Doctors & Criminal Charges | -- NPR's Patricia Neighmond reports on reaction within the medical profession to Dr. Shug's trial. The California Medical Association is filing a `friend of the court' brief, in support of Dr. Shug. It argues that a doctor who intends no harm and is trying to help a patient should not be subject to criminal charges. A consumer group in Washington, Public Citizens' Health Research Group, disagrees. It argues that minor reprimands are not enough to prevent life-threatening mistakes of the kind which appear to have been made by Dr. Shug. | A new study says that the mortality risk for patients with certain acute heart conditions was not negatively impacted if they are admitted to the hospital when a cardiologist isn't there.

Who was the editor who got their hands on the first draft of To Kill a Mockingbird? | After finishing the first draft and returning it to Lippincott, the manuscript, at that point titled "Go Set a Watchman", fell into the hands of Therese von Hohoff Torrey — known professionally as Tay Hohoff — a small, wiry veteran editor in her late 50s. Hohoff was impressed. “[T]he spark of the true writer flashed in every line,” she would later recount in a corporate history of Lippincott. But as Hohoff saw it, the manuscript was by no means fit for publication. It was, as she described it, “more a series of anecdotes than a fully conceived novel.” During the next couple of years, she led Lee from one draft to the next until the book finally achieved its finished form and was retitled To Kill a Mockingbird. | An in-depth study of MP3 audio quality, sound artist and composer Ryan Maguire's project "The Ghost in the MP3" isolates the sounds lost during MP3 compression. In 2015, he released the track "moDernisT" (an anagram of "Tom's Diner"), composed exclusively from the sounds deleted during MP3 compression of the song "Tom's Diner", the track originally used in the formulation of the MP3 standard. A detailed account of the techniques used to isolate the sounds deleted during MP3 compression, along with the conceptual motivation for the project, was published in the 2014 Proceedings of the International Computer Music Conference. | eng_Latn | 75,469 |
This book was purchased for a PhD level course. It is a very easy read. It gives practical applications to the latest brain research. On a down note, there are not a lot of references documented within the text when Jensen quotes a study, but he does give an extensive bibliography. This book can be used for parents to read about how their child's brain works, or for teachers within a school system. It is a good book to read if you want basic information about the brain from an education standpoint.
| Mr. Jensen has saved me and other teachers the time of gathering together the latest information about the brain, learning and so much more! He has made all this scholarly research accessible and fun to read. I wish the deadwood at my school would at least read this book but I hope they would also use the great ideas in it, too, for the students' sake!
| I find it hard to believe people fall for this stuff. He writes so much stuff that he pulls out of mid-air, supposedly based on the brain research. If you are unfortunate enough to take a class that requires this, read it carefully. He jumps to conclusions with little to no evidence to back it up. Plus, he is neither a teacher nor a neurologist. He just found something he can write about and sound like an expert. Plus the writing seems written for, we'll, let's say, young readers. Very simplistic, which is not always bad, but in this case, it is.Again, read carefully. Analyze his statements and look for the actual scientific proof for them. You will be hard-pressed to find any, either in his book or elsewhere. Total fluff.

Do religious voters discriminate against women gubernatorial candidates | ABSTRACTScholars report that areas with higher concentrations of religious voters elect relatively few women to executive office. These studies, however, cannot explain whether the observed patterns are a direct result of religious individuals’ vote choices. Our study explores this question using Cooperative Congressional Election Studies data from all mixed-gender gubernatorial elections in the 2008 through 2016 general election cycles. We conclude that religious voters, regardless of religious tradition or gender, are not significant barriers to electing women to state executive office. More specifically, religious individuals are disproportionately supportive of Republican women and opposed to Democratic women, even when controlling for the ideological distance between the individual’s partisanship and that of the candidate. | This paper outlines past and current demographics of the state and local government workforce, contrasted against the demographics of the private sector, and explores the projected public sector workforce needs of the future as the Baby Boom generation begins to retire.

