Francisco, Moon of Uranus

Francisco is a Moon that orbits round the planet Uranus. Its orbit circumference, the total distance it travels round its planetary parent is 26,791,931.29 km. The furthest it gets from its orbital parent (apoasis) is 4,849,956 km. Its mass is estimated/calculated at being 8,392,543,225,344,280 kg. Its density has been calculated at being 1.5 g/cm3. Its volume is 5,575 km3.

Francisco was discovered on 13 August 2001 by John J. Kavalaars, Matthew J. Holman, Dan Milisavljevic, and Tommy Grav.. Its orbital period, i.e. the period it takes to complete an orbit round Uranus is 267.09 days. The figure is also known as the sidereel period. The figure comes from N.A.S.A..

The Semi-Major Axis of the orbit is 4,282,900 km, which is the furthest point from the centre to the edge of an elliptical point.

The mass of the object is calculated at being 8,392,543,225,344,280 kg. The equatorial circumference of Francisco is 69.1 km. The mean radius of Francisco is 11 (assuming an albedo of 0.04) km. The surface area of Francisco is 1,520.53 km2. The surface gravity of the said item is 0.005 m/s2. The average orbit velocity, that is the speed at which it orbits is 4,179.6 km/h.

The orbital inclination, the angle at which Francisco orbits in relation to the orbital plane is 147.25 degrees. The orbital eccentricity is 0.1324, it is the degree at which Francisco orbits close to a circular (0) orbit as opposed to an elliptical (1) orbit.

Animals Taiwan Board of Director Faye Angevine injured by animal trap, calls press conference. Please read attached news report.

Gov't should enforce the law banning animal traps: dog lover
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The government must enforce an existing law banning animal traps as the devices are still continuing to injure animals and people, said a dog lover yesterday.
Faye Angevine, an American animal rights activist, said she and five of her dogs had fallen victim to illegal animal traps. video: http://udn.com/NEWS/SOCIETY/SOC7/5512882.shtml

She said her fifth dog was injured March 7, and she herself was hurt last Friday, both in Taipei's Yangmingshan area.

“I'm really angry,” she told the China Post.

Poachers usually set up illegal animal traps in the mountains, including Yangmingshan, to catch wild boars.

Between July 2008 and July 2009, 141 cases of illegal animal traps were reported in Taipei, of which 98 resulted in trapped animals being amputated, according to figures from Animals Taiwan, a group devoted to caring injured stray dogs and cats.

“This is a dangerous situation since the traps could hurt not only animals but also humans,” said Angevine, who has lived in Taiwan for 35 years and currently keeps 18 stray dogs.

Two of her dogs had to have amputations after being caught in such traps.

Angevine, who held a press conference Thursday to call attention to the issue, suspects the actual number of animal traps is more than the one in the official statistics.

She said she could not understand the current purpose of setting the traps now that boars are rarely spotted.

She urged police to enforce the law by running more patrols to stop violators and remove the traps as soon as they are found.

Violators could be fined NT$15,000 to NT$75,000, according to the amendment to the Animal Protection Act.

As a democracy, the government should pay more attention to animal welfare as part of efforts to become a developed country, as animals are just as important as human beings, Angevine continued

Home / International News / Russian Su-27 jet safely intercepts US spy plane over Black Sea

(Muslim Times web desk)  A Russian Su-27 jet has intercepted a US Lockheed EP-3 surveillance plane over the Black Sea.The entire flight of the Su-27 was conducted in accordance with international regulations, and there were no emergency situations,” said the Russian Ministry of Defense in a statement released on Monday. Tidhe incent occurred on Monday, while Moscow scrambled the Su-27 in response to unidentified flying object which was headed for the Russian border.

After identifying the US plane as a ЕР-3Е Aries II, the Su-27 then proceeded to escort it away from Russian airspace “at a safe distance.”

US claims intercept was ‘unsafe’

Following the incident the US State Department claimed that the intercept had been “unsafe” as the Russian plane had come within a distance of 1.5 meters of the American plane.

“This is but the latest example of Russian military activities disregarding international norms and agreements,” the statement said, calling on Russia “to cease these unsafe actions.”

The US navy also claimed that the Russian plane’s maneuvers had not been safe.

“This interaction was determined to be unsafe due to the Su-27 closing to within five feet [1.5 meters] and crossing directly through the EP-3’s flight path, causing the EP-3 to fly through the Su-27’s jet wash,” it said.

The Texan's Wager - Jodi Thomas Three spunky women get kicked off a wagon train and are attacked by a man who they think they've killed and confess to the murder. They are held by the Sheriff until they agree to enter the local town's Wife Lottery. If the three women agree to the name they pick, the man will pay the fine become their husband. In The Texan's Wager, Bailee Moore picks a strong, silent farmer who could be the key to leaving her troubled past behind.

I really enjoyed reading this book, although I'm not sure I will read the rest of the series as I'm not a big historical romance fan, it was brilliantly written. I loved all the characters, and how quirky Carter was in general and how protective he became of Bailee through the course of the book. This has got to be one of my all time favourite historical romance books I don't really like them that often. I just can't give this book the review I want it to. It was fabulous and I would really recommend it to anyone and everyone!


About Canine Cough
Canine Cough is a contagious airborne disease that is passed from dog to dog, much like the common cold in humans. Canine cough spreads easily and quickly between dogs through social contact and interaction, the air, shared water bowls and common toys and other shared objects. While puppies, young adult dogs, and dogs with suppressed immune systems are more vulnerable, any dog can contract canine cough if it comes in contact with another dog that has been exposed…although not all dogs will. Some dogs may show signs of the illness, some may carry it silently yet otherwise seem unaffected, and others may never be affected due to their body’s successful immune system response. Just like the common cold, some adults and children seem to get colds frequently while others seem to avoid most common colds altogether despite repeated exposure.

Most cases of canine cough are not serious, and will run their course on their own within two to three weeks. However, in some cases, dogs can develop life-threatening complications. Therefore, it is wise to take precautions to reduce the risk for your pet and seek the advice of your veterinarian.

Vaccinating Against Canine Cough
You can reduce the risk of canine cough by vaccinating your dog with the Bordatella vaccination.
There are two options for canine cough vaccination: injectable and intranasal. Your veterinarian will likely recommend one or the other based on experience or preference. We recommend discussing both options with your veterinarian to determine which is best for your dog. While the vaccination can increase immunization relatively quickly, we recommend getting the vaccination 2 weeks prior to your dogs stay at The Grand Paw to maximize immunity.

Most veterinarians recommend administering the Bordatella vaccination twice a year (every 6 months) if your dog will be exposed to other dogs. Since puppies are more susceptible, they are often given a second booster vaccination approximately 30 days after the first vaccination. If your veterinarian recommends less frequently, it’s important to let them know that at The Grand Paw, your dog will be in a free-play, social environment and exposed to a variety of dogs from different geographies.

When it comes to the Bordatella vaccination, however, it’s very important to understand that canine cough is a multifaceted bacterial and viral disease. While the vaccination protects against some of the strains of canine cough, it does not protect against them all. Like the flu shot in humans, it reduces the risk of illnesses from more common strains but does not protect against all possible variations. Furthermore, the Bordatella vaccination has been known to cause canine cough-like symptoms in some dogs…again, just like the flu shot in humans causes flu-like symptoms for some people.

