*child-care not health care. But I guess health care is not much cheaper.

Isn't that the cost of ~two months of healthcare in the US?

The recently released Euclid Q1 images have been turned into HiPS image surveys, which can be explored with Aladin Desktop or Aladin Lite.
They are also accessible in the HiPS network.

Doing that has been on my todo list for a while. Was it a quick thing to do?

I’ll put a note about this for the next vizier team meeting to be aware of the risk for mixing it up.
Especially because the .astro is in our email addresses it’s an easy mix up.

Thanks for finding and reporting it. That was an unfortunate error πŸ˜…

If you were linked to that site from our Vizier site then you can send us an email with the details and it will be fixed :)

Thanks for tagging me. In fact I’m an astronomer in the Vizier team and this is really strange. We had no issues with our domain: vizier.cds.unistra.fr/index.gml

It's not really new to me but I have never really done science in it and its my third language and french is really a tough language to master. But after one semester it seems I am managing just fine. Whenever I missed a word I ask the students and that breaks the ice.

07.12.2024 13:43 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Ha well for me the biggest challenge was BY FAR having to teach in french. I am just about at that level in terms of language but not even close to my english level. I was terrified that they'd think I am not understandable and a terrible teacher. It was fine but that was anxiety inducing.

Maybe I am too young as I just survived my first semester :D
But so far the students have been great and grading not too bad. Maybe ask me again in 10 years...

I literally cannot tell anymore on the internet because I heard the "grades do not matter" discourse quite a bit from US colleagues. And as students are paying customers over there the grade inflation is real. Everyone expects an A really. Whereas anything above a 15/20 here in france is rare.

06.12.2024 16:15 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

And I say this with a lot of kindness towards the students. Why let someone pass the first semester just to be nice when they will never manage in the end because they simply do not have the level? Wasted time for them. But maybe I am to oldschool here as I think exams are actually really valuable.

06.12.2024 16:00 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I can't believe that this is actually something someone would suggest for real. Grades are not to punish students. Its to see how much they understood. Of course exams are not perfect but if someone can't pass the easier questions then maybe they are in the wrong subject.

Anthem plans to put time limits on anesthesia coverage, alarming doctors and patients Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield says it will put time limits on anesthesia care starting next year. Doctors and elected officials, including in New York and Connecticut, are asking it to change course.

Capitalism level dystopia brought to you by US Healthcare.

Thanks for clarifying Jay. It seemed really long to keep them under wraps for 3 days. Still not sure why they implement such a strict procedure in the way it works because as someone said in another thread: These things can be spotted with much smaller telescopes.

Me neither. Also wondering how the three day delay impacts transient searches and if that is even useful to do so when other countries are not subjected to the same limitations and could easily find the satellites they want to hide.

When a Telescope Is a National-Security Risk How do you know what you’re not allowed to see?

That’s an absolutely crazy story 🀯 Also what are US secret agencies gonna do about non US based facilities mapping the sky?Could they could force similar procedures on other survey telescopes?

That was my first thought as well. But not sure when it will be solid enough to do squats and that stuff. But can definitely start with non weight bearing.

Yeah I’m trying to be conservative in week one so that hopefully it heals quickly. πŸ‘Œ
But not much experience with broken bones as an adult so no clue if the six weeks are realistic.

Sure no worries. I’m not stuck. I can get around on the crutches and I can limp without them when putting my weight on my heel but it’s super awkward.
Currently sitting with my coffee on my south facing terrace enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Definitely getting outside as much as I can.

No they don’t do that for a small toe. But typically they told me in 1-2 weeks my daily life should be doable without it being too painful.

As soon as I’m able to put on shoes I’ll try out cross training in the gym to see what doesn’t hurt. Rowing is on the list πŸ˜…
When I’m away for the holiday and have no gym I’ll have to see. But by then I should be able to walk.
