Chapter six is where Darwin humbly acknowledges that his work is not entirely watertight, explains some of the problems that have been noticed and objections raised, and then goes on to demonstrate why the objections are all wrong. It’s particularly notable for the passage explaining the evolution of the eye, in which Darwin explains just how moronic the still pervasive creationist argument from apparent design is. That’s why it’s so shocking that some creationists are so pathologically dishonest and tragically incompetent that they quote one line from this anti-creationist passage — “to suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.” — as being Darwin’s admittance of defeat in explaining the origin of complex traits.
But as several people have noted, even those readers of The Origin who have a grounding in reality are just getting out of the book whatever they want to get from it. The book was written 150 years ago, in the style of its time, and in a different intellectual context, after all. We are not quote mining, but neither are we really stating the facts as Darwin saw them. We think that we spot ideas that look very prescient of major principles in biology which weren’t developed until after Darwin’s time — but can we be sure that’s not just an invention of our modern informed selves? And, primed with myths from many varied sources, surprise surprise, our reading of the book conforms to those myths. Like my opening remark: Darwin was a humble man?
Simon Conway Morris and Larry Moran suggest that the “doubts” that Darwin raises are a rhetorical trick: he is sarcastically agreeing with his detractors in order to demolish them. Darwin knows very well that his argument is a strong one, and his opponents’ demonstrably flawed. He has no need to lack confidence, and indeed he does not. I can fully believe this theory.
But this does not mean that Darwin was not a humble man. Whether the man knew he was right, and whether he was humble about it, are two very different questions. Darwin did allow himself a rare moment of glory in the closing passage of the book, acknowledging that he had discovered some of the most important principles in science. But he was no Craig Venter.

Social-Logical – Who Are The Vapers?
Sociology is ubiquitous. Sociology is an academic discipline with a broad reach that can scientifically measure data and analyze results which are then typically shared with others. All higher educational curriculums have SOC listed as a portion of the Social Sciences and or the Humanities; overall, it is field of study known to be largely recognized as existing within the realm of Liberal Arts & Sciences. Sociology can literally be applied to anything that exists within our socially constructed reality; basically, our civilized world as we perceive it.
Altogether, Sociology is a fond passion of mine. I might even suggest it is the catalyst behind my purpose on this planet. As a Sociologist, you have the profound distinction of dissecting anything which exsists, all through a Sociological Prism, giving substance, saving face, and building moral Perspective; Sociological Perspective: often times the only genuinely true way to view issues. SOC is merely the study of socialization, societal conflicts, and social interactions. More simplified, Sociology is the study of society and human behavior. Consisting of multiple theorized estimated assumptions, predictions, or explanations as well as including the raw quantitative data hoping to give credibility to social research studies which are aimed at providing statistical proof. All in all, as noted previously, Sociology is broad, so broad in fact that it is literally ubiquitous in the world we know. Sociology is more or less the only gateway for me to utilize intellectualism as a tool; The tool used for making sense of the world, the tool utilized for seeking truth and holding onto the truth as fact. In a socially isolated preeminent era, face-to-face social interaction is becoming a lost art within our society primarily dominated by the digital technology we all love to use.
However, sociology will explain to you that social interaction or verbal exchanges between individuals or groups is a process known to help lay foundation for the moral high ground and the overall well being in the health of the human race. We must recognize the fact that no matter how academic, intellectual or broad this discipline is, it is by far one of the most important fields of study no matter what era it is we decide to make for ourselves. We must continue to study sociology in a professional manner and spread the word of moral development and equality amongst humanity. Honestly I can see that I truly believe sociology is the only thing with the ability to allow all ethnicities, religions, regions, skin colors, ages or wages, SOC will be crucial for the future obstacles we are currently creating. Sociology is the only academic discipline that wil assist us in understanding the benefits we’ll all experience if we cooperate with tolerance and humility by choosing to live together as one; one people of one planet. After all, in essence one people living on one planet is what we truly are no matter which way you slice it; that’s all we are in realistic practical terms…until we recognize that and act on it…we’re nothing but fools.
In closing, it’s not “WTF is Sociology?”; it’s more like “Sociology? WTF!” Case in point as to why we should all strive even more towards conducting social research, analyzing data, & ultimately understanding & sharing results. Sociology is the study of us. Why wouldn’t that be something with great significance to gain further knowledge of? But don’t get confused, SOC is exponentially more than just the study of humans. Sociology is a part of the Social Sciences, a far more intricately detailed and emotionally connected type of subject area which speaks for itself. Why most people do not know what exactly SOC is, truly perplexes me, yet it is our history, our legacy, & our salvation. So use it wisely. But just make sure to seriously use it, that is, if you genuinely care sbout being remembered in a positive light.

The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (“MAPC”) is issuing a “Request for Proposals” (“RFP”) for a consultant to provide a sketch transportation modeling tool to evaluate changes in destination accessibility and travel patterns associated with various transportation and land use alternatives for a major redevelopment site in the Boston region’s inner core. The provided tool should be able to efficiently produce modeling results for multiple scenarios based on changing assumptions about the scale, location, mix, and form of future development; the routes, speed, and frequency of future transit services; and the nature of transportation demand management policies put into place.
The application of the tool will ultimately inform the planning of new transportation investments and land use policies by prioritizing options that should be subject to more detailed analysis and modeling. The sketch modeling tool is intended to complement the region’s existing travel demand model operated by the Central Transportation Planning Staff. While the first application will be for the West Station Area Transit Study, MAPC seeks a tool with transparent, state-of-practice methods that can be transferred to other study areas in the region as the need arises.

