Why I Love My Job-The Series Continues

Job Snapshot:
Kim M. Fields is Director of Career Services at Wake Forest University School of Law in Winston-Salem, NC. She oversees a staff of five professionals in the Office of Career Services, developing and supervising career programs for nearly 500 law students. She advises students and alumni on job search strategy and career development and also helps market the law school to employers in the legal community. She reports to an associate dean, who reports to the dean of the law school. Kim has worked in her field for nearly 17 years—just over five years in her current position and 11+ years in a similar position at another law school.

Here’s what Kim had to say about her job and why she LOVES it.

AMA: What do you love about your job?
Kim Fields: It’s different every day. It provides me with the opportunity to be creative and to try new things, meet new people, work on projects, and to continually stretch myself in doing things I’m not always comfortable doing. So my job still remains challenging.

AMA: What do you do to make your job more enjoyable?
KF: I guess it would be keeping a sense of humor, of not taking myself too seriously. But of course you have to be careful about the image you project, or others won’t take you seriously either. So that’s a balance you have to create. The other key factor is that the people I work with are so great. The staff in my office is wonderful and the people at the school are just fabulous to work with, very caring about the student body.

What about your job gives you the greatest satisfaction?
KF: Being able to help people—the students and alumni—helping them find work that they really will enjoy as much as I enjoy my job and career. It’s also satisfying to be able to help turn around those people who are frustrated with the whole process, to help them find something to focus on so they can get to where they want to be.

AMA: What’s the market like out there for your law school graduates?
KF: It’s gotten better recently. Even though we’re a small school—we graduate only150–160 students each year—our graduates go all over the country. That’s a challenge as well, trying to help people find employment in other markets.

AMA: Let’s talk about work/life balance. It seems to be a pretty important factor in job satisfaction. Do you feel you’ve achieved a good work/life balance? If yes, what tips can you share with others who want to have a better balance between their work and personal life?
KF: That’s not a good question for me! I work 50 hours a week or more. But a lot of the time I choose to stay. It’s not that I’m forced to; it’s a choice I make. I think I choose not to have work/life balance. There are people in my office who do have work/life balance and I try to promote it for the people that I supervise. But I have to say I find it hard myself, because I get so caught up in what I do and I enjoy it so much that it’s hard sometimes to draw the line. I think it’s a give and take, depending on what the needs are at a given moment. Sometimes you spend more time with your family, sometimes you spend more time at the office. I don’t think it’s ever really balanced.

AMA: What advice do you have for young people who are just entering the work force?
KF: I think Bill Gates said it best in a recent commencement address. He said that there is no fast way to achieve success. Often young people expect instant gratification and they may become frustrated with certain processes they have to go through on the road to success. My advice to students is that it’s important to develop social skills, to learn how to work with different kinds of people and different generations. As we continue to focus on technology as our primary means of communication, we are in danger of our interpersonal skills becoming more obsolete. I believe those traits will be sought after even more in the future because a lot of young people are uncomfortable in social situations. They’ve become so used to communicating via e-mail and text messaging. They are much more apt to send an e-mail than to pick up the phone and call someone. They also need to learn about what’s appropriate in various situations. For example, a younger person may call someone by his or her first name in an interview, which is not considered proper by someone from the older generation.

AMA: What advice would you give to young people regarding loving your job and finding career satisfaction?
KF: I think the key to career satisfaction is self-evaluation, determining what you really like, what your interests are, and what’s of value to you. You need to identify your skills early, finding out which skills you like to use and which you don’t. Once you find that—and it could be through shadowing someone, having an internship, working a summer job, or even going to work with mom or dad—you can take that information and explore the kinds of jobs that you will enjoy. The job search is much easier once you know what you’re looking for.

I always ask my students, if they’re not interested in practicing law, what does their bookcase look like? They look at me as if I’ve got three heads, but it gives insight into what they’re interested in. To this day, I continue to buy books about career development and helping people meet their goals.

AMA: To sum up, if I asked you to fill in the sentence: “I love my job because…” what would you say?
KF: That’s hard, because there are so many things I like about my job. I’d have to say I love my job because it’s challenging, in a good way, and it’s rewarding because I get to help people do what they want to do.

amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research

The TREAT Asia Report Interview: Laurindo Garcia

Be the Change This International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia

treat-asia-interview-5-2015.jpg1Laurindo GarciaFilipino HIV advocate Laurindo Garcia is the founder and chief executive of B-Change, an international social enterprise group aiming to promote social change through technology, with a focus on engaging and advocating for young LGBT in the Asia-Pacific. He is also a global ambassador for the ‘Here I Am’ campaign, which uses the voices and stories of people living with HIV to call upon world leaders to fully fund the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Garcia regularly speaks about his advocacy work and life as a gay man living with HIV at international AIDS events and conferences, including the 2012 and 2014 International AIDS Conferences.

TREAT Asia Report: HIV rates are rapidly rising among young men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender individuals in the Philippines and throughout the Asia-Pacific. What do you think advocates in the region should do on International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT), 17 May, and every day to combat the homophobia and transphobia that continue to fuel the spread of HIV?

Laurindo Garcia: There’s no one single way that homophobia and transphobia manifest themselves in Asia, there are multiple ways—I guess that’s the complexity of hate. But one is that it reduces the political will to fight HIV. While there may be tacit agreement among lawmakers that HIV is an issue, we’re not seeing the policy changes needed, and I think a big reason for that is some lawmakers think that LGBT people are immoral, and therefore they don’t act.

Also, LGBT people often cannot access education or employment, and this has a direct impact on their ability to stay healthy, get tested, or seek treatment. And finally, I think one of the most significant ways homophobia fuels HIV is by causing internalized homophobia, which has an impact on the way that people make choices. If you put yourselves in the shoes of a young person growing up in a remote part of the Philippines, or Southeast Asia, or greater Asia, and you’re not seeing a lot of positive images of LGBT people, you may ignore health messaging or not access services because you are afraid of being seen as different.

I think the simplest way to combat all this is still visibility. I know that not everybody has the ability to do this, but for people who are able to, coming out, speaking to your parents, speaking to your friends, letting people know who you are, letting them see your true self, is an incredibly powerful way to change hearts and minds. Because things aren’t going to change until we humanize these issues and people can see that LGBT issues and HIV issues are actually touching everybody in our communities.

Laurindo Garcia and his partner, Alan Seah, in Singapore
Laurindo Garcia and his partner, Alan Seah, in Singapore

TA Report: Why did you decide to publicly come out as gay and HIV positive despite the stigma and discrimination?

