Pandora knows how to strike a pose even while she is relaxing.
I think I'm really going to like my new flash.
One of our cats (I'm looking at you, Mercury) somehow managed to knock down an un-knockable box which had my Olympus E-300 DSLR in it, with its FL-36 flash attached to it at the time.
Well, the hot shoe is not exactly the most structurally sound part of a camera-and-flash combination, and the fancy computerized connector broke, rendering my flash more or less useless for now. Fortunately, by coincidence, Olympus had a big sale and rebate offer on lots of stuff, including the first-generation FL-50 flash units (the new ones have the ability to operate "wirelessly" built in to them). Combine a great price at Amazon with a significant rebate from Olympus, and I now have the flash I have really wanted ever since I got the camera, the FL-50.
With a Guide Number of 50 meters, it can theoretically light up the far side of a football stadium; also, it uses four AA batteries to the FL-36's two, which gives it a much quicker refresh rate. It's also a lot smarter than the FL-36, and communicates more state information with the camera. In addition, all of Olympus' fancier flash geegaws (like the ring flash, high voltage battery pack, etc.) are basically designed around the FL-50 (that extra brainpower in the FL-50 is also actually used to control those other flash accessories), so if I ever wanted to get any of them, I'd pretty much need the FL-50 anyway.
So, like I was saying, I really think I'm going to like my new flash: I walked into the hallway, pointed the flash straight upwards, and snapped a picture of Pandora, pretty as you please — no demon-eyes, no shadows, nothing. Just a perfectly-lit picture of Pandora.
Now I need to find a football stadium to shoot across.

Berta Karlik war Österreichs erste ordentliche Professorin. Sie war von 1947 bis 1974 Leiterin des Wiener Institutes für Radiumforschung.
Kindheit und Studium:
Als ältestes von drei Kindern wurde Berta Karlik am 24. Jänner 1904 in Wien geboren. Ihr Vater, Hofrat Carl Karlik, war Direktor der Landeshypothekenanstalt für Niederösterreich. Ihre Mutter, Karoline Karlik, war eine geborene Baier.
Während der beiden ersten Volksschulklassen, in den Schuljahren 1919/11 und 1911/12, genoss sie Privatunterricht. Für die nächsten zwei Schuljahre besuchte sie die öffentliche Volksschule in Mauerbach 4. Im Studienjahr 1914/15 wechselte sie in die Privatvolksschule mit Öffentlichkeitsrecht in Wien XIII, in der Wenzgasse 7. Dort war sie von 1915 bis 1919 Schülerin des Mädchenlyzeums. Im Anschluss besuchte sie nach neuer Benennung des Schultyps das Reform- und Realgymnasium, ebenfalls im selben Schulkomplex. Im Sommersemester, am 27. Juni 1923, maturierte sie in dieser letztgenannten Anstalt mit einstimmiger Auszeichnung.
Vom Wintersemester 1923 bis einschließlich Sommersemester 1927 war sie an der Universität Wien als ordentliche Hörerin der philosophischen Fakultät inskribiert. In einem Interview sagte sie später über ihre Studienwahl:
„Ich hab’ 1923 zu studieren begonnen. Ich wollte eigentlich die Lehramtsprüfung machen, schlicht und einfach in Physik Mathematik Hauptfach, und dann aber, während des Studiums, ist dann mein Interesse immer stärker zur Physik gegangen, und das Gebiet hat mich dann besonders angezogen, und aus diesem Gebiet hab’ ich auch dann schon meine Dissertation gemacht.“
Ihre Dissertation „Über die Abhängigkeit der Szintillationen von der Beschaffenheit des Zinksulfides und das Wesen des Szintillationsvorganges“ wurde am 10. Oktober 1927 approbiert. Als Referenten fungierten Stefan Meyer und Hans Thirring.