Symptoms and Treatment
Canine cough is typically characterized by a harsh, hacking cough which most people describe as sounding as if something is stuck in the dog’s throat. It’s analogous to a chest cold for humans and is only a serious condition in special circumstances. In most cases, canine cough resolves on its own and is self-limiting. While there is no specific diagnostic test, if you suspect canine cough, your veterinarian will likely prescribe an antibiotic and/or cough suppressant to support your dog’s healthy recovery. (In rare cases, canine cough can lead to more serious secondary infections, such as pneumonia, especially in puppies, older dogs or dogs with weakened immune systems, so it is important to seek the advice of your veterinarian.) Canine cough typically runs its course in 2 to 3 weeks. If you dog does contract canine cough, the exposure and immune system response may reduce the likelihood of your dog contracting it again in the future.

Being Informed & Understanding the Risks
Since the Bordatella vaccination cannot protect against all strains of canine cough, it’s important to remember that your dog is never fully protected. There is always some risk in contracting the illnesses if your dog is exposed to other dogs throughout its life, whether it be in a training class, veterinary office, boarding facility, grooming salon, community park, or just walking in the neighborhood

At The Grand Paw, we remain vigilant in ensuring dogs are properly vaccinated, watching for and isolating any dogs which may be showing signs of canine cough, keeping our air filtration systems properly maintained, and disinfecting our facilities on a daily basis. Despite all of these precautions, however, the airborne nature of canine cough makes it impossible for The Grand Paw to prevent transmission of the disease in our free-play environment where dogs are frequently touching noses, sharing water dishes, playing with common toys and sitting together on the laps of our caring staff.

If you choose to bring your dog to The Grand Paw, it’s important to understand that canine cough is always a risk. Just as you can’t completely protect your children or yourself from getting the common cold, there’s always a chance that your dog will get one too when it has the opportunity to play and have fun with a group of canine pals. As social animals, we must all accept the risks along with the rewards.

You can help reduce the risks of canine cough by ensuring your dog is properly vaccinated (Bordatella vaccination every 6 months), keeping your dog at home if you notice a cough, and consulting with your veterinarian on this and other canine communicable illnesses.

Summary and comment, Marge Berer, Reproductive Health Matters

In the worst way possible, a woman refused a life-saving abortion in Ireland has proved ‘pro-life’ advocates wrong

Jill Filipovic for Feministe, part of the Guardian Comment Network

guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 14 November 2012 10.19 GMT

Then she died.

US politicians and “pro-life” advocates like Joe Walsh will tell you that there are no circumstances under which women need abortions to avoid death or injury. The Republican platform doesn’t include an exception for medically necessary abortion. And the Republican party is trying to put laws similar to those in Ireland on the books in the United States – laws that would allow emergency room doctors to refuse to perform abortions, even in cases where the pregnant woman’s life or health depends on terminating the pregnancy. The GOP isn’t exactly the most science-friendly or fact-reliant crowd in the world, but to them, women like Savita either don’t exist or just don’t matter. As Jodie at RH Reality Check writes:

They are all Savita Halappanavar.

We are all Savita Halappanavar.

In honour of Savita Halappanavar; in honour of the nearly 22 million women worldwide each year who endure unsafe abortion; in honour of the 47,000 women per year worldwide who die from complications of unsafe abortion and the estimated 10 times that number who suffer long-term health consequences; in honour of the millions of women who do not have access to contraception, who have no control over whether and with whom they have sex or whether or with whom they have children, we can fight back. In honour of the young girls married young and the women forced to bear children long past the point they are able to care for more … for all these women, we must continue to act, to liberalise abortion laws, ensure every woman has access, remove the stigma, and trust women, like Savita, who know when it is time to end even the most wanted pregnancy.”

Just two months ago, a consortium of Irish doctors got together to declare abortion medically unnecessary. They claimed that abortion is never needed to save a pregnant woman’s life, and stated: “We confirm that the prohibition of abortion does not affect, in any way, the availability of optimal care to pregnant women.”

I’m pretty sure Savita Halappanavar would disagree. I’m pretty sure she didn’t get optimal care.

Ann Furedi, chief executive of BPAS, reviews Sara Dubow’s book Ourselves Unborn: A History of the Fetus in Modern America.

Ourselves Unborn: A History of the Fetus in Modern America
Sara Dubow, Oxford University Press, 2011, 320 pp.

Recent discussions about the permissibility of later abortions have raised interesting questions about how we regard the fetus. How much value do we accord to life that has been conceived but not born? Has the way we assess this changed? Does our expanding knowledge of the science of fetal development mean that it should?

For decades, opponents of abortion have called on us to “confront the reality of abortion,” asking us to admit that the embryo is “human and alive” and that abortion “stops a beating heart.” They have accused the prochoice movement of devaluing the fetus, of denying that it is different than any other “blob of tissue” or of likening it to an unwanted growth, a “cancer” or a “parasite.” Their assumption, on the level of rhetoric or conviction, has been that prochoice politics is built on ignorance of what the fetus truly is. Today their challenge to us is this: as modern science tells us more about human development, as 4D scans show us the true face of the fetus, how can we allow its ending through late-term abortion?

Indirectly, implicitly, this book addresses that question.

Ourselves Unborn: A History of the Fetus in Modern America is not an argument about abortion, nor a vehicle for the beliefs of the prochoice movement. Sara Dubow, a historian at Williams College in Massachusetts, has written a detailed and scholarly study of the way value has been attributed to fetal life over the last century. “A fetus in 1870 is not the same as a fetus in 1930, which is not the same as a fetus in 1970, which is not the same as a fetus in 2010,” Dubow says. The change, she explains, is not driven by knowledge about the fetus, but by the emotional and political investment people have in it. Through their approach to the status, development and significance of the fetus, “people— individually and collectively—expressed their assumptions about personhood, family, motherhood and national identity.” How we understand and relate to the fetus is driven by social values and political circumstances far more than by biology or theology.

The book dismisses the idea that the advances in our knowledge about the developing fetus should shape our attitude to fetal status in respect to abortion. It shows that the fascination with fetal feeling, experience and appearance, which seems newly stimulated by today’s scientific discovery, has been a part of the medical, cultural, social and political discourse for more than a century. The form that this discussion takes and the conclusions that are drawn from it have been driven by cultural values and not by accumulated knowledge or new discovery. Throughout modernity, support for women’s choice about the future of her pregnancy was never built on ignorance of fetal life. Instead, it was based on the understanding of the fetus partnered with the concept of what pregnancy, giving birth and raising a child means for a woman.

Today’s commentators assume that, regarding fetal life, our trajectory has been to accumulate evidence that there is little difference between the unborn and the born. Dubow’s first chapter demonstrates how untrue this is. The progression of scientific thinking in relation to the fetus, from Aristotle until the mid-nineteenth century, was not so much a journey to discover how alike babies and fetuses are, bringing us closer to a view that the fetus is deserving of more respect. Rather, she illustrates that the voyage has been one to discover the differences between embryo, fetus and baby. A famous late-fifteenth century drawing by Leonardo da Vinci is generally regarded as the first accurate presentation of the fetus in utero (in “fetal position” ). While feminists have criticized the accuracy of da Vinci’s representation of the uterine context (which appears opened like a Fabergé egg), there can be little criticism of his rendering of the fetus. It is astonishingly similar to the photographs we see today in modern scans and medical textbooks—we are touched by how much it looks like a born “baby.” But in 1487, many would have been surprised by how un-like a man it was. Before then, the fetus was typically illustrated by various kinds of imagined homunculi—little humans—or cherubic infants. (A rich collection of illustrations is included in Karen Newman’s essay, Fetal Positions: Individualism, Science and Visuality, published in 1996 as part of Stanford University Press’s “Writing Science” series.)

