For all his fame and celebration, William Shakespeare remains a mysteriousfigure with regards to personal history. There are just two primary sourcesfor information on the Bard: his works, and various legal and churchdocuments that have survived from Elizabethan times. Naturally, there are many gapsin this body of information, which tells us little about Shakespeare the man.

Well in 2004 we integrated ticketing in South East Queensland, so we introduceda paper ticket that allowed you to travel across all the three modesin South East Queensland, so bus, train and ferryand the second stage of integrated ticketing is the introduction of a Smart Card, and the Smart Card will enable people to storevalue so to put value on the card, and then to use the card for travelingaround the system.

In animals, a movement is coordinated by a cluster of neurons in the spinal cord called the central contractpatterns generator (CPG). This produces signals that drive muscles to contract rhythmically in a way that produces running or walking, depending on the patternof pulses. A simple signal from the brain instructs the CPG to switch between different modessuch as going from a standstill to walking.

Financial markets swung wildly yesterday in the frenzied trading market by further selling of equitiesand fears about an unraveling of the global carry trade. At the same time, trading in the US and European credit markets were exceptionally heavyfor a third consecutive day. London trading was marked by particularly wild swingsin the prices of credit derivatives, used to ensure investors against corporatedefaults.

Bruch and her colleague Mark Newman studied who swapped messages with whom on a popular online dating platform in the month of January 2014. They categorizedusers by desirability using PageRank, one of the algorithms behind search technology.Essentially, if you receive a dozen messages from desirable users, you must be more desirable than someone who receives the same number of messages from average users. Then they asked: How far "out of their league" do online daters tend to go when pursuing a partner? "I think people are optimistic realists."In other words, they found that both men and women tended to pursue mates just 25 percent more desirable than themselves. "So they're being optimistic, but they're also taking into account their own relative position within this overall desirability hierarchy." And the study did have a few more lessonsfor people on the market: "I think one of the take-home messages from this study is that women could probably afford to be more aspirational in their matepursuit."

So, what is quantum mechanics? Even though it was discovered by physicists,it's not a physical theory in the same sense as electromagnetismor general relativity. In the usual "hierarchyof sciences" -- with biology at the top, then chemistry, then physics, then maths -- quantum mechanics sits at a levelbetween maths and physics that I don't know a good name for. Basically, quantum mechanics is the operatingsystem that other physical theories run on as application software (with the exceptionof general relativity, which hasn't yet been successfully ported to this particular OS).

Some years ago, Bjorn Lomborg, a young Danish statistician, published a book called The Sceptical Environmentalist. It became a bestsellerand generated a lot of heat. Lomborg was attacked, abused and accusedof all manner of things; not because he denied the fact of global warming - in fact he affirmedit - but because, on his analysis, the devil and, he says, a lot of deviousnesswas contained in the details presented concerning the size of the problem and what were the most responsiblesteps to take in response to global warming.

I think that's not going to be such uh, a viableoption for Cerberus, but, uh, that may be the way that they're gonna approach it. Private equityof course is supposed to have the advantage of taking, uh, management out of the spotlight of, uh, quarterly profits, uh, and industry analysts,and, and, uh, prying shareholder eyes, and that, hypothetically,gives them a chance to take, uh, slower, more patientroutes to doing something to turn a company around. I would, uh, I would hope, and I have some, I guess optimism,that some of the Cerberus team will have some creativity and imagination.

For many developed countries, the 1980s was a time when the switch from traditional heavy industries and manufacturing to services and information-based enterprisewas completed. This led to widespread changes in employment patternsin these countries, as well as having profound social effects. In fact, it isn't going too far to say that there was a basic transformation in the whole culture which can still be observedtoday.

This multi-million-selling Internet book is still the ultimate handbook for novicesand experts alike.

This fully revisedguide covers all the latest sites and crazes.Whether you've never sent an email or you just want to keep up with the latest developments,this is the book for you.

We've decided to adopt, just as a loose theme for the course, a biologicaltheme so that you can see the connectionsbetween chemistry and biology and the things you might consider doing in the future. We want you to think about the moleculesthat are relevant to your body, the processes that occur in your body, the chemistry that's going on and how energyplays a role. And we divided the course into four sections and after each section there will be a mid-term. The first one, or an exam. The first one is about matter.

The growth of the modern statebrought with it the development of mass political parties and the emergence of professional politicians. A man whose occupation is the strugglefor political power may go about it in two ways. First, a person who relies on their political activities to supply their main sourceof income is said to Live off politics, while a person who engagesin full-time political activities, but who doesn't receive an income from it, is said to live for politics. Now, a political system in which recruitmentto positions of power is filled by those who live for politics is necessarily drawn from a property-owning elite, who are not usually entrepreneurs. However, this is not to imply that such politicians will necessarily pursue policies which are wholly biasedtowards the interests of the class they originatefrom.

There is such a thing as information overload.There is just so much information out there now that we can't copewith it or fully absorb it, or even decide which bits of it we want to keep in our minds, or which to discard. There is a similar thing going on with the range of choices we have as consumers.There is so much stuff out there, so much to choose from, that, according to some experts, this situation is making us miserable.Most of us believe that the more we have to choose from the better, yet apparently our dissatisfaction with this wealth of choice, or rather the anxiety it produces, is part of a larger trend.It seems that, as society grows more affluentand people become freer to do what they want, the unhappier they become.

