Are British universities really destined for long term decline?


predictions of a collapse of the United Kingdom in mediocrity may be premature and miss the point, says Ferdinand von Prondzynski

. Top 200 QS World University Rankings 2012

The latest ranking of colleges has led to a new series of questions about the future global distribution of excellence in higher education and strength. There was a change in the position of some universities in the Western Hemisphere, with Ireland and Scotland, both the experience of this phenomenon. Ireland no longer has any university in the top 100 universities in the world, Scotland has always, Edinburgh, in the top 100 (or more), but other Scottish institutions have declined, in some cases, significantly

"Out of the golden triangle of London, Oxford and Cambridge, England world-class universities face a collapse of the general mediocrity, while investments in research universities Asia is beginning to bear fruit "editor Phil Baty ranking told the Guardian.

Although there is some drift, predicting a fall in mediocrity UK can be a bit premature. It is absolutely true that some emerging countries have made significant investments in higher education, as might be expected. But it produced no immediate challenge for global leadership. It contains only one top 20 in the U.S. non-university or the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

addition, the success of universities in China, Singapore, Korea and Japan (and only a very small number of the thousands of Asian universities do so at any university rankings) is mainly based on "Westernization" of these institutions and their teaching and research remit money. It did not start last year - was a phenomenon of the last decade, and although the results are there, not alarming

is clear that some countries make a transition to a more developed economy, universities benefit from increased investment and higher levels of ambition. But in reality, it is quite surprising that this has had a much greater impact on the ranking. This does not mean that there are no problems here treated. The uncertainty of university funding in these islands has certainly had an impact, but if other factors, such as inconsistencies and improbabilities of migration policies that affect the student movement, and the tendency for large companies to try university links outside of the classic series.

What can be more interesting, however, is the following: a track in the classification that the future university is no longer necessarily the oldest institution of classic blue-sky research. The new leader, ranked consulted or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology, perhaps a more targeted approach, university network and translation. Other institutions that reflect this profile rose in the rankings. Trying to find out what is the role of higher education is to be in the future, it may be the most interesting trend.

Columbus Day: no cause for celebration | Dana Lone Hill

"proud South Dakota does not honor the creator of the Native American genocide, but we are not alone in union

across America on Monday, people will celebrate Columbus Day. I do not know what that means exactly, except that there is usually a sale where you can buy white sheets on a reduction of 20%. It is assumed, however, can have parades, people have free time from work, school, etc. According to Wikipedia, "Columbus Day first became an official holiday in the state of Colorado in 1906 and became a day federal holiday in 1937, if people have celebrated Columbus's voyage since the colonial period. "

Personally, I do not know anyone who "celebrates" Columbus Day. I know a lot of people protesting Columbus Day.

In other states, that is. Look, 22 years ago here in South Dakota, Republican Gov. George Mickelson replaced Columbus Day with Native American Day. This is why it is the only state to honor the indigenous peoples of this country, instead of honoring the principle of attempted genocide. Mickelson has proclaimed the year 1990 as "Year of Reconciliation" and changed the holiday of the same year, with the help of the state legislature. He was supposed to be the beginning of a long way to improve race relations in the state which has a troubled history in this regard.

always been proud that our state does not respect someone who killed, raped and enslaved the indigenous peoples. Considering that the beginning of a genocide, it would be like putting a day dedicated to honoring the memory of Hitler and sale leaves a discount for its role in the world. Initiative Mickelson made me feel as if we were a little ahead of the rest of the country is the state in which remembers the massacre at Wounded Knee, the occupation of Wounded Knee, and the unsolved death of our people in incident in 1973. Therefore, we celebrate Native American Day, not Columbus Day.

This does not mean that the fudge and cookies not mysteriously disappeared, however. Too many children in the house.

Thus, 22 years after the proclamation of Governor Mickelson of "Year of Reconciliation" improved race relations in this state? We all like to think they did. But then is difficult to ignore an incident like this a few weeks ago at South Dakota State University, where students of Indian reservations in the state have been subjected to graffiti in a bathroom dorm called "Praire [sic black ] returns to the ground "(list specific numbers of students" room).

It was the same insult he had read in the anonymous letter to my family when I was 18. This latest incident has not stopped Native American students to go to college, and is considered a hate crime. But it shows that some of our citizens is clearly still a long way to go to learn to accept people who lived here before them.
Our hope is that we all learn from it - and remember Governor Mickelson, who made the first step, and he died at the age of 52 in an accident in 1993. One day, I hope the rest of the EU Member States will join the South Dakota not to honor the memory of a murderer.