Twenty-first century science’s knowledge of the fetus has not exposed the reality of fetal life, nor has it made public support for later abortions untenable. As Dubow reminds us, the Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson first started to gain recognition for his photographic images of the fetus in the early 1950s.

Nilsson’s iconic series of fetal photographs, which first appeared in the 1965 Life magazine article “The Drama of Life before Birth,” have become the classical reference for feminist discussion of fetal imagery. They employ all manner of deliberate technical presentation and descriptive techniques to evoke “fetal personhood.” And yet, despite the photographer’s intent to dramatize life before birth, just two years later in Britain, and nine years later in the US, abortion was legalized.

In truth, the public has been exposed to, and fascinated by, accurate representations of the fetus for well over a century. Dubow cites the displays of anatomically correct wax models of human embryos, the centerpiece of an 1893 Chicago exposition that attracted crowds of visitors. Forty years later, the fetus was still a public draw, motivating exhibitors to go further to meet the audience for realistic representation. In 1933, some 20 million visitors paid 10 cents each to see a “graduated set of human embryos and fetuses” preserved in formaldehyde “to illustrate the development of an unborn baby from the first month to the eighth.” At this time they were seen as scientific curiosities—educational specimens. Times change, however, and Dubow recounts that, when a similar exhibition was mounted in 1977, the organizer was arrested and charged with the illegal transportation of human remains. Dubow discusses in some detail the changes that had occurred in the intervening decades—how the preserved fetus had turned from a scientific specimen to an emblem of the American family. My point is more straightforward: for more than a century people have known that in later pregnancy fetuses look like babies, and yet they have continued to make legal, moral and public policy decisions related to abortion regardless.

Just as there has been a long-standing interest in what the fetus looks like, so there has been similar interest in what fetuses feel and know. Dubow writes of research at the Samuel S. Fels Research Institute for the Study of Prenatal and Postnatal Environment in the late 1940s, which attempted to address social, psychological and physiological aspects of fetal behavior. She documents studies of “prenatal life” reported in the popular press of the time, such as a magazine article suggesting the new questions being researched: “What happens to a baby before he is born? Is he sometimes uncomfortable? Does he feel motions? Can he hear? Can he think? Is he capable of learning?” Dubow suggests that “prenatal psychology” got a stamp of approval as early as the 1940s, though without any implication of a protected status or fetal life.

The controversies regarding second trimester abortion in the 1970s illustrate most clearly how politics and advocacy are not framed by scientific or medical perception—it is politics that drives perception.

On April 11, 1974, Boston City Hospital physician Kenneth Edelin was indicted for manslaughter following a second trimester abortion. Although the Supreme Court Decision in Roe v. Wade had provided a relatively liberal framework for abortion, this case was complicated by tensions around race, class, ethnicity and concerns about the unchecked authority of doctors and scientists. In a hysterical environment excited by allegations that elective abortions were producing a supply of fetuses for research purposes, some of which were supposedly “kept alive” for experiments, Edelin was accused of causing the death of a fetus. He was said to have deprived a 24-week-old fetus of air after he had carried out an abortion by hysterotomy— by making an incision in the uterus. Edelin denied he had asphyxiated the fetus after delivery, but he was unashamed about his actions as an abortion doctor, which were not intended to result in a live birth. Under cross-examination he confirmed his belief that he owed no duty to the fetus. He was not concerned whether the fetus was live or dead at the start of the procedure since his only concern was for “the mother,” and even if he had thought that the fetus was alive after delivery he would not have called a pediatrician because “this being an abortion before viability,” he thought that an attending pediatrician would have been “number one, contrary to the patient’s wishes, and number two, contrary to good medical practice.”

Edelin was convicted following a sham of a trial, which Dubow describes in detail. The account is fascinating, but even more astonishing were the media reports, which gave unequivocal backing to the abortion doctor. The Boston Globe described Edelin as “a victim of judicial inadequacy that no society should tolerate.” The Washington Post wrote that the Edelin conviction brought “‘disgrace and shame’ to the State of Massachusetts and the entire judicial system … and warned that the impact of the decision ‘on the practice of medicine and on medical research in Boston, and elsewhere, is likely to be enormous.’” The New York Times called the decision “unbelievable” and feared that “it will now become more difficult than ever for women to obtain abortions when they are in the second trimester after conception.”

The case caused the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) to issue a statement reaffirming their support for “unhindered access by women to abortion services,” and warned that the profession, “must guard against local jurisdictions or vocal minorities imposing their ethical positions for medical care on family planning and abortion on patients and doctors who do not hold those positions.” The Planned Parenthood Federation of America worried that the decision “will make doctors fearful of performing abortions.” The National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) was concerned about the affect on “women with no financial means or alternative options.”

Edelin’s conviction carried with it a maximum sentence of 20 years, but he was sentenced to one year of probation, suspended until the anticipated appeal. In 1976, a unanimous ruling by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts overturned the conviction.

We can ask—if Edelin were to come to trial today, what chance would there be that the media, ACOG, Planned Parenthood and abortion lobbyists like NARAL would stand together in unequivocal, unapologetic support for a second trimester abortion doctor found guilty of manslaughter?

Sadly, I think we have to concede that many would say—even if convinced of the righteousness of the doctor’s actions—that public support would be unwinnable. Today, late abortion is something even some who call themselves “prochoice” will no longer defend. Their retreat is not because they have learned more about the fetus, but because they have failed to learn what they should about women’s lives.

Dubow’s work shows that, from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century, “the fetus has been a vehicle through which people have wrestled with assumptions about science and religion, anxieties about demography and democracy, beliefs about feminism and motherhood, and ideas about conservativism and liberalism.” This will be as true for the future as it has been for the past. Ourselves Unborn: A History of the Fetus in Modern America tells a story beginning a century ago, when the fetus was framed in a historical context during which, “embryology became a science, obstetrics became a profession, abortion became a crime, birth control became a movement, eugenics became a cause and prenatal care became a policy.” The challenge we face today is to understand the context in which our appreciation of the fetus is currently framed, and our task is to shape that context and not passively accept it.

In 1996, Edelin, who went on to become a chairman of Planned Parenthood, addressed the matter of whether the loss of a fetus in abortion was always a tragedy. He wrote: “Many women choose abortion because of the tragedies in their lives and in the circumstances surrounding their pregnancies. For these women, abortion is not a tragedy; instead it liberates them from tragic circumstances. Women must never be left out of the abortion debate, or the debate about fetal research, medical progress or moral politics.” He was right. Dubow provides the evidence: it is not fetal science that teaches us what we know to be right. Instead, through the years we interpret and understand that science in the context of what appears right from our own and society’s perspective.

Author Topic: FORUM RULES  (Read 5558 times)

This is - especially for a site's forum of this size and visitation - a surprisingly polite place. However, we must - as a community - continue to keep to that standard, ensuring the new members who join every day fit into the forum netiquette by nature of its established tone.

