In a savvy move, Goldie Blox recently released a video that went viral with their take on the Beastie Boys song “Girls.” Though the video was ultimately taken down, Goldie Blox did an excellent job raising awareness of the need to get more women and girls interested in STEM … and of the Goldie Blox toys.

Birth Name: Mohammed Aamir Hussain Khan
Nickname/Stage Name: Aamir Khan
Birth Date: March 14, 1965
Genres: Action, Comedy, Drama, Musical
Occupation(s): Actor, Director, TV Show Host
Years Active: 1973 till Present
Net Worth: $180 million
Aamir Khan was born in Bombay to Tahir Hussain, a film producer, and Zeenat Hussain. He is the second cousin of six-time MLA, former BJP vice president and current Governor of Manipur Najma Heptulla, who is the grand-niece of Abul Kalam Azad.
He married Reena Dutta after a fascinating love story, but their marriage only lasted fifteen years (1986-2002). He then married Kiran Rao in December 2005, after his divorce.
Khan has two children with Dutta; a son named Junaid, and a daughter, Ira. With present wife Rao, he has a son, Azad Rao Khan (born in December 2011).
Khan attended J.B. Petit School for his pre-primary education, later switching to St. Anne's High School, Bandra, until the eighth grade, and completed his ninth and tenth grades at Bombay Scottish School, Mahim.
The movie star completed his twelfth grade at Mumbai's Narsee Monjee College. After he finished high school, Khan decided to discontinue studying and work instead as an assistant director to Hussain on the Hindi films Manzil Manzil and Zabardast.
Khan made appearances in documentaries directed by Film and Television Institute of India students. After seeing Khan in those films, director Ketan Mehta offered him a role in the low-budget experimental film Holi.
In the early 1990s, he featured in several other films, including Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992), Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993) (for which he also wrote the screenplay), and Rangeela (1995).
The actor continued to appear in only one or two films per year (unusual for a mainstream Hindi film actor). His only film in 1996 was the commercial blockbuster Raja Hindustani, directed by Dharmesh Darshan and starring Karisma Kapoor.
After seven previous nominations, he won his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor for the film, which went on to become the year's biggest hit and the third-highest-grossing Indian film of the 1990s.
In 2001, Khan produced and starred in Lagaan and took a four-year break from Bollywood after his split from Reena Dutta. He made his movie comeback in 2005 as the lead star in Mangal Pandey: The Rising which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival.
He made his directorial debut in 2007 with the movie Taare Zameen Par and it opened to positive responses from critics and audiences.
Khan appeared as Ranchodas Chanchad in 3 Idiots in 2009. It became the highest-grossing Bollywood film at the time, breaking several records.
In 2014, he played the titular alien in the comedy-drama PK. It received critical acclaim and became the most successful Bollywood movie of all time.
The actor starred opposite veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan in the action-adventure film Thugs of Hindostan in November 2018.
On his 54th birthday (March 14, 2019), Khan revealed that he would be next seen in an adaptation of Forrest Gump titled Laal Singh Chaddha. It will be released on December 25, 2021.

He would love to work with Adele, Jennifer Lopez and... Britney Spears?
Hello... it's Ne-Yo.
It's been a minute since we've heard new music from Ne-Yo, but fans won't have to wait much longer. The Grammy Award winning singer says he's in the initial stages of producing his seventh studio album following 2015's Non-Fiction, which produced the Billboard Top 20-charting hit "She Knows" featuring Juicy J.
"I'm in the process of getting back in the studio now," Ne-Yo told BreatheHeavy.com at the Intrigue nightclub grand opening in Las Vegas on Friday. "I got one or two things that I'm proud of. Be looking for some new music relatively soon," he added. "I'm getting in that place where I want to put something out and get back out there."
Ne-Yo adds he has a couple collaborations he'd like to set up for the forthcoming record, including one from Jennifer Lopez ("definitely"). Ne-Yo appeared on stage at JLo's All I Have kickoff show earlier this year to sing a duet of "All I Have."
I mention Britney Spears, who's readying to release a new album of her own in the coming months.
"It wasn't at the front of my brain," he laughs, "but if she was willing to do something, sure! Why not?"
But his dream feature? Adele.
"I love that Adele is doing music again," he said. "I so desperately want to get in with her and see what that would be. I don't even know what that would wind up being. It might suck, but I just want to get in and see what we could possibly do."
Expect the new album this year!

CANBERRA, May 13 (Xinhua) -- The Australian government has struck a deal with Moderna for 25 million doses of its mRNA coronavirus vaccine.
Greg Hunt, the Minister for Health, announced the deal on Thursday, saying Australia will receive 10 million doses in 2021 and 15 million doses of Moderna's "updated variant booster vaccine" in 2022.
He said that a complete course of Moderna's vaccination is likely to be two doses given 28 days apart.
"They serve two purposes, firstly, as a reserve supply for this year if other elements of the supply chain were to run into any challenges," Hunt told reporters in Canberra.
"Secondly, they are our foundation of a booster and variant strategy."
The Australian Government has previously entered into the vaccine supply agreements with the Pfizer/BioNTech, Oxford/AstraZeneca and Novavax.
The Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines have been approved for use in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
Hunt also on Thursday confirmed that the government has begun discussions with the private sector to produce mRNA vaccines domestically.
As of Wednesday there had been more than 2.8 million COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in Australia.
"At our current pace of roughly 351,000 doses a week, we can expect to reach the 40 million doses needed to fully vaccinate Australia's adult population in late May 2023," said the report from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on Thursday.