Am 13. Jänner 1928 bestand sie das Hauptrigorosum aus Physik als Hauptfach und Mathematik als Nebenfach mit einstimmiger Auszeichnung. Am 6. Februar 1928 legte sie, ebenfalls mit einstimmiger Auszeichnung, das philosophische Rigorosum ab. Am 8. März 1928 wurde sie zum Doktor der Philosophie an der Universität Wien promoviert. Im selben Jahr legte sie die Lehramtsprüfung für Mittelschulen aus Mathematik und Physik Hauptfächer mit „sehr gutem Erfolge“ ab.

Septem artes liberales: Lo que se estudió en la Edad Media?
Como las escuelas de latinidad, la Universidad en primer lugar ofreció una educación general. Los que querían especializarse, tuvieron que prever largos períodos de estudio.
El inicio del estudio formó la asistencia a la llamada "facultad de artistas". Dispensados fueron allí como en las escuelas de latinidad los "septem artes liberales", la retórica, la gramática y la dialéctica así como la aritmética, la geometría, la astronomía y la música.
La mayoría de los alumnos se matricularon en la facultad de Artes, lo que es comparable a la educación de la escuela secundaria de hoy. Después de dos a tres años, el primer grado académico de licenciatura en artes pudo ser adquirido. Sólo después de la finalización de la facultad de artes se le permitió para llevar a cabo estudios de derecho, de medicina o de teología y ganar otro bacalario, licenciatura o doctorado. Estos estudios duraron entre cinco y siete años. Un estudio más a fondo en la facultad de artes llevó a la licenciatura o magisterio en artes libres. Períodos de estudio de hasta 15 años por lo tanto no eran infrecuentes. Los títulos de licenciado incluso se tuvo que pagar: el costo de una promoción era tan alto que la mayoría de los estudiantes no obtuvo ningún título.
Las universidades medievales enseñaban en primer lugar y no fueron instituciones de investigación. El enfoque fue la transmisión de conocimientos mediante una clase magistral. El plan de estudios de la universidad incluyó textos de autoridades reconocidos que fueron dados y comentados en la aula. En los debates sobre temas establecidos la habilidad en discusiones debió ser entrenado. Una producción de textos científicos propia no se le pidió - ni a los estudiantes, ni a los profesores.
Thema: Wissen ist Macht
1348–1900
Septem artes liberales: Was studierte man im Mittelalter?
Wie die Lateinschulen bot die Universität zuerst eine allgemeine Ausbildung. Wer sich spezialisieren wollte, musste lange Studienzeiten einplanen.
Den Anfang des Studiums bildete der Besuch der sogenannten „Artistenfakultät“. Vermittelt wurden dort wie an den Lateinschulen die „septem artes liberales“, Rhetorik, Grammatik und Dialektik sowie Arithmetik, Geometrie, Astronomie und Musik.
Die meisten Studenten absolvierten das Artistenstudium, das mit der heutigen Gymnasialbildung vergleichbar ist. Nach zwei bis drei Jahren konnte der erste akademische Grad des Baccalaureus artium erworben werden. Erst nach Abschluss der Artistenfakultät durfte man ein Studium der Rechtswissenschaften, Medizin oder Theologie absolvieren und ein weiteres Bakkalaureat, Lizentiat oder Doktorat erwerben. Diese Studien dauerten weitere fünf bis sieben Jahre. Ein Weiterstudium an der Artistenfakultät führte zum Lizentiat oder Magisterium der freien Künste. Studienzeiten von bis zu 15 Jahren waren damit keine Seltenheit. Die Abschlüsse mussten zudem bezahlt werden: Die Kosten für eine Promotion waren so hoch, dass der Großteil der Studenten keinen akademischen Grad erwarb.
Die mittelalterlichen Universitäten waren primär Unterrichts- und keine Forschungsstätten. Im Vordergrund stand die Wissensvermittlung durch die Vorlesung. Der universitäre Lehrstoff umfasste Texte anerkannter Autoritäten, die im Unterricht vorgelesen und kommentiert wurden. In Debatten zu vorgegebenen Themen sollte das Diskussionsvermögen geschult werden. Eine eigene wissenschaftliche Textproduktion war nicht gefragt – weder von Studierenden noch Lehrenden.