Garcia: The thing that had prevented me from being more open about my HIV status was fear of not being able to see my partner, who lives in Singapore, because of HIV travel restrictions. But then my status was discovered while I was applying for a work visa, and I was banned from the country. It was then, after my worst fear had come true, that I finally realized, okay, well, there’s no point in hiding anymore. Let’s do something about this.

Because as much as we have allies, as much as we have HIV-positive straight men and women speaking publicly about the needs of HIV-positive people, I think that the story of being gay and HIV positive is incredibly important. But unfortunately we don’t see enough gay men or trans men and women speaking openly about being HIV positive. And so with the benefits of my partner and my family being 100% supportive, and having learned about my rights by working in the HIV response across Southeast Asia, I felt empowered to speak up.

The first time I spoke publicly was at the AIDS Candlelight Memorial in Manila in 2011, and then it just went from there. And part of the reason I kept on doing it was that people would come up to me and say, “You’ve given me hope by speaking up. You made me feel that I’m not alone.” And because I am now a vocal HIV activist and am able to contribute to the HIV response in Singapore, I was able to appeal for entry on a special case basis and my appeal was granted.

TA Report: How is B-Change using technology and social media to reach young MSM and transgender individuals with HIV information?

Garcia: In the past, I think most public health advocacy work done online has used social media and the Internet as a mass media distribution channel to send messages out to many, but as a one-way conversation. So we’re still playing catch-up to what the private sector has done with social media, through sites like Facebook and Twitter.

At B-Change, we are trying to explore what else could be done with these new technologies by maintaining engagement with target audiences or target groups over a longer period of time and giving them information in a format that is most meaningful to them. And we are getting increasingly better at motivating people to go from online action to offline action, meaning, in this case, taking up HIV testing or adhering to treatment or staying in the continuum of care.

Over the last year, we’ve been beta testing our interventions, and we have formative data that tells us that young LGBT people and HIV-positive MSM see these types of online services as a need that they’re looking for. This month, we’re starting to scale up our peer support web apps so we can promote them in five cities across Southeast Asia—Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Manila—and validate these theories.

TA Report: How are the platforms you’ve developed through B-Change helping community-based advocates and organizations grow and learn from one another?

Garcia: In addition to improving linkages to HIV services, we are also developing web-based tools that can help community-based organizations (CBOs) and service providers strengthen the quality of their online outreach. We’ve been doing consultancy for the past four years, but starting this year, we’re providing much more robust tools to help CBOs and service providers improve their capacities by connecting and sharing knowledge with their peers.

We’re focusing on the Asia-Pacific because it’s where we come from and can have the most impact, but we are also sharing our services and what we know with organizations in other developing regions, such as the Middle East, North Africa, and Latin America. I think South-South collaboration allows people with common experiences who understand the environments that we live in—as opposed to people from the West—to work together to improve our communities.

TA Report: As a global ambassador for the ‘Here I Am’ campaign, how did you work to encourage nations in general, and the Philippines in particular, to prioritize support for the Global Fund to AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria?

Garcia: The ‘Here I Am’ campaign is an initiative of the Global Fund Advocates network, and their primary mission is to make sure that we have a fully funded Global Fund. As an ambassador for the campaign, my job was really just to humanize the whole debate and speak about the fact that I’m alive because I have access to HIV treatment and services, and what this and the Global Fund mean for my community.

Ambassadors are deployed to speak in parliaments, the European Commission, or others places where decisions are being made about funding the Global Fund. And time and time again, I heard that when all of the technocratic speak had ended, the thing that really sealed the deal and ensured support was the ‘Here I Am’ ambassador—which just goes to underscore the power of stories in advocacy work.

Laurindo Garcia speaks during a plenary session at the 2014 International AIDS Conference in Melbourne, Australia.
Laurindo Garcia speaks during a plenary session at the 2014 International AIDS Conference in Melbourne, Australia.

TA Report: How do you think the Global Fund and other large donor institutions could manage their funding to improve local and national responses to HIV among key populations?

Garcia: We need to ensure that the funding goes to where the epidemics are and to the people who are in greatest need. And around the world, we’re still seeing the greatest rise in infection rates among MSM and trans people. We’re also still seeing a rise in rates among sex workers, people who inject drugs, prisoners, and other people at the margins of society.

And if we’re going to make sure that funds are getting to these key populations, then we need to improve the data we’re collecting about them on the ground. For example, we’re not getting disaggregation data on MSM and transgender people, and that’s a key thing that needs to change. Another thing is better ensuring that community groups are being strengthened. Because if there is still lingering resistance to acknowledging or providing services to key populations, there are going to be certain discrepancies in the quality of the data—and who better to be a watchdog than the communities themselves?

Plus, we’ve still got a long way to go for community-based care to be fully integrated into health responses. We know there’s a lot of resistance coming from ministries of health and doctors who don’t want to let go of the reins or make adjustments to regulatory environments to enable community-based care. And yet, in the cases where community-based care is available, the LGBT community reports that these are the best-quality services available.

TA Report: What’s next for B Change and your advocacy work?

Garcia: At B-Change, we’re currently increasing our capacity and partnerships to improve our ability to scale up our online services. The other big thing on our advocacy agenda is improving adolescents’ and young people’s access to services. The message needs to be made loud and clear that adolescents have a right to health and sexual rights, so that young people, including young LGBT, are able to seek sexual health services and testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) without the consent of their parents. As an example of why we need this, in the Philippines, the legal age of consent is 12, but you have to be 18 to get an HIV test. So in 2013, we started a five-year strategy called Connecting the Dots to engage and empower young people in the region.

Could Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly be heading to CNN to host a prime-time show that would air directly opposite, well, you know who?

A breathless story topping — under the headline “Kelly May Jump” — says CNN chief Jeff Zucker is “actively perusing” Kelly to anchor an 8 p.m. weeknight series or a 9 p.m. one (“The Kelly File” currently airs at 9).

Besides use of the tepid word “perusing,” Drudge’s story, posted late Thursday morning, does offer a further qualification: CNN almost certainly will not, or cannot, come up with Kelly’s (widely reported) $20 million salary demand, or a standing Fox News offer that reportedly sweetens even that figure. (CNN will offer other inducements, including platforms on other Time Warner properties, per Drudge.)

Nevertheless, Drudge has particularly close ties to Fox News, and there’s nothing to suggest that “perusing” is not the right word either.

To believe other reports in recent months — some equally out of breath — Kelly has held meetings with ABC News.

Indeed, many observers always assumed CNN to be waiting — or lurking — just offstage, too. Even if cast in the role of potential spoiler, CNN could force up Kelly’s market value — and the cost to Fox News. And if CNN is serious about a Kelly prime-time role, the theatrical value alone of such a cross-network jump would fill columns and websites for months — columns and websites, by the way, that have been deprived a high-stakes, big-dollar TV news talent war for years.