Warren Roberts, GIS Specialist, Honnold Library, Claremont University Consortium
"Mapping the Socio-Politico-Cultural History of Los Angeles"
On October 5, the ISS sponsored a multimedia presentation that illustrated the potential of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software to inform scriptural studies research. Almost everyone has been exposed to some form of this mapping software, which can generate visual representations of geographically-coded data: weather reports, public policy analyses, real estate agencies, and conservation efforts all rely upon GIS technology. Warren Roberts, GIS specialist at the Libraries of the Claremont Colleges, introduced the ISS community to the basics of GIS and its possible applications for the study of scriptures and culture.
GIS software, now available at the ISS, essentially abstracts layers of data and anchors that data to spatial imagery, or maps. It allows researchers to ask meaningful questions and make correlations between available sets of information. One could engineer a map of Los Angeles County that overlays resident income levels with their religious affiliations, for instance. GIS maps can operate on any scale, from global to the very local, and the types of data that can be mapped are virtually limitless. Roberts mentioned the following, which represent only a small slice of the demographic statistics available online: education levels, ethnicity, race, class, political party affiliations, the spread of diseases, home ownership, citizenship, and age. Crime rates, places of worship, topographical details, landmarks, and voting statistics can also be plotted graphically. All data, however, is not maintained at one central location or by any one organization; researchers use their networks of personal contacts and search the World Wide Web to locate pertinent information sources.
Perhaps one of the most promising capabilities of the software for ISS purposes is its ability to track changes over time. If designed effectively, GIS digital cartography can demonstrate stages of social formation, which can then be incorporated into historical sketches of scripturalizing practices based on ethnographic research. For example, a scholar could use GIS to chart research on the changing numbers of traditional African healers in Los Angeles over the last 30 years. Even ancient-world cartography can be integrated into GIS programs; archaeological data can thus be overlaid with contemporary research to support transhistorical projects.
Roberts reminded Brown Bag attendees that maps, because they can be tailored so well to particular projects, have the power to both clarify and deceive. The software is powerful insofar as it allows users to present layers of data visually, which facilitates meaningful analysis. But maps also project an aura of objectivity that makes responsible handling essential. When used conscientiously, GIS-generated maps support the establishment of relationships between data layers, laying the groundwork for thick description of socio-cultural phenomena such as “scriptures.”
Instead of offering discussion questions based on the content presented by Warren Roberts, we will register several possibilities for interfacing GIS with the work of the ISS and ask list-serv participants to share with one another their experiences, ideas, and data sources.
1. Possibilities for GIS-based research on “scriptures” and culture:
· Constructing backgrounds for particular communities of study.
Example: Plotting the locations of places of worship upon a map showing the average incomes of residents in East Los Angeles neighborhoods.
· Testing hypotheses.
Example: “Crime rates are highest in neighborhoods with churches.” Color-coding locations of crimes and the locations of churches to see if clustering occurs.
· Showing change over time:
Example: Comparing the 1980 racial demographics of Central Los Angeles with statistics from 2000 census.
· Creating striking appendices and supporting materials for major research projects.
Example: Visually correlating race or ethnicity with religious affiliation in Detroit for use in the ISS project Scriptural Fundamentalisms Among Peoples of Color in the United States.
2. What kinds of Humanities and Social Sciences projects are best supported by GIS mapping technologies?
3. What data sources have been most useful, or show most promise, for socio-cultural scriptural studies?
4. What institutional services and support (i.e., library references, workshops, web destinations) are useful for the student of “scriptures?”
Key Online Resources:
- The official guide to Geographic Information Systems.
- The Association of Religion Data Archives.
- North American Religion Atlas. Includes maps and data on religion at national, state, and county levels.
- Humanities and GIS. Tutorials, data archives, and projects hosted by Stanford University.
- “Mapping the Mainline” abstract of a project illustrating spatial changes in adherence to Protestant denominations between 1970 and 1990, and a website with an essay that uses data from the North American Religion Atlas (NARA) to inform a preliminary geographical analysis of American mainline Protestantism from 1970 to 1990.

Stylish action at its best
Five months after its release on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, Devil May Cry 4's release on the PC seemed to be of little consequence. After all, the last DMC game released on the PC, Devil May Cry 3 SE was hardly a huge success. And while Devil May Cry 4 for the PC is arguably the best version of the game on any platform, it still seems to lack any significant PC-only exclusives that you would expect, and hence there would be little incentive for players who have already played the game on a console to buy it again for the PC. In other words, it feels more like a well-done port rather than it's own game. However, as stylish action games on the PC go, this is top notch stuff and while it may not attract those who have already played this game on a console, for first-time players, it's a worthy addition to your game collection.
Now then, what are the differences between the PC version and the console versions? Well, the biggest and most noticeable difference, especially to those who have high-end systems, is the visual presentation. On a capable system, DMC4 looks aboslutely gorgeous with highly-detailed textures, superb lighting and smooth-as-butter frame rate. In fact, this is probably one of the best optimized and yet best looking console-to-PC ports in recently memory. While both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions looked great and had smooth framerates, when comparing playing the game at 1280x720 (whether it was upscaled to 1080p or not) versus playing at 1920x1080 or above with a higher level of detail and yet still having consistently higher framerates, there really is no contest. Moreover, in a game like DMC4, performance is actually pretty important as any sort of lag can have seriously implications on playability (as some situations can be very frame-specific like a fighting game). After playing the game for over twenty hours, I had yet to encounter any serious lag (and barely any lag at all) nor any game crashes. And aside from a few graphical glitches (which may or may not be video driver related) there weren't any major bugs either. CAPCOM, at least, was smart enough to polish the game to the point where a patch doesn't even seem necessary. In an age of same-day patches and glitch-filled PC ports, this is a refreshing sight indeed. (Note also that I was playing this game at 1920x1080 with max settings on a Core 2 Quad 3.2 GHz / 512MB 9800GTX machine with 8 GB of RAM, which is considered a mid-range system) Unfortunately, the DirectX10 version, while looking slightly better than the DirectX9 version offered very little benefits while at the same time ran just a little slower, meaning that there are no real tangible benefits in running this game in DirectX10. Again whether this is an issue with the game engine or with the video drivers has yet to be seen.
Yet aside from the significant visual improvements, there isn't really much that sets the PC version apart from console variants. You still get the same 20 missions, the same ranking system, the same number of abilities, etc. The only difference is the additional difficulty mode entitled "Legendary Dark Knight." (As some players will remember, this was the name of a costume that could be unlocked for Dante in the original DMC and DMC3) In this mode, the number of enemies onscreen is greatly increased, which incidently can greatly increase the difficulty of the game. While this mode is certainly fun and clearly PC-exclusive (such a mode most likely cannot even be implemented on consoles due to technical limitations), it doesn't offer any new content as you're basically just playing through the original 20 missions, only with more enemies. Moreover, this mode really only appeals to hardcore or highly dedicated fans of the game, which, as common sense would probably tell you, are most likely console game players, not necessarily PC game players. In addition, the various Xbox 360 achievements are carried over into the PC version along with one extra achievement (for completing the new difficulty mode) though no points or Games for Windows Live! features are implemented. Not surprisingly the online ranking feature is missing from the PC version most likely due to technical reasons (i.e. the existence of mods or trainers)
In fact, the game still feels very much like a console game. Despite the keyboard support and mouse support for menu navigation, no part of the gameplay feels right when playing with a keyboard. Now it's understandable why it would be difficult to implement mouse controls into a game like Devil May Cry 4 but yet it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect SOME integration of mouse controls into the actual gameplay. Not that I minded playing the game with a gamepad, but it would have been nice to be able to play this game with a mouse and keyboard instead of having to choose between keyboard only or a gamepad (as the gamepad is the clear choice). Speaking of gamepads, controller support in Devil May Cry 4 is pretty excellent. Both my wireless and wired Xbox 360 controllers worked perfectly exactly as they functioned whe playing the Xbox 360 version. In fact, the button cutomization is actually superior to the Xbox 360 verion. And if you plan on playing this game only higher difficulty settings, using a gamepad is definitely recommended.
Gameplay wise, this is still the same fast-paced, stylish, and slightly repetitive action game. Success still depends on fast execution of various combos as well as the accumulation of style points/style rankings which increases as you kill more enemies in increasing stylish ways. The way the game measures your style ranking is based upon a number of factors including the power of your attacks, the variation of your attacks, the speed at which you can change your combos, how much you taunt the enemy, etc. This style ranking ranges from "D" rank, the lowest, to SSS rank which is the highest. This style rank only displays when you engage in battle with any nearby enemies and will disappear whenever you leave a fight and decrease rapidly when you are hit by an enemy. Now what's the purpose of the style ranking? Well, the style ranking effects several things. First, it effects how many red orbs are dropped when an enemy is killed (red orbs are used as a sort of currency which is needed to purchase items). Second, it effects how many style points you receive for each attack which is eventually tallied at the end of each mission. The total number of style points are then used to help determine your final mission ranking. As you have no doubt gathered by now the style ranking doesn't impact whether or not you complete a mission but rather is a general measure of how well you are doing in any particular fight and eventually how well you have completed each missions. Speaking of mission rankings, after each mission is completed you are given a ranking on on well you've done. This rank ranges from "D" rank, which means you did pretty terrible, to "S" rank which means you did very well. This is also based on several factors including the time it took for you to finish the mission, the number of style points accumulated, the number of free-floating red orbs you found (many of which are hidden), and other factors such as whether or not you used items, whether or not you had to continue from a checkpoint, etc. Your final mission ranking will also determine how many "proud souls" you get, which can be used to purchase skills such as weapon combos and special abilities. The gameplay, for the most part, is faced paced, incredibly fun, and can be very addictive mainly due to the fact that you are being graded for every attack that you throw at an enemy. Aside from the actual combat itself there are also various 12 secret missions in the game, as well as hidden orbs and items scattered throughout the game world for you to find. All in all the overal gameplay is very satisfying.
The difficulty level is also pretty well implemented as the game missions will gradually increase in difficulty from beginning to end as more enemies are introduced. The learning curve isn't incredibly high either, as after just one play through I was good enough at the game that I could breeze through the earlier levels without a sweat. Though admittedly, the first three difficulty settings do seem a little too easy, especially compared to some of the other difficult settings. For instance "Son of Sparda" (the third difficulty setting) is a far cry from "Dante Must Die" which itself is a far cry from the extremely difficult "Hell or Hell." The results of this is that may players who have managed to beat the game on the first three difficulty settings without much trouble may find themselves smacking straight into a wall when they get to the "Dante Must Die" setting.
The story unfortunately, isn't quite so well polished and well executed as the gameplay. While in-game cinematics are always entertaining to watch, the story itself just feels very cheesy and very melodramatic, which I suppose is what you would probably expect from a stylish action game. But it would still have been nice if the various plot threads were explained better or better connected so that the various plot twists wouldn't seem quite so ridiculous. But hey, nobody plays a Devil May Cry game for the story right?
Another gripe that can be levied at the game the inability to save the progress of a mission as it is still in progress. Now you can save your data any time you want (i.e. all the orbs, items, and skills you'ved garnered or any secret mission you've completed will be saved) but you still have to play each mission through its entirety every time you load a game. Obviously the reasoning behind this is due to the mission ranking system, and indeed the game does save checkpoints so that when you die you can continue not far from where your left off. However, for people who would like to save their progress on any paricular part of a mission are out of luck and must either complete the mission or play through the whole thing again when they load the game. While this wasn't a big deal for me (not being able to save in the middle of a mission is not uncommon amongst Japanese-developed titles) it can be frustrating if for some reason your game or PC crashes and you're forced to replay the entire mission.
Finally, the game reuses many of the same envrionments, often with very little alterations, especially when you switch characters from Nero to Dante. The boss battles, which were spectacular the first time around aren't quite as neat or as fun the second or third time around. It's understandable that there will be a certain amount of repetitiveness in any action game of this sort, but using the same environments and the same bosses so many times seems almost like laziness on the part of CAPCOM.
Still, despite it's shortcomings, Devil May Cry 4 for the PC is an excellent and stylish action game that has plenty of replay values whether it's for more casual game players or hardcore fans of the series. However, it's only recommended for those who have never played the game on other platforms.

