Every couple gets ecstatic when they get to know that they are going to become the proud parents for the first time in life. Everything in their life changes. A lot of time they spend on planning how to look after the baby and shopping for baby?s things etc. Buying things and setting up a nursery occupies a lot of their time.

OK, now let?s take a look at some handy guidelines.
Of course the thought of giving birth as well as tending to a newborn infant can be quite daunting due to the couple?s inexperience. As they have no prior exposure and experience it is but natural that they should be concerned and worried.
In fact looking after and nurturing the baby is quite a natural instinct if only the mother can tune in and follow the same. If you tune into your intuition you will find all the answers that come naturally to you. This is the natural way by which all animals and birds learn to tend to their young ones.They do not refer to any book or go to classes.
Learning about baby care involves not only about what to provide for the baby at different phases of growth, but also to learn about how to maintain good health of the child. You get a chart which details when and what vaccination is required to be given to the child and is monitored by the mother and the paediatrician.
As far as the dental health of the child goes, the parents often give it a miss without knowing how important it is to give proper attention to this matter. Do not think that you have to think of dental care only when the baby grows up. Most people make the mistake of thinking that brushing and dental hygiene comes into picture only after the children grow up and get full set of teeth. This thought is totally wrong. It is not only the dental health but oral hygiene is what all parents have to think about and be aware of. In fact until such time that the child is able to be able to take care of his oral hygiene and dental health independently, it becomes the duty of the parents to take care until then.
As soon as you start feeling the newborn, the oral hygiene maintenance too must begin. Once you have started feeding the baby, it is important to clean the mouth as well as run your soft fingers on the gums of the baby and clean thoroughly. There can be traces of mother?s milk in the mouth which will attract bacteria to make home in the gums. Wipe the mouth clean with soft wet cotton cloth so that the skin becomes fresh and not sticky. Continue with this ritual until such time that the baby starts developing teeth.
As soon as the child has developed the milk teeth, check with your doctor and buy a soft toothbrush that he recommends and start brushing the teeth at least once a day. Buy the toothpaste that is suggested by your doctor.? Make it a habit of brushing the teeth once daily early morning without fail.Going forward once the baby has developed several teeth, you should start brushing twice daily.
Annual dental check-up is a must for your child every year. This will help the doctor identify and avoid any chances of defects or abnormalities that can develop and preventive steps can be immediately taken to arrest any damage.

JERUSALEM?? Two thousand years after they were written and decades after they were found in desert caves, some of the world-famous Dead Sea Scrolls went online for the first time on Monday in a project launched by Israel's national museum and web giant Google.
The appearance of five of the most important Dead Sea scrolls on the Internet is part of a broader attempt by the custodians of the celebrated manuscripts ? who were once criticized for allowing them to be monopolized by small circles of scholars ? to make them available to anyone with a computer.
See msnbc.com's PhotoBlog for more Dead Sea Scroll photos.
The scrolls include the biblical Book of Isaiah, the manuscript known as the Temple Scroll, and three others. Surfers can search high-resolution images of the scrolls for specific passages, zoom in and out, and translate verses into English.
The originals are kept in a secured vault in a Jerusalem building constructed specifically to house the scrolls. Access requires at least three different keys, a magnetic card and a secret code.
The five scrolls are among those purchased by Israeli researchers between 1947 and 1967 from antiquities dealers, having first been found by Bedouin shepherds in the Juddvean Desert.
The scrolls, considered by many to be the most significant archaeological find of the 20th century, are thought to have been written or collected by an ascetic Jewish sect that fled Jerusalem for the desert 2,000 years ago and settled at Qumran, on the banks of the Dead Sea. The hundreds of manuscripts that survived, partially or in full, in caves near the site, have shed light on the development of the Hebrew Bible and the origins of Christianity.
The most complete scrolls are held by the Israel Museum, with more pieces and smaller fragments found in other institutions and private collections. Tens of thousands of fragments from 900 Dead Sea manuscripts are held by the Israel Antiquities Authority, which has begun its own project to put them online in conjunction with Google. That project, aimed chiefly at scholars, is set to be complete by 2016, at which point nearly all of the scrolls will be available on the Internet.