PLYMOUTH STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
The complete makeover of your father's OPAC requires not only brainpower but also money. The underlying software and the time required of the many developers involved in projects such as the one at NCSUL take both. However, gradual but significant rejuvenation can be done using open source software with relatively small labor costs, benefiting from the labor of love of talented individuals who want to innovate and create a millennials-pleasing OPAC. This description easily fits Casey Bisson, an information technologist at Lamson Library at Plymouth State University Library in Plymouth, N.H. He created a very attractive prototype for a front-end to the OPAC of PSU using the open source WordPress blog management software (www.plymouth.edu/library/opac).
It makes the catalog look much more state-of-the-art, promoting resource discovery and query refinement by offering a multidimensional view of the results set by subjects, authors, and media formats. Clusters by years or 5-year ranges could also be useful, and the subject keys are a bit redundant.
Plymouth State's OPAC also incorporates, if available, on-the-fly (or meshes) into the catalog record the cover pages, some editorial book reviews, book descriptions, table of content pages from Amazon, and some of its special services such as the Search Inside This Book cell if the full text of the book is searchable. It also creates a permanent link to the book for quick lookup from a reading list or wish list.
It may not be perfect--sometimes it shows source codes; it could be more compact; and the long list of most the popular books, recent blog comments, and recent searches (unrelated to the book being looked at) are distracting and use too much space, but WPopac is a huge step forward. It makes the archaic catalogs much more appealing and is an awesome example of what a competent and motivated person can do to promote an OPAC (and a library). It has become the official alternate catalog at the Lamson Library. Bisson plans to release the source code, allowing other libraries to adapt it as a front-end to their catalogs, and provide additional open source enhancements for systems librarians or anyone else who can write WordPress plug-ins and script codes. To really appreciate the enhancements, do a side-by-side comparison by opening a new tab with the same URL minus the OPAC part to get to the traditional catalog and display the two tabs in a split-screen mode.
[Editor's note: Jacsó isn't the only one to appreciate Bisson's OPAC development. In December, Bisson received the Mellon Award for Technology Collaboration.]

Brainpower speelde zijn filelied "Hing Hing" op de A1 in de ochtendshow van Giel Beelen, totdat hij werd opgepakt...
I like CCD sensors (nowadays, you'll find CMOS sensors almost exclusively in digital cameras of any description). I also like old cameras, which in the case of digital cameras doesn't really mean "old", it just means that the makers have issued a "new and improved" model where they managed to cram ever more pixels onto an ever smaller sensor and use ever more software on ever more powerful processors to filter our the inevitably resulting image noise.
Fujifilm for some time fought the trend towards CMOS in its pocket digital camera lineup and invested quite a lot of brainpower into improving the CCD before they too gave up and joined the CMOS crowd. Not because CMOS is better, but because it is cheaper. One of their last CCD models, and one that was well-received, was the F31fd in 2007.
I recently obtained one and have been shooting hundreds of pictures with it. Here are some.
It's equipped with a 6 MP sensor. That was quite a lot for a compact camera in 2007. In my opinion, 6 MP is quite enough. I'd prefer six good, honest Megapixels over many of today's overwrought sensors.
So here is what I managed to squeeze out of the F31fd.
The verdict: It's not bad; I've seen worse. But:
- The images simply are not sharp. They are not sharp. That is not a matter of resolution. The camera just doesn't make sharp images .This really is my major gripe.
- There definitely is an issue with chromatic aberration (colour fringes). You see it everywhere to varying extents where there is strong contrast. That happens not to be the case in most of these examples. But it is a problem.
