Students of architecture prepare to become professional architects. Classes cover such topics as architectural theory, design, and history; drafting; and project and site planning.
While architecture is grounded in science, its heart is in the arts. Well-designed buildings not only serve the people who use them. They are also works of art that help define the town or city in which they stand.
As an architecture major, you'll learn how to work with others to imagine buildings, from straw-bale houses to the tallest skyscrapers. And with the technical know-how you pick up in such classes as architectural engineering and construction materials, you'll know just what needs to be done to bring them to life.
Astronomy students study space, the history and future of the universe, and the objects within, such as planets, stars, and galaxies. Subjects of study include the evolution of stars, how the stars and planets move through space, chemistry, and advanced math.
When you look up at the night sky, what do you see? There are patterns of stars, planets, the moon, and some sights that you may not be able to explain. Astronomy is the study of those objects in space — how stars, planets, and galaxies form and behave — and the universe itself.
If you want to understand the mysteries of the night sky, this could be the major for you.
Meteorology students study the atmosphere (the gases that surround the earth), focusing on the weather and how to forecast it. Areas of study include the climate, the physics of the atmosphere, and chemistry.
You've got your bathing suit on and your sun block packed, but by the time you get to the beach, it's pouring rain. What happened to that sunny day you expected? Why is the weather so changeable, so uncertain?
Meteorology is the field of science that seeks to understand and predict short-term weather as well as long-term climate processes.
Chemistry majors use math, theory, and experimentation to study matter (physical substance). They look at what it's made of and how it behaves, down to the atomic level.
Lightning crackles in the sky as the camera pans over a dark castle. Down in the laboratory, a mad scientist stands among his many vials, test tubes, and beakers, mixing liquids to produce a bubbling, smoking potion.
The popular B movie villain, haphazardly mixing chemicals for evil purposes, is a far cry from the professional chemist. In reality, chemists work in controlled environments, using the scientific method to make valuable contributions in a range of fields, including medicine, biology, psychology, and geology. As a chemistry major, you'll explore many different topics, from the chemical basis for life to the environmental problems caused by chemicals.
Students of communication sciences and disorders study the science behind communication problems and their development. They also learn how to treat children and adults and use what they learn to come up with new strategies and technologies for diagnosis and rehabilitation.
Imagine a birthday party for a three-year-old child. The room is full of chatter: children asking for more ice cream or complaining that another child took their toy. But one child, who appears to be as healthy as his peers, is silent. He is not playing with others, and his face shows an absence of emotion.
If you study communication sciences and disorders, you'll learn the cause of this child's behavior. You'll also learn how to help him interact with others and break his silence.
Computer science majors learn about computer systems and the way humans and computers interact from a scientific perspective. Instruction includes programming and the theory and design of software.
In countless old Star Trek episodes, a baffled captain asked the computer for help, and the computer promptly replied with an answer. What was once science fiction is becoming reality, thanks to computer scientists working in voice recognition.
If you study computer science, you may learn how to design computer programs that allow humans and computers to speak to one another. Keep in mind, your work is more likely to help a vision-impaired person than a captain navigating the universe, but you never know.
Computer Software Engineering
As a software engineering major, you'll study the scientific and mathematical basis of computer software. You'll learn a variety of programming languages and how to design, analyze and maintain software.
If you're considering a major as a computer software engineer, be prepared for a cutting edge and continuously evolving career. Jobs will advance rapidly and new jobs will be created often to meet ever-changing technological needs. Just think about how much computers and the software they use have evolved over the past four years.
The scientific and mathematical foundation you build in this major will always be fundamental to your work. But like other computer majors, you'll face a lifetime of learning as you strive to stay on the forefront of innovation.
Construction management students learn the skills needed to manage, coordinate, and supervise construction projects from start to finish, including scheduling, budgeting, and managing materials and people.
In 1961, construction crews started working around the clock to build Seattle's famous Space Needle. To construct a base that would ensure stability in an earthquake, they dug a hole 30-feet deep and 120-feet across and filled it with 467 truckloads of cement.
But those cement trucks didn't show up by themselves, and neither did the construction crews. Behind the scenes were construction managers, the people who coordinated the entire effort. If you major in construction management, you'll learn all you need to fill their shoes.
Design and Visual Communications
Students of design and visual communications study a wide range of applied arts disciplines, from interior design to illustration and beyond.
Like broad strokes across a canvas, the major in design and visual communications cuts a wide swath through a range of applied arts, from fashion design to industrial design.
In this major, you'll learn what it takes to communicate ideas and information effectively -- no matter what art form you're using. Though you'll have to take a few courses on theory, you'll have plenty of opportunity to build the practical skills you'll need to work in the field.
Electronics technology majors learn the basic skills needed to operate, maintain, install, and repair electrical and electronic equipment.
Are you the type who takes apart the toaster just to see if you can put it back together again? If so, you may want to major in electronics technology.
In this broad-based program, you'll learn the basics of electronics and electricity, from circuits to microprocessors. With a certificate or associate's degree under your belt, you'll be ready to apply your skills installing phone and home-alarm systems, fixing washing machines, troubleshooting computer ills -- and much more.
Engineering and Industrial Management
Students of engineering and industrial management learn how to plan and manage engineering and industrial projects.
From estimating the costs of materials to ensuring that a site is safe for workers, industrial managers make sure that engineering projects are completed safely, on time, and within budget.
Majors in engineering and industrial management prepare for this role. They learn how to manage finances by mastering mathematical methods and studying economic theories as well as looking at real examples from the business world. Students also gain hands-on experience in factories and other job sites.
Students of environmental science learn how the physical and biological processes that shape the natural world interact. They also look at how we affect nature and come up with solutions to environmental problems.
When coal and oil are burned, they form acids that fall to the earth as rain. Acid rain can do a lot of damage, such as killing off living things in lakes. Scientists figured out, however, that lakes on limestone rock were less affected than others. Why? Limestone weakens acid. So as a short-term solution, scientists added lime to lakes where it doesn't occur naturally.
No single science was enough to come up with this solution -- it took experts in biology, chemistry, geology, and other sciences. If you major in environmental science, you'll learn to use the ideas and methods of a number of biological and physical sciences to tackle some of the world's most pressing problems.
Geology students look at the earth and the forces acting upon it, including the solids, liquids, and gasses that make it up. Study includes such topics as historical geology, rock and soil chemistry, and the use of minerals in industry.
How did Mount Everest, the highest place on earth, come into being? Why do the rocks of the Andes Mountains in South America contain fossils of ocean fish? As geology majors explore the Earth's history, they gain valuable insight into some of today's most pressing concerns, such as global climate change.
If you study geology, you'll learn about the Earth's treasures, such as fossils and gems, as well as its dangers, such as volcanoes and earthquakes.
Marine biology majors study the creatures that live in the oceans. They also look at the habitats and ecological environments in which these organisms live.
Oceans cover two-thirds of the earth's surface. And while their surfaces often look smooth, the oceans are teeming with life. Oceans provide animal habitat all the way down to the ocean floor. Since oceans are, on average, over 2.5 miles deep, this means that they contain 99.5 percent of our planet's livable habitat. Within that vast space, the oceans are filled with a huge range of microscopic organisms, animals, and plant life.
If you major in marine biology, you'll learn how this life thrives in the oceans. You'll study such subjects as the chemical makeup of water, the ocean's geology, marine mammals, fish, plants, and biological habitats.
Students of marine sciences study all aspects of the ocean, making use of both the biological and the physical sciences.
How do oceans affect global climate patterns? Why have coral reef diseases begun to multiply? And why are more sea lions having miscarriages? As a student of marine sciences, you'll examine questions like these. Although your focus in this interdisciplinary major will be the ocean, you'll also study its complex relationship with life on land.
Math majors study quantities, forms, and symbolic logic in such subjects as algebra, geometry, calculus, logic, topology, and number theory.
Most of us are comfortable using everyday math -- when we go shopping, for example. But higher level math, such as calculus, may seem mysterious, a completely unfamiliar language. As a math major, you'll study this language and learn how to use it to describe the world. You'll explore calculus, modern algebra, and other high-level math in the purest light.
If you love to solve math problems just to know the answer and enjoy using abstract concepts to discover whether something is true or false, this could be the major for you.
Students of music learn about the history of music, music theory and composition, and the performance of one or more instruments. Classes cover such topics as musical styles, ear training, and performance.
The study of music is as varied as the kinds of music that exist throughout the world, from Renaissance to rap. Music majors study everything from producing pop albums to staging performances as they were staged in Mozart's time.
The bachelor of arts (B.A.) in music is usually offered at liberal arts colleges. Generally, the B.A. requires a lot of course work outside the area of music. At a music conservatory, on the other hand, you can earn a bachelor of music (B.M.) degree, which will prepare you for a career as a professional musician.
Pre-physical therapy programs provide guidance to students as they prepare for graduate study in physical therapy. They are often concentrations within other majors, such as biology, health sciences, and physical education.
Physical therapy is a relatively young profession, owing its start to the polio epidemics and world wars in the first half of the last century. Physical therapists stepped in to help the large numbers of young people who suffered from movement challenges.
You'll need a thorough grasp of the science of movement to get results as a physical therapist. And you'll start building that knowledge in high school biology and continue to perfect it through graduate school. As an undergrad, you can sign up for a pre-physical therapy program. This is usually not a major, but a program that includes the courses admission officers will look for when you apply to grad school.
Actuaries decide how likely it is that various events will happen. Using their knowledge of statistics, finance, and business, they help create insurance policies, pension plans, and other financial plans.
To be alive is to face risks. Some are avoidable. For example, if you want to avoid earthquakes, don't move to California. But some risks are harder to control. People can get sick without warning or wind up in an auto accident. And some hardships are inevitable. Much as we hate to think about it, we all die.
Do you find these facts fascinating, if gruesome? If so, consider a career as an actuary. Actuaries make a profession of studying risk.
Aerospace Engineers
Aerospace engineers design all kinds of manned and unmanned aircraft and spacecraft, from small airplanes to satellites. They test and build new designs and work to improve existing machines.
In 1903, the Wright brothers' first plane flew for twelve seconds and went only 120 feet. Today, aerospace engineers are working on supersonic ramjets. These scramjets, as they're called, will take you from New York to Tokyo in only two hours. That's a lot of progress for one century.
As an aerospace engineer, you could build satellites or defense systems. You could make airplanes faster and safer. You could design a spacecraft, a space station, or an explorer robot like the Mars-roving Spirit. If looking up at the sky starts you thinking about how to get there, you could be one of tomorrow's aerospace engineers.
Agricultural and Food Scientists
Agricultural scientists study farm crops and animals to improve their quality and yield. Food scientists research foods and develop new ways to preserve and package them.
In the old days, you sprinkled a lot of salt on your meat, hung it in your attic, and hoped for the best.
Today, thanks to agricultural and food scientists, we find an incredible range of choices on supermarket shelves. Even during the coldest months, we enjoy fruits and vegetables kept fresh by food preservation techniques, such as special plastic bags. And when we eat ice cream, we know exactly how much fat we're digesting.
Agricultural Engineers
Agricultural engineers use science and math to meet agricultural challenges. They help farms grow better and more food, look for ways to conserve soil and water, and design tools and equipment.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, it took four farmers to grow enough food for ten people. By the end of the century, one farmer could feed one hundred.
Agricultural engineers have contributed to this dramatic improvement. They've invented machinery, improved production systems, and found ways to grow healthier and stronger plants.
Animal Caretakers
Animal caretakers make sure that animals are clean, healthy, and happy.
Do you enjoy taking care of your pets? Have you always felt a special bond with animals? Becoming an animal caretaker is one way you can turn your interest in animals into a career.
The job might involve long hours and tough physical labor, but it's important work: if an animal gets sick, the caretaker is often the first to know. And the close relationships you develop with the animals under your care can make that work deeply satisfying.
Announcers talk on radio or TV programs that inform and entertain. Some announcers also provide information to the audience at sporting or performing arts events.
Think of your favorite radio station or local news program and you can probably name a DJ or news reporter. These announcers are the faces and voices of broadcasting. Announcers on radio and TV read the news and weather reports, open and close programs, announce song titles and artists, introduce or read commercials, and interview guests.
Aquaculturists
Aquaculturists raise fish and shellfish for commercial purposes, such as food and recreational fishing.
The demand for seafood is growing. However, overfishing has caused a decline in many species of fish and shellfish. That's why aquaculturists raise fish and shellfish for food and sport fishing in fisheries, such as ponds and floating pens. These agricultural specialists make sure that fish are healthy and safe for eating.
Some aquaculturists work in natural environments, like coastal areas, to ensure these sites are fished in responsibly. That way, they'll continue to produce fish and shellfish in the future.
Architects design buildings and oversee their construction.
Before any building is constructed, it exists in the mind's eye of an architect. Architects design buildings in which people work, worship, play, and conduct the countless other activities of their lives.
Consider the building you're in right now. Where are the windows placed? What materials were used to construct the building? How does the structure sit on the site it occupies? What style of architecture is used? And how do people use the building? The building's architect once considered all these same questions.
Archivists care for permanent records and historically valuable documents. They may also participate in research activities based on archival materials.
Archivists may take care of papers, letters, diaries, clippings, legal documents, maps, films, videos, sound recordings, and other records. These professionals combine technical expertise in the preservation of documents with knowledge of information-management systems.
The tasks of archivists vary according to the type of collection they work with, be it historic manuscripts or living plants and animals. At a cultural-history museum, an archivist might research and document the return of artifacts to American Indian tribes. At a zoo, an archivist might keep records on the veterinary care of animals.
Art directors come up with the visual concepts for everything from billboard advertisements to magazine layouts to videos and websites. Not all work in advertising; some create the look of editorial publications, such as newspapers.
Have you ever wondered who came up with the look for those great jeans ads or that cool CD jacket? Behind every advertisement, magazine cover, video, or website is a big-picture person: the art director.
If you'd rather call the shots than carry them out, art directing just might be your thing -- as long as you're ready to be a fountain of new ideas.
Arts Administrators
Arts administrators run arts programs that cover the gamut -- from finger-painting to photography; from ballet to belly dance; and from hip-hop to opera.
As an audience member at dance, music, or theater events, you've probably enjoyed watching others shine in the limelight. If you've ever performed onstage or seen your artistic efforts displayed in a newsletter or website (or even posted in the school hallway), you know the thrill of putting your best creative foot forward.
But for every artistic event, much of the work remains hidden. Arts administrators work behind the scenes to make sure artists keep creating and the public keeps appreciating art of every kind.
Athletic trainers work with athletes to prevent and treat injuries. They also play a key role in rehabilitation.
The year: 1996. The place: Atlanta. In her first vault, gymnast Kerri Strug falls and injures her ankle, badly. Should she go on to do her second vault? The team's depending on her, but is it safe? As an athletic trainer, you'll find yourself facing similar dilemmas, though you'll more likely be at a high school basketball game than the Olympics.
Biological Scientists
Biological scientists study living organisms like animals, plants, and microbes. They also examine their relationships to the environment and other living things.
We have always been interested in the living world around us. To survive, we had to understand which animals and plants were dangerous to us and which were good to eat.
Today's biologists still study living organisms, but they do so using the modern methods of science. These scientists of life look not only at plants and animals but also at microbes, microscopic organisms invisible to the naked eye. Biologists work in such fields as biochemistry, aquatic biology, botany, microbiology, zoology, and ecology.
Chemists and Materials Scientists
Chemists research chemicals -- the building blocks of all materials. Materials scientists conduct research on the structures and compositions of materials.
You may not realize it, but the products of chemistry play a big role in our daily lives. Chemists and materials scientists create the building blocks for medicines like Prozac or products such as plastic bags. Even the chocolate, marshmallow, and banana flavors of the processed food you eat were created in a lab by food chemists.
Chemists and materials scientists working in applied research come up with new products for industrial, commercial, and medical use.
Composers write music -- from classical to show tunes to rock. They create written compositions, called scores, to be performed by musicians and singers. The term "composer" includes singer-songwriters such as Bob Dylan.
It's easy to think of composers as dead European guys who wore frock coats and knickerbockers and wrote music for royalty. Yet music composition is alive and well. From Stephen Sondheim to Quincy Jones to Yoko Ono, composers today represent every segment of society -- including teens. And the music written is just as varied, reflecting the bounty of musical styles our world has to offer.
Computer and Information Systems Managers
Computer and information systems managers supervise computer professionals as well as technology projects big and small.
How are worms different from viruses, and how can we protect our computer networks against them? Is the latest technology worth paying top dollar for? What's the best way to sell products online? The computer questions facing businesses are many -- that's no surprise. But it may surprise you to know that it takes more than computer genius to answer them.
Computer and information systems managers coordinate the work of computer professionals and help top managers make crucial business decisions. And, in some cases, they are top managers.
Computer programmers write, test, and maintain the instructions that computers must follow to land airplanes, sell products online, build machines, share information, and so much more.
If you picture yourself as a computer programmer, you may already know a computer language. Once you know multiple computer languages, you'll be able to communicate throughout the world.
In addition to mastering programming languages like C++ and Java, you'll also need to communicate easily with people. After all, you'll often work with a team and sometimes with the users of the products you develop. At the end of the day, the key to programming is language.
Computer scientists come up with new ways of improving computers. They often work on a more abstract level than other computer professionals.
Imagine a time when computers didn't impact our daily lives. Now imagine new ways that computers will influence our lives in the future. How can they make your life easier, safer, healthier, and richer? Computer scientists are searching for the answers.
Computer scientists are thinkers, designers, architects, and innovators. In a world where success is measured by speed, efficiency, and access, computer scientists are inventing new languages, tools, and methods so that computers will continue to enhance our lives in new ways.
Computer Systems Analysts
Computer systems analysts create new computer systems and improve existing technology and business processes.
A new website for learning foreign languages is about to start up. A team of experts is ready to get to work -- from the people who create the content to the people who write the computer programs that drive the site. But before the programmers can start, a systems analyst must design the best way for customers to interact with the site. She has to decide everything from how they'll sign up and pay to how they'll use the site to master new vocabulary throughout the online learning process.
Computer systems analysts create technology solutions for large and small businesses and other organizations. They start by deciding what hardware and software will be needed. They then develop or adapt software to meet those needs.
Conservation Scientists
Conservation scientists manage natural resources, such as rangeland and water. They develop programs that both make resources productive and protect them.
How do you manage a ranch so that it supports the most cattle while maintaining the land so wildlife can live there? Solving this type of issue is the job of a range manager. A soil conservationist, on the other hand, might figure out how to restore farmland where the soil has been worn away. A water conservationist may look at how to assure a clean water supply for a growing town.
All of these scientists make complex decisions to come up with plans that balance economic goals with environmental impact -- and meet government regulations.
Conservators
Conservators care for and repair art objects and artifacts.
Conservators strive to protect precious objects -- everything from medieval tapestries, Chinese porcelain, and Mexican murals to classic comic books -- and to restore them to their former glory.
Conservators know a lot about art history and chemistry. They also work with a wide range of professionals, including archaeologists, art dealers, interior designers, architectural preservationists, and even nuclear physicists.
Construction Managers
Construction managers plan and coordinate construction projects, including residential, commercial, and civil (or public works) building.
Large construction projects may take years or even decades to complete -- think of a high-rise office building or a subway system. On projects this complicated, teams of construction managers handle different steps. One team might be responsible for estimating costs. Another team might schedule the activities of the various subcontractors. And yet another team might work on-site supervising the construction work in progress.
