From Jay:

Pre meeting before seeing another NGO (swift laundry). The workers were rescued from the sex trade

Then lunch somewhere in Goa.  This was the best meal of the entire trip for me.

We visited another NGO.  Then a trip to a Tibetan market.

Finished the day at a night club situated at the top of a large hill requiring a two-minute drive in an open jeep to the top.

Pool side at the club.  This concluded the longest day of the trip. I was up at 6am, then I finally crawled into bed at 4am.

From Jay:

Getting There:paris

We had some excitement at the CVG airport when one of the students arrived at checking with only 30 seconds to spare . I pleaded at the gate to hold off she will be here . I explained how important making the plane was for her. I think I bought her some time.  Then in Paris airport one student did not have her second boarding pass.  Everyone was already through security except her and I so we wandered around the airport looking for the ticket agents.  Found it and got back to the group about half hour later. Pictured here is us at the Paris airport.

We went to a traditional outside market place in Delhi.  Other picture is lobby of hotel room the royal plaza.

Web of Knowledge Now Web of Science

The Web of KWOSnowledge has a new name and a new design.  The Web of Science continues to have all the same features and functions as in earlier versions of the product, but has been streamlined for faster and easier use.

A few of the new features are:

  • More “Sort” options (A-Z or Z-A by first author, source title, conference title, relevance, times cited and more)
  • A direct link to the journal’s impact factor in the Full Record view
  • A list of how many times an article has been cited and in what Web of Science databases in the Full Record view

Another change is that the UC Article Linker button is only visible after you click on “Full Text”.

See a quick tour of the new design here: http://youtu.be/Ulfu0njSZN0
