Fwd: USG Unveils Shiny New Webmail!

Had enough of the clunky, buggy, bland webmail of old? There is hope yet. According to USG president Mike Yaroshefsky, OIT has a whole new site in the works — they’ve got a functional version up and they’re currently gathering feedback, says an anonymous tipster. The Ink took this new version for a little test drive, and I might actually be a webmail convert.

A godsend: the Reply function is now conveniently contained within the same window, so your screen isn’t constantly cluttered by pop-out windows. And although I don’t feel qualified to comment on any real technical improvements, there’s much to be said for aesthetics. Everything is a lot more readable, for one. Gone are the sterile whites and grays and blues, replaced by … markedly friendlier whites and grays and blues. (This theme is actually titled “Blue Steel.”) The spacing’s better; the font’s bigger. The trash bin is cuter. The buttons are nice and rounded in an endearingly pressable way.

Take a look for yourself after the jump:

Take a tour of Princeton, circa 1962

There’s something about college tours that has always made me feel a little weird. Maybe it’s because I know that those college legends aren’t true (like that one about the bulldog on the chapel–if you don’t know it, you should probably take an Orange Key Tour). Or maybe because I’ve always wished that tour guides would just come out and say it: To your left is a terrible dorm, a dorm that no one wants to live in, where the nearest bathroom is three stories away and, seriously, there are mice. But it’s probably how easily they walk backwards. How do they do it?

Training. At serious meetings in Nassau Hall. Meetings with a dress code. Meetings that are preceded by the haunting, ringing music that plays in movies when the protagonist is having some kind of uncomfortable flashback to a past trauma. What? Oh, here’s an instructional video for Orange Key tour guides, circa 1962.

IN PRINT: ‘Cool Genes’ Program Draws HS Science Teachers to PU

If you’ve found yourself losing sleep this summer, spending long, agonizing hours wondering what your beloved Princeton is doing with itself in your absence, read on.

[caption id="attachment_6845" align="alignright" width="515" caption="Sherry Davis (left) and lab partner Gail Turner-Graham swab their cheek cells for analysis in Princeton's Schultz Lab."]Sherry Davis (left) and lab partner Gail Turner-Graham swab their cheek cells for analysis.[/caption]

Contrary to popular belief, Princeton doesn’t exist in a September-to-May time warp. Princeton lives on! In a big way. And no, I’m not just talking about the hordes of high school athletes that descend on campus. Or the tech camp attendees who get, ahem, air-conditioned housing.

In fact, for anyone who went to sleep-away camp and wondered why the lobsters and sushi and chocolate fondue fountains only got rolled out on visiting day, this will make sense: summertime is Princeton’s visiting day. (Minus the A/C for non-tech-camp individuals and the constant fire alarms triggered by “careless cooking”). Construction, summer theater, festivals and fairs in town, weddings…campus is definitely alive and well.

And the learning continues! Click here to read about a 2-week, hands-on molecular biology outreach program for secondary school science teachers from all over the world.

Timelessness of Tigertown’s Prepster Chic

As  we dredge hopelessly through the dog days of summer, with New York experiencing one of its hottest July weekends on record, it makes sense that we’re all getting a little back-to-school-fever.  Case in point: the front page of today’s New York Times Sunday Style section, which featured a story on the timelessness of Ivy League preppiness, complete with color picture of Princetonians in all their tiger-toned glory circa 1965.

[caption id="attachment_6833" align="alignleft" width="250" caption="Nassau Steet parties like it's 1965; a spread from the newly-reissued "Take Ivy." (Photo: www.jcrew.com)"]Nassau Steet parties like it's 1965; a spread from the newly-reissued "Take Ivy." (Photo: www.jcrew.com)[/caption]

The occasion? As we announced to you back in March, Teruyoshi Hayashida’s classic book, Take Ivy, is coming to a retail store near you (as in, a short jaunt down Nassau Street) in just a few weeks.  The style classic, long worshipped by the powers-that-be at prepster labels like J.Press and Ralph Lauren, will be reissued by Powerhouse Books on August 23rd and sold by retailers like J.Crew.  What better way to spark up your post-Reunions, pre-move-in enthusiasm for Sperry Top-Siders and popped collars than to snap up a copy? Until then, you can preview the preppiness at your leisure in this NYT slide show, or read your fill about how this All-American Ivy look has taken over international men’s fashion here. Doesn’t it make you long to dash past East Pyne in a pristine letter sweater on a crisp Fall day?

Campus Masturbator hits Cornell

Princeton no longer has a monopoly on campus lewdness. Yesterday an email alert went out to all members of the Cornell community with the subject heading “lewd exposure incidents reported on campus.” For the past two weeks, students have reported three separate instances of exhibitionism. The email explains:

The first incident took place July 3 at approximately 12:15 p.m. A female reported that she observed a man exposing himself in a lewd manner near the stone bridge on Beebe Lake. The suspect was described as a middle-aged, white male with a stocky build.

The second reported incident occurred July 9 at approximately 3:30 p.m. when a male subject in a car pulled up to a female who was walking on campus and exposed himself. The subject called the female over to the vehicle and exposed himself. The subject was described as a tall, dark-skinned, white male, in his 20s to 30s. The car was described as an older, four-door vehicle, light in color.

The most recent incident occurred Tuesday, July 13, at approximately 4 p.m. in the Beebe Lake area. A male subject was observed exposing himself and acting in a lewd manner. The subject was described as a dark-skinned, heavy-set Hispanic or black male in his 20s to early 30s.