A student of the Kaduna State College of Education, Gidan Waya, Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State, who had joined his colleague to protest over recent hike in their school fess, has been shot dead.
The deceased was shot dead by security operatives who had made attempts to disperse them forcefully.
Education Plus Jobs Blog further gathered that another student identified as Emmanuel Nata was also shot but he is currently receiving treatment.
The National President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Sunday Asefon, who confirmed the sad event said he gathered that two students were killed during the protest while another was shot.
He lamented that the state government did not take into consideration prevailing economic realities in the country before taking increasing tuition.
The student said they found it extremely hard to cope with the previous school fees that ranged between N25,000 to N33,000 and wonder what will happen with the present increment to N75,000.
Meanwhile, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has vowed to occupy Kaduna State on July 19 over tuition hike by the State Government.

Below attached is a crossover I obtained for $20.... It is/was advertised as a 4312A crossover, however the cap numbers do not match what I have for the A, and the L-pad controls appear to be for a L-100, etc. Can someone confirm what this is?
10-10-2010, 07:46 AM
Can someone confirm what this is?
:dont-know: It appears to be stamped "100" on the circuit board, FWIW.
What does the back of the input plate look like? Looks larger than the 4312A inputs I've seen. And the plastic L-pad mounting looks different than any L100 I've seen. Then I have neither in my inventory.

Day 14: Phortse Tenga - Dole
A short day of hiking, spending only 2 1/2 hours on the main trail before arriving at your destination, you can supplement your hike with side trips around Dole to uncover fantastic Himalayan wonders. Some of the most spectacular views on the trail were seen during one side trip this day. For tips on safe acclimatization above 3500 meters click on the link Life at High Altitude. We played it safe and averaged an ascent of around 400-600 meters per day in the higher elevations and, besides being short of breath above 5100 meters, did not get sick. I can't tell you how many people we talked to who took only one rest day in Namche Bazaar, ascended to Gokyo or Kalla Pattar way to fast, became sick, and had to cut their trip short. We also saw about 7-10 medical evacuations per day, about half of which were for altitude related illnesses.
Hiking out of Phortse Tenga (3580 meters), follow the upper trail which traverses a short but breathless incline through Birch & Rhododendron forest passing the now abandoned Dole National Park Headquarters. If you are lucky you may catch a glimpse of musk deer and you pass a large and a few smaller waterfalls before the terrain evens out and you walk the undulating trail along the side of the mountain. About 2-3 hours out of Phortse Tenga turning a corner you arrive at Dole (4040 meters). We elected to stay at the newly built Riverside Lodge at the end of town (lodge with red roof in the slide show) which was clean and served delicious fried potatoes and noodles. Although you can push it to Lhafarma (fewer facilities) or Luza at 4350 meters, know your limits especially when it comes to high altitude. Ascending 800 meters without proper acclimatization above 3500 meters can be dangerous. Don't go to high to fast above this elevation or you may have to go descend before you want to.
Side trips from Dole: When entering Dole (from Phortse Tenga) take a left up the steep hill, and head towards several prayer flags tied to a series of rocks, about a 15-20 minute walk up from town. You are rewarded with a wall of Himalayan mountains including Kangtaiga & you may possibly see Cho Oyu to your left. The sunsets from this perch are breathtaking. You can also explore further down the river in Dole following a valley where yaks pasture in the summer leading to a large field about 45 minutes from Dole.

