text: The SDES project has been implemented and sponsored by US-AID since April, 1 1994. The goal of the project is to reduce Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in East Java Province from 2.2 (1994) to 2.0 by year 5 of SDES project ending in 1999. The general objective is to develop community awareness and promote the acceptance of family planning, and to ensure that families have access to the most appropriate methods for their needs. To achieve the above objectives, several programs and activities have been implemented since April 1994. Within the periode of six years, some progress of the programs have been achieved. The problem is how far the impact or changing of program achievements after the implementation of the SDES project. Based on this problem, an analysis of program achievements is needed. The analysis is focused on the comparation of program achievements either in SDES areas and Non-SDES areas or before and after the project implementation. In general, the main objective of this analysis is to know how far, actually, the impact· or changing of program achievements after six year implementation of SDES project. The analysis was focussing on the comparation of program achievements either in SDES and Non-SDES areas or before and after the project implementation.Specifically, the objectives of the comparative analysis is concentrated on the several indicators or aspects. The types of analysis used is a combination time series analysis with an intervention and non-intervention areas. In time series analysis, Statistical test has been applied to determine effective percentage changes of program achievements. In this analysis, data which have been used was secondary data of FY 1992/93-1999/00. Those data was collected on bases of time and areas or regencies (SDES and non SDES areas). The SDES project has been implemented for six years and several innovative intervention or activities have been carried out. Within the six year periode, some progress of programe In terms of the impacts or changing have been achieved and the analysis of this isssues was also conducted and statistical analysis was also applied.

text: The Spanish Central System is a Cenozoic pop-up with an E-W to NE-SW orientation that affects all the crust (thick-skinned tectonics). It shows antiform geometry in the upper crust with thickening in the lower crust. Together with the Iberian Chain it constitutes the most prominent mountainous structure of the Pyrenean foreland. The evolutionary patterns concerning the paleotopography of the interior of the Peninsula can be established by an analysis of the following data: gravimetric, topographical, macro and micro tectonic, sedimentological (infilling of the sedimentary basins of the relative foreland), P-T-t path from apatite fission tracks, paleoseismic and instrumental seismicity. Deformation is clearly asymmetric in the Central System as evidenced by the existence of an unique, large (crustal-scale) thrust at its southern border, while in the northern one there is a normal sequence of north verging thrusts, towards the Duero Basin, whose activity ended during the Lower Miocene. This deformation was accomplished under triaxial compression, Oligocene-Lower Miocene in age, marked by NW-SE to NNW-SSE shortening. Locally orientations of paleostresses deviate from that of the regional tensor, following a period of relative tectonic quiescence. During the Upper Miocene-Pliocene, a reactivation of constrictive stress occurred and some structures underwent rejuvenation as a consequence of the action of tectonic stresses similar to those of today (uniaxial extension to strike-slip with NW-SE shortening direction). However, the westernmost areas show continuous activity throughout the whole of the Tertiary, with no apparent pulses. At the present time there is a moderate seismic activity in the Central System related to faults that were active during the Cenozoic, with the same kinematic characteristics. © 2007.

Laia Abril: Lobismuller

Binding: Hardcover
Language: Español
Pages: 126
Measurements: 25.00 x 28.00 cm
The Werewolf of Allariz was a woman who lived in 19th-century Spain. Known as Manuel Blanco Romasanta, but named Manuela at birth, the legendary werewolfnow believed to have lived with a rare syndrome of intersexualitywas Spains first documented serial killer.
Beautiful and eerie, Lobismuller reconstructs from a female perspective the story of the most enigmatic and bloodthirsty criminal in Spanish history. Earning the title of the Tallow Man, due to his habit of converting his victims fat into high-quality soap, Manuel admitted to nine murders at his 1853 trial. And yet he pleaded not guilty, for he was suffering, he claimed, from a curse that turned him into a wolf.
This eerily beautiful artists book by Spanish photographer Laia Abril, who studied at the International Center of Photography in New York and worked at COLORS magazine, is an unusual document of a haunting history in which the forces of criminality, sexuality and social marginalization coalesced into something deadly.

It is never too late to start logging your sources. Knowing where you gathered particular details on an ancestor is very important in your research. When evaluating incongruous information, reviewing which source the details are from can help you decide what is more accurate. Another reason to keep track of your sources is so others can verify or follow-up on your research.
Some ways you can keep track of where you found information on your ancestors are:
1. Maintain a log of sources in a notebook or on your genealogy software.
2. Copy the title page of sources you have viewed.
3. Note materials you have searched, but in which you did not find information. It prevents you from repeatedly returning to the same source.