Photo by Wendy Chan A hearty soup for a family New Year celebration.
Chinese New Year is around the corner, falling on Feb. 5 this year. To celebrate the Year of the Golden Pig, my southern Chinese family's tradition is to have savory rice ball soup the night before, whereas the northerners like to have dumplings. The soft little balls made from glutinous rice flour symbolize closeness and affection for family and friends. On New Year's Eve, it is important for families to get together and share a feast — rice ball soup is a must-have dish. This delicious soup is packed with rice flour dough, meat, dried shrimp, vegetables and herbs. A good broth is the key. A bowl of it brings warmth and comfort to your soul. I often make it during the winter and my kids like to help me. While they are rolling the tiny rice balls, I tell them my Chinese New Year stories from when I was their age.
I remember the weather was always harsh during the month of February in the village. One year I was visiting my maternal grandmother. In her tiny kitchen, she was busy making fresh chicken broth in a big pot and cooking meats and vegetables in a large wok. The crackling wood in the fire box of her stove was burning strong. I sat with my youngest aunt and uncle by the fire, competitively rolling the rice balls in our hands. Amid the aroma of the soup and the steaming from the wok — everyone was pacing back and forth to the kitchen, waiting anxiously for this New Year's Eve special. Despite how delicious they were, I didn't care for the rice balls back then. According to my mom, for years I was the only one in the family who chewed them but was afraid to swallow. So I always ended up having steamed rice with the broth. My grandma is turning 97 soon and this year I want to make my recipe when I visit her. I can't say my recipe is traditional but my mom thinks it's close enough to the village style.
First, make the broth. Put the bones, ginger and water in a big pot, and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and let it boil for 20 minutes, skimming any fat or scum. Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the pot and let it simmer for at least 2 hours.
While the broth is cooking, marinate the pork and chicken with soy sauce, corn starch and 1 teaspoon of oil for 30 minutes.
Then get the rice balls rolling. Set aside ¼ cup of rice flour. In a medium bowl, mix the rest of the rice flour with 2 cups lukewarm water and knead it well until it forms a soft dough. If it's too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time. Use the reserved flour to dust a cookie tray and your hands. Roll 1 teaspoon of dough into a ball between your palms and place it on the tray. Continue rolling until all the dough is rolled into balls, leaving space between them to avoid sticking together.
Prepare the soup. In a wok or a large pan, warm the oil over high heat. Add the dried shrimp, chicken, pork, sausage and minced ginger, and stir fry until the meat is lightly browned. Add the daikon and shiitake mushrooms. Sauté for 3-5 minutes and add the broth through a strainer. Let the soup boil for 10 minutes until the daikon is tender. While the soup is boiling, add the rice balls, letting them boil until the balls are floating. Remove the pot from heat and add the green onions and cilantro, as well as salt and white pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Furniture is a very important element of the house because it adds personality to it. With the right furniture, you can create an ambiance that showcases your style, taste and values to anyone who visits your place. There are a lot of eclectic choices available these days, which makes it a great time to buy furniture. It doesn’t matter if your budget is big or small, you just have to visit the best furniture stores to choose new seating, bed, tables or other accessories that can make a huge difference. But, how do you select a store? There are tons of them out there and this can make it difficult to choose.
You want a store that sells quality and long-lasting furniture. Everyone knows that furniture doesn’t come cheap and when you are making an investment, you want to sure it is a good one. You can buy and exchange inexpensive accessories easily, but big furniture purchases such as dining tables, sofas and the like are long-term investments. This means that you need to focus more on the solid construction and less on the style. But, the problem is that solid construction is not immediately evident just by looking at the piece of furniture. You should check into the materials, frame and the warranty available.
There are furniture stores out there that charge you high price, but don’t really offer you any value in return. You want furniture that can provide you value for money and only the best furniture stores can offer this to you. It is better to pay more for a reliable and quality piece of furniture than get something cheap and end up replacing it in a short while. Look for brands that have a good reputation and a long track record.
It is the service that matters most to customers. Every furniture store has a different customer service policy and you want to pick one that’s loyal to its clientele. Would you shop from a store that has a rude staff and no proper return policies? Obviously not. The good furniture stores always try to cater to their clients. Not only do they have friendly and helpful staff for guiding customers, but they also have money-back guarantees and excellent return policies. Apart from that, trustworthy furniture stores also offer great delivery policies, which means that you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for getting your furniture delivered.
After moving into my new house, I decided that my days of living without furniture are over and I need to invest in some beautiful furniture. But since I want something that suits my budget, big brands were out of the question.
So, to fill my needs for buying more beautiful with my stubbornness for getting good discounts, I decided to do some online shopping and save money. This strategy offers me with a wide range of options, it has saved me thousands of dollars, reduced my stress level and also allowed me to furnish my house with great stuff yet close ones.
It does take some time in finding good quality furniture for the best prices online, but these tricks can assist you with some decent buying decisions.
Not very many Internet retailers offer unique things. You can discover most furniture, particularly the kind you gather yourself, on many destinations. Complete a little examination shopping before you purchase by searching for three to five stores that offer the furniture you need. Note the cost of the things, shipping costs, any assessment charges, and if the store charges for return transportation or re-stocking.

