I miss you so much
Dear all,
I miss you so much. I think I start working on December-January, for one year. They will give me some datasets to analyse about the tourists appreciation of Venice-museums (Osservatorio civico dei musei). Meaby we get also a variable which is the mean-time in which the tourists look for a given picture, it's amazing. I'm in love with Menardo il Rosso.
In the meanwhile (waiting for December to start my job), I go to all the public conferences. Yesterday evening "Psycoanalysis conference" in the public library. I learn a lot of things, for instance, the greek term "Entelechia" it is a very marvellous word, foud out by Aristotele. In psycoanalysis it means that the person follows his own interior rules to develop himself without looking at others. Since I am in love with my city, tomorrow I will go to partecipate to some courses at the University (we have our own university in Mestre!!), one about Art History, and the other about Psycoanalysis.
So, that is my program.
I really hope all of you are fine, I really appreciated the last two years with all of you and I have to thank Monjed to all the things he teaches me about his beautiful culture.
I wish you all the best,
Marlies

ALMOST BACK TO ITALY!!!
Hey ragazzi,
is everything fine? I hope so for Monjed, who's the only one I don't really talk with if not through this blog (Monjed, skype!!!!), for the others I know it already, you're all fine (bloody Tony, he never dies!!!).
I'm also fine, and preparing myself to come back to Italy. I still have two weeks here; next friday there's going to be my goodbye party, then I'll spend the last weekend (23rd-24th) in Germany with my friends and on the monday morning (25th) I'll take my super Focus and drive back to Padova.
This was just for you to know my plans; I know I'll find only Bustra and Monjed in the office, Riccardo is leaving the week before (maledetto, you could have waited for the last spritz together!), luckily Tony is still in the middle of nowhere, Maestro I'm looking forward to see you (December, right?), and Marlies we see each other very soon!
Ah, yesterday I bought the helmet and the jacket for the motorbike, now I only need to buy the motorbike itself... and then all the parking spots at the depatment will be Bustra's and mine!!!!
Ciao semi (tranne la Marlies)!!!
Checca

Marlies ????????????
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."
