influenzavirus in April 2009, initial descriptions of the clinical features of patients hospitalized with pneumonia have contained few details of patients with bacterial co-infection.
METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by co-infection with pandemic A(H1N1)2009 influenzavirus and cMRSA were prospectively identified at two tertiary hospitals in one Australian city during July to September 2009, the period of intense influenza activity in our region. Detailed characterization of the cMRSA isolates was performed. 252 patients with pandemic A(H1N1)2009 influenzavirus infection were admitted at the two sites during the period of study. Three cases of CAP due to pandemic A(H1N1)2009/cMRSA co-infection were identified. The clinical features of these patients were typical of those with S. aureus co-infection or sequential infection following influenza. The 3 patients received appropriate empiric therapy for influenza, but inappropriate empiric therapy for cMRSA infection; all 3 survived. In addition, 2 fatal cases of CAP caused by pandemic A(H1N1)2009/cMRSA co-infection were identified on post-mortem examination. The cMRSA infections were caused by three different cMRSA clones, only one of which contained genes for Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL).
CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Clinicians managing patients with pandemic A(H1N1)2009 influenzavirus infection should be alert to the possibility of co-infection or sequential infection with virulent, antimicrobial-resistant bacterial pathogens such as cMRSA. PVL toxin is not necessary for the development of cMRSA pneumonia in the setting of pandemic A( H1N1) 2009 influenzavirus co-infection.

"The Dark World" follows on from the events of Thor. Bor, the father of Odin (Anthony Hopkins) who is the father of Thor (Chris Hemsworth), long ago fought the Dark Elf Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) who sought to destroy the universe using a weapon known as the "Aether". Having won the battle with Malekith Bor sends the Aether to where it can never be found…until now when the alignment or "convergence" of worlds means travel between the realms becomes much simpler. As a result of this convergence Thor's earthly heart-throb Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) slips through a portal and is infected with the essence of the Aether. Jane begins to show the effects of the infection which appears to give her great powers. The use of these powers reawakens Malekith (yes, not dead but just sleeping) who then strikes out for Asgard where Thor now protects Jane to retrieve the Aether. It is only with the help of his brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), currently in Asgard's prison, that Thor can defeat Malekith but will it be enough and, more importantly, can he trust Loki?
Another amazing instalment in the Marvel superhero universe as we see the sheer scale of these films unfold on the screen often threatening to overwhelm the senses. The action pieces are tremendous and, often, fun, such as the large-scale destruction of places not only in Asgard but also in London (will never be able to see Greenwich the same again…). The story has a good number of twists and turns but is never too difficult to follow with the initial back-story section covering Bor's defeat of Malekith. There are some shocks here and there will be a price to be paid if Malekith is to be defeated. This price will hit very close to home for Thor.
Hemsworth is, of course, his charming self and brings a bit of humanity to his god character and continuing his obsession with the human Jane much to the consternation of his father. Thor never seems to take things too seriously though in this film he matures and begins to understand his place in the universe as well as what he truly wants. Portman is well placed here with a role quite a bit beyond simply being Thor's girlfriend. Her quips and sass as Jane offer a good amount of levity to the otherwise quite serious events. Hopkins, as always, is suitably impressive as Odin who is shown here with a touch of humanity in his love of his family and offering advice to his son.
The effects are, as always, incredible with a lot to see on the screen. Perhaps sometimes a bit too much in trying to understand what exactly is going on though (director) Taylor does do a good job of zooming into the characters so we are not entirely lost. The fantastic elements are truly fantastic and we see a lot more of Asgard.