What do the following have in common: Ice skating, noodle hockey, healthy snacks, dancing, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger? They were all part of a recent Customer Appreciation Event at the Northbrook Sports Center. An estimated 365 people attended the event, enjoying free skating and skate rental, music, games and demonstrations.
?It was amazing, with the ice divided and activities for everyone at the same time,? reports Eileen Loftus, Leisure Services Manager for the Northbrook Park District, which manages the Sports Center. ?The adults and kids looked like they were having a great time playing hockey with floor hockey sticks, foam pucks, noodles and balls. And then to add to that, demonstrations of speedskating and figure skating as well as games and dancing! I am confident in saying that there were no complaints and all smiles.?
The Sports Center planned the event to thank loyal patrons and welcome new ones. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger were surprise costumed characters who skated with young children. Skaters also enjoyed noodle hockey ? a gentle form of hockey, played with swimming pool ?noodles.?
Along with fun and games, the Sports Center staff tried to deliver a message about the health benefits of ice sports. ?Skating builds strength and endurance, boosts balance and flexibility, and burns calories, even for beginners,? says Ann Marie Shipstad, a former professional skater with experience in all four ice sports (figure skating, hockey, speedskating and curling), who is the new Special Event and Group Programmer at the Sports Center. ?The benefits include discipline, setting and meeting goals, tenacity and perseverance. These are skills you have your whole life, and these are lifetime sports,? she adds.
The staff at the Sports Center is planning more special events for the community, including a Winter Open House on January 14. Details will be announced on the Northbrook Park District website, nbparks.org, and in the Winter/Spring Recreation Guide, which will be mailed to residents by mid-November.
The garage, which traditionally has been one of the most unfinished and disorganized space, is now treated as the hot space of today. People?s desire to have a multi usage room that will also be beautiful enough to serve as the cause of their neighbor?s envy gave rise to this trend about 20 years ago. That same mentality is driving the trend toward outfitting the garage for tool and equipment storage, sports gear, home projects, and hobbies.
The garage tops the list of the current hot spots and the people are willing to spend any amount of money to make it look the best according to the president of the wall storage system manufacturer. The garage must be flexible as the extra car bays quite often serve as workshops and storage areas. These days, home owners want that their garages to be as functional and as organized as their kitchens.
The purchasers of the higher scale wouldn?t compromise with respect to their garage requirements. Better utilization of space is preferred by him. Remodeling builders have now started using organizational furniture and different accessories of storage purposes to style the area by making complete utilization of the given area and turn it into a multi-purpose space for the homeowner.
in the recent years, some manufactures have started offering modular organization systems that have been specifically designed to withstand the fluctuations in the temperature of the garage, caustic household chemicals, as well as the weight of equipment and the tools. The most advanced product brought up by these remodeling organizations is the wall panel which allows various kinds of shelves, drawers, cabinets and hooks to be fixed upon it and is mobile so that it can be placed as per the wish and the need of the house owner. To withstand the damaging effects of extreme temperature cycles the wall panels are made from different PVC formulations.
They fit together with the use of a tongue and groove locking system and can be easily applied on drywall or even directly to the framing studs. These panels are also available in perforated steel.
The systems are attractive because they?re flexible. The flexibility of these systems is what makes them so attractive. The different parts can be added and shifted when desired. Systems also include long lasting work surfaces, lightning and flooring.
Despite of the fact that garage organization is functional in all it?s aspects, the homeowners also aspire for a high end look that complements the atmosphere of the rest of the house, like it?s products and all. The wall and floor cabinets are made up of steel and have ball bearings glides required for smooth operation of drawers.
After moving into new homes, most of the home owners spend money on their garage organization. Selling them a custom installed system during design and construction allows the builder to recover the dollars buyers would spend at the home improvement center, as well as to provide a valuable amenity. The range of the cost of garage organization starts from as low as a few hundred dollars to a whopping $10,000. The cost is a matter of least concern when the focus of the home owners is to get a ready to use and fully equipped integrated garage solution which is beyond any monetary value. The mortgage is inclusive of the cost of the system in most cases.

Way, way back, when your caveman grandpa or grandma had to lug something heavy back to the cave, what did they do? Maybe they carried it. Or dragged it. Or tumbled it down a hill. But what they didn't do is wheel it home. They couldn't. Because there no wheels to wheel with. Which is puzzling, really.