Sarah Ellison, Vanity Fair’s beat writer on the Kelly stakes, in October offered one of the more interesting takes, however. Confirming via a “CNN insider” that “of course we would love to have her [but] it is not something we are seriously considering,” she went on to report that the scramble for Kelly’s services has yet to materialize. The compelling reason: The (reported) price tag is simply too high. Per reports, yet to be confirmed by NBC News, Matt Lauer renewed his contract at “Today” earlier this fall for $20 million per year over a two-year span. (Page Six first had that figure.) But if true, that would represent a moderate decline from his current salary — reported a few years ago to be in the $25 million range.

Lauer’s role, however, is singular compared to the role Kelly would hypothetically assume, if she were to jump to CNN: He is co-anchor of the most profitable franchise on television, and remains a key part of the “Today” show’s continued run at “Good Morning America.”

By contrast, a Kelly show opposite “The O’Reilly Factor” at 8 p.m. faces all sorts of intriguing questions, or obstacles, most notably this: “Factor” remains the most viewed program on cable news by a comfortable margin, challenged only by “The Kelly File” at 9. Would a Kelly-CNN show experience a big slide if it were to air at 8?

Conversely, would it cut into “The O’Reilly Factor,” a huge blow for Fox?

There’s another reason why all of this remains in the realm of speculation and idle industry chatter: Kelly’s contract at Fox News does not end until next July. Eight months is hardly an eternity, but still plenty of time for Kelly — and everyone else — to sort this out.

Bike the Drive

This post originally appeared at, where I am a contributing writer.

Lake Shore Drive is one of the most fantastic expressways in the world. Memorialized even in song, it's simply wonderful to drive on LSD, along the stunning Chicago lakefront, on a fine summer day. Once a year, the cars are brushed aside for bikes at the annual Bike the Drive, one of the best bike rides in the nation and an excellent way to kick off summer. If your family likes to bike, this is a don't miss summer event.

Bike the Drive will give you the chance to ride safely and smoothly at your own pace. It isn't a competition but rather a chance to ride along this normally trafficked highway and enjoy the scenery along the way. Kids are welcome. You can start biking as early as 5:30 a.m., when LSD will be closed to cars, and bike five hours, until 10:15 a.m. Find the full guide to the route here.

The round-trip distance encompasses 30 scenic miles, with the northern turnaround point at Bryn Mawr Avenue and the southern turnaround at 57th Street. There are three rest stops along the route, where you'll find light snacks and water - keep waste to a minimum by bringing your own water bottle. The post-ride festival at Butler Field near the central rest stop will feature live music, breakfast and sponsor contests

Registration fees start at $47 for adults and $16 for kids under 17. All proceeds from Bike the Drive support the Active Transportation Alliance, with 86 cents out of every dollar raised going directly back into advocacy efforts that make Chicago a better place for biking and walking. Don't have a bicycle? Rent one the day of the event!

Remember to wear your helmets. And be sure to check out Bike the Drive's guide to kid bike safety at Take this fun quiz before you go, so you're all on the same safety page as a family.

This year's ride takes place on Sunday, May 24. To register, or for more information, visit

During the days of the original Phenom, AMD started the trend of offering more cores than Intel at a given price point. Intel had the Core 2 Duo, AMD responded with the triple core Phenom X3. As AMD’s products got more competitive, the more-for-less approach didn’t change. Today AMD will sell you three or four cores for the price of two from Intel.

In some situations, this works to AMD’s benefit. The Athlon II X3 and X4 deliver better performance in highly threaded applications than the Intel alternatives. While Intel has better performance per clock, you can’t argue with more cores/threads for applications that can use them.

When Intel announced its first 6-core desktop processor, the Core i7 980X at $999, we knew a cheaper AMD alternative was coming. Today we get that alternative, this is the Phenom II X6 based on AMD’s new Thuban core:

It’s still a 45nm chip but thanks to architecture and process tweaks, the new Phenom II X6 still fits in the same power envelope as last year’s Phenom II X4 processors: 125W.

Update: AMD tells us that it gave us the wrong pricing on the 1090T. The part sells for $295, not $285, in 1000 unit quantities.

CPU Specification Comparison
Processor Clock Speed Max Turbo L2 Cache L3 Cache TDP Price
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2GHz 3.6GHz 3MB 6MB 125W $295
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz 3.3GHz 3MB 6MB 125W $199
AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE 3.4GHz N/A 2MB 6MB 125W/140W $185
AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE 3.2GHz N/A 2MB 6MB 125W $165
AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0GHz N/A 2MB 6MB 95W $155
AMD Phenom II X4 925 2.8GHz N/A 2MB 6MB 95W $145

You also don’t give up much clock speed. The fastest Phenom II X6 runs at 3.2GHz, just 200MHz shy of the fastest X4.

When Intel added two cores to Nehalem it also increased the L3 cache of the chip by 50%. The Phenom II X6 does no such thing. The 6 cores have to share the same 6MB L3 cache as the quad-core version.

The Phenom II X6 die. Monolithic, hexa-core

There’s also the issue of memory bandwidth. Intel’s Core i7 980X is paired with a triple channel DDR3 memory controller, more than enough for four cores under normal use and enough for a six core beast. In order to maintain backwards compatibility, the Phenom II X6 is still limited to the same dual channel memory controller as its quad-core predecessor.

CPU Specification Comparison
CPU Codename Manufacturing Process Cores Transistor Count Die Size
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Thuban 45nm 6 904M 346mm2
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Deneb 45nm 4 758M 258mm2
Intel Core i7 980X Gulftown 32nm 6 1.17B 240mm2
Intel Core i7 975 Bloomfield 45nm 4 731M 263mm2
Intel Core i7 870 Lynnfield 45nm 4 774M 296mm2
Intel Core i5 670 Clarkdale 32nm 2 384M 81mm2
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Deneb 45nm 4 758M 258mm2

The limitations are nitpicks in the grand scheme of things. While the 980X retails for $999, AMD’s most expensive 6-core processor will only set you back $285 and you can use them in all existing AM2+ and AM3 motherboards with a BIOS update. You're getting nearly 1 billion transistors for $200 - $300. Like I said earlier, it’s not about absolute performance, but performance at a given price point.

