Dear Friends !!!
we should not agree about what Marlies is just decided !!!!
Please I ask everyone of you to speak with her.
Ph.D is very important, one year and she will finish.
We all succeed the first year which was very difficult.
Please tell her to be more patient.
Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!

After all this pessimism and sadness...
...something nice: United States of America National Parks!
Last week I finished the first part of the thesis and written in a paper form I've submitted it to JASA T&M. Right moment to take a short break!
Taking a camping tent, two sleepingbags and one cheap flight to Las Vegas and renting a small car there can bring you to some of the most wonderful landscape in the world! We all know that Europe is better that USA for almost everything: art, culture, history, people, food, wine, way of living the city... but we don't have something so spectacular as Bryce Canyon, Arches park or the famous Grand Canyon!
It's wonderful to imagine that millenia of geology, plate tectonic and erosion, everything moved by natural mechanisms and a big amount of randomness, can lead to spectacular landscape like those!
Really recommended to Maestro (you are so close to Utah and Arizona!) and Riccardo but actually to everyone!

And also this is Don Milani
this is what i call a Professor, a man who join and cares about his students, their lives their sorrows. You are my friends, please if a day you will have the opportunity to become a teacher, remember that the teacher has most of all an ethical responsability, s/he has to believe in the capacity of the students and MUST not lye to them.
One day I will make explicit all this stuff

Lucièn Le Cam: an honest man
He spent his life studying likelihood asymptotics, but read what he wrote in the first pages of his book:
Of course nobody has been able to prove that maximum likelihood estimates are
‘‘best’’ under all circumstances. The lack of any such proof is not sufficient by itself
to invalidate Fisher’s claims.
This is a man to respect because his view is not biased.

And I come to this point..
In which I recognize that Hardy (the Hardy Weinberg model, teacher of mathematics at Cambridge) inspired all my Phd thesis, because he was used to say to his students that
"mathematics is beautiful precisely because it is useless"
so, my Phd thesis is the most beautiful work I ever see.

North Face
I don't know if Riccardo knows it, but North Face is from Berkeley, and here it much cheaper than in Italy... So I will come back dressed like Riccardo... :)
"The North Face legend begins, ironically, on a beach. More precisely, San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, at an altitude of only 150 feet above sea level. It was here in 1966 that two hiking enthusiasts resolved to follow their passions and founded a small mountaineering retail store.

In 1968, The North Face moved to the other side of San Francisco Bay, to the unbridled possibilities of the Berkeley area, and began designing and manufacturing its own brand of technical mountaineering apparel and equipment."
to become rich
you can win a nobel prize if you are able to prove that there are usually two numbers between two prime numbers...
cioè due numeri in mezzo a due numeri primi: Ex: 17 () () 19 () () 21 () () 23
this problem devasteted the life of a lot of mathematicians..so wonderful!!

Negativity
In my opinion there is too much pessimism all-around: in this week, when you leave me alone, I've been adopted by post-doc, who describe a gloomy future; Marlies came one times, saying that we both will feel bad in our visiting period; I spoke with a third year PhD student and he said he is in a bad situation... is there any favourable person in this f***ing Department?
If you really don't want to follow the optimism of your Presidente del Consiglio, at least think to Coles' words: "statistics is beautiful => life is beautiful!!!"
