Hands-on with Surface Hub: Microsoft's huge tablet has some productivity holes
We expected to see Cortana and more multitasking features, but Microsoft says some of the limitations are by design.
For $21,999, I expected a little more from Microsoft's new Surface Hub.
Don't get me wrong: the Hub's 84-inch 4K touchscreen, flanked by a pair of eye-height, 1080p cameras, videoconferencing, and full Windows 10 capabilities—all makes for one very impressive package, especially when it dominates one wall of a room. Heck, it practically is the wall.
Microsoft's Surface Hub is, in a word, enormous.
But what Microsoft executives called "version 1.0" of the Surface Hub lacks capabilities I can't help but think most customers would expect. There's no co-inking. Presentations can be saved, but just as a final image—you can't save audio or a "recording" of the collaboration. Cortana is absent. You can use Windows 10's nifty "snap" feature to shift windows across the screen, but only two can be shown at a time.
None of these may be deal-breakers, but the Hub's spartan capabilities made me question how mature the Hub's productivity argument is, 15 months after Microsoft first began showing it in Redmond. (The Surface Hub began shipping just before I saw it last week at Microsoft Build in San Francisco.) What Microsoft executives made clear, however, was that some of the omissions were deliberate.
The Surface Hub is not a larger Surface tablet
It helps to avoid thinking of the Surface Hub as the big brother of Surface tablets, because it's not. The Surface Hub is a communal device, not a personal one. Designed for collaboration and communication, it entirely lacks persistent local storage. Previously, Microsoft said its integrated cameras could recognize you; that's not the case now. When you walk in, the Hub is a blank slate that's ready and waiting for your team to use, and when you leave, the Hub wipes itself clean.
A closeup of the interface. When you logout or the meeting ends, the Surface Hub wipes itself with a ten-second countdown, then it resets for the next user.
In fact, those are exactly the capabilities that the Hub highlights when you walk in, with a very Bing-like login screen that shows off a clock and three apps: Call, Whiteboard, and Connect. Not surprisingly, they repurpose familiar Office apps: Skype for Business, OneNote, and the ability to connect a secondary display. You can also connect to the Microsoft Store and download any other UWP apps your administrator has approved, if you need to supplement those basic applications.
Looking into the Hub is like looking into a window.
A word about the hardware: The $21,999 84-inch model I saw measures 46.12 x 86.7 x 4.15 inches, and weighs a whopping 280 pounds. Inside is an entire PC: a 4th-gen Core i7 chip (yes, you read that right, it's Haswell) with workstation-class Nvidia Quadro K2200 graphics powering the 120Hz, 4K (3840x2160) display, a 128GB SSD, and 8GB of RAM. (The smaller $8,999 55-inch model is only 1080p, with a 4th-gen Core i5 inside, but that's still a decent amount of horsepower at your disposal.) Connectivity includes ethernet, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, and Miracast. The latter is important, as it's apparently the only way to connect wirelessly to the display.
The Surface Hub cameras perch on either side of the display.
Of note are the two 1080p wide-angle cameras flanking the display, at eye height. Microsoft executives played these up, and for good reason: When videoconferencing, the high position of the cameras gives the illusion that you're speaking eye-to-eye with the person on the other side of the screen. Add the cameras' 100-degree field of view to the massive display and result is almost 1:1 perspective: You can look at a room of people on the display, and they look properly sized. The Surface Hub becomes less like a videoconferencing device and more like, well, a window.
Collaboration shortcomings
Still, the message I received regarding the Surface Hub is that it will operate best when every member is in the room. If you happened to be stuck in traffic or working at home, you're going to have a more difficult time.
Calling another person or conference room via the Hub appears to work smoothly, as you might expect, and the image dominates the screen. While it's not clear exactly how many other parties you can call, Microsoft tells me that you can connect up to 250 people, consistent with the number you can connect to Skype for Business. Microsoft also says that you can connect your laptop to the Hub via the Connect app, then share your screen via Call.
Videoconferencing on the Surface Hub tucks the window in the corner of the screen, delegating the rest of it to the whiteboard and other apps.
Given that you can snap only two apps—with 84 inches of screen space, this seems a little stingy—you're limited to just a few onscreen activities at any one time. (Placing a call seems to be allowed at any time and effectively serves as a third window.) This keeps teams focused, though it limits what can be done with the Surface Hub at any one time.
One of those activities is the Whiteboard app, which allows for three people to ink on the screen at any one time. The Hub ships with a pair of pens, holstered on either side. Once you remove a pen from the holster, Whiteboard launches. Icons appear on the bottom of the screen so you can choose ink color, among other pen options. Unlike the Surface Pen, there are no other buttons on the Surface Hub pen, though you can "erase" by flipping it over. You won't find any fancy icons, brush motifs, or digital stickers in Whiteboard; each pen has a choice of what appears to be five colors, and there's a lasso tool for moving digital ink around on the page.
Because the Hub supports 100-point touch, a number of hands can be on the board at any one time. Naturally, pinch and zoom gestures are supported, and the Whiteboard app is an "infinite canvas," so you can just keep drawing forever.
The Surface Hub's whiteboard app has basic inking capabilities: a choice of several colors, and a lasso for moving text selections.
Whiteboard comes up a bit short when compared with OneNote, however. You can't record the process of digital inking to see exactly how an idea evolved, as some digital whiteboards do. The end result (either a PNG file or a OneNote document) is more like a cave painting that can be emailed to remote workers. Audio isn't recorded via the Whiteboard app, either.
A workaround, however, comes in the form of the Connect app, which allows anyone in the room to connect wirelessly to the Hub and control it. One interesting twist is that you don't need to hold your Surface (or a Lumia phone) in your hand to drive your presentation. Instead, the Hub lets you "drive from the front," remotely controlling your laptop and any files you have stored in it. Other users can't co-ink your presentation, though, unless you drag an image from it into the Whiteboard app. You'll also have to pull a co-inked image back into your presentation manually.
There's a simplfied version of the Start menu on the Surface Hub.
Cortana's absence was a deliberate choice. Greg Sullivan, a director in the devices group at Microsoft, said that Cortana was a "personal experience," and Microsoft hadn't decided whether to make a version of Cortana into something like a group admin.
Mixing 360-degree video with a telestrator app may not seem like the ideal use for the Surface Hub, but it works.
Because the Surface Hub is a communal resource, expect the Windows Store to be locked down to what your IT department allows. Sullivan and other executives showed off a Siemens app that translated digital inking into straight lines, part of the process of sketching out the basics of a 3D object.
Don't expect to buy Microsoft's Surface Hub yourself, either. The $8,999 55-inch version and $21,999 84-inch version are designed to replace the whiteboard and videoconferencing system currently found in conference rooms where teams meet.
Chances are, however, that you will not be playing Halo after hours directly on the Surface Hub. Unless you sneak in your Xbox One into work, that is.


