Ya'lla: shake ya body like a belly dancer!

Ya'lla (Let's go), Penn Middle Eastern Dance Troupe, performed in Houston Hall tonight. Although they are undergraduate and graduate students at Penn, their dance is amazing, especially the solo dancer, Hayet (Lesley Hickman), who received NEUROSCIENCE PHD from PENN! Hayet dances just like a professional, and she can dance many styles of belly dance. Her cane dance with another girl was also very entertaining. There were often clapping and cheers from the audience, with the rhythm of
the middle east music, which was exotic and sensually tasteful.

Be an INTJ

my personality is identified as INTJ in a online Jung Typology Test, while there are 16 different psychological types defined by Dr. Jung. the characteristics of INTJ are:

very expressed introvert (I)
distinctively expressed intuitive (N)
slightly expressed thinking (T)
moderately expressed judging (J)

Brief description: For INTJs the dominant force in their lives is their attention to the inner world of possibilities, symbols, abstractions, images, and thoughts. Insight in conjunction with logical analysis is the essence of their approach to the world; they think systemically. Ideas are the substance of life for INTJs and they have a driving need to understand, to know, and to demonstrate competence in their areas of interest. INTJs inherently trust their insights, and with their task-orientation will work intensely to make their visions into realities.

it is interesting that i agree much of its analysic of my personality, including weakness and strength.

to know your type, do the test:

A musical night with Brendel and Rattle

Mozart: Piano concerto No.27 in B-flat major, K.595

Brendel is my favourit pianist who interprete Beethoven the best. Although I am not very much into Mozart, I expected to see this living legendery musician and his collaboration with popular conductor Simon Rattle. A little bit slow, Brendel played accurately and elegantly, in contrast to the passionate performance of some younger pianists.

MEDICAL IMAGING

[NOTE]
The New England Journal of Medicine selected medical imaging as one of the 11 most important innovations of the past 1,000 years. Dramatic advances in medical imaging technologies have allowed physicians to detect, diagnose, and treat diseases earlier and more accurately, often reducing costs. Medical imaging is extending human vision into the very nature of disease, enabling a new and more powerful generation of diagnosis and intervention.
