What sparked your interest in science?
Science has always caught my attention ever since elementary; through minor observations and experiments, I began to grow fond of the subject and all the good it brought to us. Although in elementary the material was no where as dense as today, the goal was the same – to figure out how the physical and natural world functioned. The realization that everything around us can some how be tied back to science was a startling idea. Science is such a broad field and the possibilities are truly endless. Just knowing that there is still so much more to be discovered in this field is what keeps me intrigued and wanting to further my education.
Why did you choose UT Austin?
After careful consideration, I realized that UT Austin was the best school for me to attend because of all the resources it would provide me with. Also, UT was/is ranked as one of the best colleges not only in Texas, but in the Nation and the World, so that also had a major influence on my decision. Another thing I considered was the location of the school, since I would be living there for the next 4 years. Not only is Austin the Capital of Texas, but there are also so many other activities to do year-round. In my eyes, the obvious choice was UT Austin; not only would I be receiving my education from a very prestigious University, but I would also be living in a city that has so much to offer.
How (or why) did you choose your major?
I chose to major in biology because of all of the opportunities that the degree can bring you. Also, taking courses as a Biology major meets many of the requirements for health profession schools.
What have you gained/experienced at UT that you perhaps didn't expect?
Although in high school I held many leadership positions, I never thought I would be as involved at UT as I was in high school. But actually, it has been the opposite and I have participated in many more extracurricular activities here at UT than I did in high school. For one, I never thought I would be working as a student recruiter and be speaking in front of crowds giving information sessions to prospective students and their families. UT not only gave me the opportunity to do this, but it also challenged me to take on this responsibility in order to grow as a student and prepare for the future.
What UT Academic Programs and Student Organizations have you participated in?
UT offers countless (over 1000) programs and organizations for students to get involved with. Personally, I have participated in academic programs such as Summer Bridge, University Leadership Network (ULN), and Texas Interdisciplinary Program (TIP Scholars ). As for student organizations, I am an officer in the Texas Pre-Dental Society. I have also participated in various intramural sport leagues. I am also a member of the CNS Council for Diversity Engagement (CDE), which serves under Dean Vanden Bout and helps enhance the college experience of underserved students in the College of Natural Sciences. In addition, I was also part of Global Medical Brigades, where I got the chance to travel to Nicaragua and provide medical attention to the underserved citizens. All of these programs have had a major influence on my success inside and outside the classroom. Without them, I would not be where I am today.
Your most rewarding or exciting experience as a CNS student?
One of the best things that comes from being a CNS student at UT is the fact that you get to meet a lot of fascinating people. Aside from making friends in class who share similar goals and enthusiasm over science, you are also being taught by the best professors out there. Every single instructor in the CNS is truly remarkable. They are all unique and extremely well qualified. Everyday in class you learn something new, and leave in awe by the way your professor relates the information. Everyday is exciting for students in the CNS as you never know what to expect from your professors, whether its Tiff’s Treats one day, a pop quiz the next, live music, or live explosions.
Advice for students considering UT's College of Natural Sciences?
One of the biggest misconceptions that incoming students have is that they will never get to meet their professors, or vice versa, due to the size of the class. I can speak from experience and honestly say that this is certainly not true. Not only did my chemistry professor know my name, but she knew the names of all her students in all of her classes. Aside from that, I was also able to have lunch with many of my professors and speak to them as if I was talking to a friend. Our professors are really passionate about what they do, and they really have our best interests in mind. Another thing I might add, is that your work/study ethics must change. This is something that we here constantly but never really understand. The faster you realize it however, the better off you will be. The CNS is by no means a walk in the park. It’s going to take up the majority of your time and will require some sacrifices. The thing to keep in mind, however, is to remind your self of why you are here, what your motive is, and to realize that the reward is worth the cost.
Your time at UT in one sentence...
My time at UT has been a thrilling experience highlighted by learning, growth, and a lot of new friendships made.
What are your plans after graduation?
My near future goals are to graduate from UT in May of 2017 with a Bachelors of Science in Biology and an acceptance letter from a Dental School in Texas.
For Take a Class with Dave and Dave Assignment: "Photographer's Choice", I went right to abstract. When you don't have to take a picture of "something", you might as well take a picture of "nothing"!
BTW, this particular "nothing" is a rusted hub on a piece of farm equipment in a junkyard. i have no idea what it actually was - feel free to venture a guess.
W Hoboken
225 River Street
Hoboken, New Jersey
The W's 2nd floor pre-function area.
-----------------------
The W Hoboken Hotel & Residences opened in the spring of 2009. The 26 story condo-hotel has 225 hotel rooms and 40 condominium residences. The $150 million hotel sits on the Hudson riverfront in Hoboken, New Jersey - named after the Old Dutch word Hoebuck, meaning high bluff) - facing mid-town Manhattan. This type of condo-hotel property is generally found in splashy cities such as Miami or Hong Kong. It took Hoboken talent, the Applied Development Company based in Hoboken, to find the wherewithal to develop such an ambitious and hip hotel for Hoboken.