Five days after Princeton’s last act of lewdness, it seems we have a new competitor. Unlike the Ivy League title, however, this is one ball game we’re willing to lose.

Week in Review: Babies and Gravity Edition (July 5 – July 12)

Top of the agenda this past week: a really, really smart person says gravity is an “illusion” and LeBron James’s Princeton grad dad emerges from the mist. Wait, what?

Renowned babies scholar

Renowned babies scholar

First off: we pay our respects to Norman Ryder, a revolutionary Princeton sociologist who passed away at the age of 86. Ryder pioneered the “cohort” approach to demographic study, which analyzes a group of people of the same age as they “go through life and share similar experiences,” sort of like that movie about babies.

Speaking of babies, Ryder did a lot of massively influential research on fertility. He and another Princeton professor, Charles Westoff, co-directed the National Fertility Studies in ’65, ’70, and ’75, interviewing thousands of American women and eventually demonstrating, among other cool things, “that a drop in unplanned births accounted for nearly the entire decline in U.S. fertility following the post-World War II baby boom.”

And speaking of unplanned births …

This past week, LeBron James, one of the best humans to have ever touched a basketball, decided where he was going to bounce and shoot that basketball for the foreseeable future. For those who managed (somehow) to miss it, it was a big deal. The national media salivated, tongues lolling dumbly, as Mr. James managed to scientifically pinpoint himself as the center of the known universe (I don’t want to talk about it here it will get ugly I’m going to stop right now). It was a spectacle — and in the midst of it all a strange 55-year-old man decided to smack LeBron with a lawsuit, claiming to be his father and accusing his “son” of a fraudulent cover-up.

Is LeBron LeSon?

Is he really LeDaddy?

You may be wondering why I am talking about this. The fact is …

Your Monthly Amazing Race Update, Part 1; Or, What We Talk About When We Talk About CDY

3045549519_a3dba04a38Even with the outcome potentially spoiled, CDY on the Amazing Race is just so fascinating to me.

In my pre-Princeton life I followed The Amazing Race as fanatically as some people follow football or baseball or the Academy Awards. I would flip out at the announcement of a new destination (“We’ve never been to Ethiopia before!” I’d exclaim, as if I were actually along for the ride instead of bouncing on a beanbag chair in my basement), bawl at the elimination of my favorite teams, and spend hours poring over game analysis on Reality TV message boards.

It was weird, I know. But when you’re a high schooler looking to use pop culture as the means of escape from your so-called teenage life, you really have to commit to your obsessions. Polite interest in a show or team or band doesn’t really get you anywhere – and me, I wanted to go everywhere, skip out of Delaware and cross the whole world three times over, preferably with a CBS camera crew in tow.

What I’m saying is, given this past obsession, the prospect of any old Princeton student on the show would be compelling to me.  But what makes CDY on the Amazing Race especially compelling – like I said, out-and-out fascinating – is that CDY wasn’t just any old student during his time at Princeton. He was one of our private college’s public figures – politically, at least, our big man on campus.

Week In Review: Fourth of July edition (June 27 – July 4)

(Ed. Note: An earlier version of this post had a long meditation on Connor Diemand-Yauman and the popular reality TV show, The Amazing Race, which was a tad long for your weekly round-up. This rambling will be re-formatted and included in a new forthcoming post later today. Fun!)

Top of the agenda: This past weekend your uncle Sam got you drunk and made the sky explode with falling light.  When it was over he handed you a sparkle-stick and it was like the same thing (the sky-falling, not the uncle-drunking) but smaller.  It was pretty, too, but all of a sudden you felt empty and unsure.  You coughed and held the sparkler down away from your face.  What was the point of it all, the trails of light fading to tails of smoke?  What was the use?  And why was everybody around you dressed the same, matching reds and whites and blues?  Seriously ugly color combo, but still – they all looked so happy.  What did those people know that you didn’t?   Your uncle Sam said you just needed another drink.  Fine, you replied, but make sure it’s a real beer and not that awful low-carb stuff. He came back with the goods and you chugged it.  Then you doubled over and booted.

And then someone wrote a poem about it.

The star in my
Hand is falling

All the uniforms know what’s no use

May I bow to Necessity not
To her hirelings.

  • Congratulations, you’ve just read something by W.S. Merwin ‘48, America’s next poet laureate (and, in case you haven’t get gotten hip to what the ’48 means ‘round these here parts – welcome freshmen! – a Princeton graduate from the Class of 1948).  According to the New York Times, Merwin, whose appointment was announced last week, is “an undisputed master” and enjoys composing his poems on paper napkins.
  • In my home state of Delaware there’s a man who sits in the Wilmington McDonalds and draws Mickey Mouse cartoons on napkin after napkin with a Sharpie.  He’s nice, albeit unlikely to ever hold a ceremonial post in the Obama administration.  I miss Delaware and I miss McDonalds.  Delaware I knew I’d have to leave behind once I went off to college, but McDonalds I figured would always be there.  Guess not. Thanks a lot, Princeton Borough.