On smaller projects, one team may tackle several, or even all, of these functions. Regardless of the size of a job, it takes a group of dedicated construction managers to keep the project running on schedule and within budget.
Dentists prevent, diagnose, and treat health problems of the mouth. Most dentists are general practitioners, but some specialize in areas such as orthodontics (straightening teeth with braces) and endodontics (providing root canal treatment).
Dentists search for the culprits behind pain and disease. They delve into countless mouths to remove tooth decay, fill cavities, and repair fractured teeth. They also perform corrective surgery on gums and supporting bones. And among their less serious but more popular tasks is the whitening and reshaping of teeth to enhance their patients' smiles.
Like other health care professionals, dentists also work to prevent disease. They inspire their patients to do so as well, encouraging healthy diets and good oral hygiene.
Electronics Technicians
Electronics technicians install, care for, and repair electronic equipment.
As an electronics technician, you might service the industrial controls on a factory floor. Or you might repair missile control systems for the government. Or you could specialize in cars and trucks, installing and repairing sound and alarm systems.
Wherever your future takes you, you'll be working with computer programs, automated systems, and, of course, electricity. Many industries today, from manufacturing to telecommunications, depend on electrical equipment -- as well as the people who keep that equipment running safely and efficiently.
Elementary, Middle, and High School Teachers
Elementary, middle, and high school teachers work in public or private schools, preparing children for the work world or college. They also try to inspire a lifelong love of learning in their students.
If you want to become a teacher, it's probably because of your experiences in the classroom. Maybe you find inspiration in great teachers or simply your own love of learning. With a career in school teaching, you'll be able to share that love and pass along the skills and knowledge kids need to get a start in life.
Environmental scientists use ideas from the life and physical sciences to protect natural resources, such as forests and water.
Environmental scientists use their expertise to protect natural resources. If you're interested in chemistry, you might examine how certain chemicals affect plants, animals, and people. If you're interested in ecology, you might research the way rainfall, temperature, pollutants, and human activity affect an area.
As our population grows, we will need environmental scientists to preserve water, give advice on land-use and building projects, study and design sites for waste disposal, control pollution, and repair damaged natural areas. Whatever your focus, you'll work to solve some of the most serious problems facing the world today.
Financial Analysts
Financial analysts help businesses and other organizations come up with investment strategies to meet their financial goals.
Do you get psyched about stocks and bonds? Is the business section the first place you flip to in the Sunday paper? If so, then you should think about becoming a financial analyst.
If you do, your main responsibility will be spotting stock market trends and keeping tabs on up-and-coming companies. You'll also make predictions about the economic health of various industries. Why? So you can help businesses make good investment decisions.
Forensic Scientists
Forensic scientists, sometimes called crime laboratory analysts, provide scientific information and expert opinions to judges, juries, and lawyers.
Forensic science is more complex than TV might lead you to believe. In 1991, a postal worker in Phoenix, Arizona was accused of murdering a waitress. At the trial, a forensic scientist testified that a bite mark on the victim matched the suspect's teeth. The postal worker was convicted and sentenced to death.
Years later, other forensic scientists conducted DNA testing of saliva found on the victim's clothing. The testing revealed that the postal worker was innocent and identified the true murderer. Forensic science helped condemn an innocent man -- and then it redeemed him. It is a field constantly growing and changing.
Geographic Specialists
Surveyors use measurements to determine land, air, and water boundaries. Surveying technicians help them by making measurements out in the field. Cartographers make maps using physical, social, and historical information. Photogrammetrists use aerial photos to fill in details on maps.
How high is Mount Everest? To find out, you need only turn to the nearest encyclopedia or computer. But the answer wasn't always so easy to come by. It wasn't until 1852, during the Great Trigonometric Survey of India, that the mountain was recognized as the world's highest peak. As you can guess from the survey's name, math played a key role in the work of the surveyors.
Geographic specialists (including surveyors, cartographers, surveying technicians, and photogrammetrists) use math as well as computers, aerial photography, and even satellites to measure and map the globe. They also help construction teams and property owners find the best places to build.
Geoscientists
Geoscientists study the earth's structure and composition. They study its history and evolution, rocks, internal structure and core, oceans, and resources like gas and oil.
Rarely do we consider the earth as something active -- we usually think of it as a solid piece of rock. But in fact, it's a dynamic system with a lot going on. That's easy to see when there's an earthquake or a volcanic eruption. Geoscientists study our constantly changing planet. They pay special attention to the earth's physics and the chemical relationship between the core, crust, and atmosphere.
Geoscientists specialize in specific areas. Oceanographers, for instance, study the geology, biology, and chemistry of the oceans. Hydrologists study the way water circulates both on the earth's surface and underground. Seismologists study earthquakes and earthquake faults.
Graphic designers work with type and images to create the look for CD inserts, books, magazines, posters, catalogs, and other products. Some also design websites.
If you're fascinated by the differences between the fonts Times New Roman and Geneva -- or simply enjoy arranging photos on a page -- you may have a future in graphic design. One of the most practical paths for artsy people, graphic design requires not only a good eye but an ability to use the computer as a tool for achieving your vision.
Historians collect and interpret material from the past.
Historians look for the clues that tell us about the past. More important, they help us make sense out of it all. They may start by telling us the facts of everything from the travels of Lewis and Clark to the first moon landing, but they don't stop there.
Historians go on to answer questions about the importance of these events, their causes, and their effects. They make connections between the world as it was and the world as it is.
Illustrators create images for everything from books to greeting cards to advertisements. Many specialize, working mostly on children's books or medical illustrations, for example.
If drawing is your thing, take note: there are all kinds of avenues for illustrators. Whether used in medical textbooks, magazines, or children's books, illustrations inform, educate, amuse, and, sometimes, just make the world a prettier place. Talent alone is not enough in this highly competitive field, but if you're willing to work hard and apply your talents where they're needed, you may not be a starving artist for long.
Interior designers design and furnish interiors of residential, commercial, or industrial buildings.
Good interior designers are able to create indoor spaces that not only look good but also work well. That is, their designs suit the intended purpose of the room -- whether it's an office, a reception area, a child's playroom, or a beauty salon. Each of these spaces has its own purpose, from raising workers' productivity to providing a safe place for children to play, and therefore, its own design requirements.
Landscape architects design and create outdoor spaces using plants, trees, structures, and other natural and human-made elements.
Landscape architects create outdoor areas that beautify and accent the buildings they surround. But they do more than design around buildings. They also create large open spaces, such as parks and golf courses, and help conserve and restore natural resources, such as forests.
Landscape architects make these outdoor spaces user-friendly, sustainable, and pleasing to the senses. To do so, they draw on their knowledge of design, construction, ecology, botany, horticulture (the study and practice of growing plants), and soil science.
Management Consultants
Management consultants think about ways to increase a company's profits and productivity. Their goal is to make a business more successful and competitive.
Do you get a rush from solving a problem no one else can? Do people come to you for help and advice when they get into complicated situations? If so, you might be cut out for a career as a management consultant.
Companies and other organizations hire management consultants to help them solve some of their biggest problems. Whether they need to build a new website, design a new computer system, or launch a new product, they call on management consultants to save the day.
Materials Engineers
Materials engineers find ways to use and improve existing materials and then come up with new ones. They work with metals, ceramics and glass, plastics, and other natural and synthetic materials.
Did you ever wonder why rubber bands stretch and string doesn't? Which would help your golf game more, a club with a graphite shaft or one of steel? What makes something waterproof? Would you build a bridge in a cold climate out of the same material as you would in a hot place?
These are the kinds of questions that materials engineers answer. They find -- or make -- the right materials for the job.
Mathematicians
Mathematicians use mathematical theory, algorithms, and computers to solve problems in economics, science, engineering, and other fields.
When you think of a mathematician, you may imagine a gray-haired man standing in front of a chalkboard covered end to end with formulas. In fact, mathematicians come in all shapes and sizes. And they work with the latest computer technologies in fields as varied as business and physics.
There are two main groups of mathematicians. Theoretical mathematicians come up with new ways of thinking about quantities -- you can thank them for adding to the formulas and principles you learn in math class. Applied mathematicians, on the other hand, use math to solve practical problems in fields like computer science. The line that divides these two groups, however, often blurs.
Medical scientists conduct research on diseases, and on the viruses and bacteria that cause them, to develop vaccines and medications.
The world's population has grown exponentially -- from small scatterings of people to giant cities with millions of residents living side by side.
While living in large groups has its advantages, one disadvantage is that it allows diseases to spread more easily. And now, with the entire world connected by airplanes, contagious illnesses can spread across the ocean from one continent to another. Medical scientists do the research needed in the fight against disease.
Meteorologists are scientists who study the atmosphere. They examine its effects on the environment, predict the weather, or investigate climate trends.
We see them in action every evening as they forecast the future -- or at least tell us how likely it is to rain. They're meteorologists.
But most people in this profession do not work in front of a camera. The biggest employer of meteorologists is, in fact, a government agency, the National Weather Service. And there are also plenty of businesses that hire meteorologists to help them make decisions based on the weather. Those who don't forecast the weather conduct research, studying the atmosphere, climatic changes, or environmental problems.
Multimedia Artists and Animators
Multimedia artists and animators create images and special effects for movies, TV shows, cartoons, computer games, and more.
In the old days, artists drew everything by hand. Some still do. But many of the animated images and special effects you see today are computer-generated. That means there's a whole new breed of artist -- and a whole new career path to consider. With creativity and imagination, multimedia artists bring dazzling images and new sophistication to everything from cartoons to commercials.
Occupational Health and Safety Specialists
Occupational health and safety specialists promote better health and safety in work environments and prevent harm to workers and the general public. They also enforce air quality and environmental regulations.
As an occupational health and safety specialist, your job will be to make sure that working conditions are as safe as possible. You may inspect and enforce safety standards on assembly lines or protect workers against biohazardous waste in hospitals. You may inspect safety standards at nuclear power plants or within public schools.
The job may also require studying, redesigning, and updating working environments. And if an accident occurs, occupational health and safety specialists help investigate possible causes and recommend corrective action.
Occupational therapists help people who have learning disabilities, physical handicaps, illnesses, and other conditions master everyday tasks, from shopping for groceries to walking with crutches.
It takes enormous patience to work with the physically handicapped, the mentally ill, or anyone struggling with the tasks of daily life. But as an occupational therapist (OT), you can find great satisfaction in helping them live more independently.
Whether you're teaching a stroke survivor to use a walker, modifying school equipment for a disabled child, or helping the victim of a car accident to get behind the wheel again, one thing is certain: you'll make a difference.
Operations Research Analysts
Operations research analysts use math and computers to develop software and other tools that managers use to make decisions.
Imagine it's your job to put together this season's schedule for your favorite Major League Baseball team. Before you decide that's an easy job, consider these rules: Your team has to play 81 games at home and 81 games on the road. It has to play each of the teams in its division 19 times. And don't forget travel -- you can't have your team flying from the East Coast to the West Coast every other day.
Complex problems like this come up all the time. Operations research analysts find ways to solve them. Their work is used by managers in all sorts of industries, whether the goal is to schedule airline pilots to prevent dangerous fatigue or time traffic lights to prevent congestion.
Petroleum Engineers
Petroleum engineers search for oil and gas. They design ways to remove as much as possible from the earth and to turn it into fuel we can use.
The United States gets about 63 percent of its energy from oil and natural gas. That means that there's a constant race to find new sources of petroleum and natural gas, get them out of the earth, and process them.
Today's petroleum engineers are using the latest high-tech equipment to do just that. They keep homes heated, cars running, and stoves burning.
Pharmacists prepare and distribute medications prescribed by doctors and other health practitioners. They advise patients on the drugs they take and make sure that they avoid dangerous drug interactions.
When you imagine pharmacists at work, do you see them counting out pills and filling bottles? That's actually only a small part of a pharmacist's job.
These professionals play a key role in the treatment of disease. They advise both doctors and patients about the dosages, interactions, and side effects of medications. In fact, pharmacists don't only work at the corner drugstore. You'll also find them researching new medications for drug companies or monitoring drug therapy at hospitals, nursing homes, and mental health institutions.
Photographers use their artistic eye and technical know-how to capture the moment digitally or on film.
Photography careers come in as many shapes and sizes as photographs. Staff photographers work in settings that range from the newsroom to the portrait studio. Other photographers, such as those who work at weddings, run their own businesses.
There's a lot more to photography than pointing and shooting. You'll have to learn the technical ropes and develop an eye for the perfect picture. Competition for artsy careers like this one is always stiff, but if you don't mind putting in the hours, it might be worth a shot.
Physicists and Astronomers
Physicists study the laws and structures of all that exists in the universe, including gravity and other natural forces. Astronomers use physics to study space and the bodies within it, like planets and stars.
The Milky Way galaxy is a collection of billions of stars, including our planet, our moon, and our sun at its outer edge. Physicists and astronomers use the theories of physics to study the galaxy and everything in it, from the mysterious black holes that may result when giant stars collapse to the movement of electrons.
Of course, no one physicist or astronomer studies everything in the galaxy. If you choose this field, you'll specialize in an area such as nuclear physics or astrobiology. As an astronomer or physicist, you'll come up with your own theories and create experiments to see if they're correct.
Postsecondary Teachers
Postsecondary teachers instruct students in a wide range of academic and career-oriented subjects beyond the high school level. Such teachers include college and university professors, career and technical education instructors, and graduate teaching assistants.
A professor stands in a darkened auditorium before 150 scribbling students and projects images of paintings on a screen, commenting on each. In a small room on the other side of campus, a graduate student writes an equation on a chalkboard, asking for questions. Across town, a teacher surrounded by a gaggle of adults lifts the hood of a car to describe the engine. These scenes may differ, but the instructors share the same career: they're all postsecondary teachers.
Preserve Managers
Preserve managers oversee the care of land set aside to protect natural resources. They also represent preserve owners to the public.
Preserve managers care for land that's been set aside to protect natural resources, such as trees and animals. They use a wide range of skills, from a grasp of science to a talent for communication.
In this field, you'll oversee people who gather data on plants and animals and restore the land and water on your preserve. You'll write reports on research findings. And you'll deal with administrative duties, such as supervising staff, and write brochures and other materials for the public. You'll also get your hands dirty, repairing equipment, maintaining trails, and removing plants that aren't native to the area.
Science Technicians
Science technicians focus on the practical matters of scientific experimentation and research. They maintain equipment and instruments, record data, and help scientists calculate results and draw conclusions.
When you think of science, do you imagine a complex chemistry experiment complete with test tubes, beakers, and flasks? Or maybe you see a large radio telescope, scanning the sky for signs of alien intelligence.
Science technicians maintain complicated instruments like these and make sure that experiments run smoothly.
Special Education Teachers
Special education teachers teach children who have special learning needs or problems such as trouble speaking. Most teach students in elementary, middle, and high schools, though some work with infants and toddlers.
The fairy-tale author Hans Christian Anderson had dyslexia, a learning disability that makes reading difficult. Others who have struggled with dyslexia include Albert Einstein, Walt Disney, Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Cruise, and Magic Johnson. If you listed all the people with special learning needs who have made important contributions to society, you'd fill a book.
Do you love to help others? Are you tolerant of people who learn differently and sometimes behave differently? If so, you might consider becoming a special education teacher.
Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists
Speech-language pathologists and audiologists assess, diagnose, treat, and help to prevent speech and hearing problems caused by accidents, diseases, and genetic disorders.
A three-year-old boy, diagnosed with autism, has never uttered a word. A sixty-year-old woman is recovering from a severe stroke and must learn to speak again. Although you relate to them differently, you'll teach both language skills using many of the same techniques.
Speech-language pathologists and audiologists work not only with a variety of clients but also in a wide range of settings, including schools, hospitals, and doctors' offices. Some even choose to conduct research into speech and hearing.
Speech-Language Pathology Assistants
Speech-language pathology assistants help people with a range of speech problems.
You may find the stuttering cartoon character Porky Pig amusing, but to many children and adults who stutter, he's no joke. Speech-language pathology assistants work under the supervision of speech-language pathologists to help people control their stuttering or other speech problems. They work in settings that range from hospitals to schools, guiding clients through documented treatment plans.
Statisticians
Statisticians use math and computers to collect, study, and report on data.
Whether we know it or not, we rely on statisticians every day. A corporation that processes food, for example, might pay for a survey of families with two working parents to find out what new products they'd like to see in the frozen-food aisle. A drug company, on the other hand, must collect and study data when they test experimental drugs to make sure that they work and that they're safe. And at a TV network, statisticians can use a technique called sampling to discover what the whole country is watching just by surveying a small group of viewers.
And that's just in the business world. These masters of data can use their skills in fields as varied as medical research, public health, and economics.
Technical Writers
Technical writers create material, such as instruction manuals, related to science and technology.
Computer software and hardware, cars, stereos, and many other products come with instructions. Technical writers create operating instructions and other informational material, such as maintenance manuals, catalogs, parts lists, and assembly instructions.
This information not only allows consumers to use and maintain products easily and safely, but also protects manufacturers from being sued. If you enjoy writing and are curious about developments in science and technology, this field might be for you.
Urban and Regional Planners
Urban and regional planners help communities decide on the best use of land. They find places to build homes and businesses, deal with transportation issues, and study the environmental effects of possible projects.
It's a hot day, and you wish your town would hurry up and build that pool everyone keeps talking about. But where should it be built? What land is available? How will people get there? How would building it affect the local wildlife? What do you say to neighbors who worry about noise and traffic? As an urban or regional planner, it would be your job to help the town answer all of these questions -- and many more.
As the nation's population grows, so do our cities and suburbs. Planners play a key role in managing that growth. They help keep communities safe, livable places and work to improve them.
Veterinarians prevent, diagnose, and treat illness in small animals (such as cats and dogs), large animals (such as horses and cows), or both. They may also research diseases and their cures.
If you've ever pulled a thorn from a dog's paw, you know the satisfaction that comes from making an animal feel better. But if you've ever given a cat a pill, you also know that it's not easy to tell an animal what's best for it.
As a veterinary student, you'll learn about more than the health problems of animals. You'll also learn how to diagnose patients who can't explain their own symptoms.
You may be surprised to learn that people skills are a must for veterinarians. That's because for every animal a vet treats, there's a human standing by. In fact, one of the hardest things vets have to do is tell someone it's time to let go of a sick pet.
Web designers combine art skills with business savvy to create the look and feel, as well as structure, of websites that are both eye-pleasing and user-friendly.
Do you prefer Google or Yahoo? The websites in your "favorites" list are there for a reason -- probably a combination of visual appeal and usability. Creating that perfect combination is what Web designers do for a living. By using type (lettering), images, and other visual devices, Web designers create a digital playground where consumers can find the information they need while enjoying the ride.
Wildlife Technicians
Wildlife technicians perform many duties to gather data on animals and to carry out management plans for wildlife and natural areas.
Wildlife technicians do whatever it takes to help wildlife biologists and conservation scientists. These scientists make management decisions about wild animals and natural resources. Technicians help them gather data and carry out their plans.
As a wildlife technician, you might track, trap, and tag animals or take surveys of them from a small plane. You might plant native grasses to restore a natural area or extract eggs in a fish hatchery. You might travel on snowshoes, work on a boat, or handle an all-terrain vehicle. Whatever tasks you do, you'll help wildlife professionals make smart decisions that will affect the Earth's future.