Applied Development Company has extensive ownership and management experience in Hoboken’s apartment market, having built many residential and mix use projects. The principals of Applied Development Company (other legal entities are 225 River Street LLC and Ironstate Development Co.) are David and Michael Barry. Their father Walter and older brother Joseph started Applied Development in 1970 and helped develop Hoboken's gritty riverside into a desired residential area teeming with restaurants, shops and young professionals. Walter has passed the business to two younger sons, David and Michael. In 2004 Joseph Barry was sentenced to two years in federal prison for making kickbacks to county executives.
Applied recently completed the Pier Village, a mix use project in Long Branch, NJ which includes a boutique 40-room hotel - The Bungalow. The Bungalow is a very hip, yet luxury hotel which town planners say revitalized the Jersey Shore town of Long Branch. Also, the Barry brothers are in the early development stage for a W Hotel in Marrakech, Morocco.
The architect was Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects - a NYC firm which also designed the W New York - Downtown Hotel and Residential Condominiums located next to the World Trade Center Memorial Site and The Setai Fifth Avenue in NYC, a 57-story hotel and residential tower containing 157 hotel rooms, 57 hotel apartments.
The W Hoboken was designed with a wedge-shaped tower - this to maximize the number of hotel rooms that would have Manhattan/Hudson River views. The 225 hotel rooms are located in the 14-story mid-section of the tower with the upper 9 floors containing the 40 condominium residences.
It was reported that the 40 condos were sold out quickly and at record prices for Hoboken. According to realdeal.com the average condo price in the building was $1,075 per square foot or upwards of $2 million for a 1,900 sq. ft. two-bedroom.
There were early opponents to the construction of the hotel. In 2004 the Hoboken City Council approved the hotel's construction by a narrow vote of 5-4. Many felt the 26-story glass tower did not fit into the fabric of what Hoboken's waterfront looks like. The W Hoboken, a metal and glass building, contrasts sharply with the existing mid-rise, masonry buildings on the river front.
Barry Sternlicht, the founder of Starwood Hotels, is credited with the creation of W Hotels. Following Starwood’s acquisition of Westin Hotels in 1994 he determined there was a need for a "smaller but urban" Westin Brand - therefore the name W Hotel. Starwood's first W Hotel opened in 1998 with the W New York, a multi-million dollar conversion of the Doral Inn hotel at 541 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan.
As stated in the hotel's opening press release - "the W Hoboken provides a contemporary cool environment for both international jetsetters and local loyalists".
The first two floors of the building houses The Chandelier Room lounge and Zylo Steakhouse, W's Living Room with 40 foot ceilings, a Bliss spa, fitness facility, a wood-paneled multi-purpose ballroom, and multiple conference rooms.
The hotel's all-day dining room is Zylo. The restaurant is operated by Cornerstone Restaurant Group (operators of Michael Jordan-brand restaurants). The opening chef was Troy Unruh. In May 2011 Seadon Shouse was appointed Executive Chef. Shouse previously was the Sous Chef with Morgan’s Hotel Group at the Hudson Hotel.
The hotel's 2nd floor indoor/outdoor cocktail lounge is the Chandelier Room. W Hoboken owners Michael and David Barry contracted with the EMM Group’s Eugene Remm, Mark Birnbaum and Michael Hirtenstein to conceptualize and operate the destination, high-energy bar. EMM is well-known for the success of their Manhattan club - Tenjune.
Anna MacDiarmid is the general manager for the W Hotel in Hoboken. She is quoted saying the focus of the hotel is on personalized service and “whatever a guest wants whenever they want it as long as it is legal.”
W Hoboken appointed Katie Donald to Director of Sales and Marketing in January 2012. She previously served as the Director of Sales and Marketing for Starwood at The Westin Auckland in her native New Zealand.

The fate of points when the gamma function is applied repeatedly. The blue areas converge to 1, their color denotes distance after 30 iterations. The green areas go to infinity. Colour denotes number of iterations before becoming very large.
Picked this camera up for 10 pounds with original packaging and cables, 10 years old now this camera, but the super macro function is great :)
Friends we know that anything whenever explained with the help of diagram or any pictorial representation then that can be better understood by any student. That’s why graphing of mathematical equation is also an important thing to learn. Today we are going to talk about graphing and Graphing Functions. Graphing is a way of representing any equation as its 2D representation or any linear shape on a plane surface with the help of co -ordinates which are determined by using the concept of X and Y intercept.
Related to this analgesic function is swearing’s well-known cathartic power. When you drop your grocery bag into a puddle or close the window on your finger, geez Louise is not going to help you much.
Fuck is what you need, the more so, Adams says, because it doesn’t just express an emotion; it states a philosophical truth. By its very extremeness, it is saying that “one has found the end of language and can go no further. Profanity is no parochial gesture, then. It strikes a complaint against the human condition.”
And in allowing us to do so verbally, it prevents more serious damage. “Take away swearwords,” writes Melissa Mohr, “and we are left with fists and guns.”
The same is no doubt true of obscene gestures. According to Bergen, people have been giving each other the finger for over two thousand years, and that must certainly be due in part to its usefulness in forestalling stronger action.