How could our great, great, great grandparents go for tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of generations not thinking, not making, not even imagining a wheel? Wheels appear extremely recently ? around 3500 BC ? when people were already counting, writing, farming. Why the long wait?
Once wheels came to be, it's hard to imagine not imagining them, says British writer Jonnie Hughes. Wheels, he thinks, are surprisingly unintuitive. No doubt great grandpa knew that circular things roll, but to get from rolling spheres to wheels, that's a tricky, subtle, business.
Here's one version of how it might have happened, illustrated by him, which makes me think, "yeah, I guess this wasn't so easy." We're going to make a cart, because carts are the first wheeled objects pictured on ancient vases.
Here's the story:
Inventing Wheels In 8 Short Turns
TURN ONE: Use tree trunks as "rollers." Stick 'em in the back, roll your load across, then repeat.
TURN TWO: Add a plank between the load and the rollers, reducing friction.
TURN THREE: Stick Blades ? like a sledge ? under the board to reduce friction further.
TURN FOUR: The blades create grooves in the tree trunks that stabilize the load.
TURN FIVE: The tree trunks are hollowed between the grooves so that different-sized sledges can fit on top (and an accidental axle and wheel pair is formed).
TURN SIX: Pegs are attached to the bottom of the blades, in front of and behind the position of the axle, so that the axle is contained underneath the load and there is no longer the need to repeatedly place rollers at the front (that must have been a great day!).
TURN SEVEN: To make the cart stronger, the axle is fed through holes fashioned in the blades of the sledge.
TURN EIGHT: Ta-dah!
All illustrations by Jonnie Hughes
Pop versions of How We Invented The Wheel imagine a single inventor poised over a roundish thing, eyes wide, suddenly seeing what no one else has seen; all around him, people are doubtful, suspicious, then, when the thing starts to actually roll, there's a shout of surprise, then joy, then envy. ("Why didn't I think of that?")
Maybe this happens sometimes, says Jonnie Hughes. But it doesn't happen often. The invention of the wheel, Hughes suggests, probably took:
... thousands of years and scores of human generations. There may well have been the odd genius involved along the way, conducting his or her own mind experiment ... but in the main, the invention of the wheel was a routinely get-rich-slow affair.
Living, as we do, in the Era of Steve Jobs, immersed in a tsunami of new, miniaturized, clever gadgets, we seem to be inventing technological leaps all the time, but of course, the phones, the iPods, the rockets, the medical devices, they're baby-steps too, incremental improvements on technology we know. Yes, the changes feel startling, but they still happen step by step. We don't invent our future in big leaps.
It's only later, when we turn around and see what we've done, only then do we appreciate that what we've collectively invented was unimaginable ... until it was there.
Jonnie Hughes' new book about the evolution of ideas is called On the Origin of Tepees: The Evolution of Ideas (and Ourselves), (Free Press, Simon & Schuster, 2011).

Pitt researcher's supercomputer simulation uncovers how a collision with a dwarf galaxy triggered the formation of the Milky Way's spiral arms
PITTSBURGHThe signature spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy were likely formed by an epic collision between the Milky Way and the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy, according to a University of Pittsburgh researcher and his collaborators, published today in the prestigious British journal Nature.
Supercomputer simulations by Christopher W. Purcell, postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in Pitt's School of Arts and Sciences, and colleagues report their findings in a paper titled "The Sagittarius Impact as an Architect of Spirality and Outer Rings in the Milky Way."
This paper is the first to identify Sagittarius as the architect of spiral structure in our Milky Way. "It presents a new and somewhat unexpected way of thinking about why the galaxy we live in looks the way it does," says Purcell.
"Cosmologically speaking, it demonstrates the idea that relatively small impacts like this can have a dramatic impact on the structure of galaxies throughout the universe," he adds. This idea had been assumed theoretically, but never demonstrated.
Purcell's collaborators include University of California High-Performance AstroComputing Center (UC-HIPACC)-affiliates James S. Bullock, Erik J. Tollerud, and Miguel Rocha, all at the University of California at Irvine. The fifth coauthor is Sukanya Chakrabarti at Florida Atlantic University.