Make the chocolate cream filling. In a sauce pan, whisk sugar, flour, corn starch and cocoa powder. Add egg yolks and mix well. Add milk gradually while stirring constantly.
Stir and cook mixture over medium heat. Just before the mixture boils, remove from heat, stir in butter, chocolate chips, vanilla extract and mix until dissolved. Transfer filling into a flat container, place plastic wrap directly on surface of the filling to prevent any skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.
When the DOUGH course completes, remove the dough and divide into 16 for the 2-lb. breadmaker, or into 10 for the 1-lb. breadmaker, and shape each piece into a ball. Cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
Shape doughs into horns. Grease each mold with butter (not in the ingredients) and set aside. Roll a dough into 12" long rope. Starting at the wide end of the mold, wrap dough around the mold, not too tightly, with 1/8" space between dough seams, to allow room for proofing. Tuck both ends under the dough spiral to keep dough from unraveling.
Place horns, pinched side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spritz with water and allow to double in size in a warm place (about 30-40 minutes at 95°F).
Brush with egg glaze. Bake in an oven preheated to 360°F for 13 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and place horns on a rack, allowing them cool until they are cool to the touch. Remove the molds and allow to cool completely.
Place chocolate cream filling from step 4 in a thick plastic bag. Cut the corner of the bag and squeeze into each hole of bread until full.

