No full textDuring the X Media Lab: Global Media Ideas summit in June 2011, media and technology writer Brad Howarth conducted interviews with industry experts for Creativeinnovation. This video is part one of Brad Howarth's interview with Chris Tanner where he describes his background working at Silicon Graphics in the early 90s and the story of developing the technology that would become Google Earth. Chris Tanner also speaks about the challenges of the parent company Keyhole who were established in order to take the technical concept and turn it into a business before Google came along offering the scope and scale to take it global
Global Media Ideas - Infinite Pathways to Creative Succes - Chris Tanner - Part Two.mp4
No full textDuring the X Media Lab: Global Ideas summit in June 2011, media and technology writer Brad Howarth conducted interviews with industry experts for Creativeinnovation. This video is part two of Brad Howarth's interview with Chris Tanner. In this video Chris Tanner speaks about his habits as an entrepreneur and the development of his new company GET IT Mobile (previously Emdigo) - a service which helps people get mobile applications from anywhere, fast. He discuss opportunities for companies inside the technology space, the importance of metrics and how companies should gauge success in the new media. And offers some advice on ensuring you gather and listen to feedback on your business model and being prepared to iterate
Book Review of "Architecture of Happiness" by Alain de Botton. Pantheon Books, New York.
No full textDe Botton’s book is an exploration (often philosophical and
poetical) of architecture and its contribution to human wellbeing. At the heart of this lyrical, often humorous and beautifully illustrated book is a clearly articulated insight into the complex and dynamic transactions that occur between humans and the buildings that they design, construct and choose to inhabit. In paraphrasing John Ruskin, de Botton suggests that humans seek two things from their buildings - “We want them to shelter us. And we want them to speak to us …of whatever we find important and need to be reminded of” (p.62). This metaphor of dialogue, conversation and the eloquence of structure is a central thread upon which the author frequently returns and elaborates
An Unsung Hero of the Tanner--Jeffrey Subramanian
No full textJeffrey Subramanian beautifies the grounds surrounding the Tanner Building, but he also writes poetry and plays the cello. The author calls Jeffrey an unsung hero because he is, in fact, the author\u27s hero
Molecular parentage of radical species in the comae of comets
No full textUnderstanding the chemical composition of comets is of great interest to the scientific community. In this work, an integral field unit (IFU) spectrograph is used to detect emissions of C2, C3, CH, CN, and NH2. The azimuthal average profile (line integral of the column density as a function of radial distance from the center of the nucleus) is simulated by the Haser model. The Haser model simulates the outgassing and photo-dissociate of molecular species in the coma. In this work, the lifetime of the parent molecule in the photo-dissociation chain is set as a free parameter. The best fit parent lifetimes for observations of comets 4P/Faye, 10P/Tempel 2, and C/2009 P1 Garradd are obtained. The results are compared to parent lifetimes cited in other studies. HCN as a likely dominant parent for CN is eliminated. Constraints on likely parent molecules for C3 and NH2 are discussed
Robert Walser's "Geschwister Tanner" as a Bildungsroman
No full textBakalaura darba mērķis ir raksturot Roberta Valsera romānu «Brāļi un māsas Taneri» («Geschwister Tanner») kā personības attīstības romānu. Bakalaura darbā ir izklāstīts jēdziena «personības attīstības romāns» («Entwciklungsroman»/«Bildunsgroman») attīstība 18., 19. un 20.gadsimtā. Darbā tiek aplūkots arī paša rakstnieka Roberta Valsera īss dzīves gājums. Bakalaura darba trešā daļa ir veltīta romāna «Brāļi un māsas Taneri» («Geschwister Tanner») galvenā varoņa attīstības iespējām, kā arī vai viņš izmanto šīs iespējas.
Kopsavilkumā tiek attainots tas, ka neskatoties uz iespējām, galvenais varonis neizmanto tās sevis attīstībai, kā arī ņemot vērā daudzās idejas sevis attīstībai, tās netiek dzīvē realizētas.The Bachelor paper «Robert Walser`s «Geschwister Tanner» as a Bildungsroman has the aim to interprete Walser`s novel as a Bildungsroman. The paper explores the development of the terms «Bildungsroman» and «Entwicklungsroman» over the 18th, 19th and 20th century. It also includes a short biography of the Swiss author Robert Walser. In the third part of the Bachelor paper, the novel "Geschwister Tanner" is analyzed closely and the focus is on the development opportunities of the protagonist and deals with the question if he takes his chances.
The conclusion of the paper is that the protagonist Simon Tanner fails to go through a positive development. Despite his many ideas he fails to realize them

No full textThe views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent those of the IMF or IMF policy. Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. Fiscal rules—legal restrictions on government borrowing, spending, or debt accumulation (like the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act in the United States)―have recently been adopted or considered in several countries, both industrial and developing. Previous literature stresses that such laws restrict countercyclical government borrowing, thus preventing intertemporal equalization of marginal deadweight losses of taxation—an idea associated with Frank Ramsey. However, such literature typically abstracts from persistent current deficits that are financed by future tax increases. Eliminating such deficits may substantially reduce tax rate variability—the very goal of countercyclical borrowing—even over a finite horizon. Thus, Gramm-Rudman-Hollings and Frank Ramsey are not necessarily enemies and they may even be good friends
Diving Beneath the Sea of Stellar Activity: Chromatic Radial Velocities of the Young AU Mic Planetary System
No full textAbstract We present updated radial-velocity (RV) analyses of the AU Mic system. AU Mic is a young (22 Myr) early-M dwarf known to host two transiting planets— P b ∼ 8.46 days, R b = 4.38 − 0.18 + 0.18 R ⊕ , P c ∼ 18.86 days, R c = 3.51 − 0.16 + 0.16 R ⊕ . With visible RVs from Calar Alto high-Resolution search for M dwarfs with Exo-earths with Near-infrared and optical echelle Spectrographs (CARMENES)-VIS, CHIRON, HARPS, HIRES, M inerva -Australis, and Tillinghast Reflector Echelle Spectrograph, as well as near-infrared (NIR) RVs from CARMENES-NIR, CSHELL, IRD, iSHELL, NIRSPEC, and SPIRou, we provide a 5 σ upper limit to the mass of AU Mic c of M c ≤ 20.13 M ⊕ and present a refined mass of AU Mic b of M b = 20.12 − 1.57 + 1.72 M ⊕ . Used in our analyses is a new RV modeling toolkit to exploit the wavelength dependence of stellar activity present in our RVs via wavelength-dependent Gaussian processes. By obtaining near-simultaneous visible and near-infrared RVs, we also compute the temporal evolution of RV “color” and introduce a regressional method to aid in isolating Keplerian from stellar activity signals when modeling RVs in future works. Using a multiwavelength Gaussian process model, we demonstrate the ability to recover injected planets at 5 σ significance with semi-amplitudes down to ≈10 m s −1 with a known ephemeris, more than an order of magnitude below the stellar activity amplitude. However, we find that the accuracy of the recovered semi-amplitudes is ∼50% for such signals with our model.Abstract We present updated radial-velocity (RV) analyses of the AU Mic system.