In the field of cosmology, supercomputer simulations are the only laboratories for scientific experimentation. With supercomputers, astronomers can recreate a small-scale simulation or model of distant, violent events that occurred over billions of years, and observe that model in sped-up time, in order to make predictions that can be tested by actual observations of the universe.
Purcell's findings are based on supercomputer simulations he conducted for his PhD at the University of California, Irvine, and in the lab of Pitt professor of physics and astronomy Andrew Zentner.
Interestingly, Purcell's simulations revealed that even more important than the stars of the Sagittarius Dwarf was its halo of invisible "dark matter"equal in mass to all the stars in the Milky Way.
Visible matter makes up less than five percent of the universe, while nearly a quarter of the universe is made of transparent dark matter. Its existence is felt only through its gravitational influence. It is now known that every galaxy, including the Sagittarius Dwarf (precollision) and our own Milky Way, resides at the center of a giant halo of dark matter several times larger in radius and many times greater in mass.
"When all the dark matter smacked into the Milky Way, 80 to 90 percent of it was stripped off," Purcell says. That first impactmore than two billion years agoproduced instabilities that were quickly amplified, eventually forming the spiral arms and ring structures in the outskirts of our own galaxy.
In his dissertation, Purcell focused on the question: What effects have the repeated collisions with the Sagittarius Dwarf had on the Milky Way?
Throughout the past few decades, conventional wisdom has been that the Milky Way was relatively unperturbed for the past several million years. Whatever spiral structure exists, these arms, were just a result of the Milky Way disc evolving in isolation.
Since the Sagittarius Dwarf was discovered, astronomers have tried to match up debris from that galaxy to what they saw in the universe. In 2003, infrared telescopes and supercomputers that traced the orbital motions of its stars has revealed that the Sagittarius Dwarf had actually collided with the Milky Way twiceonce 1.9 billion years ago and again 0.9 billion years ago.
"But what those collisions did to the Milky Way hadn't been simulated at all," says Purcell. "Ours was the first ever to try to do that."
Researchers found that the collision set up instabilitiesfluctuations in density of starsin the flat disk of the rotating Milky Way. Our galaxy rotates faster toward its center than toward its edges, so those instabilities were stretched and sheared, leading to the formation of spiral arms.
The simulations also revealed that the impact gave rise to ring-like structures found at the edges of our galaxy.
The second impact affected the Milky Way less, giving rise to only milder, less dense spiral-creating waves, because the Sagittarius Dwarf had by then lost most of its dark matter mass.
Without the dark matter to hold the dwarf galaxy together, its visible stars began to be pulled apart by the Milky Way's huge gravitational field and tidal forces.
"The dominant cosmology in astrophysics is one that's very violent on small scales. Galaxies like the Milky Way are constantly being bombarded by these small dwarf galaxies. It had not been appreciated prior to our work just how dramatic those impacts could be on the stellar disc itself," says Purcell. "We expected to find some more subtle signatures of an impact like thisa flare in the outer disc, like bell-bottom jeans. We expected to see some mild morphological changes to the Milky Way. But we did not expect to see a spiral structure begin to emerge as a result of these impacts. That was something we didn't foresee."
Indeed, Purcell and collaborators delayed publication for several months while they made sure they understood why they were seeing these results. "We had to convince ourselves that we weren't crazy," he jokes.
Today, long streamers of stars from the dismembered dwarf galaxy arch over and around the Milky Way, and "right now, billions and billions of dark matter particles from the Sagittarius Dwarf are raining down onto the Earth," said Purcell. "Meantime, the Sun itself is revolving around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, in a complex and still-evolving system of multiple spiral arms."
We're just a few million years short of a third impact, Purcell says. But how can the researchers tell?
"We can tell when we look toward the center of the Milky Way," says Purcell. "Immediately on the opposite side of us, we can see this blob of stars crashing into the southern face of the disc from beneath. We can measure the velocities of these stars. We know that the dwarf galaxy is just about to smash the discin only another 10 million years."

STOCKHOLM (AP) ? A seemingly intoxicated moose has been discovered entangled in an apple tree by a stunned Swede.