New Calls in the People Programme of FP7

Ured za naučno-istraživački rad
Tel: (035) 300-525
Fax: (035) 300-524

Tuzla, 19.04.2011. godine

New Calls in the People Programme of FP7

The 'People' Specific Programme is being implemented through different categories of actions:
1. Life-long training: Actions aiming at supporting experienced researchers in acquiring new skills thank to stays abroad: Intra-European Fellowship (IEF), Career Integration Grant (CIG) and COFUND
2. International dimension: Actions aiming at increasing the co-operation with third countries: International Outgoing Fellowship (IOF), International Incoming Fellowships (IIF) and International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES)
3. Initial training: The Initial Training Network (ITN) aims to improve early-stage researchers’ career perspectives in both public and private sectors
4. Industry-Academia: The Industry-Academia Partnerships & Pathways scheme (IAPP) aims to increase the co-operation between industry & academia sectors

Currently, the following calls are open:
FP7-PEOPLE-2011-IEF - Intra-European Fellowships for Career Development (IEF)
Deadline: 11 August 2011 17.00, Budget € 109 850 000,
This action is to support the career development, or restart, of experienced researchers at different stages of their careers, and seeks to enhance their individual competence diversification in terms of skill acquisition at multi- or interdisciplinary level and/or by undertaking intersectoral experiences. The aim is to support researchers in attaining and/or strengthening a leading independent position, e.g. principal investigator, professor or other senior position in education or enterprise.

FP7-PEOPLE-2011-IIF - International Incoming Fellowships (IIF)
Deadline: 11 August 2011 17.00, Budget € 40 000 000
The action provides financial support to individual research projects presented by the incoming experienced researchers in liaison with a legal entity ('host organisation') in a Member State or an associated country, as well as possibly with a 'return host organisation' if the researcher was active in an International Cooperation Partner Country before the incoming phase.

FP7-PEOPLE-2011-IOF - International Outgoing Fellowships for Career Development (IOF)
Deadline: 11 August 2011 17.00, Budget € 40 000 000

This action aims to reinforce the international dimension of the career of European researchers by giving them the opportunity to be trained and acquire new knowledge in a high-level organisation active in research, established in an other third country (outgoing phase). Subsequently, these researchers will return with the acquired knowledge and experience to an organisation in a Member State or associated country.

FP7-PEOPLE-2011-CIG - Career Integration Grants (CIG)
Deadline: 6 September 2011, 17.00, Budget € 40 000 000
Its objective is to reinforce the European Research Area by encouraging researchers to establish themselves in a Member State or in an associated country, for example after a period of mobility. The action is designed to provide the researchers who have been offered a stable position and who are considering establishing themselves in Europe, with their own research budget, thus
contributing to the scientific success of their research career. The action is intended to improve considerably the prospects for the permanent integration of researchers who are taking up, for the first time, a stable post in Europe.

Rockets fired on southern Israeli city, temporarily closing airport

April 17, 2013 at 8:22 AM
| License Photo

EILAT, Israel, April 17 (UPI) -- Three Grad rockets struck Eilat in southern Israel Wednesday, causing no injuries but temporarily closing the city's airport, officials said.

Authorities said one rocket landed in an open area, one fell on a construction site and one landed on the city's outskirts, The Jerusalem Post reported.

Egypt has denied claims that the rockets were fired from the Sinai.

A number of residents reportedly were being treated for shock, officials said.

Israel Radio reported two rockets struck Aqaba, a resort in Jordan, a report Jordanian officials later said was false.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told the Post the airport in Eilat was temporarily closed for security reasons.

"We'll take additional precautions in the event of more rocket sirens," he said.

Defense officials said they would investigate why the Iron Dome anti-missile battery placed outside the city this month failed to bring down the rockets.

Eilat Mayor Meir Yitzhak Halevi said, to the best of his knowledge, the anti-missile defense system hadn't been activated.

In the Sinai, Egyptian security forces were searching the border area to investigate the Israeli claims.

"There is not yet any evidence indicating that these rockets were fired from Egypt," an Egyptian security source told the Post.

Lost Generations? Wealth Building Among the Young

Despite the recent recession, average household wealth approximately doubled between 1983 and 2010, and average incomes rose similarly. Older Americans shared in the rising economy and doubled their wealth. But, our recent research with Eugene Steuerle and Sisi Zhang reveals that younger generations have been largely left behind.

Today, people in their 20s and 30s (Generations X and Y) have accumulated less wealth than their parents when they were the same age about 25 years ago. The average wealth of 20- and 30-year-olds in 2010 was 7 percent below that of those in their 20s and 30s in 1983.

Change in Average Household Net Worth by Age Group, 1983-2010

Source: Authors' tabulations of the 1983, 1989, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, and 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF). Notes: All dollar values are presented in 2010 dollars and data are weighted using SCF weights. The comparison is between people of the same age in 1983 and 2010.

As a society gets wealthier, children are typically richer than their parents, and each generation is typically wealthier than the previous one. But younger Americans’ wealth is no longer outpacing their parents’. Americans expect every generation to do better than the previous one, but this young generation is not. Why?

The Great Recession’s effect on housing hit the young particularly hard, as they were more likely to have the largest balances on loans and the least equity relative to their home values. Some ended up underwater on their mortgages and could not take advantage of recent low interest rates. Also, many young Americans have limited job opportunities in the post-recession economy, particularly as they leave school and enter the labor force.

But the young were falling behind even before the Great Recession. Student loan debt stands near $1 trillion, surpassing credit card debt. Other likely factors include delayed entry into the workforce, stagnant wages, and lack of educational attainment that is higher than previous generations.

In addition, public policy now burdens the young with ever-increasing interest payments on the federal debt. The cost of preserving retirement and health benefits for older Americans and baby boomers should not be passed on to younger generations who have already been losing out on their share of private wealth. Education has been shortchanged amid tightening state and local budgets, and post-recession policy has discouraged homeownership.

