Though the picture looks cheesy for a typography, this actually was the least cheesy wordings I could come up with. The font is not too professional and really simple, makes the photo feel like one from Lifetouch photography. I digress, the photos mood was supposed to be simply happy and I think Ryan's smile nailed that. Answering this weeks question is it just adds an extra layer of emotion.
What a difference a bit of rain makes!

Peace Corps Volunteers ready to make a difference
Thirteen new United States Peace Corps Volunteers were sworn in on Tuesday, December 18, as a final step before moving into villages for their two year assignments. The volunteers just completed an intensive 10-week Pre-Service Training Tuesday and have begun transferring to their individual villages scattered throughout Upolu and Savaii.
Their primary focus is to improve primary school students’ English literacy. In addition, several volunteers are going to villages that were severely affected by Cyclone Evan and will have the unique opportunity to help repair and rebuild the schools they will be working in, as well as help the affected communities in additional ways.
In light of recent events, the volunteers were sworn in by U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Chad Berbert in a private ceremony at the U.S. Embassy Office in Matafele. The following day the volunteers and staff from the U.S. Embassy joined hands with Samoa Victim Support Group to help clean out the SVSG office at the old police building.
“It was quite the task as mud had accumulated up to a foot high in some places due to Cyclone Evan,” Mr. Berbert said. “SVSG is doing great things for people in this country, including aiding people who are suffering because of Cyclone Evan. I’m very happy we could play a small part in helping to return the favor and assist them in recovering from the storm.”
The new Volunteers are eager to start their two year assignments, which will keep them in Samoa until December 2014.

The City of Malden, assisted by Congressman Ed Markey, was awarded an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant for the procurement of Onsite Renewable Technology. Part of the grant was used to install solar panels on Malden High School and to perform an energy audit of municipal buildings. Another portion of the grant was used to procure 108 LED streetlights for an initial deployment around Malden Center on City owned streetlight poles. New LED streetlights were installed on both sides of Florence Street from Main to Commercial, on one side of Commercial Street from Route 60 to Charles Street, and LED lighting was installed where possible on both sides of Route 60 from the Beebe School to Malden High School.

Stephen Carver, “Class Difference”, digital photograph, 2008, The Great Depression Collection, Atlanta, GA.
During the Great Depression, millions of Americans were in poverty and dropped in status. Many people who were use to the middle class and suburban life were in for quite the change. From October in 1929 when the stock market crashed to 1941, millions of people had their lives drastically changed from what they were use to. People were losing their jobs left and right. Those who once worked in factories were laid off since nobody was buying or just couldn’t afford the products that were being made. Farmers across the nation could not make a living since the world’s price for agricultural goods dropped drastically in price and all the extra crops that have been farmed were now being put into warehouses. Many farmers then turned to raising cows, pigs and chickens to accumulate for their losses in crops. In Europe, the farmers were suffering the same agricultural problems. Economist could not explain why the prices in food were going down. The European nations made the decision to put a tariff on foreign foods and import quotas. Producers of staple crops received a huge blow. Since many of those farmers purchased land and heavy machinery during the war, they could not afford mortgage payments and repairs, thus leading them into bankruptcy. Yet some people were still able to maintain their standard of living despite the economic condition American was suffering. Depending on your job or career, you still might have been able to pull through these hard times. My Grandfather was just a child during the Great Depression. He remembers what it was like for many of the people during those days. Yet he was one of the fortunate ones. His father was a butcher and owned his own shop. So for his family, they had enough meat to last them throughout the Depression. On occasion, they would have people off the streets come in the store and beg for food. My great grandfather would have to tell them to leave or he would notify the police. Most of the time, they would just leave, yet on one occasion, my grandfather told of a man who robbed the store of some ham and ran off. Overall, the majority of the people of America were on the same boat. In times like the Great Depression, so many people would commit acts just to keep themselves or their loved ones from starving on the cold, unforgiving streets.