And him shall heavenly arms enfold,???? Flesh-and-blood is weak and frail, Susceptible to nervous shock; While the True Church can never fail For it is based upon a rock. He shall be washed as white as snow, By all the martyr'd virgins kiss, While the True Church remains below Wrapt in the old miasmal mist. The hippopotamus cannot reach the mango up on the mango-tree, but the Church can dine on exotic fruits from overseas because of its vast imperial power and its colonisation of other lands. Further, the use of the phrase 'never fail' implies that the speaker believes the Church to be infallible. Eliot: Poems The Hippopotamus Similiter et omnes revereantur Diaconos, ut mandatum Jesu Christi; et Episcopum, ut Jesum Christum, existentem filium Patris; Presbyteros autem, ut concilium Dei et conjunctionem Apostolorum. And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans.
Eliot uses religious and desert symbolism, biblical and literary allusions, repetition, parody and deliberately sparse, controlled language to convey the themes of the poem. The hippopotamus's day Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts; God works in a mysterious way-- The Church can sleep and feed at once. The first line talks about a man who is dead. Christum, existentem filium Patris; Presbyteros?????? Flesh and blood is weak and frail, Susceptible to nervous shock; While the True Church can never fail For it is based upon a rock. No man-made entity, including a church, can absolutely be without imperfection.
In-text Notes are keyed to line numbers. And when this epistle is read among you, cause?????? He had written a total of 68 poems, dramas, etc. He shall be washed as white as snow, By all the martyr'd virgins kist, While the True Church remains below Wrapt in the old miasmal mist. Blood of the Lamb shall wash him clean And him shall heavenly arms enfold, Among the saints he shall be seen Performing on a harp of gold. For it is based upon a rock. Overt Christian themes dominate this poem, which I think is what gives it beauty.
Flesh-and-blood is weak and frail, Susceptible to nervous shock; While the True Church can never fail For it is based upon a rock. Thanks to Linda Corman Trinity College Library for her warm support of the Representative Poetry On-line project and Wally Brooker University of Toronto Press for granting publication permission of materials originally printed by the Press from 1912 to 1967. Flesh and blood is weak and frail, Susceptible to nervous shock; While the True Church can never fail For it is based upon a rock. Conversely, the Church is always receiving money from its parishioners. Flesh-and-blood is weak and frail,???? These emotions are seen through the use of metaphor, which is a direct comparison between two objects or ideas. God works in a mysterious way-???? The voices projected in the T. Similiter et omnes revereantur Diaconos, ut mandatum Jesu Christi; et Episcopum, ut Jesum Christum, existentem filium Patris; Presbyteros autem, ut concilium Dei et conjunctionem Apostolorum.
The Hippopotamus is another poem by T. The hippo's feeble steps may err In compassing material ends, While the True Church need never stir To gather in its dividends. Je suis comme l'hippopotame: De ma conviction couvert, Forte armure que rien n'entame, Je vais sans peur par le désert. At mating time the hippo's voice Betrays inliexions hoarse and odd, But every week we hear rejoice The Church, at being one with God. Le boa se déroule et siffle, Le tigre fait son hurlement, Le buffle en colère renifle, Lui dort ou paît tranquillement. I saw the 'potamus take wing Ascending from the damp savannas, And quiring angels round him sing The praise of God, in loud hosannas.

Blood of the Lamb shall wash him clean And him shall heavenly arms enfold, Among the saints he shall be seen Performing on a harp of gold. This idea of Dante's may have been the inspiration for this poem.
If you do evil things in your life, you will go to the inferno, but at least you are going somewhere. He shall be washed as white as snow, By all the martyr'd virgins kist, 35 While the True Church remains below 36 Wrapt in the old miasmal mist. I really enjoyed reading this poem, and trying to figure it out. Sine his Ecclesia non vocatur; de quibus suadeo vos sic habeo. Blood of the Lamb shall wash him clean And him shall heavenly arms enfold, Among the saints he shall be seen Performing on a harp of gold. Eliot asserts doubts about the institution of the Church and its apparent corruption resulting from its basis in a tainted world.
E546 A753 1920a Fisher Rare Book Library. Eliot is likely implying that people who strive to be good individuals retain the possibility of going to Heaven when they die, while the Church and its corrupt leaders will forever be tied to the shallow materialism of this world. At mating time the hippo's voice Betrays inflexions hoarse and odd, But every week we hear rejoice The Church, at being one with God. They are critical of those not a part of their religion, and are constantly judging and comparing them to themselves. If you do good things, you go to paradise.
Sine his Ecclesia non vocatur; de quibus suadeo vos sic habeo. The end of The Hollow Men can only be the beginning of a deep and long reflection for thoughtful readers. Flesh-and-blood is weak and frail, Susceptible to nervous shock; While the True Church can never fail For it is based upon a rock. Southam suggests that Eliot saw a private joke here. The hippopotamus's day Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts; God works in a mysterious way-- The Church can sleep and feed at once. Ultimately, Eliot subtly implies that all people can be better than the Church by focusing on morally righteous pursuits.
Flesh-and-blood is weak and frail, Susceptible to nervous shock; While the True Church can never fail For it is based upon a rock. A brilliant piece of satire with some unpleasant truth in the background. I saw the 'potamus take wing Ascending from the damp savannas, And quiring angels round him sing The praise of God, in loud hosannas. The hippo's feeble steps may err In compassing material ends, While the True Church need never stir To gather in its dividends. Jesus is called a lamb because his New Testament life and death was believed to have been prefigured by God's sending of a ram a male sheep for Abraham to sacrifice instead of his son Isaac.