Cuba: Campo Adentro, Photographs by Susan S. Bank.
Published by Sagamore Press, 2008.
Sagamore Press, 2008. Hardbound. 84pp., 48 black & white illustrations, 10-1/2x10-1/4".
I often contend that if you have never thought much about photographs, it can be hard to appreciate the art of photography with only one image in front of you. On screen or in print form, the art becomes more apparent when multiple expressions are at hand; the photographer's myriad choices embody the medium's singular, creative heart and distinguish one photo from another.
Looking at just one photography book, then looking at several, can prompt a similar effect. In the case of a complex socio-political phenomenon like late-Fidel Castro Cuba, the pictorial possibilities are many, and the seductions of the subject are rampant, tending to overwhelm the suggestible many. Familiar tropes abound, and one might be disappointed to arrive in Havana and not immediately be greeted by cold Cuba Libres, quaintly dilapidated vehicles, high-quality cigars, and musical cousins of the Buena Vista Social Club. Still, given all the photographers who've visited the island, there must be some variation within the published record. I'll say more about this in one of the other two Cuba-related books I'm covering in a three-part essay.
Cuba: Campo Adentro, by Susan S. Bank. Published by Sagamore Press, 2008.
I am beginning with what I feel is the most successful of the three volumes, the one that appeals to this total outsider (haven't been closer than ninety miles to Cuba) - Cuba: Campo Adentro, with photographs by Susan Sweetser Bank and an essay by Juan Antonio Molina (2008). One could be excused for feeling a bit "off the island" in Susan Bank's book. Its title translates roughly to "Cuba in the field;" what Bank shows is not conventionally picturesque Cuba, and it distinguishes itself from many other currently in-press titles on this basis alone. And it is all the more gratifying for this.
These photographs operate without preconceptions. Bank's handheld, immersive, black-and-white approach acquaints us with agricultural lives in a setting more reminiscent of Hale County (Alabama, a la Evans and James Agee), than downtown Havana; appropriately, she discovered this territory in 2002 when she sought and found a weekend retreat about 100 miles west of the capital city. This Cuba compares favorably with 1930s mid-America in the eyes and lenses of Evans, Dorothea Lange, Arthur Rothstein, John Vachon, and others.


As of Thursday night, 96 games have been reported in the Self Paired Tournament at the US Go Congress. Jeff Horn (right) seems to be making a pretty serious run at sweeping a number of the categories, leading in four of the seven categories, while Miyoka Miyama is leading or tied in two. Many other players are only one or two games behind the leaders, reports TD John Hogan.
All game results must be turned in by 12 noon on Saturday.


Much of the art below is a collaboration between me and fellow Senior Environment Artist, Stephen Ratter with the guidance of Art Director, Richard Smith. I worked on the majority of the game levels and in many areas was responsible for the early level design, from block out to final modeling, lighting and texturing. I was also responsible for ensuring all characters and character assets had proper PBR materials.

The holidays can be a mixed-bag for some people when it comes to happiness. Many of us tend to look forward to this time of year, but can often feel overwhelmed when it comes. Here are three quick (and science-based!) ways to make the holiday season happier–and less overwhelming–this year.
#1: Create a giving trifecta.
A mountain of research shows that giving to others — particularly those in need — makes us happier, so I'm always looking for ways to buy my holiday gifts from retailers that donate money to causes I believe in. For example, this year I'm going to purchase gifts through the AmazonSmile program using my Chase Freedom card. This creates a giving trifecta: First, I get a gift for someone on my Christmas list; second, AmazonSmile donates a percentage of my purchase to a charity I love (the Tipping Point Community, a local non-profit that fights poverty); and third, I'll donate the 5% cash back I earn when using my Chase Freedom card to Tipping Point.
#2: Let the little things go.
This is a busy time of year, and something's got to give. Let it be the little things. Even though I prefer homemade meals, I become very dependent on inexpensive prepared foods from Trader Joe's at this time of year. And I've stopped being such a perfectionist when it comes to gift giving; although I'd prefer to exquisitely wrap each gift in handmade paper, I get hives just thinking about having to wait in line at the post office to mail those gifts. This year I'm letting Amazon.com do my shipping and wrapping (see tip #1)!
#3: Put your to-do list on your calendar.
One of the things that can detract from our happiness is our extra-long long task-list. Researchers used to think that worry about unfinished tasks was our unconscious mind trying to help us get things done by reminding us of what we still needed to do.
Want more holiday happiness tips? Join us Tuesday at 5:00pm Pacific Time for a fun little twitter chat sponsored by BlogHer and Chase Freedom — Follow along with #HolidayHappinessBH.