Indonesia is projected to become a net importer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by 2022 amid increasing domestic demand and declining output at mature gas fields, data from Fitch Group's BMI Research show.
BMI Research has estimated that Indonesia’s gas demand will grow at an average annual rate of 4 percent over the next decade, with the biggest demand coming from the power generation sector.
At the same time, gas supplies are set to fall due to natural declines at various mature gas fields and delays to several major projects.
For example, France's Total E&P Indonesie, the largest gas-producing operator in Indonesia, is projected to see its supply at the Bontang LNG plant in East Kalimantan fall by 10 percent in 2017 on account of spending cuts amid volatility in oil prices and lingering uncertainties over its ownership of the gas-rich Mahakam block.
“This will see Indonesia become a net LNG importer by 2022. [State-owned energy firm] Pertamina has a deal with the United States’ Corpus Christie project starting in 2018 and an agreement with the UAE's Emirates National Oil Company to directly purchase LNG from the latter based on need,” BMI Research stated in its report published on May 24.
“More term deals could be on the horizon as the country's need for gas imports deepens.”
Indonesia exported 3.9 million metric tons of LNG in the first quarter of 2017, falling 7.5 percent year-on-year and down 15 percent below the five-year average. (bbn)

A functional and kinetic comparison of antiviral effector and memory cytotoxic T lymphocyte populations in vivo and in vitro.
Ehl S., Klenerman P., Aichele P., Hengartner H., Zinkernagel RM.
To analyze the critical parameters for effective antiviral cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity in vivo, control of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection in the spleen was studied after adoptive transfer of different spleen cell populations into preinfected recipients. The quantitative, qualitative and kinetic requirements for virus control were defined and related to in vitro assays to compare the antiviral protective function of CTL from naive, acutely infected and memory mice. Treatment of mice with an established but limited LCMV infection by adoptive transfer of spleen cells from acutely LCMV-infected mice led to complete virus elimination mainly mediated by donor-derived CD8+ T cell-mediated, perforin-dependent cytotoxicity. Since virus is continuously spreading and the number of infected target cells rapidly increases, the time until target cell lysis is achieved was critical: if release of viral progeny was not prevented early, additional time to perform effector function did not improve overall virus control. When the function of various cell populations was compared in this model, we found that CTL from naive and memory mice perform considerably less well than CTL from acutely infected mice. In vitro studies indicated that this is probably due to the fact that they can not fulfill the limiting time requirements for immediate antiviral protection: while CTL from acutely infected mice can perform lytic effector function immediately, memory CTL require a considerable reactivation time before they can lyse infected target cells. This reactivation does not necessarily involve cell division. These findings illustrate how critical time limitations are for CTL to mediate early control of a dynamic virus infection in vivo.

Definition: A particle orbiting in a circular path with uniform speed always has an acceleration towards the center of the circle which is called radial acceleration or normal acceleration or centripetal acceleration.
If a particle has an angular velocity ω rotates in a circular path of radius r, then its centripetal acceleration is
ac = ω2r = v2/r
Note that the velocity of the particle is always along the tangent to the circle, but the centripetal acceleration is always towards the center of that circle. Thus, in a uniform circular motion, the velocity and centripetal acceleration are perpendicular to each other.
Derivation of Centripetal Acceleration
When an object moves around a circular path, its direction constantly changes, and thus its linear velocity does not remain the same. This changing velocity in a circular motion produces an acceleration that is always directed to the center of the circle. This is known as centripetal acceleration. Here, mathematically we will deduce the formula of centripetal acceleration in a simple way.
Let us consider a particle of mass m rotating around a circular path of radius r with uniform linear velocity v. For a very short time t (t → 0) the particle moves from point A to point B. As a result, it makes an angle θ (= ∠AOB) at the center of the circle. So, the angular velocity of the particle is ω = θ/t.
At point A, the linear velocity of the particle is v along the tangent AP. The component of this velocity along the radius AO is zero because AO and AP are mutually perpendicular.
At point B, the velocity of the particle is v along with BQ. At this point, v can be divided into two perpendicular components. One is v.cosθ parallel to Ap and along with BR, and the other is v.sinθ parallel to AO and along with the direction BS.
If θ is very small such that θ → 0, then we may consider sinθ = θ and cosθ = 1. Again if the angle ∠AOB is very small then BR and BS also can be considered to overlap on AP and AO respectively.
So along AB, the initial velocity of the particle is = v, and the final velocity is vcosθ = v. This means the change in velocity is (v − v) = 0
or, acceleration at = change in veolcity/time = 0/t = 0.
That is along the direction AP or along the tangent of the circle, the acceleration of the particle is zero.
Now, along the direction AO, the particle’s initial velocity is = 0, and the final velocity = vsinθ = vθ.
or, change in velocity = (vθ − 0) = vθ.
or, acceleration along AP is ac = vθ/t
or, ac = vω [as ω = θ/t]
or, ac = (ωr)r
or, ac = ω2r = (v/r)2r = v2/r.
Thus there exists an acceleration along the center of the circle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration.
Therefore the formula of centripetal acceleration is:
- Where ac = centripetal acceleration
- v = linear velocity
- r = radius of the circle
- ω = angular velocity.
Think About it: Can a particle have acceleration while moving with constant speed?
Centripetal Acceleration: Unit and Dimension
Unit of centripetal acceleration = (unit of velocity)2 / (unit of radius)
= (m/s)2 / m
Dimension of centripetal acceleration = [dimension of velocity]2 / [dimension of radius)]
= [LT−1]2 / [L]
|SI unit of centripetal acceleration||m/s2|
|CGS unit of centripetal acceleration||cm/s2|
|FPS unit of centripetal acceleration||ft/s2|
|Dimension of centripetal acceleration||[LT−2]|
Centripetal Acceleration: Vector Form:
Centripetal acceleration is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Its direction is always toward the center of the circle.
The relation between the linear and angular velocity in vector form is given by –
Differentiating with respect to time t we get-
Where α is the angular acceleration. Thus we can see that when an object rotates around a circular path consists of two kinds of accelerations, ac and at. ac is called the centripetal acceleration which is always directed toward the center of the circle and at is the tangential component. Both are perpendicular to each other. The net or resultant acceleration is-
– which is the vector form of centripetal acceleration.
Think About: Which physical quantity remains the same in a uniform circular motion?
Centripetal Acceleration: Problem Solutions
A person is rotating a rod of length 10m. Calculate the angular velocity needed to generate centripetal acceleration 5 times gravitational acceleration.
Here in this problem, the given data are – r = 10m,
centripetal acceleration ac = 5g, where g = 10 m/s2 = gravitational acceleration.
We know, ac = ω2r
or, ω2 = ac / r = 3g / r
or ω2 = (5 × 10) / 10
or, ω2 = 5
or, ω = √5
∴ ω = 2.236 rad/sec
Thus the required angular velocity is 2.236 rad/sec.
Find the radial acceleration of an hour hand of a wall clock having a length of 0.2 m.
For the hour hand, the time period T = 12 hours, and r = 0.2 m.
So its angular velocity ω = 2π / T = 2π/12 = 2π / (12×3600) = 1.454 × 10−4 rad/sec.
Its linear velocity v = ωr = 1.454 × 10−4 × 0.2 = 2.9 × 10−5 m/s
Its radial acceleration ac = v2/r = (2.9 × 10−5)2 / 0.2
∴ ac = 4.228 × 10−9 m/s2
Thus the radial acceleration of an hour hand of 0.2 m is 4.228 × 10−9 m/s2.
Few Questions Answers
Look Back at Your Knowledge