Long Bridge Park
With more than 36 acres of recreation and open space, Long Bridge Park is a distinctive showplace of environmentally sound redevelopment with a central expanse of attractive public green spaces and high-quality sports and recreation facilities, including the new Long Bridge Aquatics & Fitness Center, that are accessible to all park users. Long Bridge Park is conveniently located adjacent to nearby urban corridors and the Potomac River.
Located north of Crystal City adjacent to I-395, the park features three full-size, lighted, synthetic, multi-sport, rectangular fields, a network of walkways, an overlook with views of the national monuments, and a three-quarter acre rain garden that directs runoff from the park's sports fields and parking lot into a planted garden of native shrubs and perennials. Boeing Field #1 was partially funded by Marymount University and is used as the home field for Marymount's men's and women's soccer and lacrosse teams (permit takes priority).
The nearly ¾-mile long Esplanade overlooks the playing fields, the Potomac River and Roaches Run Waterfowl Sanctuary and is a great place for train, plane and bird watching. The walking loop at the northern end of the Esplanade also has outdoor fitness stations adjacent to the trail.
At the southern end of the park is a pre-school playground for children ages 2-5 and a school-age playground for children ages 5-12. This playground also has an interactive fog area that is unique among playgrounds in Arlington.
There are three works of public art in Long Bridge Park, all created by nationally recognized artist Doug Hollis. Wave Arbor is comprised of two structures that are composed of anodized aluminum, stainless steel, painted steel and solar powered LED lights. Each structure supports 22 kinetic wing-like elements. The "wings" move in response to the wind and allow light to pass through them, creating shadows below. Lights at the ends of each "wing" register the motion of the wind at night. Sky Column is composed of tapered masts of stainless-steel tubing in the form of a column that projects 50 feet high from the ground and appear to become one with the sky. At night, up-lights at the base of the artwork are programed to brighten and dim in response to real-time variations of the wind.
Long Bridge Park received the Best New Facility Award from the Virginia Recreation and Park Society in 2012.
Parking is metered Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Crystal City parking map lists all area garages and locations.
Conducting business services or activities for financial gain (such as classes, personal or group fitness training, dog exercise, or taking photographs or videos for commercial use) is strictly prohibited unless authorized by a County issued permit or contract.