More than a decade ago, the Rye City Lions Club got together with the Rye High Athletic Department to choose a Garnet senior as Athlete of the Month. The program identifies and honors those teenagers whose lives embody the Lions Club International mission of service to the community.
Of course, athletic ability is the entry point. But equally important are academic achievement, participation in school extra-curricular activities, and, naturally, community service. The Lions must have been thinking of Rachael Adelson when they came up with the award.
Since Coach Moynihan mentioned the classroom, let’s look at Rachael’s record: She has a GPA of 101. Her combined SAT scores are over 1,500, with perfect 800s on both the Biology and Math 2 SATs. If you can think of an Advanced Placement STEM course, she’s excelled in it, along with History, Government, and Spanish.
Given the above, you won’t be surprised to learn Rachael’s a member of the National Honor Society and the National Music Honor Society (violin), and is a National Merit Scholar Commended Student, and a West Point Book Award recipient. She’s deciding between Cornell and M.I T. and pursuing a career in either engineering or an allied science.
You want extra-curriculars? Rachael has served as a math tutor, a member of the Spanish Club, and belongs to Varsity Athletes Against Substance Abuse. What’s more, she was a nationally-ranked fencer as a pre-teen.
Rachael has logged over 250 hours of community service, both as a Rye Youth Soccer coach and volunteer and a Madricha-in-Training, or youth leader, teaching the Hebrew language, prayers, and Jewish culture at Rye Community Synagogue. Last summer she shadowed a surgeon and observed pre- and post-operative procedures (repairing an abdominal aortic aneurism) at the Vascular Institute of the Rockies in Denver.

The shades of healthily growing forest and fruit-bearing trees on the steep slope of Kawa-Kawa Hill near Ligao City, give thousands of people from all walks of life, who struggle their way to its summit during the weekend, a perfect cover from the scorching heat of the noontime sun.
The mass trek over the winding, narrow concrete walkway was for the solemn celebration of the Way of the Cross, a Lenten event that has made the dramatically unique peak standing 236-meter above the sea level not just a stunning ecotourism destination but a religious landmark that only this quietly growing Bicol city could offer.
At the huge parking area along entrance of the place, dozens of private cars, buses and jeepneys and hundreds of motorcycles that took these people from different parts of Bicol and other places of the country are neatly arranged on standby.
From the national highway, two kilometers away, Kawa-Kawa Hill sits deep on the edge of Barangay Tuburan, four kilometers from the city downtown, and can be seen as nothing but only one of the series of peaks walling the southeastern side of the village.
Reaching its summit, which could be done only on foot via a 500-meter ascending walkway, would tell an entirely different story -- from the back-breaking experience of negotiating the sharp slope to the stunning view that always gives new visitors an eye-popping amusement.
Nicknamed the “hill without a hilltop,” Kawa-Kawa’s summit comes as a thin wall that surprisingly encircles a sunken three-hectare plateau forming a sprawling flat surface that looks like an elegantly-landscaped amphitheater that is carpeted with carefully-mowed green grasses and serves as a playground, activity complex, horseback riding field and camping site.
From this sprawling lower ground, the surrounding view is nothing but all about the thickly vegetated surrounding wall and overhead is the round-shaped infinity of the sky.
Hence, the hill’s name is derived from such natural feature that resembles a “kawa” the local term for cauldron or Chinese wok.
The top of its rim, however, offers the panoramic view, on the northwestern side, of the entire city sitting amid an expansive green field of rice paddies crisscrossed by irrigation systems deriving water from rivers whose banks are guarded by concrete flood-control structures.
Such scenery draws sighs of confidence that the city, whose development is primarily focused on its agricultural communities, is assured of sufficiency in farm-sourced food supply.
The same direction also offers a full view of Mt. Masaraga---an extinct stratovolcano described as a forested, sharp-topped mountain with an elevation of 1,328 meters above the sea surface and located adjacent to the iconic Mayon Volcano whose upper part of its perfect cone shape could be viewed protruding over another nearby peak at the northeastern side of the hill.
The other side offers an amazing view of high forest-covered mountains shadowing vast farms on a wide plain that is so refreshing to look at.
The natural ambience and healthful surroundings offered by Kawa-Kawa Hill is supported by the gentle blowing of the wind that soothes every visitor’s body with cool and refreshing air even during summer -- when the blooming of sunflowers on established fields all over the place down to street sides, backyards flower gardens and public parks in the city -- is an impressive sight.
The city celebrates its yearly Foundation Day in May highlighted by its Sunflower Festival, a socio-cultural celebration and thanksgiving for what every Ligaueño has achieved during the year.
The narrow surface at the top of the hill’s rim that stretches 836 meters encircling its arena look-alike interior, as well as both sides of its wall, are teeming with trees standing along the undulating concrete walkway that also locates along, 10 of the 14 Stations of the Cross—the first four being placed along the way up starting from the halfway going to the summit.
Every Station, located a stone's throw away from each other, comes with bigger-than-life-size, finely-crafted concrete sculptures depicting the biblical events in the final life of Jesus--from His prosecution and crucifixion to entombment.
These revered structures were put in place over 10 years ago by then city mayor now Rep. Fernando Gonzalez of Albay’s third congressional district based on the idea introduced by the Carmelite Sisters who have their huge chapel and religious compound by the foot of the hill.
Since then, the place which Gonzalez and his group of developers privately owns and developed -- first as an ecotourism site by painstakingly nourishing its ecological assets—has become a magnet to tourists on a year-round basis and pilgrims during the Lenten weeks.
Although a private property, the hill and all facilities it has like open cottages, toilets, stage, kiosks, viewing decks, clubhouse and dining halls are open to the public for free.
Also, no space rental fee is collected from local entrepreneurs who maintain food shops, refreshment stalls and souvenir stores along its entrance and at the summit.
Garbage bins are all over the place, disallowing littering around the place so that there is n need for workers to maintain its cleanliness while security and medical personnel are deployed by the city government to provide assistance to visitors.
Last Saturday’s grand occasion, participated in by about 1,000 pilgrims and high school students representing several Albay dioceses, was for the Diocesan Youth Way of the Cross, now on its sixth year of being held at the Kawa-Kawa Hill.
Gonzalez -- who, as a devotee, walked barefoot all throughout the Via Crucis procession over a more than one-kilometer distance with his wife, former city mayor Lilia Gonzalez-- led the hundreds other devotees who joined the solemn celebration officiated by clergy people headed Albay Bishop Joel Baylon.
On Sunday, several other pilgrims arrived from various places of origins for the same ritual of their own which Tuburan villagers describe as part of season-long arrivals owing to its popularity as a Lenten destination established by Kawa-Kawa Hill.
Indeed, this astounding peak, kept more lovely and natural by the singing of the birds, is an out of this world venue for the nourishment of one’s soul and health as doing up there the Way of the Cross with the family, peers or friends is a healthier way to do it.