We're finally into the major site development period behind the scenes, including the new forum (it'll still feel the same, but it'll have vastly updated software, appearance and functionality on the same model) - so let's make sure we have a forum rules one pager to have a point of reference for anyone who needs it.

Rule 1: Be civil. Respect other members. Treat other members as you would in real life face to face. An anonymous name on the internet does not give you the right to turn into a troll. Trolls will be removed from the forum.

Rule 2: Stay on topic. We have some long, specific threads here. They need to adhere to the thread title. Interesting side topics should be given their own thread - so by all means start splinter threads, and link in both threads to allow others to follow.

Rule 3: No "King of the Internet" attitudes. It can happen to anyone, especially someone who is well-versed in a particular subject matter. Under that guidance, remember you probably don't know who you're conversing with. It could be a nine year old kid who just got his first model rocket and about to become a space flight fan, or it could be Charlie Bolden....OK, maybe not the latter, but you need to show caution when responding to someone, especially if you're correcting them.

Rule 4: Copyright. Do not post the entire text of another site's article. Link and use the headline abstract only.

Rule 5: Not a biggy, but it is recommended you "attach" images via the option in your post. Embedding images should only be be done if the image is sized correctly, under the width of the post. Attaching automatically ensures this, so please always opt for that method when you can.

Any breaches of the above, hit the report to moderator option on the bottom of the offending post. Do not respond to such a post. Do not post "Oh, that's a bad post" - leave it to the moderators.

That's pretty much it unless I think of something else - which I'll edit into the thread at a later date.

In a perfect world, the internet would not require any moderation. However, we've seen how forums that have weak or no moderation always turn into a mess before dying. We won't allow that here.

If you are moderated, it's nothing personal, it's housekeeping and required.

Nedarim 54a-b: What Counts as Meat for a Vow?

Our Gemara quotes a baraita which teaches that, aside from fish and locusts (which are kosher), all other meat would be included in the vow. This means poultry as well as parts of the animal that ordinarily are not eaten. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel argues that only ordinary meat would be included in the neder. According to this ruling, not only would the flesh of poultry, fish and locusts be permitted, but the innards of the animal (e.g. its liver, heart, etc.) would also be excluded from the prohibition that the person accepted on himself. The baraita concludes with the enigmatic statement made by Rabban Gamliel that kravayim (innards) are not meat, and those who eat them are not humans.

The baraita continues with an even more difficult statement made by Rabban Gamliel:

“Those who eat them [kravayim], like meat; regarding purchase, they are not human.”


The Austin Focus, Inc. Team on Athletes’ Winning Strategies

When it comes to winning and losing, no one understands perseverance better than athletes. For that reason, The Austin Focus, Inc. team has been studying the advice imparted by those who are engrained with a winning mindset. Here are some of our favorite winning strategies from athletes:

Don’t Let Others Say You Lack Talent

There are many sports icons who could easily have been dissuaded from continuing to play, but instead decided not to listen to their critics and continued to train hard and learn. Not everyone is born with natural talent, but many people have the will and desire to be the best and keep working at improving their skills, even after they’ve surpassed all others. If you know what you want, ignore the naysayers and continue to work hard.

Know Your Optimal Push

Athletes know just how far to push themselves without injuring themselves in the process. This is called the optimal push. In business, you have to determine how far you can stretch your skills so that you’re learning and growing, but not setting yourself up for failure. Once you’ve reached a level in which you’re comfortable, it’s time to push for the next.

Always Reflect on What You’ve Learned

Post-mortems are an after-game ritual. Create your own by taking time at the end of the day to consider what you’ve done right, what you can improve on tomorrow, and what else you can do to reach your goals.

Just like athletes, if you achieve a winning mindset, you can accomplish great things in whatever you do.

Rice is the primary source of dietary energy for half of the World population, and 90% of them are present in developing countries in Asia. We have sequenced three local rice varieties Chenga, Tulai-panji, Kalonunia and compared with Oryza sativa cv. Nipponbare, Oryza sativa cv. 93-11 and Oryza sativa cv.Kasalath. 30X paired end 2 X 100 bp reads were generated for each of the 3 samples on Illumina HiSeq 4000, next generation sequencing platform. The raw data was subjected to pre-processing and aligned with reference genomes individually. The SNPs/INDELs were identified for each of the 3 local rice varieties with the each reference genome. A total of 0.15, 0.34 and 0.57 million SNPs and 10863, 11435 and 21841 INDELs were identified in Chenga, compared to Oryza sativa cv. Nipponbare, Oryza sativa cv. 93-11 and Oryza sativa cv.Kasalath, respectively. In Tulai-panji, 0.23, 0.76 and 0.71 SNPs as well as 12854, 18987 and 22901 INDELs were identified when compared to MSU7, 93-11 and Kasalath assemblies respectively. Analysis of Kalonunia data revealed 0.24, 0.58 and 0.54 SNPs and 10775, 14281 and 16657 INDELs against 3 reference genomes as above. We investigated for homozygous polymorphic markers between Chenga (Non aromatic) and Tulai-panji (Aromatic), and found 38,471 SNPs at read depth of 10. Similarly, comparative analysis between Chenga (Non aromatic) and Kalonunia (Aromatic) 130,376 homozygous polymorphic markers which can be explored for mapping novel alleles associated with aroma.


Grasping and Impermanence

spacer-25When I was a kid, I noticed how 'old' folks would reminisce about the generations of dogs they'd had.  I had never gone through the death of a pet until later, when our first dog passed on.

Now I'm one of those geezers who has had numerous pets arrive and pass away.  Our current pup is a lively, expressive critter who startles at the slightest noise.  Recently, though, when I look at her I've been able to imagine her old and infirm, her inevitable destiny.

The realization doesn't make me sad.  I think I have enough wisdom to remember that she's bound to get old, sick and die.

Rather, the realization somehow opens my heart.  I more deeply appreciate her liveliness and kookie nature.

This is part of the theme of this week's talk, exploring the dance of grasping and impermanence.
  The blurb:

You can then entertain the possibility of what life would be like in the unfolding moment in the absence of attraction and it's opposite - aversion.  This talk includes numerous short meditation.

Ranking Top 10 Point Guards in NBA History

#5 Jason Kidd

Aside from Magic Johnson and perhaps LeBron James, nobody controlled the tempo of a game better than Kidd, who was a triple-double machine and had an incredibly high basketball IQ. He was special in the open floor and seemed to always make wise decisions. Kidd led the league in assists in five out of six seasons during the pinnacle of his career, and the No. 2 overall pick in the 1994 draft guided the Nets to back-to-back NBA Finals in the early 2000s. He won a title with the Mavs in 2011 and was named an All-Star 10 times throughout his career. He is second all-time in assists behind John Stockton.


Kazakhstan: Russian Progress supply ship launched to ISS by ultra-short scheme for 1st time

Russian Progress MS-09 resupply cargo spacecraft was launched into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on Monday. Loaded with almost three tons of supplies and equipment, it is expected to reach the International Space Station (ISS) in less than 4 hours, a record time for this kind of flight. This will be the third attempt at launching a spacecraft using the short two-revolution scheme, with... Еще the first two lift-offs being cancelled by the automatic system of the Baikonur launch pad.

Perfecting Your Swim Stroke For Efficiency & Economy

Once the catch phase has been initiated, you’re looking to get to a position of early vertical forearm, or EVF. This ensures that your athlete is pushing/moving as much water as possible during the pull phase without the dreaded "dropped elbow". If you don't know what I mean by that - contact me!