- I found I really have to work hard towards a decent image quality with this camera. That in itself is not a problem. Many of my cameras are like that - the ones I like most. But I do suppose that most pocket camera users have the expectation that their camera will simply produce good pictures when they point it at something and press the shutter button, but that is not the case.
Spenden und Ehrungen
Die Universität litt in der Nachkriegszeit unter massiven finanziellen Schwierigkeiten, die nur durch Hilfeleistungen aus dem Ausland (besonders USA, Argentinien, Schweiz und Schweden) bewältigt werden konnten. So wurden durch amerikanische und schweizerische Hilfsaktionen ab 1919 Nahrungsmittel für bedürftige Studierende bereitgestellt. Im Sommer 1919 wurden für hunderte Wiener Studierende Ferienreisen in die Schweiz sowie nach Schweden organisiert. Unter den zahlreichen Organisationen, die in den Nachkriegsjahren die Universität Wien, ihre Studierenden und Lehrenden mit Nahrungs-, Kleider-, Bücher- und Geldspenden unterstützten, sind besonders die American Relief Administration, der von Edward S. Harkness gestiftete Commonwealth Fund in New York, die Friends Relief Mission der Quäker, das Oxford Committee for the Help of Universities in Central Europe, die Rockefeller Foundation sowie die von dem New Yorker Anthropologen Franz Boas mitbegründete “Emergency Society for German and Austrian Science and Art” zu nennen.
Um sich für die „hervorragenden materiellen Förderungen“ erkenntlich zu zeigen, wurden ab 1921 über 50 SpenderInnen mit dem eigens dafür eingeführten Auszeichnungen Ehrenzeichen bzw. der Ehrenmedaille geehrt. Unter den Ausgezeichneten waren u.a. der argentinische Präsident Hipólito Irigoyen sowie der spätere US-amerikanische Präsident Herbert Hoover.
Um internationale Kontakte im Sinne der „Völkerversöhnung“ weiter zu fördern, beteiligten sich außerdem zahlreiche internationale Gelehrte (u.a. William Beveridge) an den 1922 neugeschaffenen „Wiener Internationalen Hochschulkursen“, die neben Sprachkursen auch Vortragsreihen zu geistes- und kulturgeschichtlichen Themen boten.
Die Studierenden
Die Studierendenzahlen, die infolge des Krieges um rund die Hälfte gesunken waren, nahmen unmittelbar nach Kriegsende wieder rasch zu, da nun mehrere Maturajahrgänge, die in den Jahren zuvor kriegsbedingt nicht inskribieren hatten können, gleichzeitig an die Universitäten kamen. Im Wintersemester 1918/19 waren bereits wieder 10.554 Studierende (15 % Frauen) an der Universität Wien eingeschrieben. Neben rückkehrenden Soldaten, die Studienerleichterungen erhielten, stellten besonders Flüchtlinge aus den früheren östlichen Provinzen der Monarchie (Galizien, Bukowina, Polen), von denen viele jüdisch waren, eine große Gruppe. Die Inskriptionsbedingungen für ausländische Studierende wurden während der Ersten Republik zunehmend verschärft.
Nachdem mit 12. November 1918 das Frauenwahlrecht eingeführt wurde, folgte 1919 die erstmalige Zulassung von weiblichen Studierenden an der Rechts- und Staatswissenschaftlichen Fakultät.
Bereits im November 1918 forderte die Wiener Evangelische Fakultät – zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch nicht Teil der Universität – die Regierung des neugebildeten Staates Deutschösterreich auf, die „Eingliederung in den Organismus der Wiener Universität nunmehr endlich “ zu verwirklichen. 1922 wurde die Evangelisch-Theologische Fakultät endlich als fünfte Fakultät der Universität inkorporiert und öffnete 1923 auch für Frauen den Zugang zum Studium.