Altered Dreams
Director : Michael Honsa
Altered Dreams is a short experimental film that explores a man, woman and snake's metamorphosis through a series of random events, portals and surrealistic laboratory settings, with structural film and sound elements.
The film was made in response to a Curtin University Experimental Screens Second Year unit, which required the synthesis of techniques incorporating cameraless filmmaking, rear and front projection, experimental sound approaches and governed by principles of Structural and Surrealist film approaches.
The final film is a rigorously structural film teaser/trailer for a hypothetical feature-length narrative, made entirely by two Curtin University Screen Arts second year students Michael Honsa and Jennifer Hill. Selected for screening as short film at UnderExposed: Adelaide Fringe Festival 2021 and monthly winner January 2021 Changing Faces International Film Festival (SYD).
Director Biography
Michael is a film writer and director born and bred in Perth, Western Australia, currently studying second year of Screen Arts Major at Curtin University. He has directed the short experimental film 'Altered Dreams', and his foal is to write and direct a major project for university and develop as much experience as possible. His dream is to write and direct a feature length Australian film.

Alexey Obolensky, Victoria Peshti, Yariv Kanfi, Haim Cohen, Eyal Banin; Age-Dependent Ocular Changes in Sirt6 Knockout Mice. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2013;54(15):6078.
Purpose: Sirtuins (Silent Information Regulator Two, Sirt)) are a family of proteins with histone deacetylase and/or mono-ribosyltransferase activity. Overexpression of sirtuins in many organisms promotes longevity, while their absence may cause early senescence. The purpose of the present study was to assess the role of Sirt6 in retinal aging.
Methods: Retinal function and structure were compared over the span of 10 months between three groups of mice: homozygous Sirt6-/- knockouts, heterozygous Sirt6+/- (hz), and normal wild type (wt) mice. At 1, 6 and 10 months of age, retinal function was evaluated by electroretinography (ERG) and quantitative histologic techniques were used to assess retinal structure.
Results: Sirt6-/- mice demonstrated a high rate of early postnatal lethality and were characterized by developmental retardation, low body weight and a short lifespan. By 5-6 months of age, severe corneal injury was often observed in Sirt6-/- mice including corneal scarring, vascularization, signs of stromal edema and inflammation. At 1 month of age Sirt6-/- mice demonstrated a trend toward lower dark-adapted b-wave amplitudes as compared with wt animals. At this time, no changes in outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness were found between wt and Sirt6-/- mice. However, at 6 months, dark adapted ERG responses were significantly (by 45% at highest stimulus intensity) reduced in Sirt6-/- animals compared with wt control. Cone function was also markedly affected, being 2.5-3-fold lower in Sirt6-/- mice. ONL thickness was significantly reduced in the central retina of Sirt6-/- mice (p<0.02) at this time point. At 10 months of age severe impairment of retinal function was observed in Sirt6-/- mice, with dark-adapted b-wave amplitudes reduced by 39% and cone-flicker ERG amplitudes reduced by 75% as compared with wt. Further thinning of the ONL not only in the central but also in the mid-peripheral and peripheral retina was evident, accompanied by thinning of other retinal layers. No significant differences were found in ERG amplitudes between wt and hz mice up to the age of 10 months.
Conclusions: Sirt6-/- mice demonstrate age-dependent corneal injury and impairment of retinal function accompanied by thinning of the ONL. The results may suggest a role for Sirt6 in maintaining survival and function of retinal cells over time.