Pursuing a career in psychology can be challenging, and rightfully so, due to the high amount of responsibility and trust we place with individuals who care for our mental and physical health. For those who reach their goal of becoming a psychologist, there are real advantages and rewards to enjoy. For one, in 2010, psychologists earned a median salary of $68,640, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition, research shows that psychology jobs are expected to grow by 22 percent from 2010 to 2020, which is faster than average for all other occupations.
When you make the decision to pursue a career in psychology, you are committing yourself to several years of schooling, internships, and exams at every level to achieve your goal. Unlike industries such as financial services and marketing, where employees may come from any kind of educational background, a career in psychology requires specialization in a chosen field, and a focused curriculum throughout your time in school. That said, there are a few different degree paths an aspiring psychologist may choose from in order to acquire those skills. Individuals with no post-secondary (college) credits, will begin by entering a associate's degree program in psychology (A.A), or a bachelor degree program (B.S) in psychology. These programs will provide individuals with the prerequisite education they need to enter the field of psychology at an introductory level, and provide them with the academic foundation needed to ascend to more advanced levels within the field. After completing a bachelor degree program, the most common path is to earn a master's degree in psychology (M.S), and to work in real-world situations under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. Completion of a master's degree will allow individuals to continue work in the field of psychology, albeit under the supervision of someone with more experience and training. All individuals who hope to work independently in the field as a licensed psychologist are required to earn a doctorate level degree (PhD) in psychology. Completion of a doctorate level degree is mandatory in all states to earn the designation "psychologist", and is the highest level of academic achievement in the field.
Getting started along the right educational path is important and can be challenging for anyone without the proper resources and guidance. Read below for detailed information about each degree path, and navigate through our site to learn more about the education options available to you. We also provide information on a wide array of careers, so you can start by identifying the career you would like to pursue, and then research the education you will need to achieve your goals. The point of this is to help you make an informed decision, so that you can get your psychology career underway as quickly as possible.
Earning Your Associate Degree in Psychology
In the past 15 years, associate's degrees have become an increasingly common education option for students hoping to improve their job prospects. Remarkably, no associate's degree in any subject has seen a larger rise in popularity than Psychology. According to the National Study for Education Statistics, 1,600 associate's degrees in Psychology were awarded in 1998-99. By 2008-09, 3,900 associate's degrees in Psychology were awarded to students, which represents a 143 percent increase in just 10 years. What this shows is that not only are associate's degrees on the rise, but the subject of Psychology is also increasing in popularity . Like with any subject, an associate's degree in Psychology is most commonly offered at local community colleges because it usually only requires two years of coursework to complete. On its own, an associate's degree in psychology serves as a stepping stone to a higher education. Most students earn their associate's degree and then use it to apply to a four-year university and pursue their bachelor's degree in the subject.
Receive Information from the Popular Psychology Associate Degree Program Below:
If you can only earn an associate's degree for whatever reason, there are still options available to you. For starters, the U.S. Government offers low entry requirements for entry-level psychology careers that may be ideal for someone with an associate's degree. Low entry requirements also means a larger pool of applicants, so expect to encounter stiff competition for these positions. Also, time spent learning the basic principles of psychology will provide students with critical thinking and organizational skills that will make them more appealing for entry-level positions in potentially any industry. There are a large number of jobs where these skills are valued, such as a counseling assistant, psychologist assistant or nursing home aide, in addition to positions in a customer service, human resources, or marketing role.
Earning Your Bachelor's Degree in Psychology
By now you have probably heard at least a few disparaging remarks about what sort of career options you are presented with when you earn a bachelor's degree in Psychology. Many believe the degree has few practical applications in the real world, but those people don't know the whole story. Considered the No. 2 college major by The Princeton Review, a bachelor's degree in Psychology is very popular and opens doors to a number of different career paths, both in and outside of the field. In 2008, 5.1 percent of incoming freshmen chose Psychology as their major, according to the Cooperative Institutional Research Program's Freshman Survey, and in that same year, the NCES reported that 92,587 students graduated with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. That popularity means that almost every major institution in the country has a Psychology program taught by experienced and talented instructors.

If you are interested in pursuing a bachelor's degree we suggest learning more about the colleges in your area. Below we list some of the more popular online and campus schools in the U.S. for psychology. The links will provide you with forms where you can request information directly from schools, who can answer questions regarding tuition, coursework, financial aid and enrollment dates:
The Bachelor degree requires four years to complete, and students can usually choose between a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree in the subject depending on which type of psychology they specialized in. Some who earn the degree decide to pursue careers in other fields thanks to the field's relatively modest entry-level salary, but for those who stick it out, the decision can be quite rewarding. Chances are, if you majored in Psychology, you had some idea that you wanted to use what you learned to work with and help people, so you are in luck. Social worker, psychiatric technician, market researcher, rehabilitation specialist, career counselor, and case managers are just some of the popular positions that are perfect for entry-level psychologists with a freshly-earned degree. Not only do these positions offer the chance to work with and help people in need, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics shows that these positions also offer competitive salaries that offer recent graduates financial security to start their career.
Earning Your Master's Degree in Psychology
If you have made it to the point where you are considering a master's degree in Psychology, then you are very serious about becoming trained and licensed as a professional . These programs aren't for individuals who have a casual interest in psychology. Psychology graduate programs are very competitive and are a prerequisite, if you intend to become a school psychologist, behavioral counselor, child protection worker, drug specialist, or social services manager.
After you earn your bachelor's degree, you can expect to spend another two or three years at school before you can earn your Master's degree and like Bachelor's degrees, you can choose between a Master of Arts or Master of Sciences. If you are interested in psychology but decided to major in something else as an undergraduate not all is lost. Most Master's degree programs do not require the specific undergraduate major in psychology, but they will expected to see some completed introductory coursework in crucial subjects like experimental psychology and statistics.
The most commonly studied types of psychology for Master's degrees are clinical psychology, counseling psychology and industrial/organizational psychology. This is the level where there will really be a large focus on research, research methods, and statistics.

As mentioned earlier, a master's degree in psychology will open doors to better job prospects and provide you with skills that will help you in any industry. In addition to all the jobs mentioned above, a master's degree will also allow you to practice psychology in many different fields, albeit usually under the supervision of someone with a more advanced degree. This is why most individuals who earn their master's degree eventually decide to pursue doctoral degree (PhD), which will allow them to practice psychology independently in most states.