To be honest, the biggest problem for most undergraduate students, in terms of academic writing, is not only adapting to a far more structuredand formal style, but also learning how to ascertain the difference between important, validinformation and unnecessary, or even irrelevant material.In my experience, I would say it takes students their first year, if not longer, to appreciatewhat is required and to start to implement those requirements in their writing. What they really should be doing, if they are struggling with written assignmentsis to seek help from the excellentsupport services which are available at the University.

Along the way we have built unashamedlybeautiful buildings, two of which have won and another was runner- up in the prestigious United Nations World HabitatAward: the first time an Australian building has received that international honour. We rely on older conceptsof Australian architecture that are heavily influenced by the bush. All residents have private verandhas which allow them to socializeoutdoors and also creates some "defensible space" between their bedrooms and public areas. We use a lot of naturaland soft materials to build beautiful landscape gardens.

What is nanotechnology? Well, a report that was put together by a combinationof the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering that came out last summer, identifiedtwo topics. Nano-science is the study of phenomenaand the manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, where properties differ significantly from those as a larger scale. Nanotechnologies are the design characterization, production and application of structures,devices and systems by controlling shape and size at the nanometer scale. So I'll talk a little bit more in a moment about what a nanometer is, but looselyspeaking people think of nanotechnologies as being a sort of a hundred nanometers or less.

Obviously, this is all relevant to your final assignment. So we're going to talk about it. So until today, we've gone through face to face interviews as the main sort of part of interviewing the window. Today we're going to have a look at going to use an email and why they work, why they don't necessarily work, and what are the challengesand some of the things that we need to be understanding, you know when we are completing such interpreters. So let's start with the foreign one. Obviously, there are a few benefitsto them, and they are listed there up on that slide. It's obviously less stressful for those of you who might be a little bit anxiousabout interviewing.

Green chemistry is a is a concept designed to develop technologieswhich allow chemistry to be practiced with minimal damage to the environment or in an environmentally compatibleway. And it's meant to cover both chemical processes and chemical products.The center, if you would, set up about seven or eight years ago, and the idea was to provide a hub of activities that covered fundamentalresearch work, industrial collaboration, but also educational developments. So we work with schools and on public understandingprojects as well, and also networking. So we network out to well over 1000 people around the globe.

Why do we need more entrepreneurs right now? The entrepreneurs who create and run our businesses, who play by the rules are in fact critical to our successas a nation. We need them especially today. Business not government, will end this recession.Government must help by creating fair rules, soundmonetary policy, and by protecting our fellow citizens in periods when they are jobless. We have to make way for the new entrepreneurialfirms that will push us to frontiersof innovation.

Those of you who've never heard the term neo-Latin, may be forgiven for thinking it's a new South American dance craze. If you're puzzledwhen I tell you it has something to do with the language of Romans, take heart, over the years many classes who have confessedthey are not really sure what it is either. Some have assumedthat they are so-called ‘Late-Latin', written at the end of the Roman Empire. Others have supposed it must have something to do with the middle ages. Or perhaps it's that pseudo-Latinwhich my five and seven- year-old boys seem to have gleanedfrom the Harry Potter books, useful for spells and curses that they zip one another with makeshift paper ash ones. No, in fact, neo-Latin is more or less the same as the Latin that was written in the ancientworld, classical Latin. So, what's so new about it?

That brings us to the CEO's second duty: building everyoneor more accurately, building the senior team. All the executives report to the CEO, so it's the CEO's job to hire, fire, and manage the executive team. From coachingCEOs, I actually think this is the most important skill of all. Because when a CEO hires an excellent senior team, that team can keep the company running. when a CEO hire a poor senior team, the CEO is up spendingall of their time trying to do with the team, and not nearly enough time trying to do with other elements of their job. The senior team can and often does developthe strategy for the company, but ultimately it's always the CEO who has the final 'go-no-go' decision on strategy.

There are some 250 million cars in America, 250 million cars in the country with just over 300 million people. And most of those vehicles, of course, are gas powered.This poses a huge challenge given the limited supplies of oil and the growing urgencyof the global warming crisis. But there is good news, according to our guests today. And that is we have the know-how and the technology to build sleek,fast automobiles that don't use gasoline. These vehicles of tomorrow are powered by hydrogen, electricity, bio-fuels, and digital technology. And they already exist. So what's stopping us from putting them on the roads? Our guests today will help answer that.

The earlier chocolate was quite unpalatable. They used to add things to it to make it more palatable, so for the early chocolate, they didn't know how to extract all the cocoafat from it, so it was, or could be quite greasyand if you made it as a drink you'd have this sort of scum on the top. So they used to try and add things to it, like starchand things, to make it a more palatable product. So there were a lot of scandalsaround the kind of things they were adding to chocolate in the nineteenth century. So by the sort of 1870s, 1880s, there are people like Cadbury's saying, 'Our chocolate is absolutely pure'. We have this new process, the Van Houten process which now extracts all this horriblefat that we can use to make eating chocolate. Now we have a pure product.