If current trends are not reversed, when today’s younger Americans retire, they may be more dependent on safety net programs less capable of providing basic support. The fall in wealth building among Gen X and Y may also have far-reaching implications for budget, tax, and education reform.

If we want to secure our economy’s future, we must make asset-building among the young a priority.

As an organization, the Urban Institute does not take positions on issues. Experts are independent and empowered to share their evidence-based views and recommendations shaped by research.

How and why to create a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) document in Dreamweaver. CSS files dictate the way everything appears on a website.

Creating a CSS Document in Dreamweaver by Nick Beresford Davies

Make a new Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) document to determine how everything looks

In order add the background images and text styles to a website, we first need to create a separate style document - a CSS file. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet, and is so named because of the ‘cascading’ manner in which its hierarchy is laid out, and in the way that certain rules override others (in the event of conflicting instructions), depending on their position within a document.

Style Sheet Hierarchy

For example, (without wishing to get too bogged down in the subject), if you’re using CSS styles in your HTML page, there are four main ways to define a style, and the ‘closer’ the style is to the page, the higher the priority it is given over other styles:

  • Linked external stylesheets (separate documents) are overruled by:
  • Document-level style sheets (style rules written at the top of the page itself). These are overruled by:
  • Inline Style Definitions (styles applied directly to items on a page).

For anyone familiar with Quark Xpress, InDesign (or even Microsoft Word), you may well have already come across pre-defined styles. Basically, all you need to know about CSS (for now) is that CSS determines almost everything about how you page looks - how the fonts look, how and where the background images are placed, what happens when you rollover a link and so on and so forth.

Luckily for we graphic designers and HTML novices, Dreamweaver does much of the coding for us - both in the HTML page and in the CSS document. As you become familiar with how HTML, CSS (and maybe even PHP and Javascript) work, you’ll get to know what bits of code do what, and you’ll learn to manipulate code to achieve your own ends.

This website focuses primarily on creating a 'static' website rather than a content managed website. However, I still use Dreamweaver when working with dynamic sites - and WordPress is my CMS of choice.

WordPress is by far the most used content management system on the planet - and if you want to dip your toe into creating database-driven websites, this is the one I'd suggest you use. In order to side-step overly complex coding, I use Toolset plugins to help me create complex functionality without worrying about how to code. I highly recommend you check them out if you want to move to WordPress development and you're concerned about PHP coding.

Find out more about Toolset here.

You don’t have to be a programmer to be able to do this.

Create an external CSS file and save it to your website folder

It’s best practice to keep all of your global styles (by global I mean site-wide; styles that every page will use) within an external CSS file, and then to link that CSS file to your website pages, preferably via the template page we created.

To create a CSS file:

From the New Document dialogue box:

Select Blank Page from the left, and CSS from the middle column (figure 1).

Then click Create.

Save the file to your website directory, either in the ‘root’ (top level folder) or in a different (but logically named) folder of your choice. I’m saving mine to the root directory and calling it ‘using-dreamweaver-styles.css’. The .CSS suffix is added automatically.

When saving a new file, you might find that the ‘Save As’ dialogue box has taken you to a folder away from your site files. To skip back there quickly, click the ‘Site Root’ button - and you’ll find yourself in the root directory of your local site files.

New CSS Dialogue Box

New CSS Dialogue Box

Once saved, you’ll notice that the CSS file is opened in ‘Code View’ with the following at the top:

@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */

It’s handy to keep this open so you can see what’s going on, but not essential. There’s a nice, user-friendly CSS dialogue box which helps you create styles, and which writes the code to the CSS document for you based on your selections.

Next we need to link the CSS file to the template page...

At 115 pounds, Bethenny Frankel has built a hugely successful line of healthy lifestyle products aptly titled SkinnyGirl. And yet the 5-foot-6 reality star maintains an everything-in-moderation, guilt-free approach to eating.

But for the new mom -- she has ten-month-old daughter Bryn with sales exec hubby Jason Hoppy, 39 -- giving up the guilt was a lifelong battle.

In the new issue of Us Weekly, the Bethenny Ever After star, 40, opens up about the obsession with dieting, which first started at age eight -- when her mom sent her to a New York obesity clinic -- and continued well into her thirties.

"I spent my entire life being obsessed with dieting," she tells this week's issue (on stands now). "Bingeing and then fasting or starving. Forbidding everything. That's how I used to be: up and down 5 pounds every single day, to the extremes. My metabolism was totally wrecked."

Among the "5,000 diets" Frankel tried: Atkins, the Scarsdale diet, the Beverly Hills diet, and the cabbage-soup diet.

"I would go buy magazines just to see what the new diet was and rip it out," admits the star, who also battled an addiction to exercise.

For more on Frankel's lifelong struggle -- including which casting director told her to lose 15 pounds, and how she finally broke free from her diet demons -- pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, out now.

Language acquisition versus language learning

Linguists distinguish between language acquisition and language learning. Children acquire language through a subconscious process during which they are unaware of grammatical rules. This happens especially when they acquire their first language. They repeat what is said to them and get a feel for what is and what is not correct. In order to acquire a language, they need a source of natural communication, which is usually the mother, the father, or the caregiver.

Language learning, on the other hand, is the result of direct instruction in the rules of language. Language learning is not an age-appropriate activity for very young children as learning presupposes that learners have a conscious knowledge of the new language and can talk about that knowledge. They usually have a basic knowledge of the grammar.

From a neurolinguistic point of view, language acquisition and language learning are processed in two different ways in the brain.