By moving to this EVF position, we can ensure that we are engaging the larger muscle groups (bicep, tricep, and latissimus dorsi) and not putting too much stress on the shoulder itself. A straight arm pull puts a large amount of stress on the shoulder and can increase the chance of overuse injury.

How do we work on a quick catch and an early vertical forearm stroke? Through overcorrection of form via drills and mechanics work. There are a number of drills that can be employed to work on the pull phase of the stroke, but below are some of my favorites that I’ve had great success with. They’re simple, effective and can be incorporated into any warm up set of a swim workout.

  • High Elbow Drill
  • Fist Swim
  • Dog Paddle

I could go into lots of detail of how these drills work, look, and should be implemented. However, those are lengthy explanations. So, if you're not familiar with these drills you can do some quick searches online. Or better yet, just contact me. I'll be happy to take a little time to explain how these work.

It’s important to note that drills are about over correction, and exaggerated movements. In some cases, we place the body in a very inefficient position in the water to focus on a very specific movement. This can cause high fatigue rates. You need to ensure that, when doing drill-based sets, you get enough rest to complete the drills with good form. I usually don’t start anyone out with more than 25 yards at a time, and only move to 50 yard efforts for some very specific drills.

Swimming is a tricky, complicated, discipline. It's hard to master, and sometimes hard to teach and instruct. I get a huge amount of pleasure from working with athletes and coaches alike on this topic. Please do reach out with questions.

What is the .RH File Extension?

.RH File Extension Description:

The file extension RH is used by the C++ programming language for its resource header file.

C++ is a programming language that uses a compiler in creating machine codes. It supports both object-oriented and data programming. The language is also used for procedural programming and data abstraction. It combines the features of both high and low level languages. C++ is recognized as a low level language in the sense that it functions faster than higher level languages because the instructions are directly linked to the hardware. It also contains characteristics of the high level language because of its portability. Programs written in C++ can function on different machines with minimal modifications.

C++ uses header files in the form of a source code. Header files are attached to source files by a compiler. A compiler is a program that is used to translate a source code from a higher level of programming language to a lower level programming language. Header files are usually added at the beginning of the other source file. It contains subroutines, variables and identifiers, which are the components of C++.

The program C++ for its resource header file uses the file extension RH. It acts as a resource file for the source code it is attached to. The file extension RH is attached to the file containing the source code. Files with the .rh file extension contain descriptions that allow the program to read and recognize the source code file. The file extension RH keeps the set of files in the source to be later converted into a computer executable data.

Another application that uses the file extension RH is Deep Exploration Repository File. Files with the .rh file extension are used to store the right hemisphere part of images. It is a program used to handle 2D/3D animation for both audio and video components on a computer or network. The file extension RH is used as a file format for storing specific data. These files are also used to store database and files that are going to be distributed on a network.

Anti-inflammatory drugs: What’s the evidence?

Traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), diclofenac (Voltaren), naproxen (Naprosyn), and others. These drugs are widely available in many dosage forms and most hospitals have several on formulary. NSAIDs are first-line options for many types of pain, but they can cause stomach upset and occasionally gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.

When cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors such as celecoxib (Celebrex) became available, they were expected to cause less GI bleeding. Some studies did indeed show less GI bleeding, but some didn’t – and then some studies showed an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. The COX-2 inhibitor rofecoxib (Vioxx) was removed from the Canadian market in 2004 for this reason. Several conflicting studies led to a COX-2 controversy. Were they safe?

Then studies began to emerge showing that traditional NSAIDs might carry cardiovascular risk as well. How big is this risk? Is it the same for all NSAIDs? With so much conflicting data, what information can a clinician trust, and which drugs should hospitals have on hand for treating mild to moderate pain?

Systematic reviews

This situation demonstrates the value of a systematic review. Systematic reviews of the medical literature capture all studies available on a given topic. As more studies become available on a given topic, we can have more confidence when we see conclusions repeated, or when a more mature data set is presented in one paper with a critical appraisal of all the included studies.

When the design of the studies is similar, the data from different studies can be pooled and re-analyzed together; this is called a meta-analysis. With more data comes more power to detect differences between treatments or to identify rare side effects.

The hierarchy of evidence

For all these reasons, systematic review and meta-analysis sit at the top of the “hierarchy of evidence.” This hierarchy is a way of ranking different types of clinical studies. In general, systematic reviews and meta-analyses are more reliable than a single randomized controlled trial (RCT), which in turn is more reliable than non-randomized studies such as cohort studies and case reports. Quality is important, though; a well-done study at the bottom of the hierarchy may be more reliable than a poorly-done systematic review.

Hallmarks of a high-quality systematic review include: a clearly formulated research question, a structured literature search strategy that others can reproduce, explicit methods for selecting and critically appraising studies, and a clear reproducible description of the methods used to analyze the data.

CADTH evidence review

CADTH recently critically appraised six systematic reviews and meta-analyses on COX-2 and NSAID safety. Two systematic reviews of RCTs reported no differences in cardiovascular or GI outcomes between celecoxib and high dose diclofenac, but one systematic review of non-randomized studies reported a slightly higher cardiovascular risk with diclofenac. For celecoxib vs. ibuprofen, celecoxib was associated with fewer GI complications without any statistically significant differences in major cardiovascular events. For celecoxib vs. naproxen, the risk of cardiovascular events was higher with celecoxib, but there were more GI complications with naproxen.

The bottom line is that:

  • naproxen seems to have lower cardiovascular risk than celecoxib
  • diclofenac and ibuprofen seem to have the same cardiovascular risk as celecoxib
  • celecoxib and diclofenac seem to have lower GI risk than ibuprofen and naproxen
  • clinicians may need to beware of underestimating the risks of these drugs

These results show the value of using systematic reviews, not only for controversial drugs such as COX-2 inhibitors, but also for commonly used drugs such as NSAIDs.

It’s also important to remember that a systematic review has the same limitations as the studies feeding into it. For example, most of the studies in these reviews lasted for three months or less, so by extension, the systematic reviews can only answer questions about short-term use. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have more power and precision than individual clinical trials, but their quality and relevance will always depend on the quality and relevance of the original studies.

On the color wheel long used by painters, and in traditional color theory, red is one of the three primary colors, along with blue and yellow.

Red's wavelength has been an important factor in laser technologies; red lasers, used in early compact disc technologies, are being replaced by blue lasers, as red's longer wavelength causes the laser's recordings to take up more space on the disc than would blue-laser recordings.

Red lac, also called red lake, crimson lake or carmine lake, was an important red pigment in Renaissance and Baroque art.

Colors with a shorter wavelength, such as blue and green, scatter more strongly, and are removed from the light that finally reaches the eye.

At sunrise and sunset, when the path of the sunlight through the atmosphere to the eye is longest, the blue and green components are removed almost completely, leaving the longer wavelength orange and red light.

The remaining reddened sunlight can also be scattered by cloud droplets and other relatively large particles, which give the sky above the horizon its red glow.