Public Liability insurance covers you against claims made by third parties or a client that has suffered an injury or damage to their property as a result of your business, premises or a product supplied. All businesses have some exposure to tortious liabilities.
A Tort, is a civil wrong that causes a claimant to suffer loss or harm resulting in legal liability for the person or business who commits the tortious act. A person or business shall be liable under tort, if he commits an act or omission which results in loss or damage to another. In order to establish the liability of the tort-feasor, it may not be necessary to prove that the tort-feasor intended to cause loss to the claimant. It is sufficient if the claimant establishes that the tort-feasor violated a legal obligation to take reasonable care, whether intentionally or not.
In the UAE, the principle of tortious liability is mainly accommodated under Federal Law No. (05) of 1985 on the issuance of the Civil Transactions Law (the "Civil Code"), under Articles 124, and 282 through 298. A very simplistic summary would be: Any harm done to another shall render the actor, though incapable of discretion, liability to make the harm good. The civil code mainly intends to safeguard personal security, property, reputation and economic interests of persons.
Public Liability claims can range from something as simple as a visitor slipping on a wet floor and even food poisoning from consuming the meal you prepared for a guest.
Do you own or rent a property such as a building, warehouse or an office?
Does your business involve work in public areas or visits to a client’s premises?
Does your business involve manufacture or distribution of any products?
If your answer is yes to any of the above, you have some level of exposure towards third parties and it is highly recommended to have a public liability insurance to cover these risks. You may additionally be required by contract to provide proof of such an insurance cover to your clients.
Public Liability Insurance offers cover against claims from Third Parties or clients up to the Limit specified in the policy. The Limits would include costs of legal defense and damages awarded by a court.
Limits can be offered from as low as AED 500,000 up to AED 100,000,000 on any one occurrence up to.
Obviously the limits required may depend on a requirement from a Free Zone or as contractually required for a Project.
Insurers maintain the right to defend claims and Insured’s aren’t allowed to offer any remedy or accept liability without written consent of the insurers.
Cover is usually offered on an “occurrence basis”. This means that as long as a covered event has “occurred” within the period of insurance, the policy will respond. So it doesn’t matter if the claim was made after the policy expired.
Public Liability Insurance covers the insured’s liabilities to pay damages to third parties (including claimant’s costs, fees and expenses) in accordance with the Law for bodily injury or property damages.
Any liability arising out of any owned or rented Motor vehicle.
PREMISES LIABILITY vs WORK AWAY LIABILITY?
Two types of Public Liability Insurance are typically sold in the UAE.
Premises Risks: Cover is provided only in respect of any third party claims arising out of your premises. This could be a visitor slipping on a wet floor in your office or a Fire starting at your office and spreading to a neighbor.
Work Away: Cover is provided in respect of any third party claims arising out of your business activities. This could be from damage to a client’s property while you carry out some work there or injury to general public while carrying out your business in a public area.
Depending on your business and risk exposure, your advisor will be able to recommend the right covers for you.

text: When The Ph.D. Trap was first published in 1987, it hit academe like a bombshell. Wilfred Cude dared to pull back the veil of graduate school life to expose the harsh realities of modern advanced study. Using statistics, academic history, and diverse intellectual traditions, Cude revealed the Ph.D. program in most disciplines to be savage, mechanical, and cruel - an exploitative construct that often frustrates legitimate intellectual inquiry, shatters viable career expectations, and mangles personal and professional relations. In the years since, an outpouring of books, articles, and statistical data delineating serious weaknesses in contemporary higher education has provided a wealth of evidence supporting Cude’s original thesis. The Ph.D. Trap Revisited amplifies Cude’s arguments, with a synthesis and analysis of new data and information. Topics examined include the grad school numbers game, the rogue professor, muddles in methodology, the perils of apprenticeship, ethics and economics, existing alternatives, and recommendations for change. In an age of increasingly unchecked proliferation of the Ph.D. degree throughout academic institutions in the western world, Cude’s work is a tonic.