Who influences Boston's politics and religion? | Boston shares many cultural roots with greater New England, including a dialect of the non-rhotic Eastern New England accent known as Boston English, and a regional cuisine with a large emphasis on seafood, salt, and dairy products. Irish Americans are a major influence on Boston's politics and religious institutions. Boston also has its own collection of neologisms known as Boston slang. | Yale traces its beginnings to "An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School," passed by the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut on October 9, 1701, while meeting in New Haven. The Act was an effort to create an institution to train ministers and lay leadership for Connecticut. Soon thereafter, a group of ten Congregationalist ministers: Samuel Andrew, Thomas Buckingham, Israel Chauncy, Samuel Mather, Rev. James Noyes II (son of James Noyes), James Pierpont, Abraham Pierson, Noadiah Russell, Joseph Webb and Timothy Woodbridge, all alumni of Harvard, met in the study of Reverend Samuel Russell in Branford, Connecticut, to pool their books to form the school's library.

The Uses of the Past. Anastasius Grün's Political Ideas in the Field of Fiction | In his epic poem Pfaff vom Kahlenberg, published 1850, Anastasius Grun uses an idiosyncratic reception of the German comical literature of the Late Medieval Period and a depiction of the historical ritual of enthronement of the Dukes of Carinthia to criticize the social situation of the restoration period and to present his politically liberal ideas in a more or less hidden way. The transfer of oppositional ideas into the fictive world of literature and into the historical sphere of ancient traditions grants him a distanced position to the current historical conditions of the time.

A study of effective and ineffective presidential campaign speaking | This article seeks to isolate factors associated with effective and ineffective campaign speeches made by Adlai E.

Eighty‐seven replies were received and sixty‐four were sufficiently complete for analysis. There was high agreement that six speeches were effective and six ineffective. Factors associated with effectiveness (their opposites with ineffectiveness) included the following: single issue discussed; relatively uncontroversial subject; constructive material emphasized and refutation de‐emphasized; responsive and sympathetic audience; speaker spent great deal of time editing and revising but little on basic draft; revisions were to clarify and identify with audience rather than to qualify remarks; emphasis on solutions rather than problems; introductions contained humor, irony, and sati... | 6 pages, 5 figures.-- PACS nr.: 43.58.Dj.-- Communication presented at: Forum Acusticum Sevilla 2002 (Sevilla, Spain, 16-20 Sep 2002), comprising: 3rd European Congress on Acoustics; XXXIII Spanish Congress on Acoustics (TecniAcustica 2002); European and Japanese Symposium on Acoustics; 3rd Iberian Congress on Acoustics.-- Special issue of the journal Revista de Acustica, Vol. XXXIII, year 2002. | eng_Latn | 77,730 |

Because of the times we live in, it is especially heartening to read about a man of honor who ran this country with intelligence and wisdom.

The character that is built from hard work and the inevitable struggle at times is not available from any other source. It can be said that what one learns and becomes through planning and hard work cannot be taken from them, but rather it becomes what you are and what you bring to every situation.

Are Informed Traders Sensitive to Regulatory Environments | This paper empirically analyses how investors with private material information decide in which regulatory regime, set by governments in different countries, to trade. We study put–call deviations (which indicate informed trading) for options written solely on US-listed companies and for those with dual listings/headquarter in China. We argue that informed traders actively choose the regulatory regime with the lowest level of regulatory rigorousness in order to exploit private information. We find that the informational content of put–call parity deviations is detectable for companies listed solely in the USA, but not for Chinese companies. Our evidence suggests that informed traders do not tend to exploit their private information where regulatory rigorousness is high (e.g. a high likelihood of detection and subsequent enforcement). They will instead opt to trade where regulatory rigorousness is low. | Through the several occasions to participate in the management of feed industry in our province and for nearly 300 feed production enterprises survey in the past two years,the existing problems and factors to feed safety were analyzed.In order to ensure the safety of animal products,what feed market supervision should be done in Shaanxi province was proposed. | eng_Latn | 81,900 |
Are the bacteria that is found on poultry easy to get rid of? | A 2011 study by the Translational Genomics Research Institute showed that 47% of the meat and poultry sold in United States grocery stores was contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus, and 52% of the bacteria concerned showed resistance to at least three groups of antibiotics. Thorough cooking of the product would kill these bacteria, but a risk of cross-contamination from improper handling of the raw product is still present. Also, some risk is present for consumers of poultry meat and eggs to bacterial infections such as Salmonella and Campylobacter. Poultry products may become contaminated by these bacteria during handling, processing, marketing, or storage, resulting in food-borne illness if the product is improperly cooked or handled. | The person or organization submits a HCP and if approved by the agency (FWS or NMFS), will be issued an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) which allows a certain number of "takes" of the listed species. The permit may be revoked at any time and can allow incidental takes for varying amounts of time. For instance, the San Bruno Habitat Conservation Plan/ Incidental Take Permit is good for 30 years and the Wal-Mart store (in Florida) permit expires after one year. Because the permit is issued by a federal agency to a private party, it is a federal action-which means other federal laws can apply, such as the National Environmental Policy Act or NEPA.