Akua Allrich

Jazz vocalist and D.C.-native, Akua Allrich has proven herself to be a musician of extraordinary talent and crowd-moving passion. With finesse and charisma, this vocalist, composer, and teacher has successfully etched out a place for her unique musical expression, electrifying audiences in and around the nation’s capital with sold-out performances.
With the launch of her independently produced album, A Peace of Mine, in 2010, and her latest release Uniquely Standard, Akua Allrich Live! the young artist’s music and concerts created a significant buzz with critics and music-lovers alike. Her appeal soon reached across U.S. borders and attained international attention. In early 2011, Allrich signed a distribution deal with Japanese record label AGATE/Inpartmaint Inc. Her debut CD, A Peace of Mine, was released in Japan during their “Golden Week” of May 2011. Music lovers and tastemakers from around the world expressed their appreciation and excitement for this new music.
Allrich’s style is fluid and ever evolving. Her musical roots run deeply into blues, soul, and rhythm and blues, with a clear grounding in jazz and pan-African music. She sings in many languages including Portuguese, French, Spanish, English, Xhosa, and Twi. Given her ability to capture the essence of a broad range of musical genres, Allrich is often likened to legendary artists such as Oscar Brown, Jr., Miriam Makeba, and Nina Simone. She has developed popular tribute programs involving the latter two women and other great African American women of jazz.
Akua Allrich was educated at Howard University, where she obtained her BM in jazz vocals and a master’s degree in social work. She was taught, coached, and mentored by talented musicians such as world-renowned singer Kehembe V. Eichelberger, singer/drummer Grady Tate, and pianist Charles Covington.

She is the child of a musical family (her father, Agyei Akoto, was a founding member of the jazz group Nation, and recorded two albums during Allrich’s youth). Her home held a wealth of cherished recordings that she and her siblings were invited to explore. In fact, she did not buy any albums until her second year in college because her parents had such an amazing collection of jazz records. One of the first jazz albums she bought was John Coltrane’s Live at the Village Vanguard: The Master Takes.
Allrich has already proven her abilities as a performer and bandleader by producing and performing many successful solo and group programs. In addition to focusing on her own engaging compositions, she keeps an ear to the rest of the world and to other eras and artists. Akua Allrich has inspired music lovers from all walks on an international scale, who enjoy her exceptional work and expect nothing short of brilliant artistry from each of her offerings.

Deepika Padukone sheds light on her beauty secrets

Zeenews Bureau

New Delhi: Svelte and pretty star Deepika Padukone, who jet-sets between different countries for her movie shoots and hardly holidays to take a break, makes us wonder what keeps her inner and outer radiance intact, always!

In an interview to a national tabloid, the ‘Cocktail’ beauty revealed her beauty secrets which we have wanted to know all this while. She said that one needs to debunk the myth that putting on layers of make-up is the right way to look pretty. Instead, she believes in indulging in regular coconut hair oil massages, using sun block, applying a rich night cream and eating a balanced meal complemented by proper sleep.

This Bangalorean also credits her toned body to her nutritious diet comprising idli-sambar, dal, veggies, chapattis and chicken/fish.

Lastly, she stated that the easiest way to glam up was by wearing an Indian dress and accessorising one’s forehead by a bindi .


Caring Guide for Baby Hamsters

Hamster photo
Photo by pelican

One cannot simply take their eyes off hamster babies. These small, charming animals will surely have your attention. Infant hamsters are born with no fur and are carefully connected to their mother. Though you might have the desire to hold them, bear in mind that you should not do anything within 2 weeks after delivery.

Never touch the babies. Your action may hurt them, alter their scent and puzzle the mother. She may believe that they are not hers, desert them, and worse, she may even consume the infants. Avoid tidying up the cage within this duration to prevent triggering tension from the mother. It is also suggested to put the infants at the bottom of the cage as none have opened their eyes yet.

After this crucial time, you can hold them only for short periods of time to avoid interrupting or worrying the mother or infants. You can also tidy up the cage and put fresh bed linens in the majority of the cage. Eliminate only the stained parts in the nest location and put a great part of the old bed linen in it. Put the infants back in the nest after it is tidied up followed by the mother.

When the babies’ eyes are opened (which usually takes 11-12 days, however some take more or less time), they have to find out how the bottle works. In order for them to reach it quickly, put it lower and in a location where they often go. If they have not found out ways to utilize the bottle and you are worried that they are not consuming enough water, you can provide pieces of cucumbers to avoid dehydration. Do not put water in a bowl to prevent them from falling in and drowning or catching a cold.

At 3 weeks, you can separate the infants if you observe any fighting amongst them. However if they appear immature, less developed and are not sufficiently independent to leave their mother, let them remain together till they are 4 weeks old. When they reach 5 weeks old, and are already independent and have a healthy development, they can be put in new houses and play in new environments.


The Invalid “Viability” Argument for Abortion

Bill Vallicella (Maverick Philosopher) summarizes Elizabeth Harman’s argument for abortion:

1) “Among early fetuses there are two very different kinds of beings . . . .”

2) One kind of early fetus has “moral status.”

3) The other kind of early fetus does not have “moral status.”

4) The fetuses possessing moral status have it in virtue of their futures, in virtue of the fact that they are the beginning stages of future persons.

5) The fetuses lacking moral status lack it in virtue of their not having futures, in virtue of their not being the beginning stages of future persons.

6) If a fetus is prevented from having a future, either by miscarriage or abortion, then the fetus does not have moral status at the time of its miscarriage or abortion. “That’s something that doesn’t have a future as a person and it doesn’t have moral status.” (From 5)

7) If a fetus lacks moral status, then aborting it is not morally impermissible.

8) ” . . . there is nothing morally bad about early abortion.”

Vallicella then refutes the argument:

She is maintaining in effect that the moral status of a biological individual depends on how long it lasts. So the early fetus that developed into Elizabeth Harman has moral status at every time in its development, while an aborted early fetus has moral status at no time in its development.

This issues in the absurd consequence that one can morally justify an abortion just by having one. For if you kill your fetus (or have your fetus killed), then you guarantee that it has no future. If it has no future, then it has no moral status. And if it has no moral status, then killing it is not morally impermissible, and is therefore morally justified.

In sum, and with all due Maverickian pithiness: Moral status cannot be contingent upon longevity.

Harman’s argument is essentially the “viability” argument, which I have summarized and refuted several times. This is from “Crimes Against Humanity“:

The argument that a fetus is “inviable” — and therefore somehow undeserving of life — until it reaches a certain stage of development is a circular argument designed to favor abortion. A fetus (except in the case of a natural miscarriage) is viable from the moment of conception until birth as long as it is not aborted. It is abortion that makes a fetus inviable. Abortion therefore cannot be excused on the basis of presumed inviability.

(Read the whole thing.)

Fleshing it out:

There is an argument that a fetus should not be aborted (executed) after it becomes viable and therefore capable of surviving outside the womb and attaining “full personhood”.

This implies that it is wrong to prevent a fetus from attaining “full personhood” if it is capable of doing so.

All fetuses are potentially viable, though some fetuses may expire by miscarriage (or death in the womb).

Except in those unpredictable and unusual cases, abortion prevents a fetus from attaining viability.

Executing a fetus before it attains viability therefore presumably prevents it from attaining viability and (probably) “full personhood”.

It is therefore wrong to execute a fetus before it attains viability.

It seems that Vallicella and I see it the same way.