FTC Weighs In On its Activities in Relation to IoT
FCC,Net Neutrality,App Development,Federal Trade Commission,IoT,Legislation
https://appdevelopermagazine.com/images/news_images/IoT-and-FCC-App-Developer-Magazine_gd4jd5gn.jpg
Richard Harris in IoT Sunday, March 1, 2015
What impact the recent FCC ruling on its regulatory control of the Internet through its net neutrality decision will have on the app development industry varies widely on who you ask. Everyone is going to have an opinion and its going to be an interesting ride.
However, maybe just as impactful will be the involvement of the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on the future of IoT. At the end of January, the FTC released a staff report providing insight into how the FTC will approach regulation of IoT.
Here is what the report says FTC will approach its efforts towards IoT:
Although the Commission currently has authority to take action against some IoT-related practices, it cannot mandate certain basic privacy protections – such as privacy disclosures or consumer choice – absent a specific showing of deception or unfairness. Commission staff thus again recommends that Congress enact broadbased (as opposed to IoT-specific) privacy legislation. Such legislation should be flexible and technology-neutral, while also providing clear rules of the road for companies about such issues as how to provide choices to consumers about data collection and use practices.
In the meantime, we will continue to use our existing tools to ensure that IoT companies continue to consider security and privacy issues as they develop new devices. Specifically, we will engage in the following initiatives:
- Law enforcement: The Commission enforces the FTC Act, the FCRA, the health breach notification provisions of the HI-TECH Act, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and other laws that might apply to the IoT. Where appropriate, staff will recommend that the Commission use its authority to take action against any actors it has reason to believe are in violation of these laws.
- Consumer and business education: The Commission staff will develop new consumer and business education materials in this area.
- Participation in multi-stakeholder groups: Currently, Commission staff is participating in multi-stakeholder groups that are considering guidelines related to the Internet of Things, including on facial recognition and smart meters. Even in the absence of legislation, these efforts can result in best practices for companies developing connected devices, which can significantly benefit consumers.
- Advocacy: Finally, where appropriate, the Commission staff will look for advocacy opportunities with other agencies, state legislatures, and courts to promote protections in this area.