Earning Your Doctoral Degree in Psychology
A doctoral degree (PhD) is the most advanced degree you can earn in the field of psychology. This degree is commonly pursued by individuals who wish to become a clinical, counseling, or research psychologist, to name a few.
A doctoral degree is the minimum education requirement for licensure in nearly every state in the U.S. and will allow you to practice independently and to call yourself a psychologist. The Ph.D. in psychology is a research-intensive program that will take 2-4 years to complete depending on the field of specialization and aptitude of the student. The program will also require a dissertation based on your area of specialization and a one-year internship when in clinical programs.. According to the American Psychological Association, enrollment in an accredited doctoral program is required for entrance into APA sponsored student-internship programs.
Students enrolled in a psychology doctoral program will learn advanced concepts critical to the practice of psychology, and immerse themselves in real world situations that will prepare them for independent practice. Upon completion of the degree, students will be poised to take the final steps to become a licensed psychologist, and will have built an impressive academic foundation. If you aspire to be a clinical or counseling psychologist, and wish to open your own practice in counseling or psychotherapy, your career path will lead you to a doctoral degree.

Choosing the right doctoral program can be another challenge. Luckily, there is so much information readily available on the Internet; it will be hard to make an uninformed decision. For starters, the U.S. World News and Report published a list of the top psychology graduate schools in 2009. If that isn't enough to convince you the extra schooling is worth it, then consider that a 2009 Employment Survey from the American Psychological Association's Center for Workforce Studies found that 72 percent of psychologists who earned their doctorates in that year got their top choice when looking for a job. In addition, 73 percent said they were employed within three months of receiving their degree. For those who are concerned about the salaries of psychologists, the highest paid and greatest range of jobs in psychology are available to those with doctorates in psychology. Unemployment levels remain below those noted for other scientists and engineers and few leave the field.

5 fears holding business leaders back, and how to overcome them
08 August 2018 - 11:58 AM
There are many fears that come with being a business leader. But how do you manage them? Human behaviour expert Dr John Demartini provides his tips.
Fear is a psychological barrier for many business leaders which can prevent them from taking the risks they need to be successful.
However, it can also be used for greater self-evaluation.
Entrepreneur and leading human behaviour expert Dr John Demartini says, "Fear means you're growing and challenging yourself beyond your comfort zones. Your fear is a feedback response to ensure you set more congruent and inspiring objectives."
For business leaders to overcome their fears and move forward, John says they must first 'own' and recognise the nature of their doubts and fears.
Dr John Demartini
"Acknowledging your fears and their underlying fantasies can, at times, be wise, but it is even wiser to self-reflect, introspect and master the skill of strategically planning and refining goals and objectives to where you know exactly what to do in potential circumstances," he tells The CEO Magazine.
John further identifies the benefits that come with setting aside fear and instead focusing on your main goals.
"Each of us live with and by a unique set of values, priorities or actions that are most to least important to our lives," he says. "When we live in alignment or congruently with our true highest values we become spontaneously inspired from within to act. We become more disciplined, reliable and focused; we expand our space and time horizons; we achieve more; we elevate our self-worth, certainty and belief in ourselves.
"We bring blood glucose and oxygen into our forebrain and awaken our executive centre governance and become more reasonable, objective or even-minded."
John outlines the 5 biggest fears business leaders face and how they can be overcome:
Am I smart and savvy enough?
Many leaders are afraid that they are not knowledgeable enough or equipped in certain areas to manage certain tasks ahead of them.
Solution: Take your focus off your fears and remain focused on your guiding mission. "Build on and grow your specific area of knowledge and expertise," John says. "And find the right people and teams to assist in those areas where competence or experience may be lacking."
Will I be rejected?
As individuals, the fear of rejection comes from people whom we have somehow placed ourselves 'beneath'. This subordinate position (either real or perceived) makes us fear the other person's opinion and is common among business leaders who perceive counterparts or rivals to be more successful than them.
Solution: Stop comparing and measuring yourself against others. "I advise business leaders, in this scenario, to only measure/compare their actions against their own vision – and not to any other person," John says. "We are not here to live in the shadows – we are here to stand on the shoulders of giants."
Will I lose money?
This can be a paralysing fear for business leaders as the pressure to bring in profits is usually ever-present.
Solution: Get back to your initial vision and mission. "It should be about serving the customer and making their lives better," John advises. "In this way, the fear of losing money can quickly turn into a blessing – as it hopefully redirects leaders back to their true passion and personal mission."
Will I have enough energy and vitality?
This fear particularly affects business leaders who feel threatened by younger, more tech-savvy professionals who are rising up in their field.
Solution: Again, this is an issue with comparing and measuring against others. "Always have faith in your own skills and experience," John says. "Stay true to your mission and, where necessary, hire and partner with those individuals who can bring competency in the areas where gaps lie."
Will I have to go against my moral compass/ethics?
Often, business leaders find themselves in tough situations where they are forced to choose between being honest – and losing profit or market share – or being dishonest for short-term gain.
Solution: Stay true to your own moral compass and follow your instincts. "It is always when we lose sight of our own mission and values that we stray into dangerous and potentially harmful territory," John adds.

the importance of tourism for educational purposes. 3, this provided the legislation for the establishment of Ceylon Tourist Board. The botanical gardens are maintained by the Department of National Botanical Gardens, 21 and the zoological gardens are maintained by the Department of National Zoological Gardens. Sri Lanka is one of the biggest and best tea producers of tea. Through the straightforward or clear-cut design of the research study, the information presented was easier to identify and comprehend. 28 Sri Lanka is also a destination for sports such as cricket, rugby, golf and surfing.
Art plays an integral part in the history of Sri Lanka providing a figurative gold mine to archeologists and anthropologists since art speaks a lot about the Sri Lankan way of life. Tea was introduced to the country by the British who called the country "Ceylon". Rice is the main staple diet of the country. The best part of the cuisine is that its very versatile, where there are a lot of ways to cook one particular dish, which is great for avoiding monotony. Other staples include hoppers, string hoppers, and pittu. 16 Many species of flora and fauna are indigenous to Sri Lanka. After Sri Lanka's independence the promotion of tourism was again considered by re-establishing the Ceylon Tourist Board which took over the function of the Tourist Bureau. Other Resort Regions : This includes Yala, Udawalawa, Wasgamuwa, Pinnawala, and Ratnapura area. For centuries, Sri Lanka has been a popular place of attraction for foreign travelers. Except for cricket, the contribution to the tourism sector from other sports are still at a very low level. The next factor regards the lack of management experience of the customer experience as an obstacle to customer experience success.