During early infancy, language processing – during acquisition – occurs in many areas of the brain. Only over time it gradually becomes concentrated into two areas: the Broca’s area, which is situated in the left frontal cortex and is involved in the production of the patterns in vocal and sign language, and the Wernicke’s area, in the left temporal cortex that is primarily involved in language comprehension. The Broca’s area is the one actively involved in language acquisition processes, whereas the Wernicke’s area is active in the language learning process.

  • unconscious process

  • does not presuppose teaching

  • the child controls the pace

  • intentional process

  • presupposes teaching

  • the teacher controls the pace

Before proceeding to a cancellation of your request, please read our Terms of Service carefully. In there you will find details on the amount that you are entitled to get back, according to the Greek law and the G.N.T.O. regulations. Please also note that all cancellation requests should be sent to us by a signed fax (read the lines below).

All that remains to be done is fill up one of the following forms, depending on how you will be refunded (by bank wire transfer or by credit card). That depends entirely on the way you have paid the required deposit (or deposits). After filling up all necessary details, you must sign the form and fax it to us.

Information about Pieria

Vacation and accommodation in Greece is a complete Travel Guide for Greece. In Vacation-Greece you will find information on Greek islands and a list of hotels and villas in Macedonia, studios and apartments for all budgets. Find hotel offers in Macedonia, see maps and photos of Macedonia, book flights, ferry tickets, discover Macedonia, book guided tours and make hotel reservations.
Short Description
Pieria This is the region where you can combine your mountain holiday with a vacation by the sea.

Not only will you will find the Thermaic coast enchanting, you'll also admire Olympos, the mountain of the gods. Pieria is thickly forested, with plane trees, pines, poplars and firs on Olympos.

The capital of this prefecture, Katerini, lies between the plain of Pieria and Mt. Olympos.

Some 32 kilometres southwest of Katerini, the village of Agios Dimitrios is built on a plateau where there are streams and trees galore.

The road to Stena tis Petras, the pass to Thessaly, is truly exciting, as is a walk up the impressive Olympos Gorge.

pieria beaches At Dion, 17 kilometres south of Katerini, archaeologists have brought to light the extensive mins of the Macedonians' sanctuaries to the gods.

Amidst the lush vegetation and springs of the Pierian plain, just before the ascent to Olympos begins, one can see the ruins of the sanctuary buildings - the temples, two theatres and a stadium - while next to them, to the north, the remains of the ancient city of Dion stretch out. It was closely associated with Zeus as its name implies (in Gôeek the god is called Dias). Thousands of Macedonians used to flock to this place for the festivities and games dedicated to the god, which grew in importance after the 5th century BC. Among the sacred buildings, the following are the most notable: the sanchtury of Demeter, two temples dating to ca. 500 BC, the Asklepieion, and the whole sanctury dedicated to Isis, with its cult statues still standing on their bases. The city of Dion was well fortified by the wall erected in the 4th century BC, and it had a splendid layout. The excavations have exposed paved streets, public buildings, shops, workshops, and houses, as well as the orchestra, stage and lower seats of Dion's large theatre. Én the vast cemetery, to the north and west of Dion, there are four subterranean, tiled-roofed macedonian tombs.

pieria fishingboat In the 5th century AD violent earthquakes brought an end to the city's prosperity.

Nevertheless, enough remains of it to give today's visitor a good idea of the beauty of the town with its ample public spaces, theatre, numerous statues, and impressive fortifications.

Coming back to the present, Leptokaria (23 km. from Katerini) has a lovely beach long enough to attract crowds of Greek and foreign tourists each summer. Other seaside resorts are Methoni, Nea Agathoupoli with its splendid fish market, Agios Panteleimonas with its Venetian castle, Platamonas with its sandy beaches, and Makrigialos with the ruins of ancient Pydna.

Finally, on the slopes of Olympos, is the small town of Litohoro (24 km. from Katerini), an old summer resort and the starting point for those whishing to climb the legendary mountain.

The enchanting valley of Epineas with its riíer coming down from Olympos is worth visiting.

Vail Daily letter: Can’t be all that dangerous |

Back to: News

Vail Daily letter: Can’t be all that dangerous

Regarding the letter to the editor “Tragedy in waiting,” there are many incidences where one could prevent a death through a simple policy change. However, an even better policy change would have been simply to close the run for whatever time it took to groom it during that time period.

I have spoken to ski instructors who have stopped taking their students down Redtail or Larkspur because of icy conditions which were not icy when those slopes had been properly groomed during the day.

Is the Thursday night instructor-kiddie ski-down safe? After all, it is usually semi-dark and the visibility is poor. This also is a “tragedy in waiting.”

On the very next page where “tragedy in waiting” appeared, another article: “Fatal semi-truck crash closes I-70.” With tongue in cheek, does that mean we close down I-70 to all semi-trucks? We all know that without them the highways would be safer, but yes, many deaths and accidents have occurred on I-70 involving semis.

I have been told that two skiers indeed collided with groomers, but I was also told that those groomers were at standstill at the time and no one got hurt. I wonder what we all are thinking.

So what does “Not exactly roughing it” really mean with the grooming change?

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has had a hell of a day, and it seems that CEO Tim Cook has been one of the most active members of the company’s entire staff. The head of the company was seen greeting fans outside of a Palo Alto Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) store earlier today, and now he’s joined Twitter.

Apple Tim Cook

The Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c were just released this morning around the world, and the premium model, the iPhone 5s, appears to be almost completely sold out already. Analysts were expecting the company to sell 5-6 million phones this weekend. Few analysts predicted that Tim Cook would show up on Twitter.