SOMEONE THINK NOT EVIL MILK CUP OLD?

QPR last season, were beaten by Rochdale in the cup of milk and his manager Neil Warnock could not be happier to lose. This season, Leeds Everton won the Cup of milk and his manager Neil Warnock could not be happier to win. Warnockian Both reactions are understandable given the circumstances of the teams they were sent, but their disparate viewpoints demonstrate that, in a sport where all the participants are very fickle, nothing seems to bring out the inner hypocrisy Milk Cup enough.

After all, the Fiver was the beginning of his unique brand of nonsense for nearly a decade and has yet to form a coherent editorial line in the Milk Cup old man: "The Milk Cup is great! "" Waste Milk Cup "" Glass of milk worth it! " "The Cup of milk is a waste of time!" "The Cup of milk is called Milk Cup!" "The Cup is not called milk Milk Cup, called Rumbelows Cup!" But just as the Fiver has long argued that, in terms of entertainment a good funeral is always better than a bad marriage, the only thing we can probably all agree on is that the Cup game good milk is always better a great game Cup evil.

Take the last night of the next meeting of Manchester City and Aston Villa. Six goals? Select. Anger? Select. A comedy own goal karmic? Select. Schmozzle a margin? Select. Disparaging references to Sir Alex Ferguson, although he did not participate, which is almost certain to be the future benefits, prompting endless diversions on the line? Tickety-tickety-tickety-tickety tick. It may not have been the Red Star Belgrade 0-0 in Marseille Cup 1991 Grand Final, but at least he will live long in the memory

right

reasons.

"Whenever I say something, they come," said Mancini, referring to hate Villa manager Paul Lambert usually called Italian opponents to book more than anything you Mucky Pups is thinking. "Then, when they go to Old Trafford, never say anything. When other managers [at Old Trafford] speak against the referee, who are still in the bank and say nothing. You do not know why. Maybe it's because I'm Italian, but I do not know why. "

In short, Bobby Manc selling was inherently flawed line of logic called "whatabouttery", in which people of football (fans, players, managers, ... Who's Fiver) try excuse their own bad behavior attracts attention similar or worse behavior of others. But, Lord Ferg slide in a fight that has nothing to do with him, the general consensus seems to be that the Italian media has taken almost certainly a serious bug that will pay later.

course, the irony is that if Lord Ferg did the same thing as the general consensus Mancini media is almost certain to be played Ferg on his "mind games" incredibly intelligent, which suggests that perhaps, just maybe, Mancini has a point.

Scientists waste no time in growing graphene

Researchers have managed to grow graphene - commonly used in pencils but now terribly expensive - food, insects and waste

Cookies

, garbage and errors in Texas, give hope that Britain will develop a lucrative business empire techology new base soon, and not just at the end. This is to obtain usable quantities of graphene - a carbon dimensions. American experience, it seems ridiculous that drew attention to something, showing a cheap way to get what is now the substance terribly expensive.

Scientists have long known that graphene is, and what is common. The gray matter consists pencils countless layers of graphene, adhering to each other. When scribble a mass newsletters layers, subsequently holding the sheet of paper. A few years ago, Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov, University of Manchester, using intelligence, a pen and some tape to separate individual graphene layers. Obtained small amounts -. But it was surprisingly more than any other rose

To do this, and then using their graphene to discover a variety of physical properties and potential industrial uses, Geim and Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize in 2010 and knighted in 2011.

next year - this year - the British government announced it would spend £ 38 million to establish a Geim / National Institute Novoselov graphene centered at the University of Manchester in order to "put this research into commercial success. "

But there is a big problem. Even small amounts of graphene still cost much more than the industry can offer dream.

Entry Tequila diamonds Physics, National Autonomous University of Mexico, published his story in the document entitled Growth diamond films Tequila. Co-author Javier Morales said he did later with tequila diamonds cheaper on the market, to demonstrate the power of his art.

This same spirit is manifest in the experience of Texas, led by Jim Tour, Ruan Gedeng, Sun Zhiwei Peng Zhengzong and Rice University in Houston, and documented in a study on growth of graphene food , insects and debris.