A Man of True Self-denying Purity?
Ch'ên Chung Tse belongs to an ancient and noble family of Ch'i. His elder brother Tai received from Ko a revenue of 10,000 chung, but he considered his brother's emolument to be unrighteous, and would not live on it, and in the same way he considered his brother's house to be unrighteous, and would not dwell in it. Avoiding his brother and leaving his mother, he went and dwelt in Mountain Wu-ling.
Living in Wu-ling, he himself builds a cottage, plants the millet, and weaves sandals of hemp, and his wife twists hempen thread, to barter them.
He was so poor that in one occasion for three days was without food, till he could neither hear nor see. Over a well grew a plum tree, the fruit of which had been more than half-eaten by worms. He crawled to it, and tried to eat some of the fruit, when, after swallowing three mouthfuls, he recovered his sight and hearing.
One day afterwards, he returned to their house, when it happened that some one sent his brother a present of a live goose. He, knitting his brows, said, ' What are you going to use that cackling thing for?' — By-and-by his mother killed the goose, and gave him some of it to eat. Just then his brother came into the house, and said, ' It's the flesh of that cackling thing,' upon which he went out and vomited it.
Mencius' disciple K'iang Chang Tse asked Mencius, "Is not Ch'ên Chung Tse a man of true self-denying purity?
But Mencius replied, " Among the scholars of Ch'i, I must regard Ch'ên Chung Tse as the thumb among the fingers. But still, where is the self-denying purity he pretends to? To carry out the principles which he holds, one must become an earth-worm, for so only can it be done.
"Now, an earthworm eats the dry mould above, and drinks from the yellow spring-water below. Was the house in which Ch'ên Chung Tse dwelt built by a Worthy like Po Yi, or was it built by a robber like Chê? Was the millet which he ate planted by a Sage like Po Yi, or was it planted by a robber like Chê? These are things which cannot be known."

Q: How to properly write multiline text with LaTeX symbol in a frame and with background I wanted to include a number of text-box with background color white inside a plot. The text inside the box will also have LaTex expressions as well as multiple lines.
Is there any way to include multiline text (including LaTeX symbol) inside a plot?
In addition  I  want to set frame and background color for the box.
I am currently using Epilog and Prolog to include such text.
  ListLinePlot[
  Table[{k,
  PDF[BinomialDistribution[50, p], k]}, {p, {0.3, 0.5, 0.8}}, {k, 0,50}],
  Filling -> Axis,
  FillingStyle -> Automatic,
  (**Option-1**)
  Epilog -> Text[Style[ToExpression["\\text{E}_{x} \\n text2", TeXForm, HoldForm],Bold],{30, 0.13}],
  (**Option-2**)
  Prolog -> {Inset[Framed[ "E_{x}\ntext2" , RoundingRadius -> 5,Background -> White], {45, 0.13}]}
  (**Option-3**)
(*Prolog -> {Inset[Framed[ MaTeX["E_{x}\\n text2" ] , RoundingRadius -> 5,Background ->White],{45,0.13}]}*)
   ]

Option-1 fails writing E_{x} as well as breaking line.
Option-2 fails writing E_{x} but breaks line.
Option-3 is the one I wanted but it fails in breaking line.
Is there any way to achieve this.
Moreover I also wanted to ask, what should one do if one has to include say more that two text boxes?

A: I just found that I can use Grid which solves all the problem.
  ListLinePlot[
  Table[{k,
  PDF[BinomialDistribution[50, p], k]}, {p, {0.3, 0.5, 0.8}}, {k, 0,50}],
  Filling -> Axis,
  FillingStyle -> Automatic,

  (**Option-3**)
  Prolog -> {Inset[Framed[Grid[{ {MaTeX["E_{x}"]}, {MaTeX["text2"]} }] ,
RoundingRadius -> 5, Background -> White], {45, 0.13}]}
   ]

Ten years later, Stanford coach David Shaw refers to it as simply "The moment" — the moment that legitimized Stanford, the moment that changed everything for the Cardinal football program.
The moment Mark Bradford hauled in a 10-yard touchdown catch from Tavita Pritchard with 48 seconds remaining to beat USC on Oct. 6, 2007 and secure one of the greatest upsets in college football history.
The moment.
"Everybody saw it," said Shaw, who was Stanford's offensive coordinator that season under first-year coach Jim Harbaugh.

That everybody included members of the Stanford recruiting class of 2008, which featured Andrew Luck, Chase Thomas, David DeCastro, Jonathan Martin.
And the Stanford recruiting class of 2009 (Shayne Skov, Zach Ertz, Trent Murphy, Tyler Gaffney).
And the Stanford recruiting class of 2010 (David Yankey, Henry Anderson, Ed Reynolds).
"It affected recruiting that year, the next year, the next year," said Shaw, whose team returns to the Coliseum this week.
The lasting impact of the upset, Shaw believes, lies in the timing — in the kickoff time and the lack of competition for eyeballs and the overall visibility of Stanford's effort, performance and ultimate victory.
Kickoff was 4 p.m. on the Versus Network, which was in approximately 70 million homes that fall, according to the L.A. Times. And the game picked up viewers as word spread of the brewing upset.
The TV competition that evening consisted of UCLA-Notre Dame — the Irish were terrible in 2007 — and LSU-Florida.
But both started an hour later than Stanford-USC, allowing viewers to click over to Versus without missing the finish of their preferred game.
"It was in that sweet spot," Shaw said of the broadcast window.
*** The link to my conversation with Pritchard is below — he recounted the key plays in detail — but here are six nuggets beyond the TV "sweet spot" that might have been forgotten, or overlooked:

* Pritchard was making his first career start. Stanford starter T.C. Ostrander had suffered a seizure the previous weekend.
* USC quarterback John David Booty broke a finger on his throwing hand in the second quarter but was not replaced — and would throw four interceptions over the remainder of the game.
* Bradford, who grew up in Los Angeles, lost his father unexpectedly two weeks earlier. (His mother had died a few years prior.)
* In addition to Shaw and Harbaugh, two current Power Five coaches were on the Cardinal staff that season: running backs coach Willie Taggart (Oregon) and defensive ends coach D.J. Durkin (Maryland).
(Lance Anderson, who coached the defensive tackles that season, is Stanford's defensive coordinator.)
* There was a communication breakdown with the sideline on fourth-and-20, forcing Pritchard to call his own play in the huddle.
* On fourth down from the five, Stanford was called for an illegal substitution, pushing the ball back to the 10. That might have proved an advantage for the Cardinal by creating enough space for Pritchard and Bradford to connect on the next play.

