...express[es] the ‘shock of recognition’” of arriving and experiencing the magnificent Pacific coastline for the first time. From beginning to end, the piece exudes tropical colors from the BBC Symphony Orchestra and sweeping lines on the solo six-string electric violin. Violinist Tracy Silverman’s playing is lush, velvety and a bit mischievous—which is perfectly suited for this piece. In “A New Day,” the first of two movements, Silverman plays a continuous, floating 14-minute melody over the ever-changing...

While waiting for help to arrive, keep the mom-to-be talking. Topics to avoid include her bloated ankles, where her wedding ring is, and the amniotic fluid all over your new Pumas...
...string theory and theoretical particle physics, the arXiv has completely replaced journals as the mode of communication amongst researchers. Far from being inundated by “junk science,” the arXiv has in fact managed to maintain a consistent level of quality and has greatly facilitated the growth of the field by allowing instant exchange of information across continents and easy access to research papers. Hundreds of discoveries are reported first on the arXiv, and only much later (and sometimes never) are they sent to peer-reviewed journals...
