Voices of CS: MS Bridge Student Testimonials This class has been my favorite since it is like a puzzle where I get a sense of achievement when I finally get to solve it. We are learning about different data structures such as ArrayList, LinkedList, Stacks, Queues, Hash Tables, etc, and then combining them with a set of algorithms to solve the problem in a creative and efficient way. I think Data Structures is one of the most important classes in the whole CS undergraduate curriculum.

What Katalinan scientist, what bio-engineer first thought to take their knife to a Buyin oraculo’s back?

![]() ![]() I left City Rockers with a plan to start out on my own. I was offered a consultant A&R job at London Records and later set up City Rockers with the same guy from London. How did you start working in the music industry? I did so many but I guess the special ones were meeting and interviewing KRS-One, Chuck D, India (from Masters At Work), Wyclef Jean, Photek and Mathiew Kassovitz, not forgetting the time I interviewed Gonzo from The Muppets. Yes, before working at record labels and djing I was a music journalist, I was the Assistant Editor and Music Editor at Dazed and Confused magazine between '93 and '96 and freelanced for other publications. Has music always been a part of your life? I then discovered house, hardcore and jungle whilst at college in '89. I bought Technics 1210s and a Numark 1775 mixer when I was 14, but I couldn't mix and didn't realise there was a career in djing until much later. A proper labour of love, all tracks have been roadtested for inclusion by Damian in the past six months. Quite incredible! Damian is currently preparing the hotly anticpiated ‘Rebel Futurism Session 2’ for release in February 2005. It broke all records with 10000 people from around the world downloading the album in just one month.

If your skin is fair, you may want a higher SPF of 30 to 50. To get the most protection out of sunscreen, choose one with an SPF of at least 15. Therefore, under the label requirements, for sunscreens labeled "Broad Spectrum SPF ", they will indicate protection from both UVA and UVB radiation. Because SPF values are determined from a test that measures protection against sunburn caused by UVB radiation, SPF values only indicate a sunscreen's UVB protection.Īs of June 2011, sunscreens that pass the broad spectrum test can demonstrate that they also provide UVA protection. Higher SPF values (up to 50) provide greater sunburn protection. The product is then labeled with the appropriate SPF value. All sunscreens are tested to measure the amount of UV radiation exposure it takes to cause sunburn when using a sunscreen compared to how much UV exposure it takes to cause a sunburn when not using a sunscreen. The SPF value indicates the level of sunburn protection provided by the sunscreen product. Sunscreens are made in a wide range of SPFs. This product has been shown only to help prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging.” Sun protection factor (SPF) "Skin Cancer/Skin Aging Alert: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging.

Protect the sunscreen by wrapping the containers in towels or keeping them in the shade. To keep your sunscreen in good condition, the FDA recommends that sunscreen containers should not be exposed to direct sun.

![]() Sometimes people just need to work on themselves. ![]() Fear of commitment is a real thing, and it can cause cheating, resentment, arguments and can essentially prevent a relationship from blossoming before it even begins. It’s not uncommon for commitment issues being a large part of the reason why some just aren’t ready for a relationship. Even sometimes family issues or responsibilities may be a reason for them to avoid relationships. They may like being able to casually date, hang out with friends, and not tied down by the chains a partner would provide. Something to keep in mind, many people aren’t ready to get into a serious committed relationship. This simply means they are looking to truly settle down, and they are making sure that you are ‘the one.’ 6. They don’t rush into relationships and want to establish a friendship first. Sometimes it takes someone a lot longer to feel like they truly have had the chance to get to know you. Not everyone is able to release their freedom for a serious partnership. For whatever reason, they are not ready to share their lives, time, home or agree to the sacrifices a relationship would require. They are too independentĪnother reason someone may not want to be in a relationship is that they are too independent. ![]() It doesn’t mean that later on in life they won’t settle down and want a relationship one day, but until they get to that point there is nothing more important to them than their job or business. They know they don’t have the time that a partner would deserve, and would rather make things clear before a potential partner would get their hopes up. People who are obsessed with their job and have big life ambitions usually don’t have time for a relationship, which is why they are usually super casual when they are dating. It’s hard to be in a relationship if you don’t have relationship type of feelings - and can cause resentments over time when they make an attempt to have a relationship who doesn’t share their particular views on relationships and sex. They are aromantic or asexualĪ person who does not experience romantic attraction or sexual attraction in someone else usually abstain from relationships unless they find someone like them. Most of the time if a person hasn’t taken the time to work on themselves and heal, it can lead to a pattern of abusive or toxic relationships. Abuse (in all forms), infidelity, or a toxic relationship can cause mental and emotional issues that could potentially take years to recover from. If there is one thing that can certainly make someone want to abstain from romance and relationships, it’s past trauma. It’s not uncommon for people to have emotional scars from lovers' past. And surprisingly, many people just want to be alone, and because no one lives the same life, there could be a great many reasons why. The important thing to remember is that you need to make sure what you want before doing something. People can change their minds and what they like whenever they want. ![]() So needless to say, if someone who does not want a relationship now may want one in the future.