Update: 4.29.04 As you may have guessed if you're reading this now, the relaunch has occured and I'm now in a spiffy new weblog format. Still plenty of kinks to iron out, numerous css bugs to address (many in IE, no surprise) and old content to be imported, but here it is. I'll be fiddling and tweaking and cleaning up for a while so if you spot a grevious bug let me know.
Quite some time ago I announced to my readers (both of you) that I was planning to rebuild G.fc with a new design and a new content management system. And I did mean to do it, really I did, I was this close to doing it… but procrastination set in and it was just too easy to put off. Too much headache and not enough benefit. So I slacked.
But it wasn't just pure laziness that pushed the overhaul to the back burner. It was also disillusionment. When G.fc launched in August of 2002, it was intended to grow into a community news portal, along the lines of Slashdot, kur05hin, and Ars Technica. I was hoping for contributions from visitors, hell I was even hoping for visitors. But it just didn't happen. There was an initial flurry of activity with the registration of about 60 refugees from the Volaris gaming forums which were shutting down at the time, though apparently they reopened again and those refugees went back. Volaris was later bought up by Earthlink, so I don't know if the forums exist in any form, but it still stands that those early G.fc regulars are regular no longer.
So as the site has continued to stagnate with a non-existent community, I've gradually just lost interest in supporting the sort of collaborative environment this site was intended to be. And yet, I still enjoy maintaining it as a place to publish my thoughts on whatever interests me, though I admit I haven't been doing much of that lately. So the impending overhaul has shifted direction. G.fc will remain alive, but not as a news portal. I am officially entering into the world of blogging.
Of course, G.fc has essentially been my blog for two years, but that was never its intended purpose. I've avoided posting things from a purely personal perspective (unless they were informative and relevant) because it would go against that whole community portal vibe. But now that this site is transforming into the weblog of an individual geek, I need no longer pay lip service to journalistic integrity. It's a rather freeing sensation.
But fear not, this isn't going to be about the banalities of my personal life. I shall not regale my readers with insipid blatherings about girls I have crushes on or the results of some online personality test that tells you which Dragonball Z character you are after randomly clicking 10 radio buttons. I will not whine about that mean thing my co-worker said that really hurt my feelings more than I let on, nor shall I end every third sentence with "LOL" as if I were unaware that this is a static medium. This isn't LiveJournal for christ's sake.
In fact, things won't change too much at all. The site will still live at the geek.focalcurve.com subdomain. It'll still be blue and gray, though much leaner and standards-compliant. I'll still write about the same general geekery (movies, technology, spam, web design). There will even be some opportunity for community involvement through posted comments. But the forums are going away and the user database will be purged. I'll be spending some time digging through the old posts for any stories I want to save and import, but the bulk of the content from the past 2 years will be taken offline and permanently archived on my local hard drive. Linkrot is a concern, but once google catches up it'll be fine.
I'll be doing this some time in the coming weeks, loosely aiming at the first of May even though I'm not officially participating in the May 1st Reboot. The new site will be powered by WordPress, a PHP-based blog engine and cousin to b2. Moveable Type is more popular, but I know nothing about Perl so I'm more comfortable hacking around with PHP (about which I know only slightly more than nothing).
So changes are in the works. I hope to see you back here when the remodeling is complete.

Looking to strike a blow against the proliferation of digital video recorders, the ABC network, its affiliated broadcast stations, and Cox Communications' cable systems are establishing an on-demand video service that would allow viewers to watch ABC shows like "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" any time they choose.
The catch: It uses a new technology that disables the viewers' ability to fast-forward through commercials.
The system, which ABC is expected to announce Monday, has been tested over the last several months in homes served by Cox in Orange County, Calif. The programs replayed on this video-on-demand service would include advertising sold by the network as well as by local ABC stations, but the total number of commercials in the shows would be far less than the over-the-air broadcast version of the show.
ABC and Cox executives said that consumer response to the test had been positive. Several executives involved in the project, which ABC plans to offer to other cable systems around the country, said the move was an overt attempt to staunch the use of DVRs like TiVo, which viewers often use to avoid commercials. That activity is increasingly seen as threat to broadcast television, which depends on ad revenue to pay for programs.
Ray Cole, president of Citadel Communications, which owns three local ABC stations, who is also the chairman of the board of affiliated ABC stations, was even more direct about the goal of the new service.
Cable systems are increasingly offering DVRs as part of their packages to customers because satellite distributors, the main competitors for cable, routinely offer DVR service. But at the same time, cable operators would clearly welcome any development that could counter the spread of the machines, which are costly for them to maintain. DVRs wear our frequently, leading to many service calls and high labor and maintenance costs.
Time Warner Cable has experimented with two similar services. One called Start Over lets customers restart a show in progress; the other, still in test phase, is called Look Back and lets viewers watch a show within 24 hours of its initial air time, without skipping commercials.
For the latter service to be used more broadly, Time Warner would have to negotiate with rights holders to acquire the replay rights to shows. In the Cox service, viewers can replay the shows any time on demand for up to four weeks, and ABC has already signed off on granting rights to its shows.
Ms. Sweeney said that Cox approached ABC with the idea, and the network stipulated that it would have interest only in a video-on-demand service that included technology to disable the fast-forward function. "Skipping commercials is obviously not a good thing for our advertisers," Ms. Sweeney said.
ABC was the first network to make shows available on the iTunes download service and to replay its shows on its Web site. In the former example, ABC has not sold commercials, likening that service to DVD sales; but it does sell commercials on replays of its shows on ABC.com.
Robert C. Wilson, the senior vice president for programming at Cox Communications, said that the focus groups the company had organized in Orange County to measure reactions to the service indicated a high degree of satisfaction. "They told us they valued the enhanced access to programs and were not concerned about the disabled fast-forward," Mr. Wilson said.
One other constituency whose satisfaction was crucial was ABC's affiliated stations. ABC's iTunes deal led to angry protests from station managers, who believed that ABC was violating agreements that stations would have an initial period of exclusivity over the network programs.
When ABC made its deals to sell commercials in programs replayed on ABC.com, it invited the local stations into the deal, allowing them to sell one local commercial on each show. The video-on-demand deal also allows stations to sell commercials.
Mr. Cole said, "The ability for local stations to participate in the economics of video on demand is exciting." He said that initially the technology involved might make it difficult for some stations to place local commercials in the replayed ABC shows and that ABC has put a revenue-sharing arrangement in place to compensate the stations.