, name-like word. Given this impasse, most translations often just completely ignore any meaning the kanji of a name have and simply write it phonetically in English, which, although not incorrect, belies the often deep relationship a character's persona has with the meaning implied in his or her name's kanji.
Hanahomura and Hanabi's names are written thus: 華焰 (Hanahomura) and 華火 (Hanabi). The word hanabi when written with different kanji () means firework; yet, interestingly enough, in this case, these two words are actually not that far off. Both literally mean "flower fire," it's just that the name Hanabi uses a different kanji for flower. On top of this, the kanji read "homura" in Hanahomura's name is a word all its own; it means "flames" or "blaze." A grown-up fire, if you will. So, when the little flower fire Hanabi grows up, she may become like Hanahomura, a flower blaze.
Moving on to the epithets of the Juppongatana, sadly most of them are pretty straight forward, but Anji's actually has an interesting back story. I've translated what he is called, Myouou (明王) as The Radiant King not because that is just one way to read the kanji, but because the Buddhist concept that the term myouou refers to is actually translated that way in Buddhist texts. The term myouou refers to the vidyaraja, the third, wrathful, type of Buddhist deity, after Buddhas and bodhisattvas. One commonly named vidyaraja in Japanese fiction is Fudou Myouou.
The name of Shishio's final attack also has roots in mythology. The word Kagutsuchi (火産霊神) in Japanese, which literally means fire-birthing spirit god, is actually the name of the Shinto god of fire. He is one of the sons of Izanami and Izanagi. According to Shinto texts, his birth comes at the end of the creation of the world and signifies the beginning of death. A rather fitting name for a final attack, isn't it?
Even Sameo and his little army have a bit of a quirk to their names. Sameo's first name is written 鮫男, and it literally means "shark man." His army's name is the Wadatsumi Kouheidan, written thus: 引原海鮫兵団. Wadatsumi is an actual Japanese name, but when written differently (海神) refers to a type of sea demon (also often called an umibozu). The "kou" in "kouhei" is the same kanji that is in Sameo's first name; shark.
On a cultural note, the fact that this story takes place pretty much entirely in a brothel colors its language, revealing some interesting facts about feudal-era Japanese brothel culture. In particular, there are quite a few terms used exclusively in the context of prostitution that are in this story, and not all of them were as translatable as I'd have liked, so I want to share here what I wasn't able to in the main body of the translation.
To begin with, there are a lot of specific terms for prostitutes themselves. Although the term geisha is often used in Western culture to refer to Japanese prostitutes in general, this is actually incorrect. The general term is yuujo, (遊女) or "play girl." The term used most often in this work, though, is the more "dignified" oiran (花魁), which is probably closer to "courtesan." By the way, the first kanji in that word means flower (Hanahomura and Hanabi's names weren't picked at random). Very highly sought-after prostitutes, those of a rank higher than any of the other girls working at their brothel, are called chuusan (昼三), a word I've left as is in the translation. Newly-minted prostitutes that have just begun working were apparently called shinzou (新造), which I have translated as "newbie." This is what Hanabi is. Very young girls like Akari and Kagari that live and "work" (in a non-sexual way, I hope) in a brothel as aids to the older prostitutes are called kamuro (禿). Being that English doesn't really have a term for this kind of occupation, I've left this too as it is in the translation.
The red-light district also has many names; pleasure quarter (歓楽街), play district (遊郭), etc., but the term most often used in the one-shot is actually the name of a real, historical and modern red-light district in the city of Tokyo—Yoshiwara. Additionally, the life of prostitution itself is actually sometimes referred to as "a world of suffering," or kugai (苦界).
That brings this rambling novel of a post to an end. If you've made it all the way here, I thank you for your attention. I thank you for taking time out of your day to read my translations. And I thank you for supporting all of us here at MangaStream.
As always, feel free to ask any questions about the one-shot itself or the translations in the comments below; I'll try my best to answer them.