What Do Mathematicians Want? Probabilistic Proofs and the Epistemic Goals of Mathematicians | Several philosophers have used the framework of means/ends reasoning to explain the methodological choices made by scientists and mathematicians (see, e.g., Goldman 1999, Levi 1962, Maddy 1997). In particular, they have tried to identify the epistemic objectives of scientists and mathematicians that will explain these choices. In this paper, the framework of means/ends reasoning is used to study an important methodological choice made by mathematicians. Namely, mathematicians will only use deductive proofs to establish the truth of mathematical claims. In this paper, I argue that none of the epistemic objectives of mathematicians that are currently on the table provide a satisfactory explanation of this rejection of probabilistic proofs. | Summary Government action during food crises in southern Africa frequently exacerbates the problems, driving food staple prices well beyond import parity. We argue that an inability to make credible commitments, due largely to a lack of trust between public and private sectors, contributes to this dynamic.

The policies emerging from such a process are not likely to approximate first best recommendations.

Whose ambitions are credited with causing the conflict? | The Franco-Prussian War or Franco-German War (German: Deutsch-Französischer Krieg, lit. German-French War, French: Guerre franco-allemande, lit. Franco-German War), often referred to in France as the War of 1870 (19 July 1870 – 10 May 1871), was a conflict between the Second French Empire and the German states of the North German Confederation led by the Kingdom of Prussia. The conflict was caused by Prussian ambitions to extend German unification. Some historians argue that the Prussian chancellor Otto von Bismarck planned to provoke a French attack in order to draw the southern German states—Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria and Hesse-Darmstadt—into an alliance with the North German Confederation dominated by Prussia, while others contend that Bismarck did not plan anything and merely exploited the circumstances as they unfolded. | In the late renaissance various writers began to question the medieval and classical understanding of knowledge acquisition in a more fundamental way. In political and historical writing Niccolò Machiavelli and his friend Francesco Guicciardini initiated a new realistic style of writing. Machiavelli in particular was scornful of writers on politics who judged everything in comparison to mental ideals and demanded that people should study the "effectual truth" instead. Their contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) said, "If you find from your own experience that something is a fact and it contradicts what some authority has written down, then you must abandon the authority and base your reasoning on your own findings." | eng_Latn | 84,401 |

In its discussion of Gary Shteyngart’s Super Sad True Love Story , this essay shows how posthuman fantasies of a bodiless existence come about through processes of digital remediation similar to those described in Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin’s now classic study of new media. For these critics, Western desires for unfiltered encounters with reality paradoxically result in the proliferation of new media forms that substitute “hypermediacy” for “immediacy.” Likewise, in Shteyngart’s novel, characters’ desires for attenuated or completely erased bodies are realized in the act of multiplying their bodies’ relationships with information technologies. In this respect, the novel enables us to explore the ways that a new posthuman realism shapes human bodies, desires, and politics in the digital age. | From the Publisher: ::: With his idiosyncratic blend of ideas from Lacan and Hegel, the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek has emerged as one of the most original thinkers of our time.

No previously digitised original | This article considers Stanislavski’s understanding of the “laws of nature” from the point of view provided by Henri Lefebvre’s theories of everyday life. I will argue that Stanislavski’s last years of work saw the application of his approach to physical actions as a means to create an organicity (or accordance) on stage between nature and acting processes. The term “physical actions” will be fine-tuned to “everyday physical actions” in order to contrast everyday life’s seeming triviality with its potential to embody meaningful human relationships. The article will employ Stanislavski’s rehearsal notes for a 1933 production of Artists and Admirers as a case-study and main source.