Tim Cook on Twitter

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Tim Cook has stayed away from Twitter for years, but it seems his marketing team has finally convinced him to join the social network. Cook Tweeted about his visit to the Palo Alto store this afternoon, though it took a little while for anyone to believe it was actually him.

At time of writing, the executive had already collected close to 20,000 followers, which isn’t bad for just one tweet. Cook said that his visit to the retail store “reminds us of why we do what we do.”

Apple iPhone marketing extravaganza

Today’s news cycle couldn’t have fallen together better for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). Coverage of the company’s new smartphone release dominated the airwaves all day, and pictures of Apple stores overflowing with people could be seen almost everywhere. Tim Cook’s arrival on Twitter is the latest in a marketing spree that is likely to continue all weekend.

When Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) gets free publicity, it knows how to leverage it. That may be the firm’s second best marketing tool, behind the acquisition of free publicity in the first place. Tim Cook is keeping the train rolling this afternoon, and his Twitter feed will likely become one of the most followed on earth this weekend. The question on the lips of shareholders is: “Will the executive will follow Carl Icahn?”

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has raised more than $65 million to fight AIDs, according to U2 front man Bono. The rockstar is the founder of the (RED) campaign that sees companies release red products in order to fight the disease. Bono made a speech at the Clinton Global Initiative and spoke about the contribution from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). The news was originally reported by BusinessInsider.

The Product Red campaign has probably been the most visible at Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). The company released an iPod Nano, and iPod Touch and an iPod Shuffle for the campaign, and has released a number of additional accessories to contribute.

Apple Red Campaign

There have been some criticisms leveled at the Product Red campaign and at Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s involvement particularly. The visibility of the company’s (RED) products and the eye attracting nature of news about the company have led to investigations into the company’s use of the charity, and the charity itself.

Some of the most often raised criticisms include the amount of money the company spends advertising the RED products compared to the amount of money the products have actually contributed to charities. The numbers suggest that it would be more worthwhile for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) to simply invest that portion of the advertising budget to AIDs charities and ignore the Product Red campaign.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has raised $65 million for the charity, and that is not a bad thing. The firm may be headed toward $35 billion in earnings in this year alone, however, and the contribution to the Product Red campaign is a pittance in comparison.

Charity at Apple Inc.

Charity has been a difficult problem at Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) for many years. The company’s co-founder Steve Jobs did not support direct philanthropy. According to one New York Post journalist, the visionary executive thought that delivering Apple products to the masses was charity enough.

In 2011, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) donated just $100 million to charity, behind the donations of most of the big companies on the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX). The company has been trying to resurrect its image since Tim Cook took the position as CEO of the company. Cook himself revealed that he gave $100 million to charity himself alone in 2011.

There is a lot of controversy about the workings of charity, and in particular the workings of private charity like Product Red. Steve Jobs never quite solved those problems, and they are still plaguing Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL).

Daily Closing Prices and Drawdowns for the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJIA) from May 1885 to July 11, 2014 by GREENBACKD

I’ve been digging back through some very old historical data to understand how unusual the 1929 crash was and found the site Measuring Worth, which has the interesting mission “to make available to the public the highest quality and most reliable historical data on important economic aggregates.” Measuring Worth has a data series combining the Dow Jones Industrial Average 2 Minute (INDEXDJX:.DJI) and its precursor, the Dow Jones Average, all the way back to May 1885. Measuring Worth provides this fascinating history of the index:

On July 3, 1884, Charles Henry Dow began publishing his Dow Jones Average. By the time it was published daily eight months later, the index was composed of 12 stocks, 10 of which were railroads. This index appeared in the Customer’s Afternoon Letter up until July 8, 1889 when the first issue of The Wall Street Journal was published. On October 7, 1896, Dow started publishing two “Daily Moving Averages,” 12 industrials and 20 railroads (that would later become the transportation index.) This first Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was published through September 29, 1916. This first DJIA closed at 71.42 on July 30, 1914 and so did the New York Stock Market for the next four months. Some historians believe the reason for this was worry that markets would plunge because of panic over the onset of the World War. An interesting book by William L. Silber titled When Washington Shut down Wall Street: The Great Financial Crisis of 1914 and the Origins of America’s Monetary Supremacy (2007) has a different explanation. He thinks that Secretary of the Treasury, William McAdoo closed the exchange because he wanted to conserve the US gold stock in order to launch the Federal Reserve System later that year with enough gold to keep the US on the gold standard. Whatever the reason, the first day it reopened on December 12, 1914, the index closed at 74.56, thus the War had not had the predicted impact. On October 4, 1916, the WSJ starts publishing a (new) DJIA of 20 stocks, 8 stocks from the old index and 12 new stocks. It was traced the index back to December 12, 1914 at that time. It is important to know that data for the first DJIA of 12 stocks and the second DJIA of 20 stocks are BOTH available for the 21 months and the first index was about 36% higher than the second and the data here are adjusted to make them a consistent time series. On October 1, 1928 the DJIA of 30 stocks was first quoted in the WSJ. It contained 14 stocks from the second list of 20 and 16 new stocks. Its level was consistent with the second list, so no adjustment was necessary.

In the chart below I’ve plotted the daily closing price for the series from May 1885 to Friday’s close (the blue line, log, right-hand side), along with the drawdowns (the red line, left-hand side).

Closing Prices and Drawdowns Dow Jones Industrial Avergae (DJIA)

Source: Samuel H. Williamson, ‘Daily Closing Value of the Dow Jones Average, 1885 to Present,’ MeasuringWorth, 2012.