A student-teacher ratio expresses the relationship between the number of students enrolled in a school, district, or education system and the number of “full-time equivalent” teachers employed by the school, district, or system. For example, a student-teacher ratio of 10:1 indicates that there are ten students for every full-time equivalent teaching position. In public schools, the term full-time equivalent (often abbreviated as “FTE”) is a standard measure of teaching capacity that represents both full-time teachers (each full-time teacher is counted as one FTE) and part-time teachers (two half-time teachers, for example, would count as one FTE).
It should be noted that most schools, districts, and states count all “instructional staff” as teachers when calculating student-teacher ratios and full-time equivalencies. For this reason, a school might have 52.5 full-time equivalent teachers, which may include only 40 staff members who might be considered “teachers” in the more narrow or traditional sense of the term. The instructional staff in a given school may include librarians, speech therapists, and other academic-support specialists or licensed teaching staff who may not have traditionally defined classroom-teaching roles. For this reason, a student-teacher ratio of 10:1 does not mean that the average class size in a school is ten students. To better illustrate this issue, for example, one study found that the average difference between student-teacher ratios and average class sizes in a selection of schools was between nine and ten students. In this case, a school with a student-teacher ratio of 20:1 would likely have an average class size closer to 30. For a related discussion, see class size.
Because student-teacher ratios are a general way to measure teacher workloads and resource allocations in public schools, as well as the amount of individual attention a child is likely to receive from teachers, student-teacher ratios are often used as broad indicators of the overall quality of a school, district, or education system. In addition, “ideal” student-teacher ratios will depend on a wide variety of complex factors, including the age and academic needs of the students represented in the ratio (younger children or higher-need student populations typically require more time, attention, and instructional support from teachers) or the experience, skill, and effectiveness of the teachers (highly skilled teachers may be able to achieve better academic results with larger classes than less skilled teachers with smaller classes).
Student-teacher ratios also directly affect per-pupil spending—or the average amount of money spent to educate students in a school, district, or education system. For example, the salaries and benefits paid to teachers and instructional staff can account for up to 75 percent of per-pupil expenditures, so higher student-teacher ratios will typically result in lower per-pupil expenditures.
In recent decades, a wide variety of school-reform strategies and initiatives—at the level of state and federal policy, as well as in individual schools and districts—have focused on decreasing student-teacher ratios as a strategy for improving the academic performance of students. The basic rationale is that teachers with fewer students will be able to devote more time and attention to each student, which will increase their chances of improving learning outcomes. Yet because reducing student-teacher ratios generally requires the hiring of additional teachers, possibly even a significant number of teachers (in the case of states and large school districts), some ratio-reduction policies can entail significant increases in educational expenditures.
One of the desired benefits of lower student-teacher ratios is the increased amount of individual attention that students are more likely to receive when schools have more instructional and support staff per student. In addition to hiring more instructional staff, schools may also use a wide variety of alternative instructional or school-configuration strategies—such as advisories, personalized learning, teaming, or “small learning communities,” to name just a few—that are intended to achieve the same academic results as schools with lower student-teacher ratios. In small learning communities, to use just one example, students are typically paired with teachers, counselors, and support specialists who, over time, get to know students and their specific learning needs well, enabling them to educate the students more effectively. Even though the average student-teacher ratio in a school may not change in small learning community settings, students will be grouped and supported in ways that can potentially reproduce the benefits of lower student-teacher ratios.
Lower student-teacher ratios may also become the target of or rationale for reforms and policies aimed at reducing educational expenditures. For example, reformers and policy makers may use comparisons of student-teacher ratios from place to place, and the results achieved by different systems, as a rationale for justifying higher student-teacher ratios as a mechanism for reducing costs.
Debates related to student-teacher ratios tend to be focused on either educational expenditures or the effects of class size, and on whether simply reducing student-teacher ratios will actually improve academic achievement in a school, district, or education system. Research studies on student-teacher ratios and academic achievement have found mixed results: some indicate that lower student-teacher ratios in schools produce educational benefits for students; others suggest that teaching skill and quality are the main factors, and that hiring more teachers—who may not necessarily be more experienced or skilled—will simply increase educational costs without producing the desired results for schools and students.
In some cases, educators may also disagree over the precise point at which students begin to benefit from lower student-teacher ratios. Some research evidence suggests, for example, that reducing ratios may not have a beneficial effect on student achievement until the average ratio drops below at least 20:1, or that educational benefits are only measurable when student-teacher ratios fall to 18:1 or lower.