A long bar of length 2m is rotating around the center with an angular velocity of 2 rad/s. What would be the radial acceleration?

Ogden, Utah • The latest products to fly off the shelves because of the COVID-19 pandemic? Gardening supplies.
Unlike toilet paper and flour shortages, though, the demand for gardening supplies isn’t solely due to panic buying. Northern Utahns are taking up gardening for a variety of reasons, from filling the time and calming stress to growing their own food to supplement patchy produce sections at grocery stores.
Northern Utahns aren’t alone in their newfound urge to garden. People across the country are feeling the “need for seed,” overwhelming gardening stores and websites with demand for their products.
Jennifer Bodine, resident of Ogden and sustainability manager at Weber State, falls in the first category, the Standard-Examiner reported. She has started gardening with her children this spring.
“As a working mom of young kids, I’ve always intended to plant a garden, and sometimes I start, and I fail,” Bodine said. “I haven’t had the time; but now I’ve had the time, and it’s been ... the thing I’ve been doing with my girls to keep us all busy.”
Several weeks ago, Bodine was looking for supplies, and staff at local gardening stores told her that supplies were flying off the shelves, she said.
”‘Everyone and their dog is gardening right now,‘” Bodine recalled them saying to her.
“Yeah, of course we are, because what else can we all do?” she continued, laughing.
Bodine says her friends in the sustainability community are also picking up gardening, some with plans to donate the produce to those in need because of the pandemic’s economic impact.
As the advisor of Weber State’s community garden club, Bodine and students had to decide whether to keep the university’s community garden running after the campus shut down in mid-March. That garden helps stock the food pantry on campus, which is no longer functioning. A student has continued to tend to the campus garden, with plans to donate the produce elsewhere, Bodine said.
The demand for supplies that store staff told Bodine about several weeks ago has continued, or even increased.
“I have taught more people the ABCs of doing a first-time garden in the last three weeks than I have in the last two years combined,” said Jake Morley, operations manager for Valley Nursery in Uintah. “I think it’s a silver lining. I think it’s a good thing.”
Last Saturday, the nursery sold more on that day than any day in the past 10 years, Morley said — and it’s not even May, typically the nursery’s busiest time.
“About Mother’s Day is what we would consider our Super Bowl,” Morley said.
Right now, vegetables are particularly popular, he said.
There’s so much demand that the nursery discontinued pick-up services Tuesday morning, Morley said, though they continue to practice social distancing.
For those who are concerned about higher traffic, the morning hours from 8-9:30 a.m. during the week are the least busy times, he said.
Customers also don’t need to come inside the garden center, Morley said. There are register windows available that allow customers to stay outside.
Valley Nursery is not the only local nursery that’s experiencing high demand. A representative of Jerry’s Nursery and Garden Center in Farr West was willing to speak with the Standard-Examiner, but the store was “crazy busy,” she said, and she ultimately did not have time to talk.
Longtime gardener Karl Behling, a resident of Kaysville and a recently retired teacher, set up a neighborhood gardening group on Facebook at the end of March. Since then, 31 people in his neighborhood have joined it.
Some members of the group are experienced gardeners. They’re helping the new gardeners get their gardens going, advising them on timing, watering and preparing the soil, he said.
“There’s lots to learn,” Behling said. “I think it’s a great way to keep your mind calm. You can sit at home all day, and the panic overtakes you, and you start that cycle of worry. ... [Gardening] is a good, good way to calm yourself down and to look forward to a future of some good stuff, good vegetables, coming out of your garden.”
Behling said he set up the group in response to the pandemic.
“I did this specifically because of the pandemic,” Behling said. “People need something to do, and a garden is a great way to spend your time and get the kids out digging in the dirt.”
In addition to starting the group, he’s expanded his own garden in response to the pandemic. Growing your food is always a good idea, he said, but especially right now since certain produce is occasionally not available at the store.
For those who like freshly picked produce in particular, growing their own could be an alternative if farmers markets close this summer.
According to the Farmers Market Ogden website, the summer market is moving forward as planned, but vendors fees will be refunded if the market is canceled, it says.
“We are staying informed on the evolving situation surrounding coronavirus (COVID-19) and will continue to evaluate our community programming moving forward as suggested by the CDC,” the website says.
One resource for new gardeners is the Utah State University Extension’s website at https://extension.usu.edu/yardandgarden. Though the extension’s in-person gardening classes have been canceled, the courses have been moved online. The offerings include courses such as “Container Vegetable Gardening” and “Creating Perfect Soil,” and each online course is $25.

As I mentioned in the previous post, I would be putting up my review of the two books I finished while on vacation. The books are the first two in a series called The Godless World by Brian Ruckley.
The first book, called Winterbirth starts the series out with a little history of the people in the book. The story goes that after kingships began to fall, small Thanes rose up and formed an alliance. Over time a woman came about who believed in something called the Black Road, which is a path to getting the Gods to return to the world.
The book starts out extremely slow and at times becomes very confusing because it takes awhile to understand what is going on. As the story slowly gains momentum you begin to realize something quite brilliant: their are no real bad guys in the story. Ruckley will take a character from a previous chapter, who you absolutely hated, and tell the story from their point for a few chapters. It gives you insight into what they are thinking and how the world is not always black and white.
The battle scenes in the book are quite bloody and very action packed. Once the ball starts rolling, you can barely put the book down. It ends on a fantastic cliff hanger, with a huge, scary threat looming over everyone.
Ruckley also starts explaining more things that happened at the beginning of the first book, stuff that seemed out of place and kind of boring. Now those elements are fit in and we see why they were important.
There also begins an explanation of the era when the gods were present and the differences in the five races inhabiting the world. As always though, the action shadows everything. The battle scenes are great, putting you right there and never giving you the idea that everyone will be okay. Most books when telling a story from a characters POV, usually do not have that character die in the telling, but Ruckley does that quite well.
If you check out Amazon, they recommend this to fans of the Abercrombie books. I liked both books and eagerly await the third book.

