Pimprae Hiranprueck: “Intersecting the Parallels” examines a young woman’s life in both the United States and Thailand (PHOTOS). Pimprae Hiranprueck When Pimprae Hiranprueck was 13, her parents sat her down and told her she would be leaving Thailand for a military boarding school in Florida.
Her father had come to the United States in 1967 as an exchange student and wanted his daughter to receive an American education, a sentiment Hiranprueck didn’t share. “I was devastated,” she said. “For a 13-year-old girl who didn’t speak English very well, moving to a foreign country was a terrifying idea.” She cried herself to sleep for the first month and felt lost and confused. Once Hiranprueck (who goes by Nancy) graduated, she enrolled in the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she studied fashion design and textiles, eventually discovering photography. But her feelings of longing for her old home came back to her while working on her senior thesis. She decided to put away her original thesis and focus on herself to try to figure out her conflicting emotions about to which country she truly belonged.
The Possible Parallel Universe of Dark Matter. I am a light-matter chauvinist.
Don’t snicker; you’re probably one, too. Almost all of us are. We think of ourselves, and the world immediately around us, as something special. And by extension we regard our kind of matter — atoms, molecules, rocks, water, air, stars and all of the other things that interact with visible light — as the most important kind of matter in the universe. The only matter that matters, as it were.
Science tells a starkly different story. Even the technical language used to describe the Planck result was humbling. But cosmologists have a hard time letting go of their prejudices. Two recent advances hint at just how much we have been missing about the dark side. The other shoe dropped earlier this year, when a group of Harvard University theorists, including Lisa Randall and JiJi Fan, formulated a new theory of dark matter.
Acknowledging that dark matter might have some of the same kind of diversity as visible matter may seem a minor adjustment. The Useless Web.

Chemical information is in the early stages of a revolution.
Long dominated by a handful of established players, the field has rather suddenly opened up to a variety of innovative newcomers. The Internet now offers a diverse array of free online chemistry databases, twelve of which were summarized in a recent article. This list has since been updated with new information and new entries. The following (incomplete) list summarizes some of the possibilities available for your next search. PubChem- The granddaddy of all free chemistry databases. Spectral Database for Organic Compounds (SDBS)- Search by name, molecular formula, molecular weight range, or CAS Number through over 14,000 full 1H NMR spectra, 12,000 full 13C spectra, and 50,000 full FT-IR spectra collected from over 32,000 compounds.BindingDB- Structure search over 24,000 Ki and IC50 measurements from over 10,000 molecules.