AMD 2010 Roadmap
CPU Clock Speed Max Turbo (<= 3 cores) L3 Cache TDP Release
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2GHz 3.6GHz 6MB 125W Q2
AMD Phenom II X6 1075T 3.0GHz 3.5GHz 6MB 125W Q3
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz 3.3GHz 6MB 125W/95W Q2
AMD Phenom II X6 1035T 2.6GHz 3.1GHz 6MB 95W Q2
AMD Phenom II X4 960T 3.0GHz 3.4GHz 6MB 95W Q2

We'll soon see more flavors of the Phenom II X6 as well as a quad-core derivative with 2 of these cores disabled. As a result, motherboard manufacturers are already talking about Phenom II X4 to X6 unlocking tools.

The new Phenom II X6 processors are aimed squarely at Intel’s 45nm Lynnfield CPUs. Both based on a 45nm process, AMD simply offers you more cores for roughly the same price. Instead of a quad-core Core i7 860, AMD will sell you a six-core 1090T. Oh and the T stands for AMD’s Turbo Core technology.

    Hey, found a typo, on the AMD Turbo page:

    "While mainstream CPUs are down at 65nm". I think you meant 65w.

    there's also an "i7 670" in one of the charts on the first pages, which should clearly be an i5. Reply

    nm refers to nano-meter and 65nm is a technology node. So, the processor manufacturing has been rolling down. For example, 250nm to 130nm to 90nm to 65nm to 55nm etc...

    It is not a typo and was mentioned correctly. :)

    Chandu naanna, if you take a look at the context, i.e. the sentences before and after the "wrong" sentence, you should be able to understand why it should be "W" instead of "nm".

    "High end desktop CPUs now spend their days bumping up against 125 - 140W limits. While mainstream CPUs are down at 65W. Mobile CPUs are generally below 35W. These TDP limits become a problem as you scale up clock speed or core count."

    Ardhamainada? :D

    As usual Anand, the article was great and really helped with figuring out where I am taking my wife's next computer. I was tempted to go AMD this time around for her next PC, but after reading this I believe I will stick with an Intel solution. Thanks man!

    You would have to be insane to pay $1000 for a chip that may be good for gaming. at $199 with slightly lower performance its a no brainer. When I build a system, I don't care if the frame rates etc is 10 to 15% better. Who cares ; the chip is fast and I have not problems playing high end games. I have no special setup and it does everything that my friends I7 can do. Good for me I get more pc for the buck . Go ahead and go broke buying just a motherboard and cpu when I can get a modern motherboard a cpu, 6gigs of ddr3 1600, a 1tb hd and a dvdrw. More for me. Reply

    i compared intel and AMD from almost AMD start ( K6 II ) CPU , i believe that AMD did not change their Policy much : they still offer more for less , with one different , in that time the market was also different from today , now a days , you can easly found all the hardware you need and it's compatible and works with AMD ,
    it's accurate Say : it's not about absolute Perf , it's about pref at a given price
    and in this , i think AMD wins .

LG is the one hardware manufacturer that is always trying to change the phone industry by adding new features or designs to their mobile devices. One of the most recent major changes that the company brought to the market was with the LG G2 and its power and volume buttons on the rear side of the handset. LG has now taken that innovation and added a larger, flexed display and have released the G Flex.

Like I said above, the LG G Flex has a curved screen. Of course this is not the first phone that is curved (Samsung Nexus S) but this is the first to have the actual display curved. In addition to the curved display, you can also flex the entire screen to the point where it is flat. Finally, the back casing of the Flex is coated with a self-healing material so if there are ever little scratches, a little heat will make the back look and feel brand new again. Just like the G2, the Flex’s power/lock button and volume rocker are positioned on the back of the phone just below the 13 MP camera. Besides the fron 2.1 MP camera, there is not much else special about the Flex’s hardware.

As for software, the Flex is packing LG’s Android skin which just happens to be my favorite because of how close it is to stock Android. While the OEM skin is close to a vanilla Android experience, it is packed with several software enhancements that make this phone desirable. One of these features ties in with the hardware allowing the user to “knock” on the display to turn the display on. Personally, I thought this feature was just a publicity stunt and I couldn’t see myself using it but after having the feature, I wanted to have the same functionality in my other devices. This “knock” can also be used to turn the display off if you’re still in the lock screen or in an open area on one of the home screens.

Overall, I found the phone to be very enjoyable but with a couple of drawbacks. The large display was very nice for all of the screen real-estate since you can run multiple applications at once or play a video but the fact that the screen resolution is only 720p, it could only be so nice. As for the Flex’s curved display, I liked the idea of a flexible screen but I found no reason for it. At first I thought that it would be better for fitting in my pocket or that it would be more comfortable while holding the handset but there were no added benefits. If anything, the curvature of the back of the Flex plus the power button on the back managed to turn the phone off in my pocket.

My full video review can be found below the technical specs.

10. January 2012 · Comments Off on Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Bill 1 · Categories: Land Reform, Land Registration, Legal affairs, Politics, Who Owns Scotland

On 1 December 2011, the Scottish Government published the Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Bill.  It provides a refreshed statutory basis for the process of land registration in Scotland – a process initiated by the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 – and which will eventually replace the ancient Register of Sasines. The Bill follows an earlier pre-legislative scrutiny process run by the Registers of Scotland.

You would be forgiven, however, for not having noticed.

There was no press release issued by the Scottish Government (though the Registers of Scotland issued one) and the mainstream media (as far as I could note) carried no news of the event. And for a bill that purports to reveal who owns Scotland it was also notable that Alex Salmond did not mention it in his September 2011 speech outlining the Government’s legislative programme. Had I been his adviser I would have suggested he trumpet the fact that the SNP government was at last going to put in place the necessary means to finally answer the question – who owns Scotland? This would have had populist appeal as well as practical utility.

I mention this by way of preamble since it tells us something about how the SNP are approaching this bill. It appears that they regard it as substantially a technical bill. They also appear to present it as a bill that is to do with “modern market economies” and which will ensure the “smooth running of a vibrant property market” (1) This is underpinned by the fact that the Minister with responsibility for piloting the Bill through Parliament is Fergus Ewing, the Minister for Energy, Enterprise and Tourism (who has responsibility for the Registers of Scotland) rather than either Kenny MacAskill or Roseanna Cunningham who hold the Justice brief and, specifically, the civil law of Scotland.

Admittedly, much of the Bill is technical. But that does not diminish its significance since there are also important public policy dimensions to the bill which have not been addressed.

This is the first time in the history of Scotland that a democratically-elected Scottish Parliament has considered the statutory basis for determining who owns land in Scotland. Given this, it might be expected that there would be something more of a debate about the contents of the bill and rather more publicity. As the bill begins its Stage 1 scrutiny, there is little more than a mild ripple of interest among members of the legal profession. This reflects the history of the bill which is seen by Government as a technical measure and whose genesis lies in a request by the Keeper (the official who heads the Registers of Scotland is charged with maintenance of 16 public registers, the most important of which are the Register of Sasines and the Land Register) in 2002 to the Scottish Law Commission (SLC) to review the law of land registration. The Bill substantially implements the draft bill published by the SLC in 2010.