Symbolische Umbrüche 1918
Da die Promotionsurkunden bis 1918 die lateinische Formulierung enthalten hatten, dass die Promotionen unter den Auspizien des Kaisers vollzogen worden waren, machte die Republiksgründung auch hier eine Änderung nötig. Die im 17. Jahrhundert eingeführte Ehrung in Form einer „promotio sub auspiciis imperatoris“ wurde mit dem Ende der Monarchie ebenso abgeschafft. Der Tag der Ausrufung der Republik Österreich – der 12. November 1918 – schrieb sich für einige Jahre auf symbolischer Ebene unübersehbar in die Geschichte der Universität Wien ein: Das Hauptgebäude der Universität Wien, das 1884 am „Franzensring“ – benannt nach Franz I., dem ersten Kaiser von Österreich – eröffnet worden war, erhielt 1919 die Adresse „Ring des 12. November“ zur Erinnerung an die Republiksgründung, bis 1934 die Umbenennung in „Dr.-Karl-Lueger-Ring“ erfolgte.
Die meisten Traditionen und Rituale wurden jedoch nach der Zäsur 1918 ungebrochen fortgeführt. In Form des „Heldengedenkens“ hinterließ der Erste Weltkrieg auch in der universitären Gedenkkultur deutliche Spuren: So fand etwa am 1. November 1919 im Großen Festsaal eine großangelegte Trauerfeier der Wiener Hochschulen statt. Besonders aber der 1923 in der Aula aufgestellte „Siegfriedskopf“ – „errichtet von der Deutschen Studentenschaft und ihren Lehrern“ für die in „Ehren gefallenen Helden unserer Universität“ – glorifizierte den Heldentod der einer „deutschen“ Jugend als kämpfenden Studenten.

A portrait of our cat, Ellie, processed with an orton effect in photoshop. I liked the expression in her eyes, which made me wonder what she's thinking. Though I suspect the majority of her brainpower may be engaged in finding ways to get more cheese.

PART 2: Prevention as Policy
One of the most significant elements of the ACA is an increased focus on preventive care. How can digital health: 1) help employers score incentives by creating healthier workplaces, 2) create lower-cost diagnostic tools for mandatory free prevention screenings, and 3) continue to support ACOs in their quest to remain accountable? Speakers include: Christopher Wasden, Managing Director, PwC, Dr. Samir Damani, Founder & CEO Cardiology, Genomic & Digital Medicine, MD Revolution, Dr. Richard Migliori, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealth Group, and Marco Peluso, CEO, Qardio, Inc.

The Dog Tornado is a popular dog game from Nina Ottosson that requires some brainpower and patience from the dog playing. After the white bones are removed, the layers must be spun (using a nose or paws) in order to find the hidden treats. But, if the dog spins too fast the treats will just zoom on by. Tricky but fun and dogs love finding the hidden treat rewards! Enjoy, ActiveDogToys
Mr. Price and I have both been working so hard lately, both under such harsh deadlines and so strung out with work, and yet... today he still runs out in the rain to the Farmer's Market to get me flowers. Sigh!
Made me all nostalgic tonight, especially after 13 solid hours of edits and discussion of edits turned my brain into little more than a bucket of primordial goo.
I keep meaning to file all the scans of the artistic aspects of the woo packages we sent back and forth before I moved in one place. No time like the present, especially since it takes no brainpower whatsoever and makes me all googly. (All the better, too, since he just came home and is sitting all steamy in the bath!)
Danillo with his 'Boks Ouwe' shirt. Obviously it's a homage to 'Run DMC', but it also refers to a song of the Dutch MC called Brainpower. This photo was taken during our so-called "I (heart) Threadless" photoshoot.
So, today I went to the Lovely Sarah's family Christmas party in Detroit.
I had a great time -- meeting over 30 new people (all of whom hugged me), but boy does that require a lot of brainpower.
Along the way, I decided that it was probably best not to be the crazy new guy running around with a camera. Things didn't wind down until quite late, and this is what I looked like when I finally got a moment of peace and quiet! :D
2 days left in my 365!