A Corona roof-tile manufacturer's plan to mine clay from vacant land along Interstate 15 must go through the Lake Elsinore City Council for approval as a result of protests lodged at City Hall.
The decision was final unless a formal appeal was filed with the city. That's what happened when two protests were submitted.
The commissioner who cast the dissenting vote and a pair of residents who voiced opposition to the plan at the commission's hearings filed the appeals.
The appeals are scheduled to be heard by the council March 13, said Lake Elsinore Planning Manager Warren Morelion.
"We're still looking at the information and getting all the people together to talk through all the issues," he said.
MCA, which manufactures high-quality tile, needs City Hall's blessing because the city has been deemed the lead agency for regulating mining activity within its borders.
The city's planning staff had recommended approval of the MCA plan, based on its conclusion that the company has a historical right to mine the property and had presented an adequate proposal for restoring it to a natural state when mining concludes.
Although the commission in a previous hearing had sent MCA back to the drawing board to address some environmental questions, those concerns were allayed among all the commissioners except Michael O'Neal.
O'Neal said he believes the applicant should present a more thorough environmental analysis of the land to be mined.
The property consists of vacant, rugged terrain along a three-quarter-mile stretch of I-15 east of the freeway and about 1 1/4 miles north of Temescal Canyon High School.
Also, O'Neal contends that the plan to restore the land is inadequate.
In his appeal filed Jan. 30, O'Neal stated that "instead of doing the required study, the lead agency along with MCA presented a mining reclamation plan with a deferred mitigation plan ... with no updated biological study ... and pretended that this was good enough for the planning commission to make a final decision on the plan."
In an interview Thursday, O'Neal said he does not have a problem with mining going on there as long as it doesn't destroy rare and endangered species and if there are guarantees that the land will not be left annihilated.
"Lake Elsinore has a history of rolling hills and part of the sublime beauty of Lake Elsinore is its rolling hills, and what's happening here is it is being stripped away for shale and aggregate," O'Neal said. "I'm not saying they don't have the right to do it, but I am saying they have a responsibility that goes along with that right."
The appeal filed by mining opponents Sharon Gallina and Pauli Tehrani contends that MCA does not have a vested right to mine the property. They contend that the prior property owner gave up that right in 1995 in obtaining a permit to install a kiln on the property.
City Attorney Barbara Leibold and the applicant's attorney said at the Jan. 17 commission meeting that the MCA land is clearly within a mining reclamation plan dating to 1975 and that the right to mine a property without obtaining a mining permit sticks with the land, regardless of ownership changes.
They say the property that Gallina and Tehrani are referring to as permitted for a kiln is not the same as MCA's.
MCA attorney James Good declined Thursday to discuss his client's outlook on the appeals and their allegations. He said it was disappointing that the plan is still is hung up in the approval process.
"We thought it was done with the Planning Commission on a 4-to-1 vote, but that's the process," he said. "They are allowed to appeal, and they did so."

KANNUR: The ‘Prakshobha yatra’ (agitation march) led by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) State president K. Surendran, from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram, entered Kannur on Tuesday.
The vehicle campaign was flagged-off by the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, L.K. Advani, at Kasaragod on Monday.
The yatra is being taken out against the ‘anti-people policies of the Central and State governments.’
It would conclude on October 28.
The yatra was accorded reception at Taliparamba, Kannur and Iritty. BJYM leaders S. Suresh, P. Venugopal and M.G. Ramakrishnan addressed the gathering.

"Smitty" is the typical kind of movie that fits perfectly in the general formula of movies. It is a family movie that combines the elements of tales about animals and coming-of-age themes. It is a movie that plays it safe but still manages to provide viewers with a pleasant experience and a lesson to learn. Brandon Tyler Russell plays Ben, a 13-year-old teenager who under certain circumstances has to move in with his grandfather whom he has never met before in his life. In the countryside, amid a small town, farms and beautiful landscapes, among a number of interesting characters, Ben begins to learn about the past of the relationship between his grandfather and his mother, and comes to understand people and himself better. He later meets his dog, adopted from a lost or abandoned animal shelter, and also Smitty, a mid-aged store-owner who befriends him and whose guitar appeals to him. Relationships between characters are clearly shown, and storytelling techniques are simple but effective. Its simplicity along with the plot pull the audience into the feelings in the tale, which include family relationships, human-animal relationships, growing up and a taste of life in the farms. Overall, it is a great film for a whole family to sit down and watch on a weekend. The story is simple, moving and carries certain messages.

TRENTON – Senate President Richard J. Codey (D-Essex) today said that the plan being proposed as an alternative to raising tolls – a call for a combination of smaller toll increases along with a gas tax increase – is “unacceptable.”
“This proposal does not make very much sense. The gas tax tends to be regressive and it would be felt the most by the same people that use our roads the most. For these people, it would be a crippling double whammy. In my opinion, this proposal is unacceptable and only inflicts pain on a broader number of people.
“I know everyone is trying to quickly find more palatable alternatives to the Governor’s plan, but I don’t think this is the way to go right now. I think it’s important that we examine every nook and cranny of this plan, starting tomorrow with our first Senate Budget Committee hearing. Hopefully, with enough voices involved, asking the right questions will lead us to the right solutions,” said Sen. Codey.
Codey added that, “Before the Senate would consider both of these increases at the same time, it would have to be colder than it was in Green Bay on Sunday and the month would have to be July. Get the point?”