Anthony Limbrick has the chance to add his own chapter to the Cards' FA Cup history with this tie against League One side Bury on Sunday afternoon. (Note that it is a 2pm kick-off.) Neither side has been in great form recently, with the visitors having sacked manager Lee Clark this week. But Cards fans know that their team can play a bit on their day and will be hoping that this game brings the best out of this young group of players. Come down to the Laithwaite Community Stadium to cheer them on!
The Woking physio will have had his work cut out this week as he tries to cope with an injury list that seems to get longer all the time. It's frustrating that just as players appear to be coming back from injury they pick up another knock and are also joined by fresh faces on the treatment table. Last Saturday the Cards ended up with only ten men on the field after injuries forced off Josh Staunton, Declan Appau (the scorer of a wonder goal on his full debut), Chez Isaac and Lazar Stojsavljevic. All that we can say for sure is that Kane Ferdinand will be definitely missing through suspension and that Louis Ramsay's injury will rule him out for some time yet.
Anthony will be trusting, above all, that Sunday won't see the repeat of the defensive slip-ups that have led to three consecutive defeats. Cards fans will be hoping to see their side get on the front foot and take the game to a team which won't be brimming with confidence.
The Cards defeated Concord Rangers in a 4th Qualifying Round Replay in extra time to reach the First Round Proper. The winners of Sunday's tie will pocket £18k in prize money.
The Shakers may be sitting one off the bottom of League 1 without an away win but shouldn't be underestimated. Although they have lost their last four league games, it's been by a single goal on each occasion and it's clear from reports that they were far from outplayed. In Jermaine Beckford they have a proven top-class goalscorer, who's already notched eight goals for the Shakers this season, and there are a number of other players who could cause problems for the Cards, including striker Chris Maguire and midfielder Danny Mayor, plus some very experienced 'old hands'.
Bury have a proud history but, like a number of other smaller Northern clubs, have found life harder in recent years. Following financial problems they were relegated to League 2 at the end of the 2000-01 season and only just escaped relegation to the Conference in 2006-07, sending Stockport County down instead. There was subsequently an upturn under managers Alan Knill and Richie Barker, who led the club back to League 1, before relegation occurred again in 2012-13. A third-place finish in 2014-15 returned the club to League 1 but it's been a struggle to survive at the higher level. A 16th place finish in 2015-16 was followed by 19th place last season, the recently-departed Lee Clark having taken over in February on his unexpected departure from Kilmarnock.
Clark and the Shakers' Chairman, Stewart Day, said pre-season that they were aiming for a top six finish but it's been a different story so far. The Shakers have won only three league games this season, all at home. Away from home, they have drawn two games and lost six, scoring eight goals and conceding sixteen. Their 1-0 defeat at home to Doncaster Rovers last Saturday was their fourth successive loss and proved the final straw for Clark. In fact, they did well to nearly hold out, having defender Eoghan O'Connell sent off in first-half stoppage time. He will of course miss Sunday's game. There may be doubts, too, about Beckford's fitness: he went off injured in the Doncaster game. Ryan Lowe, an iconic figure at Gigg Lane and now in his third spell at the club as Player Development Coach, has been handed the reins for this match.
Goalkeeping duties have been shared this season by highly-experienced Joe Murphy, who has made over 500 Football League appearances and won two caps for the Republic of Ireland, and 23-year-old Italian Leonardo Fasan, who signed from Celtic in the summer, having had a brief loan spell at Port Vale.
Defenders include Chris Humphrey, a Jamaican international, with over 400 appearances on his CV, including for Motherwell in the Champions League qualifiers and Preston North End; Phil Edwards, with over 500 appearances, including six successful seasons with Accrington Stanley and two promotions with Burton Albion; Tom Aldred, who also had a good spell with Accrington before making 75 appearances for Blackpool; Callum Reilly, who made 60 appearances for Birmingham City and was part of the Burton Albion side which won promotion to the Championship; Nathan Cameron, formerly with Coventry; Joe Skarz, who returned to the club in the summer, having previously achieved promotion with Bury, Rotherham and Oxford; and Alex Whitmore, a central defender on loan from Burnley.
In midfield, in addition to Danny Mayor, Clark can call on: Jay O'Shea, signed in the summer from Chesterfield in spite of an offer from Sheffield United; Rohan Ince, brought in on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion to replace the injured Stephen Dawson; Andrew Tutte, formerly with Manchester City's Academy and Rochdale; Josh Laurent, on loan from Wigan; and 19 year-old Romanian, Mihai-Alexandru Dobre, on loan from Bournemouth.
Up front, in addition to 33-year-old Beckford, whose previous clubs include Leeds, Everton and Leicester City in a career of nearly 400 appearances and over 160 goals, the Shakers' strikers include Chris Maguire, who joined in the summer from Oxford. Maguire played over 150 games for Aberdeen and won two full Scottish caps before a £400k move to Derby. Nicky Ajose is in his third loan spell at Gigg Lane. An ex-Manchester United youngster, he notched 13 goals in 28 appearances in his first loan spell and scored 25 goals for Swindon in 40 games before moving to Charlton. Harry Bunn arrived in the summer from Huddersfield, where he scored 17 goals in 88 appearances. Michael Smith, a 6'4" striker, also joined in the summer, having played for a number of League clubs, with his longest spell at Swindon Town.

The game will be segregated, with Bury fans allocated the open Chris Lane Terrace (standing) and part of the seated Leslie Gosden Stand.
The Cards are away to FC Halifax Town the following Saturday (11 November). If there is a need for a replay against Bury, it will take place on Tuesday 14 November. The Cards' next home league game is against Maidenhead United on Saturday 18 November, with another home game, against Ebbsfleet United, quickly following on Tuesday 21 November.
P.S. Cards Trust members are reminded that the Trust's AGM is being held at 7.30pm on Wednesday 8 November.
The November drizzle broke at just the right time for home fans hoping for a grand day out in the First Round proper of the FA Cup, with Woking grinding out a 1-1 draw against a Bury side struggling for form two leagues above them in the rare winter sunshine. Despite conceding after just 42 seconds through Michael Smith, the Cards were on terms by half time thanks to a Jamie Philpott header, and outshot their football league opposition in a game that both sides had good chances to win.
Woking came into the game on a poor run of form having lost three of the last five, with last week's 3-2 defeat to a struggling Guiseley side a particularly difficult pill to swallow. The absences of Kane Ferdinand through suspension and Josh Staunton through injury made things more difficult still, despite strong replacements in Joey Jones and Richard Orlu respectively. Despite this, Chez Isaac managed to overcome a knock that forced him off in the aforementioned defeat to start the game, and Anthony Limbrick's decision to start both strikers available to him suggested a real optimism about the afternoon.
Such optimism was potentially inspired by the difficult circumstances that the opposition found themselves facing. Bury made five changes from the 1-0 defeat against Doncaster that finalised the sacking of Lee Clark, which included top scorer Jermaine Beckford - who had scored more than half of the Shakers' goals so far this season. The visitors had only won one game away from home all season, and looked to curb a run of four straight defeats that had seen them drop to 23rd in League 1.
Within a minute of kickoff, they looked well on their way to doing so, opening the scoring with a goal equal parts tragic and comic. Bury's passing fashioned space for full back Glenn Leigh down the left hand side, and the Manchester City graduate was able to float a cross in past Matt Young. The ball was dangerous enough for Joey Jones to attempt to head it behind, only for the clearance to fall short, and arc gracefully onto the Woking bar. With Baxter beaten, the ball dropped perfectly for visiting forward Michael Smith, who knew he'd scored well before he rolled the ball into an unguarded net. Just 42 seconds in, Woking had gifted a goal to a team 33 places above them in the football pyramid, and had a psychological mountain to climb.
Understandably, there followed a cagey period of the game where the Cards did their best to gain control and assert themselves, whilst Bury did their best to pick off the home side – who are developing a reputation for possession football - on the counter. The high press that Bury utilised meant that Woking had to work the ball wide to find any creative outlets, whilst a fluid shape with overlapping fullbacks made it difficult for Woking to press themselves. Leigh continued to threaten down the left with strong overlapping runs and a few pulse-raising crosses, and looked one of the most dangerous outlets for the visitors in the early stages. A shot just wide from Joe Ward, skittering across the goal of Leo Fasan, was the only riposte for the home side in the first 20 minutes.
However, Woking began to find space more regularly after surviving the opening pressure, with Regan Charles-Cook and Joe Ward combining well to create an opening for Matt Young that looked particularly dangerous. Growing into the game, the Cards were looking shift momentum in their favour, and did so soon after with a fantastic equaliser.
A quick throw in from Nathan Ralph on the left-hand side found Charles-Cook just to the left of central midfield, and the Charlton loanee looked up before arcing a beautiful early cross over the Bury defence and onto the head of Jamie Philpott. The youngster leaped well to smash a header into the top corner across Fasan, who was given no chance. The KRE exploded into noise and green flare smoke; after an early setback, Woking were level in style, and from that point on looked the more dangerous side in the first half.
It could have been even better just a few minutes later, had a great finish not been ruled out for a foul by Joey Jones. Joe Ward's vicious corner found the Woking stalwart on hand to bullet a header past Fasan, only for the goal to be discounted for a push in the build-up. Further efforts from Ward, Philpott, and a scuffed shot from Effiong after great footwork were the further reward for a side in the ascendancy against their league opposition, with little danger from the visitors in response. The home side would have been disappointed to hear the half-time whistle, which ended an excellent period of play after such an early blow.
The second half saw a change in system from Bury, who moved from their fluid five-at-the-back system to a more conventional back four in an attempt to get a better hold of possession, and to break Woking down higher up the field. The Cards, on the back of a good showing, remained unchanged.
Within a few minutes of the restart, they could have been ahead. Following some good movement of the ball across the park, the ball was worked out to Ward on the left-hand side of goal. The young winger cut inside his marker and smashed a low shot at goal which Fasan could only parry, but the ricochet bounced just beyond the outstretched leg of Jones, who was lurking for the rebound.
Despite this early chance, the change in system seemed to benefit Bury in the early stages. After a promising close to the first half, Woking retained their possessive dominance, but were unable to create as freely as they had done. However, their ball-winning ability remained at an extremely high level, with Bury not managing to create at all in the early stages of the half. Special mention should go to Jordan Wynter, who was immaculate in his work at center-back with several important challenges, and Chez Isaac, whose packhorse role in the middle of the park was pivotal to Woking's ability to move the ball up the field.
When their first chance came, it was one of the biggest of the afternoon, and something of a sitter for the unfortunate Inih Effiong. The 6'3 target man, serenaded by sections of the home support after the game for his running of the line, managed to bring a long ball from central midfield down on his chest, before attempting to lay in Philpott breaking the line beside him. Philpott was thwarted by Leigh, but only just - the clearance knocked the ball up into the air above the box, and dropped back to an onrushing Effiong just 7 yards from goal. His finish, however, embodied the frustrations of a forward who hasn't scored since September 2nd; a stooping header that missed the target entirely.
As the half wore on, Woking began to lose a little impetus in their play, and Bury began to create with more regularity and some impressive movement of the ball. Andrew Tutte and Mihai Dobre both looked strong offensive outlets for the visitors, making Nathan Baxter work on multiple occasions with dangerous efforts from range. Maguire continued to provide danger from set pieces, and Woking had to work hard to maintain their grip on possession and their position in the game.
The introduction of Declan Appau for a tiring Charles-Cook was an important boost for the Cards. The 18 year old could have had an FA Cup winner to go alongside his Goal of the Month nomination, taking down a throw from the left wing and cutting inside smartly between Tutte and Jordan Williams, only for his goalbound effort to be denied by a smart block from Tom Aldred.
However, his effort was the last real moment of offensive quality from either side. Both Maguire and Ward provided sub-par set pieces for in the closing stages, and a stratospheric spinning volley from Effiong just before the final whistle was the only direct effort at goal Woking managed for the remainder of the game.
The final whistle, then, brought positives and negatives for both sides. Had Woking managed to capitalise on some fantastic football and impressive work in possession, they would be celebrating victory against one of their biggest opponents in recent history, and looking forward to the Second Round of the FA Cup. They rode out difficult moments, particularly in the early stages, and managed the game well throughout.
The manner of their performance may make a great result against a team two divisions above them less favourable - but on the other hand, had it been offered before the game had started, few would have turned it down. The Cards now look forward to a replay at Gigg Lane for their hard work, and if they can manage a performance of the same magnitude, their hopes of progression may not be unrealistic.
Sponsors' Man of the Match: Chez Isaac. You'd never know he was coming back from injury – the midfielder was a cornerstone of Woking's build-up play, and harassed the opposition through the middle all day long. A strong performance from the captain.