For me there are two striking features on the chart. First, the 1929 crash is on a different scale to any other crash, dwarfing even the second biggest crash, which was the most recent one beginning in 2007. The 1929 crash began on September 4, 1929, and bottomed on July 8, 1932, down 89.2 percent. The market wouldn’t achieve its 1929 high again until November 23, 1954, more than 25 years from its last peak, and more than 22 years from the bottom. By way of contrast, the second deepest drawdown at -53.8 percent, the 2007 Credit Crisis began October 1, 2007, and ended March 4, 2013, a mere 5 years and 5 months later. The second longest drawdown began November 1905, bottomed down -48.5 percent, and ended almost 10 years later in July 1915.

The second striking feature of the chart is how much time the market spends in a drawdown. The market hits a new high about 3.8 percent of days, which means it’s in drawdown 96.2 percent of the time. In addition to the 1905 and 1929 crashes, there have been two other busts that lasted longer than 8 years, including one that ran from May 1890 and ended almost 9 years later in January 1899, and another that began January 1973, and ended November 2, 1982. And there were six more that lasted longer than four years. It makes me think we really should break out the Dow X,000 hats every time the market crosses a round number that’s a new all-time high.

It’s not all bad news. Since 1885, the Dow Jones is up 552 times, which equates to a compound annual growth rate of about 5 percent (this excludes the impact of dividends, which have been material, to the tune of around 4 percent more on average, and 1.9 percent today). From the 1932 bottom to the next all-time high in November 1954, the market returned more than double that rate at 10.6 percent. Drawdowns are the usual condition of investing, but, over the very long term, the market has continued to grow. To generate the extraordinary returns of the value deciles I’ve examined over the last few weeks, it was necessary to remain fully invested in those value stocks through thick and thin. My firm, Eyquem, offers low cost, fee-only managed accounts that implement a systematic deep value investment strategy. Please contact me by email at [email protected] or call me by telephone on (646) 535 8629 to learn more.

Oscar buzz hovering over TIFF

Bob Thompson, Postmedia News

Yearning for first Oscar love at the Toronto International Film Festival is a tradition.

Brad Pitt's Moneyball and George Clooney's The Descendants began their journeys to the Academy Awards at last year's festival.

So did The King's Speech and The Hurt Locker before that. Juno, No Country for Old Men, Slumdog Millionaire, Michael Clayton, Atonement and Eastern Promises, and many more, got their Oscar mojo working at the Toronto festival.

At the 2012 edition, Ben Affleck's Argo is attracting the most awards talk as the film builds toward the Academy Awards next year.

The film's uncanny mix of thrills and laughs in the profiling of a real-life escape escapade during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis has won lots of praise. In fact, the film seems bound to get a best picture nod, a nomination for Affleck's solid directing and another nomination for Chris Terrio's script.

Alan Arkin, who plays a sarcastic old-school movie producer in Argo, will most assuredly pick up a supporting actor nod, as well.

During an interview, Affleck said Oscar attention would be nice, but he was more interested in getting the movie released with a sound sendoff when it arrives in theatres Oct. 12.

In other film festival Oscar-wannabe news, both Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman are getting lots of attention for their roles in Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master. Phoenix plays a dysfunctional Second World War veteran trying to cope, while Hoffman portrays a charismatic 1950s self-help guru exploiting the weakness around him. Both are likely candidates.

Keira Knightley is getting raves for her Anna Karenina, and possibly headed to Oscar night with her director, Joe Wright (who collaborated on Atonement with her). The film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's classic love story might be a tougher sell.

John Hawkes won't be. He came to prominence with his Oscar-honoured role in Winter's Bone, and does it again with The Sessions at this year's festival. In the film, he plays a man stricken with polio and surviving in an iron lung. To lose his virginity, he hires a sex surrogate (Helen Hunt), and complications ensue. A second Oscar nod for Hawkes is a sure thing.

In the maybe-and-might department, consider these two winning types. Marion Cotillard's portrayal of a whale trainer in the romantic drama Rust & Bone is up to her high standards. Jim Broadbent gets to exercise his acting instrument with multiple personality definitions in Cloud Atlas. Both are close to getting nods, depending on the whims of the season.

Breaking News

NEXTZON facilitates cross border trade alliances

By Peter Egwuatu|
NEXTZON Business Serv ices Limited, one of the Nigeriaâ€™s leading enterprise building firm is breaking new grounds in forging cross border trade alliances as it recently facilitated the visit of a Brazilian Trade Mission to Nigeria.

The delegation, which arrived Nigeria recently, comprised businessmen and women in several critical areas of Nigeriaâ€™s economy such as, infrastructure, construction, power, bio fuels & ethanol, food & beverage, footwear & leather products. The trade mission met with over 200 Nigerian businessmen and entrepreneurs during the two-day mission.

Macaulay Atasie, NEXTZONâ€™s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer statedÂ  that the initiative is a further demonstration of the companyâ€™s innovativeness and leadership in the enterprise building space and its bid to expand the frontiers of Nigerian businesses.

â€œWe initiated the trade mission as part of our strategic initiative to assist Nigerian entrepreneurs access new business opportunities as well as expand their frontiers. Our goal is to assist entrepreneurs in both the financial and non-financial sectors form new ground breaking joint ventures in critical areas of our economy and the Brazilian trade mission is the first of similar initiatives that NEXTZON has lined up,â€ he said.

