I hope this message finds you well and thriving in your endeavors. As a fellow Vietnamese student currently pursuing education in the United States, I can't help but feel a sense of pride and excitement about the prospect of inviting you to experience the beauty and charm of my homeland, Vietnam. Vietnam is a land of captivating landscapes, rich history, and warm hospitality. From the breathtaking Ha Long Bay with its emerald waters and limestone karsts to the vibrant city life of Ho Chi Minh City, our country offers a diverse range of experiences for every traveler. Picture yourself exploring the ancient town of Hoi An, with its lantern-lit streets and traditional architecture, or hiking through the terraced rice fields of Sapa, surrounded by lush greenery. Beyond the scenic landscapes, you will discover the heart and soul of Vietnam in its people. The kindness and friendliness of the Vietnamese people create an atmosphere of warmth that is truly unique. Whether you're savoring the delicious street food in Hanoi, engaging in conversations with locals, or witnessing the traditional water puppetry shows, you'll find yourself immersed in a culture that values community and connection. Vietnam is not just a destination; it's an experience that will leave a lasting impression on your heart. I extend this invitation to you with the hope that you'll consider making Vietnam your next travel destination. Come and discover the hidden gems, the delectable cuisine, and the genuine smiles that await you in the heart of Southeast Asia. I look forward to the day when I can share the beauty of my homeland with you in person. Until then, safe travels and may your curiosity lead you to the wonders of Vietnam.

Health Sciences/Specialized Reference
by Mahiyan Molla 23 Nov '23

23 Nov '23

Hello, I was speaking with someone today who is curious about the possibility of more specialized reference assistance in the cooperative. Does anyone have any health sciences libraries participating in cooperative virtual reference? Do you feel there's sufficient support within the cooperative for a health sciences or hospital library to join? We're just trying to get a sense of what might be out there already or if this is something others have tried. All best, Mahiyan Mahiyan Molla Reference & Research Services Coordinator Research Peptides <https://researchpeptides.net/> 423 E 7th St <https://www.google.com/maps/place/423+E+7th+St,+Los+Angeles,+CA+90014,+USA/…> Los Angeles, CA 90014 <https://www.google.com/maps/place/423+E+7th+St,+Los+Angeles,+CA+90014,+USA/…>

Help with Larch install on MacOSX 14 (Sonoma)
by Sandeep Haripuria 19 Nov '23

19 Nov '23

Hi Matt, I’m trying to install Larch on MacOSX 14 (Sonoma) using the 64 bit binary installer (new install, new laptop). It created the xraylarch folder in my home folder, and installed the python library there. However, it did not create a Larch folder on the desktop (or anywhere else I can find). I tried the command from the terminal console ($HOME/xraylarch/bin/larch -m) but get the message of no such file or directory. Not sure what to do next… Hope all is well and thanks for your help, Sandeep Haripuria [ThePlattery.Com](https://theplattery.com/)

upcoming Webinar on Synchrotron for Earth and Environmental Science
by Matt Newville 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hi Folks, For the Earth and environmental scientists on the list, there will be a webinar introducing the newly formed "Synchrotron for Earth and Environmental Science" on Tuesday, November 14th, at 3 PM Chicago time, as presented by SEES Director Andy Campbell. If you are interested in learning more, you can sign up for the Zoom link for the webinar at: https://cars.uchicago.edu/sees/2023/09/27/sees-webinar-sees-the-light/ For a little more background: SEES (Synchrotron Earth and Environmental Science) is a new cooperative agreement with NSF to manage and enhance NSF Earth Science-supported beamline operations for Earth and environmental science research at four DOE synchrotron facilities: the Advanced Photon Source (APS), the Advanced Light Source (ALS), the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL). See https://cars.uchicago.edu/sees/ for more information. SEES will support many beamlines across the US for Earth and environmental science, including a few X-ray microprobe beamlines for XAS and other spectroscopy and imaging experiments such as the one I run at the APS. This new organization will also be the source of most of my support for the foreseeable future, with a healthy fraction of that explicitly earmarked for work on cyber-infrastructure, including the XAFS-related software discussed here. Cheers, --Matt