The issues were plain to see. The 1979 Act which introduced the Land Register is the shortest land registration statute in the world at 30 sections plus 4 brief schedules. In contrast, the English statute runs to 136 sections plus 13 schedules and the German Act to 144 sections. In the words of the SLC,

The 1979 Act”s brevity means that on numerous issues it is simply silent. Of course, no legislation succeeds in covering everything. There are always holes. But the 1979 Act is a Swiss cheese.” (2)

As the years have gone by, therefore, questions have arisen in the holes in the cheese, the solutions have been essentially made up by the Keeper and incorporated into the Registration of Title Practice Book. This is highly unsatisfactory and provides the rational for the current bill which is to review a wide range of technical matters that are not the subject of any statutory force (but nevertheless through practice underpin land registration) and to give these statutory authority. The SLC did what it was asked to do and provided a thorough and expert analysis of the various issues (how the register should be remedied for inaccuracies, protecting the interests of sellers during the crucial hours and days of the acquisition of land etc.)

However, land registration is not simply a process of technical issues faced by conveyancers. It is the legal basis for providing real rights to own property. Without a recorded title, you merely have a contractual arrangement between a seller and a buyer which has no force beyond those two parties and (importantly) no binding force on successors. The real value of a public land register is that it provides real as opposed to personal rights which are defendable against the whole world. The Land Register goes further than the Register of Sasines which it replace and provides both indemnity against any defects in recording and a state-guaranteed title

All of which begs questions of the circumstances in which the state should provide indemnity, what claims for recording should be eligible for consideration, what form any application should take, publicity surrounding registration, remedies against malpractice and a whole host of other questions.

Landownership in Scotland is based on satisfying two conditions – that you have a recorded title to the land and that you have possession of it. It is based upon two acts of 1617, the Act XVI,  Act of Registration (which established the Register of Sasines) and the Act XII, Act of Prescription (which established that provided one had a recorded title, possession for 40 years would exempt any such title from challenge provided the owner had occupied it peaceably, openly and without judicial interruption. The Sasines register has undergone minor technical revision but remains substantially as conceived in 1617. Likewise, prescription has only undergone minor statutory amendment since 1617 reducing the prescriptive period to 10 years (20 years if it is Crown land).

These laws continue to underpinning modern property law but, as I outline in my recent book, The Poor Had No Lawyers, often represent little more than a form of post hoc legitimised theft which, were it to involve ordinary criminal theft would have the party doing the thieving in the dock for criminal reset.

The policy objectives of the bill are narrowly focused and reflect the limited “law review” nature of the bill. Now is the perfect time for the Scottish Government to – yes, review and improve the 1979 statute which is urgently needed – but also to provide some leadership on wider questions of what and what is not desirable from a public policy point of view in terms of Scotland’s system of land registration.

In my next three blogs I will deal with three of these – the legitimacy of a non domino titles, the registration of common land and the disclosure of beneficial ownership.

Meanwhile, the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee of the Scottish Parliament are seeking evidence by 18 January s part of their Stage One scrutiny of the Bill. Please do write to them if you feel inclined.

Baked Ricotta Cheese & Veggie Patties

Picnik collage

remember when i told you i think i'm a lactard? yeah, obnoxious amounts of not really tears have been shed over this. i still push the boundaries on what my body will accept. apparently ricotta cheese is something it's ok with. sweet.

these cheese patties are kinda sorta my take on the mozzarella sticks. only they're not shaped like sticks, or made of mozzarella. and they're full of random leftover veggies i had in the fridge. and. they're baked. AND! i didn't serve them with marinara sauce. so they're not like mozzarella sticks AT ALL.

Baked Ricotta Cheese & Veggie Patties
as usual, no exact measurements, add at your discretion and preference

1 medium zucchini, shredded and squeezed of any excess water
1 medium carrot, shredded and squeezed of any excess water
1 small onion, minced and squeezed of any excess water
1 garlic clove, minced
1 container of ricotta cheese
bread crumbs, more or less a cup
cilantro, rough chopped
salt/pepper to taste
crushed red pepper flakes

preheat oven to 350F
in a bowl, mix all the ingredients well. depending on how liquid-y the mixture add, add more bread crumbs. shape into patties, coat with more bread crumbs and put on baking sheet.

bake for about 20-30 minutes, until golden brown. i served with a yogurt/lemon concoction mixed with a bit of cilantro.

they were quite the hit. i had a few the next day for lunch and i ate them cold. still delish.

special thanks to Nuria, she took the pix.

oh, what a weekend

Picnik collage

oh what a weekend.

it was the kind of weekend that kept me on my toes, that got me out of bed earlier than usual, that made my heart glad for what i have and what i know i will eventually have. it was a weekend spent with friends, spent in my favorite room, spent playing with paint, reading subtitles, drinking wine, smiling, laughing, watching the sunset, watching it storm.

oh what a weekend.

And lately I've been satisfied by simple things
Like breathing in and breathing out
Finding sweet relief in knowing that it won't be long

Stormy Weather

"life is not about waiting for the storms to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain."

love it. live it. mean it.

it stormed this week and i loved it. but the fallout from the sky did nothing to dissipate the heat.

this weekend, i've plans to see a highly anticipated foreign film with friends, a cheesecake to bake, dockside dinner with some broads and well, other things in between. have a loverly weekend!

Homemade Spelt Ravioli ~ New Beginnings

did i ever tell you the story of how i came to live with my grandparents? i won't go into the back story, it's rather maudlin, a little indulgently war-ridden, and lord have mercy if Oliver Stone ever caught wind of this plot; we do not need another Vietnam War movie, thanks!

instead, i will start with from my earliest memory, i was always in my grandmother's arms, it was always my grandfather's hand that held mine as we walked to school. i started doing complicated addition in first grade, fractions and long division in second grade, all because of my grandmother. my grandfather painted my tricycle, which he found in a dumpster, fire-engine red, and then walked up and down the steep hill tirelessly to watch me ride it, all the while smoking his cigarettes. yeah, i was that kid who lived with a much older couple and their youngest son who was still in high school. during a time when they were just about finished raising their children, they had to begin all over again and raise me. peter was in college and in no state to be a single parent. so the child rearing went to his parents and to this day, they are the only people i would not hesitate to obey.

so i was one of their new beginnings. i've been thinking about beginnings lately. how exciting and daunting they can be. you'd think i'd be an expert by now, having moved around so much when i finally did start to live with peter, globe-trotting. but when i sit down to think about it, i still catch my breath: i'm single. for the first time in a really long time, i'm not attached to anyone. it's scary. it's nice. and i'm enjoying it.

last week i decided to give ravioli making a try again, this time with an ingredient i'd like to use more often, kinda start a more healthy approach to pasta-eating and possibly baking.

i used this recipe for the ravioli pasta. i made a simple ricotta stuffing, mixing in dried thyme, lemon juice, salt/pepper to taste. i topped with a thinned out pesto sauce i keep on hand now.

it was light, it was eye opening, it was easier than i imagined. just like how all new beginnings should be.