Narrating, Witnessing, and Healing Trauma in Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive | Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive provides a case study in trauma and in the ways one might work through trauma to achieve "post-victim" status. Vogel refracts the story of sexual abuse through Li'l Bit, a narrator-protagonist who exercises control over her past experiences by dramaturgically manipulating them in the present performance. The key components that enable her adult control over her childhood trauma are forgiveness on her part (of both her Uncle Peck and herself) and witnessing on the audience's part. Li'l Bit's newfound ability to tell her story on her own terms and have that story witnessed in performance allows her to begin the healing process. | Review(s) of: Australians all: A history of growing up from the ice age to the apology, by Nadia Wheatley, illustrated by Ken Searle, Allen and Unwin, Crows Nest, 2013, 280 pages RRP $45.50. | eng_Latn | 84,552 |

To what clan family do the Ogaden belong? | Somali society is traditionally ethnically endogamous. So to extend ties of alliance, marriage is often to another ethnic Somali from a different clan. Thus, for example, a recent study observed that in 89 marriages contracted by men of the Dhulbahante clan, 55 (62%) were with women of Dhulbahante sub-clans other than those of their husbands; 30 (33.7%) were with women of surrounding clans of other clan families (Isaaq, 28; Hawiye, 3); and 3 (4.3%) were with women of other clans of the Darod clan family (Majerteen 2, Ogaden 1). | This view reveals a somewhat less than altruistic Christian intent of the British Empire; however, it was paradoxical from the beginning, as Simpson and most other writers pointed out. The Ottomans were portrayed as the slavers, but even as the American and British fleets were striking at the Barbary pirates on behalf of freedom, their countries were promulgating a vigorous African slave trade of their own. Charles George Gordon is known as the saint of all British colonial officers. A dedicated Christian, he spent his time between assignments living among the poor and donating his salary on their behalf. He won Ottoman confidence as a junior officer in the Crimean War.

Responding to Ordinary Christology | This article uses empirical data from a previous study to explore how theological educators should respond to ordinary Christology as well as ordinary soteriology. It begins by addressing the question of how to respond to beliefs about Jesus that do not conform to the canons of official orthodoxy and proceeds to argue for the functional Christology of ordinary believers to be given a say in defining orthodoxy and enlarging normativity. Some of the implications for theological education of exemplarist soteriology, together with its corollary pluralism, are also discussed and a plea is made for ordinary theology to be taken seriously by those who are engaged in Christian education, as well as those involved in Christian mission and ministry.

In your opionion who was the "best" Sci-Fi villian from a movie or TV show?\n\nPersonally, I'm thinking Roy Batty from Bladerunner or Scorpius from Farscape. | Gonna put my UK sci-fi anorak on and throw in a vote for Davros, creator of the Daleks in Doctor Who. Half man, half Dalek, he was the ultimate revolting old man, annhilating every human on his planet, espousing racial purity and supremacy, but having the genius to finalise a solution - the Dalek.

White House Forms Commission In Search Of Judicial Diversity | Prior to entering office, President Biden pledged to appoint a presidential commission to study possible reforms of America’s judiciary. It was partly a reaction to what progressives saw as the rushed confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett days before last fall’s presidential election.

Sinfonías de Libertad : un estudio de El Silmarillion de J. R. R. Tolkien y El Sobrino del Mago de C. S. Lewis.s | In the present work we seek to show the return of myth in the twentieth century, through fantastic literature, and how from fantastic literature and myth, worth the redundancy, you can make a critique of instrumental reason. This will be done through the analysis of The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien and The Nephew of the Magician by C. S. Lewis. There will also be a brief historical and typological introduction about fantastic literature, and the two World Wars will be taken into account as a key context for studying the works and the relationship between myth and instrumental reason. | Shepard, Elaine - Biographical entry - The Robert Menzies Collection: A Living Library - The Robert Menzies Collection: A Living Library is a biographical and bibliographical database documenting more than 4000 books from the personal collection of Sir Robert Gordon Menzies held at the University of Melbourne Library. | spa_Latn | 90,147 |
Protecting the Future: Professional Associations and the Net Book Agreement | The final chapter is a discussion of how literary businesses were able to instigate institutional change through professional associations and societies. Beginning with an analysis of the origins of the Society of Authors who were active in lobbying for authors rights, their position the study argues aided the acceptance of literary agents. In addition, the narrative explores the Publishers Association who were responsible for the introduction of the Net Book Agreement (NBA) in 1900. This was led by Frederick Macmillan, son of the one of the founders of the Macmillan publishing house. From an analysis of archival sources, this chapter argues that professional associations were used to get practices accepted, as they forced members to comply with standards leading them to be reproduced and legitimised within the industry. | As important grassroots organizations in Song Dynasty,associations have always drawn scholars' attention.Though studies of their organizational form,nature and function,their social impact on the society and historical significance,have reached an unprecedented height,some deficiencies are obvious.This paper tries to examine the deficiencies of the previous studies to clear the path for further research. | eng_Latn | 90,149 |
Decolonizing Literature: Stelio M Martini and the Writing of the Images | This interview is the first English language introduction to Stelio Maria Martini, whose works of visual poetry are embedded in the richly varied post-World War II avant-garde developments in Italian art, literature and cinema that remain virtually unknown in Britain.Martini's deployment of collage photo-images in poetry since the late 1950s is situated at the blurred and permeable thresholds of art and literature. The objective of Martini's poetic has always been the decolonization of Western literary history, which is firmly entrenched in the Logos, the Word, as sole privileged access to truth. His experiment in the liminality of the word-image have roots in Italian Futurism, Dada, Surrealism, Italian neo-figurative art of the 1950s, but also anticipate the concrete poetry evolving in France, Latin America and elsewhere. | Poster: "ECR 2015 / B-0043 / Pelvic static MR vs MR-defecography in the study of woman's pelvic floor disorders" by: "A. ambrosi, G.