It will be recalled that NEXTZON has in the past assisted several Nigerian financial institutions and businesses to establish presence in about fourteen countries in West, Central, East and Southern Africa.

NEXTZON Business Services Limited was founded in March 2005 as an enterprise building and ventures advisory firm whose services include business strategy design, regional and international expansion, business process outsourcing, business modelling, fund raising, management buyouts and management oversight etc.

In its over four-year period of existence, NEXTZON has grown to become a respected and rapidly rising brand with high utility products and services, great people with exceptional talent and entrepreneurial drive and has built strong relationships with its rapidly expanding clientele. NEXTZON owns and manages the only â€˜for profitâ€™ business incubator in Nigeria which currently enjoys World Bank support. It would be recalled that NEXTZONl led the transformational relaunch of Savannah Bank Plc following the handover of the bank to its owners by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) recently.

NEXTZON has the specific responsibility of supervising the entire take over process from the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC). In addition, NEXTZON will coordinate the team of consultants and manage all the processes necessary to ensure that Savannah bank commences business on a sound footing.

â€œWe developed the overall game plan for the bank take over action and are co-ordinating the activities of all other advisers such that the takeover process moves in a seamless and synchronised manner,â€ said Atasie.
Atasie continued: â€œOur roles include developing the strategy that will shape the new Savannah Bank as well as define the roles and terms of engagement of the other consultants.â€

Prior to leading the transformation of Savannah bank, NEXTZON had previously played the role of lead advisers to SW8 Limited which recently took over the management of Wema Bank Plc.

constantly hungry & overconsuming calories :(

#1 Postby Noralie » Sun Jun 02, 2013 5:42 pm

Hello everyone,
I have been a vegan for 10 years now and have started serious weight training about a year ago. I am 165cm, weigh 57 kg and am 23 years old (20% body fat). I do 1 hour of weights + 1 hour of cardio per day with 1 off day per week. I have always been able to maintain my weight by "eating until I felt full" but since I started trying to get my bodyfat down I realized I would need to cut calories and this is proving difficult.
The problem I am having is that I almost constantly feel hungry, even after big 900 calorie meals... Protein powder seems to help but there's only so much I can use of it per day... Because I feel so hungry I find it hard to stay under 3000 calories/day. My aim would be to get it down to 2100-2200 but I am not sure how I can do this without bingeing protein powder all the time? Especially with vegan foods being so high in carbs and calories? Even complex carbs don't fill me up for long. I can eat 300g (uncooked) of quinoa (the pack says 'serves 7' and I still feel hungry within an hour...)

Any input would be most appreciated as I am still only a beginner so... :)

Thank you for your help!

Hey Noralie,

Couple ideas:
Have you considered intermittent fasting at all? Its already the start of the month, but for June, perhaps you could implement a fixed period of fasting each day?

Also, one hour of cardio is a pretty hefty amount each day, so you will naturally burn more calories. Perhaps decreasing the amount of cardio each day will help?

Also, it could be a lot of mind over matter.
Just do it.

Hello JubNZ,
Thank you for your kind reply and for giving me so much food for thought! I am still trying to find my way so will definitely consider what you have said. I haven't tried the intermittent fasting but it is a good idea. If that could work I could lay off on some cardio as well! Thanks!

One hour of cardio is too much and has been shown to increase hunger. Cut it at least in half and do high intensity intervals. 60 seconds easy, 60 seconds (or even 30 to start) balls to the wall. You can do this on a treadmill powerwalking on an incline. I do 15% incline and my balls to the wall is 5.0mph. the easy pace is 3.5. you could also try a bike but i find that my heart rate wont go as high if biking rather than treadmill. you also may be hungry if you are eating three big meals a day - try doing 6 - i eat 6 times a day (well ill admit i binged on ice cream, pb, bananas, and clif bars last night but i keep it to once a week and i just finished a competition) - each of my meals around about 300 calories and that gives me a little under 1800 cals a day. most of the hunger for me is mental so i can just tell myself you have 1.5 more hrs til u can eat again. spread your meals out so you dont overeat. for weight loss focus on increasing the intensity of your weights routine and if your cardio is easy or enjoyable (and it must be if you can endure 60 minutes) its basically useless since your body is totaly adapted to it. also make sure you are drinking at least a gallon of water a day.

Try a big salad of raw leafy greens.

The human body isn't adapted to eating processed foods and it eventually tries to compensate for the missing nutrients by telling you to eat more foods low in vitamins and minerals. The poor nutritious foods trick our brains.

VCA Symposium

The VCA symposium 2015 is a 3-day event consisting of the following:

  • Open review of 20 design projects presented by 10 international university teams by a panel of jury and experts. The design explores new urban paradigm that houses 100 000 people on 1sq km of land with the theme of "Everyone Contributes". The site is located in Paya Lebar, Singapore.
  • Lectures by invited experts on urban design and jury members.
  • Jury Forum in which the jury members will discuss their reflections and the issues raised by the various design projects.
  • An exhibition of VCA 2014 "Everyone Connects" and a book compiling lasts years' design entries will be launched at the URA Centre.

The aim of the VCA symposium is to use the 20 design projects to surface issues and explore potentials in addressing challenges of Asian high density urbanism. This year, the theme is inspired by the symbiotic structure of an ecological system. The theme emphasizes the idea of community bonding, networks, resource sharing, circular economy, collaboration, adaptability and resilience.

The Symposium is a sharing and learning platform for students, researchers and professionals. They will benefit from the discussions and reflections of ideas initiated by the design explorations.