Past Students
CWD Field Study
2018-2020 Fieldwork
Tracking Timberdoodles
Ashley Huinker (MS student) and Craig Campaeu (field technician) demonstrate how we mount radio transmitters on woodcock hens. Birds are initially located using pointing dogs in cooperation with many volunteers from the Michigan Woodcock Banders. Transmitters on the hens and chicks allow us to relocate individuals through the season and assess their survival and use of habitat. This research is a collaborative effort between the QWC and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, investigating how local- and landscape-scale habitats influence the reproductive success of woodcock.
Capture, handling, and auxiliary marking protocols are approved and permitted by the Animal Care and Use Committee at Michigan State University and a Federal Bird Banding and Marking Permit.

As part of the work Jennifer and one of our undergraduate researchers, Steve Gurney, are collecting video footage of bear behavior around the snares. Check out this video series showing a bear accessing bait hung higher than he can initially reach.
Kathryn Frens honored with Pattullo Award
Kathryn Frens, a PhD student in the Boone and Crockett Quantitative Wildlife Center, has received the Ambrose Pattullo Fund for Environmental Issues Graduate Fellowship for Literary Work.
Kathryn's research focuses on the intersection of land use policy, wildlife conservation, and human wellbeing across large landscapes. She is studying how those factors interact in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the Adirondack Park of New York.
The Pattullo Fund Fellowship recognizes students who are interested in current environmental issues and who have written about these issues for publication in a literary outlet. Kathryn was honored for her fictional piece entitled "Frog Songs" that will be featured in the next edition of Spotlight Magazine.
Leading the future of turkey management
The Boone and Crockett Quantitative Wildlife Center, along with the Quantitative Fisheries Center and Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), recently hosted a structured decision making (SDM) workshop in East Lansing, MI to inform future directions of wild turkey management in Michigan. This was the second in a sequence of four workshops aimed at integrating management stakeholders, agency biologists, and university researchers into the process of jointly identifying turkey management objectives and potential management options, as well as using advanced statistical modeling to understand spatial-temporal dynamics of turkey populations and predict likely outcomes of management decisions. This highly collaborative project involves a team of modelers and facilitators from Michigan State University, managers and researchers from DNR, and representatives from stakeholder groups, including: Michigan Association of Conservation Districts, Michigan Audubon, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Michigan Farm Bureau, Michigan Natural Resources Commission, Michigan United Conservation Clubs, Michigan Wild Turkey Hunters Association, National Wild Turkey Federation, The Nature Conservancy of Michigan, and the Saginaw-Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan.

State-Space Models for Fish and Wildlife Population Dynamics
The Boone and Crockett Quantitative Wildlife Center (BCQWC) and the Quantitative Fisheries Center (QFC) at Michigan State University (MSU) partnered to organize and sponsor a special topic symposium at the recent Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference in Grand Rapids, MI. Bryan Stevens (BCQWC), Dr. Renee Riley (QFC), and Dr. David Williams (BCQWC) organized the symposium, which drew more than 100 attendees. One of the ways we accomplish the mission of the BCQWC is by bringing together experts in quantitative methods within a forum that promotes the use and application of those methods for conservation. The Midwest FW Conference was an especially appropriate venue as it brought together many current and future conservation leaders: regional agency personnel, faculty, and students.
A highlight of the symposium was our keynote speaker, Dr. Ken Newman from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Dr. Newman is a world-renowned expert in the development and use of state-space models for fish and wildlife management applications. Special thanks to the Quantitative Fisheries Center and the Boone and Crockett Quantitative Wildlife Center for funding Dr. Newman's participation in this symposium.
Symposium abstract:
State-space models represent a synthetic framework for statistical applications in fisheries and wildlife that link dynamic models of ecological systems with observation models for describing sampling processes. Such models are a special class of hierarchical model where data are time-series observations, and partially observed population states are dependent through time in a Markovian fashion. As such, state-space frameworks facilitate a more formal merging of hypotheses and models from theoretical and empirical ecology, as well as direct fitting of dynamic ecological models to real data from fish and wildlife populations. Despite the conceptual advantages of these tools they have not received widespread adoption into graduate curriculum and professional training courses, and thus many researchers and students are not familiar with the framework and its potential use in applied research. Our objectives were to: 1) provide a general introduction to state-space models and their applications for fish and wildlife scientists, 2) describe case studies using state-space methods to model fish and wildlife populations, and 3) summarize existing barriers and likely future directions for learning and implementing state-space approaches in applied fisheries and wildlife research. This symposium began with a formal keynote talk to introduce the topic and conceptual framework, followed by multiple example applications using state-space methods to model fish and wildlife population dynamics, and concluded with a panel discussion of future directions and barriers to implementation of state-space methods in applied fisheries and wildlife research.
Special thanks to our invited speakers:
Dr. Ken Newman (USFWS)
Dr. Elise Zipkin (MSU)
Dr. Sam Rossman (MSU)
Dr. James Bence (MSU)
Dr. Zhenming Su (Michigan DNR)

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. While the service costs nothing to use, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees.
Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Twitter has gained notability and popularity worldwide. It is sometimes described as the "SMS of the Internet" since the use of Twitter's application programming interface for sending and receiving short text messages by other applications often eclipses the direct use of Twitter.
Twitter is ranked as one of the 50 most popular websites worldwide by Alexa's web traffic analysis. Although estimates of the number of daily users vary because the company does not release the number of active accounts, a February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network based on their count of 6 million unique monthly visitors and 55 million monthly visits. In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009. Twitter had a monthly growth of 1,382 percent, Zimbio of 240 percent, followed by Facebook with an increase of 228 percent. However, only 40 percent of Twitter's users are retained.