After demolishing Harman’s argument, Vallicella asks this (his boldface): “Is it ever morally right and reasonable to question or impugn motives or character in a debate?” Having refuted Harman’s argument on its own merits (or lack thereof) Vallicella answers his question with a “yes”, and continues:

I have a theory about what really drives the innumerable bad pro-abortion/pro-choice arguments abroad in this decadent culture, but I leave that theory for later. Here I pose the bolded question quite generally and apart from the abortion question.

I have a theory, too, which you will find in “Leftism As Crypto-Fascism: The Google Paradigm” and “Leftism“. It boils down the this: a need for control (authoritarianism), born of neuroticism and (sometimes) psychopathy.

In this case (as in many) the need for control exhibits itself as an urge to overturn civilizing social norms. (It’s the adolescent rebellion syndrome writ large.) The targeted norms vary with time, which is why the left’s agenda is malleable and guided by elite opinion. And leftists obtain a degree of relief from their neuroticism by attaching themselves to the ideology and “belonging” to the “cause” that is represented in the agenda du jour.

Thus leftism is an attachment to a superficial ideology that can be expressed in slogans (e.g., reproductive rights, equality), not a set of deep principles (e.g., socially evolved and tested norms guide behavior in constructive directions). The “viability” argument is circular because it stands (and falls) on neurotic feelings instead of deep principles.

Year 6 - Mr D Miree

Summer 2 Overview

“Some people are on the pitch. They think it’s all over…”

But there were still moments to go, and Hurst burst down the left flank as he looked to wind down the clock. Despite admitting that he intended to blast it into the crowd, Hurst’s final kick found its way into the back of the net, making him the only player in history to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.

“It is now!”

This half term we will mainly be focusing on areas of Transition & Enterprise, hopefully we’ll have lots of opportunity to celebrate the World Cup too. Yaay!

During the second half of the summer term the children will be developing their instructional writing – children will write smoothie or pasta salad recipes for healthy eating day. They will also be writing a variety of arguments and debates – based upon relevant issues in the news at this time and finally they will be extending their imagination through a long narrative piece of writing – children will write their own prequel or sequel to our Hobbit story.

Children will use their skills of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000 when converting between units of length, mass and capacity.

Children will convert in both directions for example: from grams to kilograms and vice versa.

They will convert where the number of decimal places given varies and understand the role of zero as a place holder.

Investigations: Pupils will have the opportunity to be creative in their knowledge of mathematics when solving puzzles or when creating their own puzzles. It can be quite a creative leap for a student to discover that there is something worth investigating in a puzzle or that a conjecture is worth following up. The objectives your child will be exposed to will allow them to start an investigation and once they’ve reached certain points, ask themselves the question: “WHAT IF ….?”

Further learning opportunities:

Computing / Music: Music and Sound

Children will be developing their own sound and music to create their own podcast. They will have the opportunity to vary the tempo and track starting position on the timeline to create complex sounds and compositions to add to their presentations / films / images / photos. Then create and share more sophisticated podcasts and consider the effect that their podcasts

will have on the audience. Use ICT to compose appropriate music for podcasts and evaluate its impact.

PSHE: Changing Me (including Sex Education)

This topic deals with change. Your child will have the opportunity to learn how to be aware of self-image and develop their own self-esteem, your child will learn how their bodies changes

during puberty and understand the importance of looking after themselves physically and emotionally, your child will then learn how to describe how a baby develops from conception through the nine months of pregnancy and how it is born, they will also learn to understand how being physically attracted to someone changes the nature of the relationship and become confident that they can cope with this and finally they will also identify what they are looking forward to and what worries them about the transition to secondary school and know how to prepare themselves emotionally for starting secondary school.

Physical Education: Athletics

Children will further focus on developing their technical understanding of athletic activity. They learn how to set targets and improve their performance in a range of running, jumping and throwing activities. As in all athletic activities, children think about how to achieve the greatest speed, height, distance or accuracy. All their hard work will lead towards a competitive Sports Day. (Please Note: P.E. is now back to Wednesday and an additional session will be held on Thursday. Full kit is required, Can you ensure your child has a pair of trainers as we will be outside from now on.)

Science: Light

Pupils will build on the work on light in year 3, exploring the way that light behaves, including light sources, reflection and shadows. They will talk about what happens and make predictions.

They will work scientifically by: deciding where to place rear-view mirrors on cars; designing and making a periscope and using the idea that light appears to travel in straight lines to explain how it works. We will investigate the relationship between light sources, objects and shadows by using shadow puppets. Children will have an opportunity to extend their experience of light by looking a range of phenomena including rainbows, colours on soap bubbles, objects looking bent in water and coloured filters and wonder why these phenomena occur.

French: The Environment

We will be learning how to describe the different types of weather, the different types of wildlife living in a pond and the different types of wildlife found in a garden. We will also learn how to say what we like and dislike doing in the garden and talk about the different types of rubbish and how they can be recycled. We will also be having a French afternoon.

Design & Technology: Food and a Garden Enterprise

During this half term, your child will be learning about food hygiene and then design and create their own Salad Pasta dish. We will also be entrepreneurs by designing and creating our own wooden product so it can decorate the garden. This topic will provide your child plenty of opportunities to use a variety of tools and materials. Will your child’s design be the best seller?

Geography/ History: Global Food

We will be learning how to use an Atlas and find information about countries and continents. Your child will also learn where certain food is grown and learn about the shortage of food in other countries.

Religious Education: ISLAM Prayers and Food

Our task will be to write a letter to school children from the point of view of a Muslim, explaining how Muslims believe that giving money to charity shows commitment to Allah. Children will learn about Muslim prayers and think about three things in their life that require commitment. Children will design a card to celebrate Ramadan. Children will also have the opportunity to explain some of the different ways that individuals show their beliefs and ask questions that have no universally agreed answers.

Extra Information:

Please ensure your child reads at least 20 minutes each day and sign your child’s planner.

As your child is now entering the transition phase, homework will now be given out daily and will need to be handed in the following day.

Roger Altman, an investment banker and deputy treasury secretary under President Clinton, warned about the effect of growing inequality on national politics in a Washington Post column. He implies that this increase in inequality has been a natural outcome of the market:

"A series of powerful, entrenched factors have brought the American Dream to an end. Economists generally cite globalization, accelerating technology, increased income inequality and the decline of unions. What’s noteworthy is that these are long-term pressures that show no signs of abating."

The "powerful entrenched factors" are all the result of deliberate policy choices that Mr. Altman apparently doesn't want to see altered. In the case of globalization, we have made a deliberate decision to put our manufacturing workers in direct competition with low-paid workers in the developing world, while largely protecting our most highly paid workers like doctors and dentists. This has the predicted and actual effect of shifting income upward.

"Accelerating technology" (actually it has been decelerating as productivity growth has slowed to a crawl in the last decade) does not lead to upward redistribution; laws determining ownership of technology, such as patent and copyright monopolies redistribute income upward. There is a huge amount of money at stake with these government-granted monopolies. In the case of prescription drugs alone, patents and related protections add close to $370 billion a year (almost $3,000 per household) to what we pay for drugs in the United States. Bill Gates, the world's richest person, would probably still be working for a living without patent and copyright monopolies for Microsoft software.

And, the drop in unionization rates in the United States has also been the result of deliberate policy to make it more difficult to organize unions and to weaken the unions that do exist. Canada, which has a very similar culture and economy, has seen no comparable decline in unionization rates over the last four decades.