Criminal cases skyrocket in Oil Patch
The state court system’s annual report, released this week, shows criminal filings in the Northwest Judicial District jumped by nearly one-third, from 5,581 cases to 7,390 cases, from 2010 to 2011.
And it’s only gotten busier this year in the six-county district, which includes Minot and Williston.
First-quarter figures show criminal cases are up by nearly 48 percent compared with the first three months of 2010, while traffic cases are up by almost 75 percent, said Carolyn Probst, trial court administrator for the district.
“We’re behind in a lot of areas. It’s really bogged our clerks’ offices down. Our judges are just overwhelmed with cases trying to keep up,” Probst said.
Statewide, criminal filings climbed by 8.6 percent from 2010 to 2011. Among those cases, felony filings jumped by 14.7 percent and misdemeanors rose by 9.6 percent, while infractions fell by 20.1 percent, the report shows, suggesting authorities are dealing with more serious crimes.
The Northwest Judicial District, which covers Burke, Divide, McKenzie, Mountrail, Ward and Williams counties, was the only district to post a double-digit percentage increase in criminal filings last year.
The closest was the Northeast Central Judicial District covering Grand Forks and Nelson counties, which saw a 9.95 percent increase. The Southwest Judicial District saw a 7.8 percent increase, while the East Central District, which covers Cass, Steele and Traill counties, had about 1.2 percent growth.
At the Williams County Courthouse in Williston, the clerk’s office is backlogged with cases, despite adding a temporary position that Clerk of District Court Jody Fixen said has been hard to keep filled.
“Well, I hope she’ll still be coming,” Fixen said of the latest hire. “We’ve had that before, and then we hear, ‘Nope, they got a better
Fixen said the office has four full-time positions but is currently down to two clerks. One left for a job with a law firm, and another is on leave after her son died in a motorcycle crash.
The backlog has changed how the office handles case files. Instead of sorting them alphabetically, clerks now first separate the files by category. Priority goes to criminal cases, mental health matters and protection orders, while probate files and requests for certified copies – often of land records in the Oil Patch – must wait, Fixen said.
“Some of that gets put on the back burner,” she said.
In March, the office began closing to the public on Friday afternoons to give clerks time to catch up on paperwork, following the lead of county offices that started doing the same thing last year. Other counties have entertained the idea, Probst said.
Fixen said it has helped, but the cases continue to pile up when the office opens on Monday.
“Kind of a vicious circle, you know,” she said.
Finding space to process and hear the ballooning number of court cases also has become a more pressing issue, Probst said.
Williams County is remodeling the third floor of its courthouse. When finished, the project will provide two more courtrooms capable of holding trials, as well as chambers for another judge, which district officials hope the state will provide, Probst said.
“The judge’s caseload out there currently is double what any other judge’s caseload is throughout the state,” she said.
Court workers across the state took part in a workload study in March to determine appropriate staffing levels, and Fixen hopes the results will help convince state lawmakers to fund additional staff.
Officials are trying to spread the word about the need. On Tuesday, the first of four public meetings organized by Probst was held in Stanley. Legislative representatives and candidates were invited, along with county commissioners, sheriffs and state’s attorneys, she said.
A task force created by the State Bar Association has similar meetings planned in June in Bis-marck, Dickinson, Minot and Williston. Executive Director Bill Neumann said the task force wants to gather “useful, accurate information” on the impacts of energy development on all areas of the justice system – not just courts – to bring to the Legislature in 2013.
“We want to point out that infrastructure is not just roads,” he said.
Last year saw a record 2,273 law licenses issued and 186 attorneys admitted to the State Bar Association, according to the court system’s annual report. Neumann said the increase is “almost entirely” because of the energy boom in western North Dakota.
“A big chunk of it is oil and gas lawyers from places like Texas and Oklahoma and Colorado who are not going to move to North Dakota, but they want to do North Dakota work and so they want to be licensed here,” Neumann said.
Still others are lawyers from states such as Minnesota and Michigan who are having a hard time finding employment, he said.
There’s no shortage of legal work for attorneys in the Oil Patch, he said.
“They’re all so tied up with doing Oil Patch work that we have people in Williston contacting Bismarck lawyers if they’ve got family law problems,” he said.

Borys Kit from The Hollywood Reporter just broke that Rhys Thomas (Saturday Night Live) as well as directing duo Bert and Bertie (Troop Zero) will be directing multiple episodes of Hawkeye.
Thomas has worked on many comedy specials and series’ like Saturday Night Live, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Comedian John Mulaney’s specials and more. As for Bert and Bertie(Amber Finlayson (Bert) and Katie Ellwood (Bertie), they directed Amazon’s smash hit Troop Zero, which stars Jim Gaffigan, Viola Davis and Allison Janney. This leads us to believe there may be comedic aspects to the series as all the directors come from comedy.
No further information has been released but it’s excited to see more headway on Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye series for Disney+.
Jeremy Renner is set to return as Clint Barton as he trains a new bow wielder – Kate Bishop who ends up taking the Hawkeye mantle.
Mad Men scribe Jonathan Igla will be writing and executive producing the series.
Not much is known on the series at this time but reports earlier this year revealed that Clint’s brother Barney Barton aka Trickshot and the New York crime organization Tracksuit Mafia would make appearances. It is still unknown if any other Avengers or existing characters will make an appearance.
No word if the series will be starting production in September; however, it is highly unlikely.