Why won’t my documents rotate properly? This is a common occurrence for frustrated smartphone users. A new technique has been devised to correct a smartphone's orientation to overcome this annoyance.
The new technique, from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, tracks the rotation sensor in a smartphone to improve document rotation. This deals with a problem that arises when users take document photographs using smartphones. Here the images become parallel to the documents on a flat surface, sometimes causing problems when they are rotated.
If you try to take photographs of something like a poster or a brochure and then view the images, it can sometimes occur that the images documents have the wrong orientation (such as rotating 90 degrees). If you try and compensate by rotating your smartphone 90 degrees in the opposition direction, the document photos can sometimes also rotate at the same time, leading to the image always being the wrong-way-round for the user. It is such orientation errors that the South Korean researchers have been looking into.
Heading up the research is Professor Uichin Lee, and he has found the key reasons for these orientation errors. The error is due to a common software glitch in screen rotation-tracking algorithms found with most commercial smartphones. The recent research found, for example, landscape document photos have an error rate of 93 percent across common smartphones.
Professor Lee explains: "When taking a photo of a document, your smartphone generally becomes parallel to the flat surface…Your phone fails to track the orientation if you make any rotation changes at that moment."
This happens due to software engineers designing the rotation tracking software in smartphones with an important assumption: that people will hold their phones vertically either in portrait or landscape orientations.
This can be overcome, however, by achieving orientation tracking through the measurement of the gravity direction using an acceleration sensor in the phone (for example, whether gravity falls into the portrait or landscape direction). To test this out, Professor Lee ran some studies. These were based on a technique which will correct a phone's orientation. This is by tracking the rotation sensor in a phone. For this to work it had to overcome a common aspect of photo taking using a smartphone since most people tilt the phone towards themselves (this is called a "micro-tilt phenomenon"). So it was important that smartphone software compensated for patterns of gravity distributions across the device.
By using new algorithms the researchers managed to accurately track smartphone orientation in document-capturing tasks at over 95 percent accuracy. This proved workable on both Google Android and Apple iPhones. It is hoped the new algorithm becomes commercialized.

"Quantitative analysis of the major constituents of St John's wort with" by Dhammitha H. Chasndrasekera, Michael Heinrich et al.
Chandrasekera, DH, Welham, KJ, Ashton, D, Middleton, R & Heinrich, M 2005, 'Quantitative analysis of the major constituents of St John's wort with HPLC-ESI-MS', Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, vol. 57, no. 12, pp. 1645-1652.
A method was developed to profile the major constituents of St John's wort extracts using high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS). The objective was to simultaneously separate, identify and quantify hyperforin, hypericin, pseudohypericin, rutin, hyperoside, isoquercetrin, quercitrin and chlorogenic acid using HPLC-MS. Quantification was performed using an external standardisation method with reference standards. The method consisted of two protocols: one for the analysis of flavonoids and glycosides and the other for the analysis of the more lipophilic hypericins and hyperforin. Both protocols used a reverse phase Luna phenyl hexyl column. The separation of the flavonoids and glycosides was achieved within 35 min and that of the hypericins and hyperforin within 9 min. The linear response range in ESI-MS was established for each compound and all had linear regression coefficient values greater than 0.97. Both protocols proved to be very specific for the constituents analysed. MS analysis showed no other signals within the analyte peaks. The method was robust and applicable to alcoholic tinctures, tablet/capsule extracts in various solvents and herb extracts. The method was applied to evaluate the phytopharmaceutical quality of St John's wort preparations available in the UK in order to test the method and investigate if they contain at least the main constituents and at what concentrations.