Per Johansson, 45, says he heard a roar from his vacationing neighbor's garden in southwestern Sweden late Tuesday and went to have a look. There, he found a female moose kicking about in the tree. The animal was likely drunk from eating fermented apples.
With the help of police and rescue services, Johansson later managed to set the moose free in part by sawing off tree branches.
But the animal appeared confused and wandered into Johansson's garden, where she was still resting Thursday.
Other neighbors in the Goteborg suburb Saro had seen the animal sneaking around the area for days. Johansson said the moose appeared to be sick, drunk, or "half-stupid."
How i overcame my fear of public speaking and you too can
Article by Ajaero Tony Martins
Are you afraid to speak in the public? Do you want to overcome your fear of public speaking? If your answer to the two questions above is yes, then read on as I share with you my own personal experience on how I overcame my fear of public speaking.
If you think you are alone with this fear of public speaking; then think again. I also had the same fears and many people all over the world also share your fears to speak in public. I recall several incidents that occurred while I was growing up. As a child, I often got punished with the rest of my classmates for failing to answer the teacher?s question; even though I had the right answer within me.
I preferred to be punished with others than raise my hand to answer a question; my fear of public speaking was so strong that I would rather risked being punished in school than to see myself being exempted from punishment, simply because I answered a question.
ScienceDaily (Sep. 6, 2011) ? The days of waiting for smartphones to upload video may be numbered. Rice University engineering researchers have made a breakthrough that could allow wireless phone companies to double throughput on their networks without adding a single cell tower.
Rice's new "full-duplex" technology allows wireless devices like cell phones and electronic tablets to both "talk" and "listen" to wireless cell towers on the same frequency -- something that requires two frequencies today.
"Our solution requires minimal new hardware, both for mobile devices and for networks, which is why we've attracted the attention of just about every wireless company in the world," said Ashutosh Sabharwal, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Rice. "The bigger change will be developing new wireless standards for full-duplex. I expect people may start seeing this when carriers upgrade to 4.5G or 5G networks in just a few years."
In 2010, Sabharwal and Rice colleagues Melissa Duarte and Chris Dick published the first paper showing that full-duplex was possible. That set off a worldwide race to demonstrate that the technology could actually be used in a real network. This summer, Sabharwal and Rice's Achaleshwar Sahai and Gaurav Patel set new performance records with a real-time demo of the technology that produced signal quality at least 10 times better than any previously published result.
"We showed that our approach could support higher throughput and better link reliability than anything else that's been demonstrated, which is a plus for wireless carriers," Sabharwal said. "On the device side, we've shown that we can add full duplex as an additional mode on existing hardware. Device makers love this because real estate inside mobile devices is at a premium, and it means they don't have to add new hardware that only supports full duplex."
To explain why full-duplex wireless was long thought impossible for wireless networks, Sabharwal uses the analogy of two people standing far apart inside an otherwise empty arena. If each shouts to the other at the same time, neither can hear what the other is saying. The easy solution is to have only one person speak at a time, and that's what happens on two-way radios where only one person may speak at a given time. Cell phones achieve two-way communications by using two different frequencies to send and listen.
Rice's team overcame the full-duplex hurdle by employing an extra antenna and some computing tricks. In the shouting analogy, the result is that the shouter cannot hear himself, and therefore hears the only other sound in the arena -- the person shouting from far away.
"We send two signals such that they cancel each other at the receiving antenna -- the device ears," Sabharwal said. "The canceling effect is purely local, so the other node can still hear what we're sending."
He said the cancellation idea is relatively simple in theory and had been proposed some time ago. But no one had figured a way to implement the idea at low cost and without requiring complex new radio hardware.
"We repurposed antenna technology called MIMO, which are common in today's devices," Sabharwal said. "MIMO stands for 'multiple-input multiple-output' and it uses several antennas to improve overall performance. We took advantage of the multiple antennas for our full-duplex scheme, which is the main reason why all wireless carriers are very comfortable with our technology."
Sabharwal said Rice is planning to roll its full-duplex innovations into its "wireless open-access research platform," or WARP. WARP is a collection of programmable processors, transmitters and other gadgets that make it possible for wireless researchers to test new ideas without building new hardware for each test. Sabharwal said adding full-duplex to WARP will allow other researchers to start innovating on top of Rice's breakthrough.