“Wow,” Georgia murmured. “I thought I was going to have to get a fire extinguisher for you two.”
My cheeks burned as I turned and unlocked our door. Stepping inside I tossed my bag on my bed and fell down beside it.
“That’s Shaw? Forgot to mention just how beautiful he is.”
“Pepper and I said he was hot.”
“There’s hot and then there’s that.” She waved toward the door.
“Don’t you have a boyfriend?” I reminded her.
She shrugged. “That doesn’t mean I’m blind. But more important, you don’t have a boyfriend, so—”
“And I don’t want one.”
She sank down on her bed across from me. “So you and he are just—”
“Nothing,” I cut her off. “We’re nothing.” I rubbed the center of my forehead where a headache was forming.
“That looked like something to me. It looked kind of intense.”
I bit back the unkind reply that anything would look intense to her given that Harris was her barometer for passionate kisses. The guy seemed more inclined to kiss his image in the mirror than Georgia. I kept my opinion to myself. It wasn’t my place to judge. What did I know about relationships anyway?
Deciding to change the subject, I asked, “Are you heading to Harris’s tonight?”
“No. He’s studying.”
I frowned. “You said you just needed to get something from the room—”
“Well, yeah, I wanted to give you your space. I would have just grabbed some books and headed to the library or something. You were clearly in the middle of something, and I didn’t want to ruin it. Thought I’d give you two privacy.”
I smiled. “Thanks, but unnecessary. Remember? I don’t have guys stay over the night.”
“There’s always a first time, Em.”
I shook my head. “Nope.” Those were my rules, and I wouldn’t bend them.
Georgia rose and started to change. She kicked off her jeans and slipped a pair of comfy-looking pajama bottoms over her shapely runner’s legs. “So, you going to see Shaw again?” she asked as she slid a knit T-shirt over her head.
I shook my head. I didn’t plan on it, but then something told me I hadn’t seen the last of him. And that fired both excitement and panic through me. I really needed to get a grip.
Tugging off my boots, I rose and shrugged out of my jeans.
“You dropped some money.” Georgia pointed to the carpet.
Bending, I picked up a crumpled twenty, deducing that it had fallen from my pocket. Where I had not put it.
“Damn him,” I muttered.
Just then my phone buzzed. I dug through my bag and read the screen.
Shaw: It was a date
With a growl, I flung the phone on the bed. The guy didn’t play fair. I was always in control.
Except around him.
“What?” Georgia repeated.
My eyes snapped to her as determination rushed through me. “No. No, I’m not going to see him again.”
Whatever it took, I had to get him out of my life.
My phone buzzed again. I glanced down, fully expecting another message from Shaw, but no.
Annie: You’re in
I frowned, confused. I typed back three question marks and waited, watching as she typed.
Annie: The kink club. I’m a member now. After tonight, honey . . . of course, I am
Really. What else could I say?
Annie: You’re my first guest, girl. You better bring your game
My fingers hovered over the keys, unsure how to respond. I didn’t especially want to hang out with Annie anymore. And the idea of the kink club might have sounded fun at first. But now . . . I wasn’t that intrigued.
“Who is it?” Georgia asked.
“Ugh. Her.” Georgia whipped her long golden hair into a messy knot on her head. “Let me guess. She trying to get you to go out?”
I nodded. “Something like that. She got into that kink club.”
Georgia’s eyes widened. “Really?” Her lips quirked. “Not surprising, I guess.”
I nodded slowly, thinking. “She invited me to go with her next time.” I lifted one shoulder in a half shrug. “Whenever she goes again. She’ll get back to me with all the details.”
Georgia’s amused smile slipped. “You can’t.”
I sat up straighter on the bed. “Why not?”
“Well . . . Shaw . . .”
I bristled. Clearly I was doing something wrong if my own friend thought I was so involved with a guy that I couldn’t carry on as normal and go to a kink club. She wasn’t hearing me when I said there was nothing between us. Okay, and maybe going to a kink club wouldn’t exactly be my normal. It would be a first for me, but I had always been the kind of girl who would have embraced an opportunity like that. At least before.
“I’m going,” I declared with a shrug. “Why not?”
Georgia looked at me warily, disapproval lurking in her eyes. “I hope you know what you’re doing, Em.”
Of course I did. I was taking control of my life again.
WHEN THE UNKNOWN NUMBER popped up, I was in the process of stuffing my laptop into my bag. Sometimes my hair salon called to confirm appointments and they didn’t always use the main line I had plugged into my phone. Zipping up my bag, I answered. “Hello?”
My art history professor, a Frenchman about my height, glared at me as I was squeezing out between desks. I sent him a small, apologetic smile. Class was over, but he didn’t seem to care.
“Emerson? It’s me. Justin.”
I stopped, my fingers clenching around my phone until my joints ached.
A girl bumped into me from behind at my sudden stop.
“Excuse me,” she said sharply.
I looked dumbly over my shoulder and stepped aside so she could pass, too shocked to even muster up an apology.
“How did you get this number?” My lips felt numb as the words passed out of my mouth. I stepped out of the classroom and walked slowly down the hall. It was crowded, lots of students buried in their phones or talking to the person next to them. Except for my snail-crawling pace, I didn’t look out of the ordinary. Even if I felt it. Even if I felt like I’d just gotten hit by a semi.

Forget cage-free and free range eggs — these eggs are hen-free.
Hampton Creek Foods, a San Francisco-based food lab, has invented what is being called the world's first plant-based egg substitute.
Beyond Eggs, which is made with 11 plants including sorghum, peas and beans, has been successfully used in baked goods and mayo. CEO Josh Tetrick told FoxNews.com that Tony Blair and Bill Gates "couldn't tell the difference."
Tetrick said some 1.8 trillion eggs are laid each year, but the majority come from less-than-savory places.
"You have chickens packed body to body in cages, which is a hotbed for avian flus," he told ABCNews.com. "They're gorging on soy and corn, both of which require a lot of land and fertilizer. From an animal welfare, human health and greenhouse gas perspective, the system is incredibly broken."
In addition to being humanely produced, Beyond Eggs are cheaper than the standard dozen, have a longer shelf life, and have additional health benefits, Tetrick said.
While vegan and vegetarian-friendly egg substitutes like chia seeds and chickpea flour have been around for years, they don't recreate the binding quality that real eggs provide, Allyson Kramer, a vegan and gluten-free cookbook author, told Fox News.
"There is this product out there that's used in molecular gastronomy, but it's very expensive," she said. "But there are so many things you can make just using plants."
Hampton Creek's first product, Just Mayo, uses a certain kind of pea instead of eggs. It is sold at some Whole Foods stores in Southern California, and Tetrick told ABCNews.com it would be available online in the next few weeks.

What is a testicle? Testicles (also called testes or gonads) are male sex glands found behind the penis in a sac of skin called the scrotum. These glands are responsible for producing and storing sperm, as well as producing male hormones. What is testicular cancer? Testicular cancer begins when cells within the testicle become cancerous and begin to grow out of control. Ninety-five percent of testicular tumors are a type called germ cell tumors.The term "germ cell" refers to cells that make sperm, and is not related to the more common definition of the word "germ," an organism that can cause infections . Other types of tumors found in the testicle are uncommon, and so this article will only address germ cell tumors. Testicular cancer is classified as one of two types: seminoma, which accounts for 40% of all testicular cancers, and nonseminoma, which includes four ... read more on Testicular Cancer: The Basics

In a statement, the Syrian National Council welcomed the EU’s decision this week not to renew its arms embargo on the Syrian rebels, paving the way for individual EU member states to send weapons to Assad’s opponents.
The council, however, urged the EU to "solidify" its words by action.
It called on the EU to supply the Free Syrian Army with “specialized weaponry to repel fierce attacks waged against unarmed civilians” by the regime forces.
The United States has welcomed the EU move but indicated the U.S. has no plans of its own to arm the opposition.
White House spokesman Jay Carney also condemned Russian arms transfers to the Syrian government, saying such sales don’t move the warring parties closer to a political solution.
Russia earlier denounced the EU move as illegitimate, saying it undermines efforts to convene an international peace conference cosponsored by the United States and Russia.
Moscow also defended its decision to deliver S-300 antiaircraft missiles to the Syrian government, saying they would help deter any foreign military intervention.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov harshly criticized a U.S.-backed draft resolution condemning the Syrian government ahead of a May 29 debate at the UN Human Rights Council.
The United Nations’ top human rights body is debating the draft resolution condemning the Syrian regime's use of Lebanese Hizballah fighters in the war against rebel forces.
The draft, which was put forward by the United States, Turkey, and Qatar, warns that the presence of foreign combatants in Syria "poses a serious threat to regional stability.”
Lavrov singled out the United States in his criticism, saying Washington was "actively promoting this extremely unwholesome initiative."
He warned the draft resolution would undermine his joint efforts with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to convene an international peace conference on Syria.
The U.S. envoy to the council, Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, said: "We don't see this as...undermining in any way."
Addressing the council, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay urged global powers not to supply Syria with weapons.
She also called on the international community to press both sides in its civil war to find a political solution to prevent more massacres and threats to regional stability.
"The increasing number of foreign fighters crossing Syria's borders to support one side or the other is further fueling the sectarian violence, and the situation is beginning to show worrying signs of destabilizing the region as a whole," Pillay said.