How smoking affects the heart with information on cardiovascular diseases.
Cardiovascular disease is a term that is used to describe a number of different diseases that affect the heart and the circulatory system, in particular the heart, the arteries and the blood vessels. In general terms, cardiovascular diseases are caused by an insufficient blood flow and supply through the arteries to the heart, brain and other organs of the body.
The reduced blood supply is caused as the main arteries become clogged up and narrow due to the build up of fatty deposits in the walls of the arteries. This is a process that will develop over a long period of time, although it usually starts when people are in their teens and there are several factors that may speed up the process and therefore put some people at a higher risk of suffering from a cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular diseases include heart attack, atherosclerosis, stroke, angina, peripheral vascular disease, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and aorta aneurysm.
What are the risk factors of cardiovascular disease?
All of these risks can be controlled or modified, in which case the risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease can be greatly reduced.
Smoking is the biggest risk factor out of all of the above and also contributes to the increase of some of the other factors.
Smoking accelerates the process of atherosclerosis, or the build up of fatty deposits and cholesterol in the arteries. Each time a person smokes a cigarette, the blood vessels become sticky from the chemicals in the tobacco smoke and this leads to fat collecting and sticking to the artery walls. Most of the other cardiovascular diseases and coronary heart diseases are caused by the progression of atherosclerosis.
Likewise, smoking also increases blood pressure and the heart rate, which means that the body will need more oxygen. The heart will have to work faster to obtain the necessary oxygen, which is in poor supply due to the effects of the carbon monoxide from the tobacco smoke and this will therefore lead to stress on the heart, which could cause angina or a sudden heart attack.
Not only this, but smoking decreases a person's tolerance to exercise, which would keep the heart strong, and it also increases the tendency for the blood to clot due to an increase in the levels of fibrinogen, a protein that can cause the blood to clot.
The heart is a really powerful and probably the most important muscle in the body. Blood from the heart and the lungs is pumped through the arteries to the capillaries and into the veins (blood vessels), which in turn are directed back to the heart and the lungs.
Oxygen is carried in the blood and is circulated around the whole of the body, nourishing the cells as it goes. A person needs a healthy supply of oxygen in order to stay healthy. Therefore if blood circulation is restricted or reduced, so is the amount of oxygen travelling around the body, which can result in any one of a number of cardiovascular diseases.
Atherosclerosis is the progressive thickening and hardening of the arteries through which the blood flows. Over time, fatty deposits, called plaques and cholesterol, build up in the arteries making them narrower and therefore restrict the flow of the blood to the brain, heart and the rest of the body.
Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of heart attacks, strokes, heart diseases and most other cardiovascular diseases.
Poisons and toxins in the tobacco smoke that enter the blood greatly contribute to and accelerate the build up of the plaque and smoking also raises the blood cholesterol levels.
When the process of atherosclerosis is so severe that it causes a blockage in the main artery that leads to the heart, a heart attack can occur. This is because blood and oxygen cannot pass through, a clot may form and the heart subsequently dies as a result. The risk of a heart attack is also increased from other effects of smoking as smoking robs the body of oxygen. As carbon monoxide enters the body when a person smokes a cigarette it attaches itself more easily to the blood cells than oxygen does thus depleting the oxygen supply even more.
Angina is caused when the blood supply to the heart is interrupted. This is usually caused by physical exercise but can also be caused by smoking. The result is a tightness and pain of the chest. Angina does not cause death as a heart attack may.
Cigarette smoking puts people at a higher risk of suffering a stroke. A stroke occurs when there is a lack of blood and oxygen reaching the brain or if an artery ruptures and blood escapes into the brain.
Lack of oxygen to the brain is caused by atherosclerosis in the main artery that leads to the brain, which restricts the blood flow and therefore the amount of oxygen that is carried with it. As the blood flow is restricted due to the fatty deposit build up, which narrows the arteries, a blood clot may form and a stroke will result as the tissues around the brain are starved of oxygen.
A stroke may also be caused by high blood pressure, which is in turn increased by smoking. The nicotine in the tobacco smoke causes the blood pressure to rise and this can result in heart failure as well.
This is the narrowing of the arteries that lead to the hands and feet due to the process of atherosclerosis. The result is a reduced blood supply and poor blood circulation to these areas, which may cause pain whilst walking and at worst may lead to amputation. 90% of sufferers of this disease are smokers.
Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, Australia and in the UK.
Strokes are the third leading cause of death.
Nearly 40% of people who die from smoking, die from some form of cardiovascular disease.
Smoking increases the risk of a heart attack by up to six times.
Women over 35 who use the contraceptive pill and smoke are at a high risk of suffering from heart disease.
Smoking increases the risk of a stroke by a third.
Heavy smokers are at a much higher risk of suffering from all the above diseases.
The development of atherosclerosis is increased by 50% in smokers.
Heart disease from smoking is increased in people under the age of 45.
Peripheral vascular disease risk is increased by 16 times in smokers.
The risk of cardiovascular disease increases with exposure to tobacco smoke.
The effects and benefits of giving up smoking on the cardiovascular system are immediate and greatly reduce the risk of suffering any one of these diseases.
If a smoker quits smoking, after 15 years he has the same risk of suffering from heart disease as a non-smoker.
Once a smoker stops smoking atherosclerosis is slowed down, the blood is less likely to clot and oxygen and blood can pass through the arteries more freely and more easily, which relieves stress on the heart.
Cholesterol levels are also reduced, which will slow the build up of cholesterol in the arteries and there will be much less carbon monoxide in the body, which means a greater supply of oxygen.
Blood pressure decreases and a person will find it much easier and more pleasurable to exercise, which will keep the heart as well as the rest of the body healthy.

Dancin' the Madison on "The Buddy Deane Show"
Clip from Shake, Rattle, and Roll: The Buddy Deane Scrapbook.
Buddy Deane clip - Potato Chips!
Here is a scene from John Waters "Hairspray" with the song "The Bird" by The Dutones.
Whoever Buddy Deen was, he did a decent Buddy Holly style recording. Better than the flip, this one is very much like early Bobby Vee and The Shadows.

Most people that are looking at installing an energy storage system (battery and battery inverter) don’t realise that every installation is different and there is no one size fits all. Installations are very dependent on whether there is already solar PV in place and the current electrical wiring situation at the premises.
With solar PV installations as long as you have suitable roof space you can install a system and the questions that need deciding are finding a reliable supplier / installer, working out the size of the PV system needed according to electricity usage and roof space and the size of the inverter required.
The medical centre was to be refurbished and part of the upgrade was to install a PV system with battery storage. The difficulty was allocating the space for battery storage that was safe for patients as well as staff. As is usual in a medical centre space is a premium and is used for medical related purposes as a priority.
GridEdge was recently asked to use our clean energy trailer with its Sodium nickel chloride (SoNick) battery to power a local cooking competition event to showcase local foods.
GridEdge was recently asked to power Melbourne’s 3 day Sustainable Living Festival’s “Off the Grid” tent with our clean energy trailer with its Sodium nickel chloride (SoNick) battery .
This annual festival, is held at Melbourne’s Federation Square and runs along the Yarra river with many stalls showcasing renewable energy, sustainable living practices and gardening and permaculture information.
Battery storage systems being installed in Australia look set to confirm earlier predictions that battery installations will treble in 2017.
Amongst the G20 countries, Australia’s emission reduction target – a reduction of 26-28% on a 2005 baseline – is unusually weak, nowhere near what is required for us to play our fair share in meeting 2°C Paris target.
The IPCC uses a synthesis of thousands of peer-reviewed scientific papers to assess the degree of risk at increasing levels of global average temperature.
› There is a significant difference in the degree of risk between the 1.5°C and 2.0°C Paris targets, with higher risks of damage to natural ecosystems and more intense and/or frequent extreme weather events for the 2.0°C target.