"There are groups that are already using WARP and our open-source software to compete with us," he said. "This is great because our vision for the WARP project is to enable never-before-possible research and to allow anyone to innovate freely with minimal startup effort."
Sabharwal's team has gone one step further and achieved asynchronous full-duplex too -- that is one wireless node can start receiving a signal while it's in the midst of transmitting. Asynchronous transmission is import for carriers wishing to maximize traffic on their networks, and Rice's team is the first to demonstrate the technology.
"We've also developed a preliminary theory <http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.1276> that explains why our system is working the way that it is," Sabharwal said. "That's also important for carriers and device makers, because engineers aren't likely to implement something like this without a clear understanding of fundamental tradeoffs."
Rice's research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Roberto Rocca Education Program and Xilinx Incorporated.

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - On September 11, 2001, when I was driving, I received a message from my friend, Heather Mac Rae: "Sorry to hear about Berry Berenson, but she was in one of the planes that crashed into the trade towers."
Stunned, I pulled the car off the road and thought about what a good person Berry was and what a good friend she had been to many.
She had suffered bravely through her husband, Tony Perkins, whom she had loved dearly, and had given birth to his two strapping sons, Osgood and Elvis.
After they had grown up, she had moved to Jamaica to begin a new life. She had met a new man who made her feel good about herself and for this I am grateful.
To me, Berry was pure sunshine. Her smile lit up a room. She could comfort like no other. She loved many even those who to me seemed unlovable. She was my friend. And I miss her. Despite her lineage, she was down to Earth.
To the world, Berry Berenson was the daughter of Countess Maria Luisa Yvonne Radha de Wendt de Kerlor, or better known as Gogo Schiaparielli, the granddaughter of Elsa Schiarparelli and the great grand-niece of the famed art historian Bernard Berenson.
In the late '60s, Berry and I were introduced in Wyn Handman's acting class.
He was the director of the American Place Theater. Wyn assigned me to do Blanche in "Streetcar" and Berry was to play Stella.
Berry was pregnant, and when we changed into our costumes in the prop room, I asked if I could touch her belly.
"Of course," she said smiling, then she laughed, and I knew I had not offended her.
Offending Berry Berenson was close to impossible. I had never touched a pregnant woman's tummy before, and she afforded me this opportunity. I had never had the good fortune to be pregnant and did not believe in doing this to force a man to marry me.
Berry and I rehearsed our roles in Tony and Berry's townhouse in Chelsea where Tony, who was always kind, offered us his directorial guidance.
Heather Mac Rae, who was starring in "Hair" on Broadway, was in our class as were: Richard Gere, Brad Davis (who triumphed in "Midnight Express"), Phillip Anglim (who played the "Elephant Man" on Broadway,) Penny Milford (who later was nominated for an Oscar for "Coming Home"), Marisa Berenson (who was Berry's sister and who later starred in "Barry Lyndon") and the list goes on.
In 1975, when I was jilted by Claude Picasso and flew back to our apartment in New York with our tiny poodle, Tutu, it was Berry who was one of my friends who comforted me.
She invited me to dinner at their townhouse where we used to play card and board games. Tony liked to play games and we all laughed, which was what I (and we all) needed.
When I wanted acting photos, Berry, who was a talented photographer who shot for Vogue, took beautiful photos of me on the roof on top of their townhouse. During the shoot Tuesday Weld, with whom Tony filmed "Pretty Poison," stopped by with her baby. Tony and Berry were generous with introductions to their friends and one night invited me to dinner along with Woody Allen.
When I moved to L.A. after testing for a movie, I saw a great deal of Berry as we exercised in the same gym. When "Flash," my novel about Hollywood and the sexual exploitation of actresses was published, Berry took me to lunch. "I love your writing about sex. It makes me laugh. You are so accepting. Can you recommend any books for my sons to read about sex and open-mindedness."
She knew I was now in love with Norman Mailer and then asked, "What book of his would you recommend by him that celebrate sex?"
"Ancient Evenings," I replied. I was flattered when she asked my opinion about good literature and equally flattered when Berry and Tony gave me a dinner party when "Flash" was published. He even invited his celebrated agent, Sue Mengers, who was a fun and charming to meet in an intimate setting.