Limited Occlusal Adjustment refers to the process of equilibrating, or evening out, the patient's bite so that the teeth and jaws can function with improved harmony. It is usually used to remove an interference which might be causing a tooth to be sore or loose. Sometimes limited occlusal adjustment will help with TMJ Dysfunction symptoms also.
Full occlusal adjustment involves removing interferences all around the mouth so that the teeth come together evenly and fully when the jaw is in its favored position. At this time we do not do full occlusal adjustments; if a patient needs this treatment, we refer to dentists with advanced training in this technique.


At the present time, the cost of living in Ecuador is at least twice less than that of other industrialized nations. Locally grown food and locally made commodities can be found at a fraction of the price of similar items in North America and Western Europe. Prices for imported food items and imported goods such as furniture, appliances, vehicles, machinery or high-end materials are similar or sometimes greater than what one would expect to pay in North America and Western Europe. According to the many comments we receive from our clients and from other sources such as International Living, if you eat fresh local food, don't care about fashion label brands or the latest technological gadgets and if you take advantage of the well established public transportation system, you will definitely live better for less in Ecuador.
Either in a restaurant or at the grocery store, prices are particularly low. You can have an almuerzo (lunch) in a beachside restaurant or on a Malecon (boardwalk), including soup, main course, dessert and beverage for prices as low as $2.50. In small beachside restaurants, for example, in Santa Marianita, you can enjoy a cold beer for as little as $1. Seafood lovers can indulge in a large plate of fresh local seafood or fish for $5 to $10, or a tasty filet mignon for about $7, depending on the type of restaurant and the location. Indeed, the tourist zones and commercial streets in big cities can be more expensive.


I went out Saturday in search of flowing water. At this time of year, it's not hard to find.
I like to use long exposure times to convey a sense of motion with the water. The first few photos are all of the same stream, but different points along the way.
Last weekend I spent some time hanging out near the old site of Crescent and hiked down to South Boulder Creek. The willows and other shrubs along the shores haven't leafed out yet, but the grasses are starting to grow. The wildflowers are getting a late start this year: First due to drought, then due to wet and gray days.
I had been across it dozens of times on bike, on foot, and in 4×4, but never realized it was there. An aqueduct. The reason I had noticed it this time were the recent signs of machinery used to clear the ditch of debris and vegetation.
I followed it to the north where it joined up with a stream and a diversion. Then I followed it south where it became elevated as it crossed a gulch. The water sitting in it was still half-frozen.

Q: GCC arm-none-eabi (Codesourcery) and C++ Exceptions I am using Raisonance's Ride7/Codesourcery (a.k.a Sourcery CodeBench Lite) with an STM32F4 board developing a bare metal HMI platform.
I will be making use of C++ exceptions in this system, but any exception I throw ends with a "Terminate called recursively" error written to stderr.
Code to reproduce the problem:
(main.cpp)
int main(void)
{
    try {
        throw 1;
    }
    catch (...) {
        printf("caught");
    }
}

I've already tried Raisonance and other sources for a resolution, and have not received any actionable help.
Potential problem/solution 1:
I've asked on other forums and they mention I need to call static constructions in my startup assembly file to initialize the unwind tables (at least that's what I think they are talking about), but I have no idea how to do this.
Potential problem/solution 2
I have also discovered a bug in binutils/gas that may be the source of my problems here (http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13449).  I've been trying to build my own version of the toolchain with this patch, but that's turning into a project of its own, and have not yet succeeded.
The Question
Do I need to do something in code to make use of C++ exceptions, or is this likely a bug in the toolchain?  If the former, please elaborate.

A: After some persuasion that shouldn't have been necessary, Raisonance finally came through with a modification to their default linker script that fixed the problem.  It may not be legal for me to post the entire linker script, but here's the knowledge that one needs to know
Add this to the .text section
*(.eh_frame)

Add these sections (name YourMemory according to the memory blocks you've set up in your linker script.  Mine was Flash)
.ARM.extab :
{
    *(.ARM.extab* .gnu.linkonce.armextab.*)
} >YourMemory

.ARM :
{
    __exidx_start = .;
    *(.ARM.exidx*)
    __exidx_end = .;
} >YourMemory

Ensure this line occurs in the bss section
*(.bss*)

While on this quest, I ran across the following useful resources

i'm curious to make this one… could you show me how to setting long exposure mode for my OM-D?
Inna, the practice is simple. On the top of the camera on the left side, rotate the function knob to the M position (manual). Now the aperture and shutter speed is controlled by the 2 right hand knobs. Rotate the shutter speed to a MUCH SLOWER value, say a starting point of 3 seconds and adjust the aperture for the proper meter reading. You can also place the function knob in the T mode which will allow you to set the shutter speed and the camera will set the aperture. You will likely need a 6 stop ND filter on the lens to further slow the camera down.