Comfort of Light-weight Wool and Wool Blend Woven Fabrics | The comfort of the light-weight woven fabrics was investigated by conducting the wear trials under the controlled climatic conditions. The wear trial under the neutral environmental conditions showed that the lightweight wool and wool blend fabrics are generally less comfortable than the silk fabric, cotton poplin and polyester/cotton poplin fabrics tested in this study. The main shortcoming in terms of comfort for these lightweight wool fabrics is the prickle. Besides, the fabric softness was found to be a very important factor influencing the comfort of the clothing worn next to the skin. | In 1899 Thorstein Veblen wrote a seminal monograph on the subject of consumption and leisure. ::: His work, The Theory of the Leisure Class, is one of the most enduring examples of status-seeking ::: individuals� conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure practices, particularly when applied ::: to the tourist industry, and furthermore, is still relevant in today�s economic climate.

Authorship: The Development and Legitimation of a Literary Profession | The chapter begins with the historical context of professional authorship, highlighting the impact of copyright on an author’s ability to earn money and control their literary property. The narrative moves to explore the practice of frequenting gentlemen’s clubs to do business as authors used clubs to socialise with their professional network and find new opportunities. The chapter then addresses one of the defining features of Victorian publishing, serialisation—discussing how the format of journalism underpinned authorship in particular demonstrating how Charles Dickens used serialisation to reach a wide readership. The chapter closes with a study of the practices used by women such as publishing under male pseudonyms or anonymously. Through an analysis of letters written by Charlotte Bronte in relation to the publication of Jane Eyre, this chapter demonstrates how women circumvented gender stereotypes to get published. | Students at the University of Ottawa, many of whom were targeting a career in medicine, were surveyed to determine their attitudes and expectations regarding a new student-run peer-reviewed journal for the health sciences. A number of students reported that the existence of the journal would make them more likely to take a class with a written component, while a majority would work harder on that assignment. Those intending to pursue postgraduate or professional studies were most likely to recognize the value to their careers of having a publication history. We argue that student-run medical communication endeavors such as this are beneficial both for enhancing student careers and for contributing to a more thorough educational experience. | eng_Latn | 90,425 |

When did scientists began to arrive en masse to study the geology and ecology of the Alpine region? | In 1816 Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley visited Geneva and all three were inspired by the scenery in their writings. During these visits Shelley wrote the poem "Mont Blanc", Byron wrote "The Prisoner of Chillon" and the dramatic poem Manfred, and Mary Shelley, who found the scenery overwhelming, conceived the idea for the novel Frankenstein in her villa on the shores of Lake Geneva in the midst of a thunderstorm. When Coleridge travelled to Chamonix, he declaimed, in defiance of Shelley, who had signed himself "Atheos" in the guestbook of the Hotel de Londres near Montenvers, "Who would be, who could be an atheist in this valley of wonders". By the mid-19th century scientists began to arrive en masse to study the geology and ecology of the region. | By the time of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, Strasbourg was a prosperous community, and its inhabitants accepted Protestantism in 1523. Martin Bucer was a prominent Protestant reformer in the region. His efforts were countered by the Roman Catholic Habsburgs who tried to eradicate heresy in Upper Alsace. As a result, Alsace was transformed into a mosaic of Catholic and Protestant territories.