Coconut Cake

Picnik collage

for a friend's birthday recently i made her a coconut cake. the recipe called for three layers but i only have TWO pans of the same size and being pressed for time last weekend, i decided to make just two layers, they'd just be a little bit thicker. so the baking time was a bit off. the recipe i'll post will be straight from the original with my notes in italics.

Coconut Cake
adapted from Scott Peacock, Better Homes and Gardens, April 2010

Batter - made the day before
5 eggs
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk (i used coconut milk)
3 cups sifted cake flour (AP for me)
1 Tbl baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 cups sugar (cut back to 1 1/2 cups)
1 Tbl pure vanilla extract

Frosting - made the day of celebration
1 fresh coconut, husk & peel removed, grated or finely shredded, 3-4 cups (i ain't lying, i used packaged sweetened coconut flakes! who has time for that shit?)
3 egg whites
2 cups sugar (again, cut back to 1 cup)
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 cup water (i may have cut it to just 1/2 cup)
1/4 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp pure vanilla extract (nixed it, i ran out!)

Allow eggs, butter and milk to get to room temp for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F. in a bowl combine the flour, baking powder and kosher salt. grease cake pans (i used 2 8" round pans, recipe calls for 3 of them or 3 8X8X2 square pans), set aside.

In large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy, add the vanilla and eggs one at a time until well combined. alternately, add in the flour mixture and milk to the batter, beating on low after each addition until just combined. it should be really smooth. divide the batter among the pans.

for 3 pans, bake for 20-25 minutes until tops spring back when lightly touched. (i baked it for an additional 15 minutes, i hawked it very closely every five minutes.) cool on wire racks. from here, i covered them up really well with plastic wrap and left at room temp till the next day when i could make the icing.

for the icing, make the sugar syrup by putting the sugar, cream of tartar and water in a saucepan. cook & stir over low heat until sugar has dissolved. leave it alone for a bit, then cook until temp reaches 240F with candy thermometer. meanwhile, make sure the egg whites have reached room temp before beating them until frothy. add the salt and beat until stiff peaks begin to form. with the mixer running on low, slowly pour the hot syrup and vanilla. increase the speed to medium-high, until light and fluffy and a dollop of whites lifted off the beater holds its shape.

to assemble, arrange the first cake layer on two pieces of waxed paper. (in the first pic, you'll see the uneven layer. i had nuria cut the top off to make it even because i was doing the dishes and i wasn't paying attention. bless her heart, she messed up something fierce. the best way to evenly cut the top of a cake is to turn the cake with the knife still in it and saw in slow-mo. she was cutting it straight across and well... you can see how that is not the way to go...) Spread top of each layer with frosting, then sprinkle generously with shredded coconut. when cake is completely frosted, heap with additional coconut, pressing gently with your fingers to bed the flakes.

remove waxed paper on the bottom. makes about 16 servings.

if using all original ingredients, each serving: 482cal, 19g fat, 98mg chol, 219mg sodium, 74g carbo, 2g fiber, 6g pro.

we dug in after the final world cup game... not only celebrating Spain's victory but ana's birth.

Key Lime Meringue Pie

for a recent new hire orientation, i got two requests for key lime pie. i am not a fan of key lime pie and i thought of doing the no bake route again but decided to do something a little different.

i used this recipe but cut back the sugar amount to just 1/2 cup.

it was quite the hit in the office. there was tartness there but i still thought it was a bit on the too sweet side.

have a loverly weekend.

Rabbit with Mustard Sauce ~ Bending My Ways

it's been a rough summer for me this year. it has been hard to smile as of late and yet thru it all, i have been laughing my hardest. friends are the best balm - for anything. i have been feeling uninspired in the kitchen, with yarn, with crafts. i even had an ethan allen type scoff at my attempt at refurbishing my desk, which i have yet to unveil... a project i may not even show, just due to the sneer. good lord, cry me a fucking river, will you?

i bought rabbit again recently at the farmer's market, this time freshly butchered the night before. but like the last times, i couldn't bear to look at the skinned bunny, i cringed when the butcher lady handed me the 2lb bag of $13 carcass. and at home, i couldn't chop up the body into pieces. i could not bend my mind around the fact that this flesh had been a furry animal ~ probably living happily on a farm, just 24 hours prior. i did take up the duty of browning the meat tho, something i had always relegated to nuria. small steps. i just have to learn to bend before i break.

Rabbit with Mustard Sauce
adapted from the Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry by Kathleen Flinn

dish can be made with bone-in chicken thighs.

about 2 lbs rabbit pieces
coarse salt and black pepper
1 Tbl dried thyme
AP flour, for sprinkling
3 Tbl olive oil
dijon mustard
1 Tbl butter
2 medium onions, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup of brandy* (i used Brugal Rum)
2/3 cup chicken stock

preheat oven to 350F. Sprinkle meat with salt, pepper and dried thyme. dredge lightly in flour, shaking off excess. in a large dutch oven, heat the oil over med-high heat. brown pieces on all sides, in batches if needed. remove meat from pan and drail oil. generously top each piece of meat with the dijon mustard, set aside.

in the same pot, melt butter. add the onions and cook until translucent. add garlic. add the brandy* and chicken stock, simmer until slightly reduced. Return rabbit pieces to the pan. Cover and cook for about 45 minutes in the oven. (tho on the stove top would suffice too, i'd think)

i served this with some rice, drizzling the sauce over the meat and rice.

verdict: this is nuria's fave rabbit dish. it was good, i dug the touch of dijon mustard.

it will get better. i promise.

Bacon & Leeks Quiche ~ perfect poolside snack

the day after America's birthday, Nuria and i spent it with friends by their building pool. it was a sweltering day, with not much of a breeze and truth be told, a tempermental sun that made tender promises to show but spent most of its time behind clouds. but it was lovely just to hang out, make fun of the guy hitting on the lifeguard ~ an utterly perfect time. we snacked on quiche that nuria and i had made the evening before, after watching the fireworks. nuria slaved and cried over the crust while i smiled because i knew her pain well. but it all worked out in the end. i made the quiche filling, using fresh farmer's market ingredients: bacon, leeks... even the havarti cheese.

adapted from The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry by Kathleen Flinn

Pate Brisee
standard dough used for savory tarts and quiches. can be made up to one day in advance.