It seems that spring may be just around the corner, but we are still seeing some chilly temperatures at night. That being said, it’s possible that you may have seen a little critter scurrying across your kitchen floor. Mice will often invite themselves into your home during the winter months, in an attempt to keep warm like the rest of us. But don’t freak out! These fun facts about mice should ease your mind about your unexpected house guest.
Though it may seem that a mouse is just a mouse, there are actually 38 different species of mice. The Common House mouse is thought to be one of the most populated mammalian species, second only to humans.
Mice have the ability to convey different facial expressions, and even experience emotions.
They are able to communicate verbally. Mice use a very high frequency sound to talk that cannot be heard by human ears.
Male mice court females by “singing” to them. In fact, mice are one of four mammals that are able to sing! The others are whales, bats, and humans.
Since they can experience different moods and verbally communicate them to others, mice are also thought to be able to empathize with their friends.
Rodents are often thought of being dirty, but mice are actually incredibly clean, and organized! They even designate specific areas of their “home” for sleeping, eating, and going to the bathroom. However, their feces and urine do contain disease pathogens, so remember to use caution if you happen to find droppings within your home.
Mice can be very picky eaters. They will often eat their favorite foods first, and pick around things they don’t like as much.
They are very adventurous and love to explore! Mice enjoy climbing, and squeezing through tiny holes (which is probably how they found their way into your home).
The area that mice will explore is usually limited to a pretty small area. They typically only stray about 9-24 feet from their home.
A mouse’s tail is covered with tiny scales, which can help it climb up rough surfaces, including walls!
We know that you probably aren’t looking to add a stray pet mouse to your family. Feel free to contact the mouse control experts at American Pest to help catch any mice, or other pests, that may have made themselves at home in your house this winter.

The Wilsey Down Pub at Hallworthy organised a race night last Saturday, inviting Launceston YFC to organise and profit from the raffle. The evening was a very entertaining one, especially when some bets were placed unintentionally - poor Steve Butter had £7 whipped from his hand when buying a round, for a horse he had won from simply entering the room! Luckily for him, his horse came in first and so he walked away a happy man with £40!!
HUGE THANKS GO TO JANE BRENDON AND ALL AT THE WILSEY FOR THEIR KIND DONATION OF £250 TO OUR CHOSEN CHARITY, ATAXIA, ALONG WITH £70 RAFFLE MONEY.
Thank you to all who supported the night, plus Jonny Dymond (auctioneer).
The annual rose bowl is a fun speaking competition between the members of Launceston YFC. This year it was hosted by Roger Parsons (president), Mary Andrews and Janet Ham and consisted of three rounds. To begin, each member was given a Mr Men book, which they had to read, then give a book review on. Shortlisted members then had to auction the most random of objects, including an out-of-date can of beer! This didn't deter Alan Wadge from splashing his cash though! The final six then went head to head as teams of three, playing a game of 'Call my Bluff'. Congratualtions to Oli Stephens who took away the trophy and many thanks to our president and his assistants for a very entertaining evening.
The smell of fish led members to Tregida Seafood Unit at Pennygillam. With a range of locally caught fish beautifully displayed, members were informed of the full process of smoking, from selecting the fish to packaging and dispatching it (even as far as London).
It was interesting to look around the property and see the ranging gadgets and modcoms needed to prepare fish, along with the new packaging machine that provides an air tight seal. I am sure many members will be full of omega three, going by the amount of fish sold on the night!
Following months of practise as a club and weeks of work as a county, the cabaret team really wowed the crowd at the Hall for Cornwall on Sunday 13th March with their performance entitled, 'It's not an albatross'. Being the first time on stage as a team, the cast of approximately 100 members really did the county proud coming FIRST.
The next round is at Weston-Super-Mare on April 3rd (Mothers Day)! We look forward to as much support as possible, but beware, tickets are selling fast!
With prongs, dung and empty feeder bags at the ready, members spent their Thursday evening bagging dung. With the use of Timmy's brand spanking new bagger alongside the old ones, we soon filled approx 1,450 bags. A lovely spread followed, thanks to Maureen Shute and Audrey Retallick. Lets hope the aroma of dung soon fades - it's not the most desirable choice of aftershave/ perfume!
Watch out for Launceston YFC around the Launceston area tomorrow (Sunday 6th March), when we shall be selling these bags at a reasonable price of £1.50 in aid of charity.

Your child’s future prosperity shouldn’t be.
When you simultaneously invest in Tridel and 33seven solutions, you enjoy the benefits of tax-advantaged savings in the here-and-now whilst cultivating future wealth to ensure your child’s success isn’t left to chance.
Individually, each product is a purposeful commitment to your child’s financial future.
Together, they represent a lasting gift that opens up a world of unlimited possibilities for your children.
Your success is their opportunity.
In partnership with Tridel, Canada’s leading builder of condominium homes, purchasing a condo for your child has little to do with immediate residential plans and more to do with providing your children with a head-start that will extend far beyond your initial investment. Acquiring a Tridel condo will provide you with a high-quality residence that is built to last and a unique, stable investment that will continually prove the extraordinary value of ownership over the years.
Investing in assured assets while your children are young has many benefits that extend far beyond lifelong coverage. By transferring your wealth from yourself (a highly taxed jurisdiction) to your child (a significantly lower taxed jurisdiction), you can combine the immediate benefit of lifetime protection and tax-advantaged savings with dividend earning potential and long term affordability. An initial investment during your child’s early years will grow into an extremely profitable safety net for your children’s future success.
Your simultaneous investment in assured assets and Toronto’s condo market is a high performing strategy that has historically outperformed traditional investment models.
Tridel and 33seven do not guarantee returns.