Someone seriously interested in reversing the upward redistribution of income would look to reverse these policies, but Altman seems to want us to believe that they are unalterable and instead focus on band-aid solutions. But, what do you expect from Jeff Bezos' Washington Post? (Yes, this is the point of my [free] book Rigged: How Globalization and the Rules of the Modern Economy Were Structured to Make the Rich Richer.)

Writing 101: Why identifying your revision strategy is key

Revision with Shurley English.jpg

In an earlier post, I explained how the Sentence Blueprints we use in Shurley English provide a targeted skill practice in writing well-constructed sentences. In this post, I want to build on that idea with another exceptional strategy that bolsters our young writers’ word choices and helps them think very specifically about their writing, in general.

It’s called The Revision Strategy, and it is part of the Sentence Blueprint activity I talked about. I love the word revision, because taken literally, it means to see again. Isn’t that exactly what we want our young writers to do with their writing? Revising is like looking carefully at your writing, but seeing it with new eyes!

Revision Strategies with Shurley English.png

Notice that the Parts of Speech labels occupy the uppermost fields. The next line shows an original sentence a student might write. Below that, the student makes revisions to the original sentence. But it is the fourth field that I find the most useful because it is the place where a kid’s thinking reverts from an internal process of the mind to one that is visible to both the student and the teacher. I always value the quality and effort in the thinking process more than final outcomes when it comes to kids and their progress, which is why the work by Dr. Carol Dweck and her Growth Mindset theory is so fascinating to me.

Here, in the process of teaching students to write, we’re actually teaching them how to think. Each revision strategy has its own label, as you can see in the dark blue dots that are numbered above the example. In Shurley English, we teach students what each revision is called and how it can improve a sentence. Just as a scientist slices through a sample to view a cross-section of its internal workings, so, too is a Sentence Blueprint exercise to a young writer. Of course, this is a targeted lesson and would not be done daily. It is used primarily to draw a focus upon the process effective writers undergo when writing. At this stage in the instruction, we use very basic vocabulary and simple revision strategies to get the point across that writers usually revisit a piece of writing several times before calling it complete. Some writers revise along the way, but for our students, we cannot assume they even understand the process of how to revise—so we show them step by step!

Next time, I will share with you some of the ways Shurley English helps students take basic vocabulary and sentence structure to new heights…stay tuned!

WRITING MATTERS: Presenting and Perceiving Monumental Inscriptions in Antiquity and the Middle Ages

Edited by Irene Berti, Katharina Bolle, Fanny Opdenhoff, and Fabian Stroth

De Gruyter (2017) h/b 395pp £81.99 (ISBN 9783110529159)

The question of what happens to a text when it is inscribed is currently receiving a surge of attention in scholarship; increased interest is being paid to the context and circumstances of display, and what this meant for the viewer and how a text was received. This volume is part of this trend, and is based on a conference that took place in Heidelberg in 2013, focused on the materiality of inscriptions in their physical contexts. The result is thirteen papers (ten in English, three in German) that approach this topic from a number of angles, examining different types of texts as well as different historical contexts. The title is slightly misleading, as not all the texts covered can be described as ‘monumental’, notably the chapters on graffiti in Pompeii and the surrounding areas (the contributions of Viitanen and Nissin, and Benefiel) or the use of signatures on works of art (Keil). However, the range of case studies, covering the epigraphic culture of Athens in the fifth century BC through to the use of text in churches and grave monuments of the Medieval period, is admirable. There is plenty of food for thought for scholars working in some way with the display of writing.

Inscriptions were embedded in a specific social and cultural setting, and the editors stress in their introduction that the aim is to ‘recontextualise inscriptions as artefacts within their original social and spatial surroundings’ (p. 3). The volume is divided into four thematic sections, with the contributors adopting a number of different approaches; unfortunately, there is not the space here to elaborate on each paper individually. The first deals with the theory behind materiality and text, thinking about how to develop new ways to approach physical texts, or, in the case of Lieb and Wagner’s paper, whether metatexts can offer insights into how inscriptions could acquire cultural meaning. The second theme is the spatial distribution of texts in certain urban or architectural settings. For instance, Berti and Kató examine how inscribed lists were employed in Hellenistic civic spaces to represent different aspects of communal organisation; Pallis discusses how texts could be used to differentiate space in Byzantine churches and how this would be received by different audiences. The next section focuses on the arrangement of texts on particular monuments, and their link to memory. The interplay between text and sculpture is explored both in the contribution of Shear, discussing the honorific statue erected in honour of Demosthenes in Hellenistic Athens, and by Melfi, focusing on the stelai honouring Polybius found in different cities of Arcadia. The final section focuses on the perception of inscriptions, with Rhoby proposing that certain Byzantine texts had an artistic value in and of themselves.

Overall, this is an interesting and thought-provoking collection, though it can seem at times disjointed, and more cross-referencing between contributions would have been beneficial, particularly when addressing similar themes and/or periods. A standout paper is that of Meyer, who considers the use of columnar inscriptions on monuments in Classical Athens, and successfully explores the interaction between the physical monument and the text. She argues that this format developed from the use of post monuments in the early fifth century BC; in this way, the physicality of the original monuments dictated subsequent choices over layout, and it was from these predecessors that the columnar format acquired its meaning.

The specificity of a number of the case studies may make this volume more suitable for a specialised audience, rather than a general reader. Nevertheless, it covers an impressive array of approaches to the materiality of text and will be of interest to anyone engaged with the topic of inscriptions as physical objects.

Attorneys Do Help You Recover after a Car Accident

There are times in life when unexpected things happen. Certainly, there are many of these situations that can be quite positive or, in some way, ends up benefiting us greatly. However, there are many other unexpected occurrences, such as car accidents, which are very dangerous and harmful, and can potentially be life-changing. In fact, tens of thousands of people are injured, and some even killed, in unexpected car accidents every single year. Check out to get started.

Despite the different things we do to stay safe while driving, the reality is that there is usually very little to nothing we can do to either predict or prevent a car accident. Most of the time, the only thing we can really do is handle the aftermath as best as possible, doing what we can to get our lives back to a state of good health and normalcy. Yet, even when the car accident is relatively minor without anyone getting injured, handling the aftermath can still be considerably challenging for many people. For some people who do suffer injuries, going through such a process can be extremely difficult, if not impossible, as they strive to recover and rehabilitate. Whether it is considered serious or not, anyone that is involved in a car accident should definitely get whatever kind and however much help and support as they need to return their lives to normal.

Following a car accident, one of the most important sources of help and support will come from a car accident attorney. One reason for this is that they are most often the best equipped to help you get proper financial compensation through managing various legal and insurance matters. Even if financial compensation is not able to undo the incident or significantly take your pain away, it can certainly help you greatly in getting your life back in order. From auto repairs, to getting quality rehabilitation services, to supplementing income losses from missing work, how well things turn out after a car accident can very often be determined by this financial compensation.

Whether you are the victim or not, a car accident attorney will likely be your best ally and asset as you seek to get all legal and insurance matters settled after an incident. If you are the victim, your attorney will, of course, do everything within their power, using every necessary skill and professional connection, to get you the highest amount of financial compensation possible. If you are the one to blame, then your car accident attorney will put up a vigorous fight to keep the potential consequences as small or low as possible. Overall, as you should be mainly focusing on recovering and getting life back to normal, your car accident attorney's primary function is to assist you by managing these many difficult, technical matters.