2 cups (300 g) AP flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick (113 g) butter, cut into pices, chilled
2 Tbl water

in a food processor add the flour and salt. process a few seconds, add butter. pulse until it appears crumbly and coarse. add water, little by little, pusling until the dough forms into a ball and sticks together. form into a disk, dust with flour and wrap in plastic. Let rest in fridge for at least 1/2 hour or up to a day.

preheat oven to 425F. Roll out dough and press into 10" pie pan. pierce bottom with fork. set foil in center and fill with dry beans. bake for 5 minutes, remove beans, brush with beaten egg and return to oven for another 7 minutes. cool slightly.

to make quiche:

Latin Burgers topped with Sweet Onion & Jalapeno Relish

Picnik collage

for Nuria's 2nd Fourth of July, i made burgers. specifically Latin burgers. i'm not a burger kinda chick but it seemed fitting for the day. they turned out really, really, really well. moist, flavorful and because i used ground turkey, light. i topped them with a sweet onion and jalapeno relish. we had a side of juicy farmer's market tomatoes, fresh from the ground red lollo lettuce and sliced havarti cheese, which is mild and does not mess with my stomach. afterwards we had it in our heads to walk to the inner harbor to check out the festivities. yeah.

1 lb ground turkey
1 small onion, finely diced
1 clove of garlic, finely diced
1 packet of Sazón Goya
handful of breadcrumbs

mix everything in a bowl and divide into four even patties. refridgerate for at least 30 minutes

Sweet Onion & Jalapeno Relish

2 onions, thinly sliced
1 tsp brown sugar
pat of butter and some olive oil
1 tsp thyme
salt/pepper to taste
1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and finely diced

sautee onions in the heated up and melted butter until translucent. season with salt, pepper and thyme. add in the brown sugar and jalepeno pepper, allow the onions to deepen in color and caramelize, about 20-30 minutes.

meanwhile, grill up the patties to desired doneness. because i used turkey meat, i cooked them well-done. serve topped with the relish.

hope you had a loverly 4th of july! what did you make for America's Birthday?

ADV Announces Release of DNAngel 3

HOUSTON, February 14, 2005— The life of a teenage boy certainly isn't easy under the best of circumstances, but what do you do when there's somebody else destroying your life, and he's doing it while wearing your own body? Poor Daisuke certainly is no stranger to crises, but if he can't get the phantom thief Dark out of his genes and under control, his whole world is going to come a tumbling down. The chaos ensues in the third volume in the hit crossed-identity saga DNAngel: Facets of Darkness, hitting the shelves March 1, 2005.

Based on the manga by popular artist Yukiru Sugisaki and produced by Dentsu (Angelic Layer), Kadokawa Shoten (Full Metal Panic!), TV Tokyo (Cowboy Bebop) and Xebec (Sorcerer Hunters), this star-crossed adventure series puts a whole new twist on the classic themes of unrequited love and secret identity. DNAngel follows Daisuke's story of self-discovery, the pursuit of true love and the experience of sharing his identity with the legendary art thief Phantom Dark.

The Story:

Poor Daisuke Niwa is just a regular kid with some extraordinary DNA. As if growing up wasn't hard enough already! Now he has to carry out super secret thefts as the Phantom Thief Dark too. He's got plenty of obstacles along the way as well. The girl he loves is in love with his alter ego… His classmate is set on destroying the Phantom Thief, in other words…him. His Dad jumps back into his life after being gone for years…And on top of all that he has a lovesick rabbit!

DNAngel: Facets of Darkness, Volume 3 (SRP $29.98 DVD) is a DVD-only release containing 4 complete episodes with both English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 language versions with English subtitles. Extras include: Clean opening and closing animation, voice actor commentary with Kelly Manison (Eiko) & Andy McAvin (Kosuke), DNAngel Talk 1: Miya Irino & Shunichi Miyamoto, DNAngel Japanese ADR session, DNAngel Unplugged: If I Could Be With You…, and ADV previews.

Quebec, Canada

I am cruising the St. Lawrence River here near Thousand Islands in Canada.

This is the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City.
previous picturetravel main page /   next picture

    When we lived in Ohio, we took a trip to Quebec in Canada.  Our trip took us through Montreal, then up through the St. Lawrence River, and finally to Quebec City.  We took a cruise on the St. Lawrence and got to see Thousand Islands.  In Montreal, we saw the Olympic facilities, and in Quebec City, we got to see all the old world buildings and castles.  These pictures are pretty old, and it is also courtesy of the Anirban Roy Library (dedicated towards telling my life's story through books, pictures, and video) so despite my best efforts to scan and restore it in Photoshop, this is the best I could do with it.

Agnel Talent Fest 2007

Father Agnel School (Gautam Nagar) will be holding their annual Agnel Talent Fest 2007 from 30th August 2007 to 1st September 2007. It is one of the most prestigious events in Delhi, albeit slightly irritating because they award themselves a position in almost each and every event and then *gracefully decline to accept* it. This year, the theme is Global Warming, which I think is bullshit (the notion of global warming, not the topic).

The ATF’s Exquizzit, their quizzing event is one of the best and the toughest quizzes in Delhi, and sure hope that on 1st September the DPS VK Quiz Club does something in it. Joy Bhattacharya, the brain behind ESPN School Quiz, and one of the lead researchers at ESPN. He has also worked with the team behind Kaun Banega Crorepati, University Challenge, and India’s Child Genius. Boy, is he an amazing quizmaster, and his quizzes are so fun.

Getting there
Now that’s a question many people from the DPS VK QC and the Code Warriors (there are two tech events) have asked me a lot. For exact directions from your place, the best place is Here are two general maps of the area though, click on the images to get an enlarged view.

In-Situ Measurement of High Level Tritiated Water by Bremsstrahlung Counting

Masao Matsuyama, Yuji Torikai, Kuniaki Watanabe

Fusion Science and Technology / Volume 48 / Number 1 / July/August 2005 / Pages 324-331

Technical Paper / Tritium Science and Technology - Tritium Measurement, Monitoring, and Accountancy /

The applicability of bremsstrahlung counting to in-situ measurements of high level tritiated water has been examined. A specially designed metallic vial fitted with a gold-coated beryllium window was prepared for the present examinations. Only tritiated water of a given amount was put into the vial. The volume dependence of the X-ray intensity showed that 5 cm3 of tritiated water is sufficient for measurements. It was found that the spectrum of X-rays induced by -rays consisted of only bremsstrahlung. The bremsstrahlung spectrum could be reproduced quite well by computational simulation. A good linear relation between the X-ray intensity and tritium concentration was obtained in the concentration range of 4 × 10-3-40 MBq cm-3. Furthermore, effect of nickel added as a model impurity to tritiated water was examined, and it was found that the tritium concentration can be evaluated from the X-ray intensity without any correction in the presence of impurity below 200 ppm.