Lost in Translation: Happy and Happiness
Posted Mar 15th, 2015 by loki
Hi there, friends. It's been a while.
If you haven't, you should go check out the Mashima one-shot that follows at the end of the latest FT Zero chapter —"Happy, the Blue Cat."
I'm writing this blog post because that short seven-page work actually had quite the impact on me; I was hoping to share a bit about it with you all. So go read it if you haven't already! This post isn't going anywhere.
First things first; the Great East Japan Earthquake is actually referred to in Japanese as "The Great Disaster" (東日本大震災, Higashi Nihon Dai Shinsai). That should be enough to tell you how much of an effect it had on Japan and its people.
The whole theme of "Happy = happiness" as detailed in the note at the end of the chapter loses a bit of its poignance when translated from Japanese to English, so in an effort to get at least a little bit of that magic back, I thought I'd go into it a bit more.
Basically, whenever the word "Happy" shows up in the one-shot, it's written in katakana (ハッピー), identically to how it appears when it is used to indicate the name of the blue cat Happy. Although most Japanese people understand enough English to understand that this means "happy" as in the emotion, this word, when written in katakana and used as it is in this work, would be read first and foremost as a name, not a word in and of itself. It's sort of like if someone was named Mark; despite the fact that this is an actual English word that means marking, when you see the word "Mark" written like that, you automatically know it is a name.
The point of this one-shot is to play with this idea; on the last page, Mashima writes the word I've translated as "happiness" in Japanese, indicating that it is meant to be taken to literally mean just that. This, coupled with the statement on the preceding page that says that "my name is in everyone's hearts," completes the metaphor that "Happy = happiness." That is, everything Happy's said about his own name throughout the one-shot applies to the concept of happiness itself.
Quite a cute and inspiring little message, isn't it?
I know the world is a crappy, saddening place sometimes. Probably most of the time. But try to stay strong. And maybe, just maybe, do me and Happy a favor today. Think of that tiny little happiness in your heart and try to smile.

Signaling System 7 (SS7) is architecture for performing out-of-band
signaling in support of the call-establishment, billing, routing,
and information-exchange functions of the public switched telephone
network (PSTN). It identifies functions to be performed by a signaling-system
network and a protocol to enable their performance.
What is Signaling?
refers to the exchange of information between call components
required to provide and maintain service.
of the PSTN, we exchange signaling with network elements all the
time. Examples of signaling between a telephone user and the telephone
network include: dialing digits, providing dial tone, accessing
a voice mailbox, sending a call-waiting tone. SS7 is a means by
which elements of the telephone network exchange information.
Information is conveyed in the form of messages. SS7 messages
can convey information such as:
" I'm forwarding to you a call placed from _PHONE_ to
_PHONE_. Look for it on trunk 067.
" Someone just dialed _PHONE_. Where do I route the
" The called subscriber for the call on trunk 11 is busy.
Release the call and play a busy tone.
" The route to XXX is congested. Please don't send any messages
to XXX unless they are of priority 2 or higher.
" I'm taking trunk 143 out of service for maintenance.
" SS7 is characterized by high-speed packet data and out-of-band
What is Out-of-Band
signaling is signaling that does not take place over the same
path as the conversation.
We are used
to thinking of signaling as being in-band. We hear dial tone,
dial digits, and hear ringing over the same channel on the same
pair of wires. When the call completes, we talk over the same
path that was used for the signaling. Traditional telephony used
to work in this way as well. The signals to set up a call between
one switch and another always took place over the same trunk that
would eventually carry the call. Signaling took the form of a
series of multi frequency (MF) tones, much like touch tone dialing
signaling establishes a separate digital channel for the exchange
of signaling information. This channel is called a signaling link.
Signaling links are used to carry all the necessary signaling
messages between nodes. Thus, when a call is placed, the dialed
digits, trunk selected, and other pertinent information are sent
between switches using their signaling links, rather than the
trunks which will ultimately carry the conversation. Today, signaling
links carry information at a rate of 56 or 64 kbps. It is interesting
to note that while SS7 is used only for signaling between network
elements, the ISDN D channel extends the concept of out-of-band
signaling to the interface between the subscriber and the switch.
With ISDN service, signaling that must be conveyed between the
user station and the local switch is carried on a separate digital
channel called the D channel. The voice or data which comprise
the call is carried on one or more B channels.
signaling has several advantages that make it more desirable than
traditional in-band signaling.
" It allows for the transport of more data at higher speeds
(56 kbps can carry data much faster than MF out pulsing).
" It allows for signaling at any time in the entire duration
of the call, not only at the beginning.
" It enables signaling to network elements to which there
is no direct trunk connection.

The Oberth class was a class of multi-role Federation starships from the 23rd to late 24th centuries, named for German rocket pioneer Hermann Oberth. (Star Trek Encyclopdia)
Ships of this class were frequently confused for the smaller Gagarin-class ships that were its predecessors. (Gagarin-Class Research Vessel)
Glenn-class and Garneau-class ships may be the name of the Gagarin-class in alternate continuities. In the Orion Press continuity, there was a subclass of the Oberths known as the Mercury VII series.
This class of starship was very versatile, used by both Starfleet and civilian crews, for scouting missions, scientific surveys and transporting crew and civilians. The standard crew complement was 71. Armaments consisted of 2 Type 8 phaser turrets and one aft-firing photon torpedo tube. (Strategic Design: Oberth Class NX-602 Starship Prototype: External Blueprints and Internal Deck Plans)
With the advent of newer designs such as the Nova-class and Korolev-class vessels the Oberth began to be replaced. As vessel went for refit Starfleet retires them and in some cases donating them to civilian science organizations. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 1: The Ships of Starfleet)