Something that has always stuck with me is, "weather is the convergence of two or more fronts." That is to say it might rain, it might snow on its own, but severe weather is the result of two different and potentially harmless fronts colliding and forming a storm! The more fronts that converge, or the greater the difference in the two fronts, the worse the weather that generally results.
While Mount Washington has notoriously erratic weather, the Northern Presidential’s largely share the same weather. Generally wind gust on mount Washington are slightly stronger because of it's prominence, but if Mount Washington is being hit with 100mph winds, it's not unreasonable based on extrapolation to determine that the neighboring summits are receiving AT LEAST hurricane force winds of 70mph!
Mount Washington and the Northern Presidential’s, including Clay, Jefferson, Adams (and sub summits), and Madison weather patterns are partly due to the convergence of several storm tracks. Along with it's location relatively close to the coast, it's prominence (height above the neighboring land), proximity to converging storm tracks (Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf and Arctic), and it's north-south orientation which prevents movement of fronts by prevailing westerly winds; low-pressure systems are notoriously prone to develop along the coastline in the winter months. The relative temperature differences between the interior Northeast and the Atlantic Ocean, along with arctic fronts drifting in from Canada and beyond are primarily responsible for the diverse and completely unpredictable weather in this region.
Mount Washington holds the world record for surface wind speed, at 231 mph (372 km/h) since April 12, 1934. It's entirely possible stronger winds have occurred on earth. Specifically in F5 tornadoes which often have 300+mph winds above the surface. Winds exceeding hurricane force occur on an average of 110 days per year. During the winter months the weather on the summits of these mountains is exceptionally brutal. With hurricane force winds 2 out of every 3 days, and wind chills often dipping into the -40F/-40C range!
In 2004, the summit registered a temperature of −43.6F/−42.0C and sustained winds of 87.5 mph (140.8 km/h). The resultant wind chill was below -100F!! During 3 day period adjoining the day of this -100F wind chill, the combined ambient temperature, and wind speed, never brought wind chill above -50F at any point!
The summit of Mount Washington spends approximately 240 days per year on average in the clouds. There is measurable precipitation on the summit of Mount Washington 209 days a year. The summit sees an average of 101 inches of rain, and 259 inches of snow per year.
While these numbers might be eclipsed many places in the world in either isolated or routine instances, very few have had the continuous and accurate weather data that this summit has had. There has been a continuously operating weather station on the summit since the 1870s, and it has been a model for weather stations around the world!
Beyond the severe weather, and continuously manned and monitored weather station providing perhaps the most detailed historical and confirmed data of any mountain in the world, there is one other aspect to Mount Washington, and the surrounding Northern and Southern Presidential Ranges ACCESS!
While many mountains and ranges around the world have arguably worse weather on any given day (and I stress arguably), very few see the sheer volume of hikers, climbers and skiers that this range sees. Within the range is some of the best moderate ice climbing in the Northeastern US, as well as some great alpine rock climbs, the most accessible and reliable backcountry skiing (although the Adirondacks are a close, and less crowded second!!), and an amazing alpine experience for hikers and winter mountaineers! This accessibility has allowed many unprepared backcountry explorers to find themselves in over their heads in rapidly deteriorating conditions. The result, while again debatable, has given Mount Washington, and to a lesser extent the Presidential’s a place as the deadliest small mountain in the world!!

Sainsbury Taste the Difference Tap Room IPA
Its 6.3%, 355mls, had an aroma that was cream, toffee and some spice to it.
Again good carbonation and good head, this was a bit better although thin in the mouth. It had a better balance of the malt, some fruitness and spice, but rather light on the bitterness, at least there was some in this beer though.

Could you also provide me with a few quotes by answering these questions:
What is your best memory of WSSU?
"My best memory was attending the Annual Biomedical Research Conference (ABRCMS) with the MARC U*Star and RISE NGIMS Program. It was a wonderful experience. I got to see friends I've made over the years from other institutions and the graduate school fair was extremely helpful in my decision for the next step. I also enjoyed volunteering at the organic garden down the street."
What do you love about WSSU?
"The faculty and administrators are VERY welcoming. They've provided meals for me, transportation to the airport, taken me to their church and even invited me in to their homes. They really look out for my well-being. I don't have any family nearby so its is wonderful to find so many people that are willing to make sure that I am okay. The same goes for students. WSSU truly fosters a familial environment."
What do you plan on doing after you graduate?
"I expect to start my biomedical sciences PhD at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY. I currently have plans to pursue neuroscience however, I am open to whatever presents the most interest during my rotations.
How has WSSU prepared you for the future?
"As a member of WSSU's RISE program, it is expected that we have something lined up post graduation therefore, they are more than accommodating for such preparation. They funded me and several other senior for Kaplan GRE prep, they granted us half off vouchers (we'd only pay $100 instead of the $200), and they wrote AMAZING recommendation letters for each school that I applied. They also guided me in writing my personal statement. In addition to my program, my amazing mentor Dr. Kanu did they same. He also nominated me for several awards that I didn't even know existed, incorporated me into his international Chemist without Borders Sierra Leone Project and facilitated three publications. He would drill me every poster presentation and made sure I was able to explain everything in the simplest way possible (which is not easy) so that any and everyone could understand. Because of his mentoring, I won a poster award at ABRCMS and I also received an honorary second place award through MARC/RISE for Scholarship Day. Presentations are VERY important in graduate school because it is necessary to be able to relay your research. As a transfer student, I don't think I would have found that type of support and encouragement anywhere else.
How has WSSU made a difference in your life?
"I came to WSSU as a transfer student. I walked away from a full scholarship and WSSU offered to support me for the remainder of my degree (shout out to the admissions department!). It provided a healthy environment to continue my education, conduct research and continue to explore my musical interests."