When Berry accepted Tony had AIDS, she threw a party in Manhattan for his closest friends. We all signed a book for Tony and photos en masse were taken. Smiles were on everyone's faces. Berry and Tony did not invite frowns. My photo from this party proves this.
One day Berry confided, "With all the friends we have, it makes Tony sad that few will help him get work. "Psycho" has been a blessing and a stigma at the same time."
It was then that I realized superstars can't audition and are trapped in trying to secure film parts by working the social scene. Hollywood parties become auditions.
When Tony died, I was living in Manhattan, caring for my mother who had had two strokes, and I was unable to attend his funeral.
When Berry died, I was living in Jeffersonville, Pa., and chose not to go to Berry's funeral. Fears of the dangers of being in Manhattan after 9/11 haunted me, but also I was never fond of some of her friends. I did not have the love inside me that Berry did to accept the pretense of many of them.
Pretense that can come from a European background. Pretense that reminded me of the Picasso family from whom I had fled filled with shame for having felt that I was not good enough.
Well, it was Berry Berenson who made me feel good enough. Good enough to be her friend. Good enough to touch her pregnant belly. Good enough to accompany her to gym classes. Good enough to be a guest at her home for dinner and good enough to be invited to her beloved husband's funeral.
Let this remembrance be my tribute to the, caring loving soul of Berry Berenson Perkins.
One of the most important decision of your life-time is the last year of high school until the beginning of your career, impact on the choices you make during this time, your life's journey, and often the result of a lifetime. A decision is very influential in recent years, a good choice. Now, before you start the process, I must admit that I have a fondness for the philosophy major, but I think that hurt probably the reason why I show it to you.Initially, the time in which we live and how the majors are prepared for life, and then explain why the basic philosophy is often the best choice.
Today we are living in a rapidly changing global society, where we have to adapt is very necessary. The Information Age research, reasoning and effective communication is started, the industrial age of machinery rose repetitive. As such, the liberal arts and sciences that mostUniversities are not training for specific jobs, contrary to popular opinion. Instead, it will give you the versatile skills that are valuable in many professions, with a focus on simple mix of these skills with technical skills. Philosophy majors, as opposed to other majors, no skills to connect in the same way. They specialize in flexible learning these skills in depth, making them in many career paths.
Now it would be better, the skills required in today's Versatile been merged with the practical, technical skills? Only if you do not plan your career or the fastest progress. Since over time the combination of skills, not to spend so much time on the versatile ability, if necessary. The only way to effectively combine the capabilities would have included a double major with philosophy. However, many students do not have the time or the opportunity to have a double major. So that leaves us with the key philosophy.
What proof do I have that> The main philosophy is better? Well, let's look at how to do philosophy majors on the bench after the college experience to search. First we look at the LAST look (Law School Admission Test); After the University of Virginia Office of Career Planning and Placement Report, a comparative study of high school achievement test for approval of the law, the LAST is average score for a philosophy major 15 points above the average for all other sectors. Then the American MedicalAssociation has reported that in a study they conducted, they found that the philosophy majors, the third highest rate of decline was in American medical schools. York University has found that the Graduate Record Examination, the test for admission to a Master's program needs, philosophy majors on average 5% more than made ??on average in the verbal area, scored higher than all other majors, including English, on the quantitative part, whereUsually deficient humanities, philosophy majors performed other than humanity, with the exception of economics.
Next, we examine the life after school. According to the National Research Council for 1995 (the date of the last year available), unemployment for the majors in philosophy was only 2.3%, less than half the national unemployment rate for that time. Finally, the philosophy majors earn? On average, the majors began with the philosophySalaries of $ 27,000, has an average of $ 40,000 after 5 years, and after 10 to 15 years, reaching $ 60,000. It's won everything over 50 hours per week.
As you can from these statistics do say, philosophy majors outperformed the other is probably practical in many measurable scales. But what does the boss do for you? It leads to skills and persuasive writing will, together with the ability to have sound arguments. Philosophy, the love of wisdom,stimulates the intellectual and reasoning skills and creativity. Tend to see things in new perspectives and, ultimately, can lead a fulfilling life.