Notice open to all current Ansaldo STS suppliers and to all our potential new suppliers

Beware of email scams with procurement requests

Reports keep coming in of scam email containing alleged procurement requests inviting the recipient company to supply Ansaldo STS with materials and/or services; Ansaldo STS has no knowledge of such requests.

Ansaldo STS does not request supplies of any kind by email from companies that are not in its supplier database. Our company procedure sets forth the implementation of a well-defined and structured procurement process, according to which the purchasing department's buyer for a particular product category requests a quote from a potential supplier along with appropriate documentation in order to assess the adequacy of the supplier and requested supply.

Ansaldo STS is not connected to these scams in any way and urges everyone to be very careful and carry out the appropriate verifications with our purchasing department prior to shipping material or providing a service.

In all cases when you may have doubts about the authenticity of a request, you can refer to the following web

Synergies with partners as well as global procurement chain optimization are both key elements in the strategy pursued by Ansaldo STS.

In regards to relationships both with Suppliers and with all entities, companies and persons they have established business and financial relationships with, Ansaldo STS has always promoted behavior rules based on loyalty, fairness, openness, efficiency and compliance with the local and international standards and regulations.

Ansaldo STS is committed to continuous improvement of their own supply chain. This can only take place through a steady and continuous improvement of the in-house organization and of the corporate processes, as well as through the steady and constant growth of their own suppliers, in order to maintain and develop Ansaldo STS’s competitive role within the global marketplace.

Both the supplier selection and the process leading to the purchase of products, goods, services and full turnkey systems take place in accordance with Ansaldo STS’s Code of Conduct and the in-house quality procedures as well as in accordance with the environment-protection, health and safety standards and regulations in force.

The suppliers are mainly assessed, through a well-defined selection process, based on the quality of their products and services, the compliance with the customer’s technical needs, their business and financial competitiveness, the stability of their own business, the performance of the duties they have committed to, and the compliance with the rules and regulations in force and the compliance with the social rights.

We at Ansaldo STS do believe that our relationships with our customers are crucial to the development and successful outcome of the highly value-added solutions we provide to our customer worldwide.

If your company and you also believe you wish to share these values, if you wish to join forces to face the challenges presented by the current and future business, and if you wish to be a part of our business network, we ask you to send us an e-mail and attach the profile of your company, fill in the enclosed questionnaire and let us have your references for any further close analysis.

Filippo Fanfani joined Ansaldo STS in April 2014 in his current capacity as the Group’s global Purchasing Department Manager.

Filippo Fanfani joined Ansaldo STS after he had gained  wide experience in the automotive field for more than sixteen years, holding increasingly important positions within various corporate departments as well as in countries and sectors of the Fiat Chrysler and Fiat Industrial Group.

Engineering a Hyperloop Pod with ANSYS

Since starting out as a segmented group of individuals passionate about high-speed technology, Berkeley Hyperloop (bLoop) has come a long way in our (roughly) two years of existence. What started as a vague mission to create a broader impact on the future of transport is now a tangible team of engineers, designers, marketers, logisticians and everything in between and we have no plans of stopping now. Of course, we didn’t do it alone. We’d be remiss if we did not acknowledge the generous support of sponsors like ANSYS, sponsors that have helped us realize the dream of designing and bringing a functional Hyperloop pod to that only existed in our wildest dreams up until a few months ago.

What do Facebook, Boeing and Raytheon Have in Common?

Apart from the fact that Boeing and Raytheon, like most companies in the world today, use social media and have a Facebook page, what at a core product level do these three companies have in common? Not a lot you might think. Well think again.

Facebook recently announced that it is building an aircraft (video) that has a similar wingspan to a Boeing 737. What is more, when flying at 60,000 ft. this aircraft will be able to transmit information over 10 miles using lasers to hit a point no bigger than a dime at a data transfer rate in the 10s of Gigabits per second. Right in the domain of expertise of companies like Raytheon. Talk about the convergence of the Internet of Things and the aerospace and defense industry! Continue reading

  1. Data indicate that Insl6 is an injury-regulated myokine that functions as a myogenic regenerative factor.

  2. The presence of immunoreactive INSL6 in discrete populations of hypothalamic and brainstem neurons and in Leydig cells of the testis suggests a diverse biological function of this novel peptide.

  3. results suggest that INSL6 modulates two different processes related to fertility, spermatogenesis, and sperm motility.

  4. Insl6 is most abundantly expressed in tissues rich in highly ciliated cells, such as olfactory sensory neurons, and is predicted to be important to cilia.

INSL6 Antigen Profile

Antigen Summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains a classical signature of the insulin superfamily and is significantly similar to relaxin and relaxin-like factor. This gene is preferentially expressed in testis. Its expression in testis is restricted to interstitial cells surrounding seminiferous tubules, which suggests a role in sperm development and fertilization.

I wrote a menu program quite some time ago to prove a point to my computing teacher (something to do with being able to make a menu on a non-object oriented system; please don't ask me why he believed this, I think it was just that he didn't like me being right :P)

The code is shown in the form of a tutorial (you can view the whole code at the end...I hope), but I didn't put it in a tutorial forum because I didn't feel that it was good enough, or something. It's not a very interesting tut...just shows you how easy it is to create a menu.

The tutorial is at the following address: http://ezranet.no-ip.org/menutut.html

If you can't access that, tell me and I'll post the ip instead. I sometimes seem to have troubles with my hostname.

Thanks, ac.

Jul 30, 2009

This wonderful home of stylist Marthe Desmoulins is so inspirational. We adore her ability to take two things from very different styles and make them look like they always belonged together. Beautiful furniture and art, many of which were found at flea markets, decorate cheerful and bright interiors. More photos after the jump...

The use of color in her home makes us smile. The combinations of bright yellows with reds and greens is not something we see everyday. The colors in the bedroom are toned down a bit with gorgeous floral wallpaper and earth-toned bedspread. We featured her patio previously on Apartment Therapy during our Outdoor month. It is perfect for outdoor entertaining or just relaxing in the sun.

Check out Marie Claire Maison for the full story and more photos of the house. We came across this beautiful home on the Automatism blog.