Kunal Purohit u mean issey miyake bleau d 'issey Or pour homme Or nuit Or intense M a bit confused over the classic term . Btw the masculine floral got u.. 😀😀😀 R u sure which version u r talking abt ?
When you say cheap , I think of armaf!
These are not cheap in my country.
Am I one of the few who really loved the Italian Zest??
From the looks of it....yes lol.
I was going to flip out if you didn't put Abercrombie and Fitch first instinct on the list lol. Perfect summer fragrance and dirt cheap. Love it...Thanks for the list though.
One of my favorites, Aqua Amara, but you won't get it forever, it's been discontinued.
Versace Pour Homme for me was terrible. Would rather wear Dylan Blue which has a actually noticeable scent. Aqua amara I think a lot could agree it's great!
Hi Ash, any recommendations for a very strong lemon, lime, bergamot EDP bomb for hotter than hell Malaysia? I miss the old YSL Pour Homme and YSL Jazz, so that's what is on my mind. Cheers.
Great review...using your NPR voice on this video 😀!
Your content and knowledge is so perfect but your presentations is quite weak. That's where Jeremy wins.
Does everybody have to be same?
+Jayant Sharmayes. I mistyped it.
The extreme version is better.
Too bad BVLGARI is rather expensive over here in yurop it seems, the stuff runs with Dior or Versace prices.
Thanks....some amazing new information ...I am in India where it's warm to hot most of the time!
Love the quick straight forward review, no bias whatsoever. Full description plus comparison to high end brand. You're awesome!
Silly question, but how does one find the various "vintages" mentioned? I have checked various sites and most have just one cologne listed (current?). So where do I go? Thanks! P.S. I just discovered you and have subscribed.
great list bro i agree with all your comments , nice job!!!!!
Did you record this at the in-laws? Felt like you were whispering in my ear... :) Great videos!
I totally agree with the comment below .. and the quality of your vids Ashton is phenomenal. I loved the visuals when you pan in on each frag - very summery. Great list of cheapies, good stuff.
I am from Oman, Where the temperature reaches around 50 C in Summer. I Can fairly say that Citrus & Vetiver based fragrances are great for hot weather. Issey Miyake L'Eau pour Home is a great choice.
What is your favorite year for CK One Summer?
I bought the Issey Miyake one last year based on the excellent ratings on Fragrantica but haven't opened it yet.
Great review... Outstanding! Keep em coming!
I've been thinking about picking up Aqva Amara for awhile. Love First Instinct and I've seen that they released a First Instinct Extreme 😲🤔.
gotcha! What would you say is a good orangy cologne? Orange and mandarin are my favorite notes but its been tough trying to find one. Kinda liked the vibe Hugo Iced gave but you mentioned Jimmy choo iced. Is the mandarin a stand out note?
You should stay away from the others in the Aqva line then as well because the seaweed is even more pronounced in the other releases.
This video was so much fun to watch! Thank you, Ashton!
Ashton - do you want to guess which keyword in your video title has made this video your runaway hit of the past few months in terms of quick views? Just add "aphrodisiacs" to the title and you might be over 100k by now! Will Bogart's Silver Scent Pure make the next list? I think any list has to include Azzaro Chrome considering the price it goes for these days (at discounters).
what do you think about Carolina Herrera Chic?
You should do more of these round robin style videos for each season or occasion, great video by the way!
Gimme the Isse strictly off the bottle. Dope !!!
You should try Mercedes Benz Cologne ,can't beat it for the price!
I have the issay. Unbelievably good scent. It has volume, like it's fully three dimensional compared to the carton cutouts that are the other frags in this genre.
Tal Where did you get it ???
That was a great top ten! best top 10 viewed in a while!
How long does lacoste yellow last? Make a review on lacoste yellow please!
Aqva Amara is nasty!! Lol.
Hey Ashton, speaking of Abercrombie... what about a video about Hollister and other "Mall" fragrances?
Cerruti 1881 is a pretty good as well. Only downside though is that I believe it was reformulated.
Versace Pour Homme is such a good fragrance. It's one of the very few fragrances I've smelled that I can honestly say there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. You could knock it for being generic but honestly these days most people have moved on to the Dior Sauvage-esque ambroxan bombs of the fragrance world so you'll still smell somewhat unique with VPH. I also think Man Eau Fraiche is just as good, if not even better.
Rasasi Tasmeem, Burberry touch, Hanae Mori HM, Guerlain Odeal Cologne, Moschino Uomo, Tommy Bahama St.Barts and Versace Dylan Blue are my warm weather favoirites, including Versace Pour Homme of course.
Tasmeem in the heat ?
artisan pure is now on fragrancex for 35!
*crosses fingers* mont blanc starwalker.
Another rockin review, Ash. I love Aqva Amara...I was sportin that gorgeous smelling juice at work today, and had to refrain from sniffing myself in front of my students! Great stuff. I also love that Versace Pour Homme is so cheap, it's a classic for sure. Rock on, Brah!
Bogart's Silver Scent Pure is a great affordable (read: dirt cheap) warm weather fragrance. Borderline beast mode as well.
Great list! And Great Channel Amara and Versace Pour Homme are in my rotation, glad you named Ventana it is 99% Sauvage to my untrained nose. Regards from Sweden.
your thoughts on Ajmal Zeal as a Sauvage clone? Only about $23 !!
Any update for a Dolce & Gabbana The one Clone?
