Ted Scheer: The Crab Mon, And The Spoon Mon
This is my father, Ted Scheer, most people around the island know him as The Crab Mon, and The Spoon Mon. He received these nicknames by doing what he loves. The Crab Mon nickname came around when he would work at the Weston doing race crabs. Kids and adults would pick out a hermit crab, and then after all the crabs had a name, he would put them in a bucket and flip the bucket over in the middle of a ring and let the crabs go. The winner is the first crab that reaches the edge of the circle. The winner of the crab would get prizes. On each race a different prize would be given out. On teds spare time he would go to a local bar and lisone to music. Bing a talented man ted would often chime in with his spoon playing ability . This is how he got

    At the end of The Monkey and the Monk, the pilgrims acquire the scriptures and, thus, fulfill the task of their journey and please Bodhisattva. Yet, she points out that “within our order of Buddhism, nine times nine is the crucial means by which one returns to immortality. The sage monk has undergone eighty ordeals. Because one ordeal, therefore, is still lacking, the sacred number is not yet complete.”(Wu Cheng’en, 470) Even though the sage monk performed tasks that were supposed to lead to immortality, Bodhisattva suddenly says that his deeds were not sufficient unless the pilgrims performed one more ordeal for the perfect number of sufferings. This behavior of Guanyin is problematic – why would she suddenly insist…

    Mabo was born on July the 25th, 1936 in the village of Laos on Murray Island. However, soon after his birth, his mother passed away. Because of this, Eddie’s father gave him away, to his brother, and Eddie’s uncle, Benny Mabo. From birth Eddie was taught the traditions and customs of the indigenous people by the elders as well as his family, while at the same time he learned to read and write from a teacher at the island school, Robert Miles. However, due to the state of the country at the time, no islander was expected to pass beyond primary school. His life was very simple and rudimentary, spending most of his time learning how to fish, grow plants, and sing the songs of his culture.…

    The melancholy of life, death and old age, are one of the many issues dealt with, in Alan Bennett’s heart-rending tale. It tells the story of an isolated, fragile, elderly woman, who feels ensnared in a modernised society in which she strives for her sovereignty and prominence. In a culture where the old are forgotten, neglected and depicted as useless. ‘A Cream Cracker Under The Settee’ seems to be the perfect title of the play as the double entendre epitomizes this remarkably. In addition, another reason for the dramatic piece being called ‘A Cream Cracker Under The Settee’. Is because a cream cracker was indeed found under a settee in the play, this makes the title rather ironic. As the title in many ways also symbolises the character of Doris as she is depicted as a lost soul, abandoned, waiting to be found and cared for. Throughout ‘Cream Cracker’, the protagonist: Doris, speaks to an unseen audience, this could be seen to be another allegory used to signify the title of the play. As although the audience is unseen to Doris as ‘the cream cracker under the settee’ is unnoticed, this may be used to indicate that although the object is concealed, this does not make it any less important than the objects that are perceived.…

    This year, the 334 curriculum has started. Together with the AL entrants, the total number of CUHK students has dramatically increased. This causes the problem of resource allocation in different aspects. School bus service is particularly facing a resource deficiency. The school has already carried out a series of measures to alleviate the problem. However, according to the survey we conducted, students still have to wait for a long time before they can get on the bus. If the queue is too long, they may even choose to walk to the lecture rooms. However, it is very time-consuming and energy-demanding.…

    | It was about 10:30 at night, and except for a small desk lamp and the glow from my computer monitor, it was dark. The genome of the photosynthetic bacteria Prochloroccocus marinus, responsible for providing nearly 40% of the world's energy needs, had just been sequenced. I loaded the draft version of the genbank file into my software pipeline I spent the last two years developing. Minutes later, a genome-scale reconstruction of the P. marinus metabolism appeared on my screen. In that moment, I knew I was the first person to view the entire metabolism of this cyanobacteria. I remember the chills going down my spine, the palpitation of my heart, and the rush that comes only from breathing the rarified air of discovery.The original motivation for this research came from a paper written in 1999 called "Towards Metabolic Phenomics: An analysis of Genomics using Flux Balances". In this paper, Schilling, Edwards and Palsson noted that with the rapid completion of bacterial genomes, ORFeomes and proteomes, we are therefore at the brink of having a complete 'part catalog' of many organisms. Based on that observation, they predicted our ability to understand the complex relationship between genotype and phenotype will be limited "not by the data, but by our tools to analyze and interpret this data." Finally, they proposed a bioinformatics pipeline to automatically generate metabolic flux models from an annotated genome, arguing that a rigorous constraint-based analysis of these models would enable us to iteratively refine our knowledge.Inspired by this argument, I implementated their proposal for the Church Lab at Harvard Medical School, enabling us to generate experimentally verifiable flux predictions based on different hypotheses for bacterial growth. This work is described in a paper we published with the ungainly title of "From annotated genomes to metabolic flux models and kinetic parameter fitting." Based on this experience, I…