Others, however, had developed ways to grow graphene. These other methods expensive start-containing carbon highly purified chemical feedstocks. Tour of Rice and colleagues write that "carbon sources and much less expensive, such as food, insects and waste, can be used without purification for the monolayer graphene increasingly high quality."

explain how to produce graphene from (at different times): Girl Scout cookies, chocolate, grass, a plastic plate, a cockroach leg, and feces of a dachshund. Their tools. Copper foil, the argon gas and a tube furnace 1050-degrees Centigrade ()
by his own estimation, a box of Girl Scout cookies could, in theory, at current prices, it is about $ 15 billion in graphene.

Perseid meteor shower this weekend: how to get the best view



The Perseids meteor shower of the year's most spectacular for the spectators in the northern hemisphere will be this weekend

Upload your photos with "shower Perseid meteors" in the subject line - scroll to the end of the article for more details

screen

Perseids meteor is at our doorstep. Over the next four days, the Earth will pass through the dust trail left by a giant comet happened around the sun since the birth of the solar system.

Each small fragment of comet hit our atmosphere is generally the size of a grain of dust. However, it burns with an incandescent display called a shooting star. For technical assistance in this regard: a. Meteorite

This year, the Perseids will be visible from the northern hemisphere between 11 and 14 August

If the clouds cooperate and clear skies this weekend to watch the optimal times are usually between midnight and 3 am. This year, on the night of 12 passes for 13 is expected to be the best. But meteor showers are extremely variable and if you have the chance to see in the early morning hours of between 11 and 14 years.

The direction in which to look for is the East. If you know your constellations, Perseus found then look at their environment. Take a long chair, blankets and a thermos of hot water to keep you company. Even in August, will be the last two. Then wait. The expected rate of meteors this year is a few tens per hour. Perseids Each time was a time in the tail of the comet Swift-Tuttle, an iceberg, 27 kilometers wide in space. He spends most of his time in the outer solar system, beyond the orbit of Pluto. Then every 133 years, beyond the sun dipped, the replacement of the source of the Perseids.

And if you really want to impress your friends geeks, while everyone any trouble, ask them why meteors burn up in Earth's atmosphere. Chances are they will say friction. It is a popular misconception.

friction occurs when the objects slide against each other. This is not the case of a meteor. When you reach the upper atmosphere moves faster than 160,000 miles per hour (100.000 mph). This compresses the air in front of him. When compressed gas is naturally heated. In this case, the temperature reaches several thousand degrees, which burns the meteor. No sliding motion, there is no friction.


As you watch this weekend, spare a thought for the wonder of it all. Each of these meteors was born as the Earth was formed about 4.5 billion years. This means that everyone has a story to tell.

By capturing the meteors before his death, as did the Stardust mission, we can begin to read the story of the birth of the solar system.

Amy Winehouse's influence on falling drug use is greater than any policy | William Sutcliffe

is the plight of known drug users, more than any other "war against drugs" that put young people off illicit drug

government figures released this week showed that illicit drug use among young people is at its lowest level since 1996. This news has been accompanied by a curious silence of those who are behind the "war against drugs". Why not proclaimed a great victory, announcing final justification against those liberals who say their efforts useless?

Is it, perhaps, that the officers and privates of the war have so little confidence in his own business, he can not even muster the will to understand a PR boost when you arrive? It seems that even those who are behind the attempts of several million pounds to curb global production and shipment of drugs know that their task, rather than touch that young people construct their nose and veins, is among Tribune policy. If drug use is declining among younger contemporaries, this can be due to a decline in demand, not supply.

For all the opprobrium
accumulated only in the British tabloids, persecution and exposure of celebrity drug can probably take some credit deglamorising drug, which should be a key factor in the thinning demand. Smoking drug Beatles and the Rolling Stones in the '60s has issued more heroic, regardless of the Happy Mondays were in the 80s, it was hard to enjoy the music without wanting to try, like Acid House in the 90th the name tells you that the drugs were seen as part of the fun. Nobody thinks dependencies Amy Winehouse, who died a year ago this week, was a contributing factor to their creativity and musical success. Stories of celebrities drugs today from Pete Doherty to Whitney Houston are always scary and sad. Finally, it seems, is really nothing glamorous about drugs. Our culture has changed.

drug awareness films showed once addicted to heroin in the skeleton drip shoot houses, and tried to convince young people that it was the inevitable outcome few puffs a gasket. This message was unlikely and ineffective. Now, however, the humiliating fall of famous addicts changing tastes of young people. If the war against drugs has a figurehead of influence, not George Bush or any drug czar Metropolitan Police. This is Amy Winehouse.