Trump Wants to Stop Certain Immigrants From Working — But Will That Really Save American Jobs?
trump scowls at the christmas tree lighting
President Trump wants to end work authorization programs for the spouses of certain legal immigrants. | Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty Images
In an effort to continue paving the way for President Trump's "Buy American, Hire American" executive order, the Trump administration is proposing to end work authorization for people with H-4 dependent visas. This means that the spouses of highly-skilled legal immigrants would be unable to legally work in the country. Between this new proposal and the goals surrounding the RAISE (Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment) act, the overarching question is: Does reducing immigration actually save American jobs?
While the general train of logic suggests reducing immigration would increase jobs for American workers, you may be surprised to find that research suggests otherwise. Here's why stopping certain immigrants from working in the United States may not improve the job market for native workers.
1. Immigration is good for the economy
Despite President Trump saying otherwise, immigration has been proven to benefit the economy. In fact, it's immigrants that help grow the labor force and bolster entrepreneurship to grow the U.S. economy. According to the National Academy of Sciences, "In short, the prospects for long-run economic growth in the United States would be considerably dimmed without the contributions of high-skilled immigrants."
NextImmigrants aren't stealing jobs from native workers.
2. Immigrant and native workers with low education levels aren't actually competing against one another

Through a study of 16 million American employees not holding a high school diploma, Urban's Maria E. Enchautegui's findings were illuminating. Native and immigrant workers with a low education level aren't likely to compete for the same jobs. You see, immigrant workers typically have limited English language and technical skills. This allows American workers to take advantage of jobs like cashiers, truck drivers, and home-health workers. On the other hand, immigrant workers take advantage of manual labor-intensive positions that don't require heavy communication skills.
NextImmigrant workers help create opportunities for other Americans.
3. Highly-skilled immigrants propel innovations that create jobs for American workers

Sixty-six percent of the high-skilled immigrants working on H-1B visas are employed in Silicon Valley. While some American workers have been displaced from their jobs due to the H-1B visas, evidence proves that the overall economic impact remains positive. Generally speaking, the innovations developed by highly-skilled immigrants continue to create jobs for working-class Americans.
NextImmigrants are needed to fill many jobs.
4. By 2022, there will be 4 million new jobs for individuals not holding high school diplomas

The number of Americans not holding a high school diploma is decreasing. All the while, the number of immigrants without high school diplomas is increasing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 15.6 million jobs are expected to be added to the labor force by 2022. Of that number, 4 million of those new jobs will need to be filled by workers not holding a high school diploma.
Next: Companies can be more profitable when they hire immigrants.
5. Immigrants actually strengthen the profitability of American companies

Hiring immigrant workers can increase the profitability of American companies |
In terms of the economy as a whole, immigrants tend to strengthen the overall profitability of American companies. Many businesses would not be able to stay afloat if it weren't for the low-wages they manage to pay immigrant workers. For example, let's consider a general contractor. When a general contractor bids to take on jobs, the company hires an American supervisor to oversee the project and the immigrant workers. Furthermore, considering the low-wage cost of immigrant workers, contractors are able to take on more projects.
NextImmigrants aren't pushing down wages for American workers.
6. The impact of immigrants on wages hasn't been negative

Immigrants workers don't depress wages. |
Because immigration's overall impact on the economy is positive, there is no surprise that the impact on wages is similar. According to research conducted by Gianmarco Ottaviano and UC Davis's Giovanni Peri, it is because of immigration that high school dropouts here in the United States have seen a 0.6 percent increase in their wages.
Next: Immigrants help make the U.S. economy more productive.
7. Immigration contributes to productivity growth

Productivity growth here in the United States is directly linked to the low wages employers manage to pay immigrant workers. Consider the restaurant business. Many servers and bartenders wouldn't have jobs if it wasn't for the low-wages paid to immigrants working in the kitchens. Immigrants are the reason many American companies are able to experience continued growth.
NextThe drawbacks to immigration.
8. There are drawbacks

It would be ludicrous to suggest that immigrant workers aren't taking any jobs from American workers. Certainly, there are times when natives receive the short end of the stick in the job market. For example, when the economy takes a turn for the worse, older high school dropouts face the worst odds of re-entering the labor market. This is mostly due to lower-paid immigrants swooping in, for say, a janitorial position. However, by and large, the economy sees more growth because immigrants than it ever would without them.

, forms in marine and non-marine (lacustrine) evaporite deposits.
Evaporite minerals are geologically important because they clearly are related to the environmental conditions that existed at the time of their deposition, namely arid.
They also can be easily recrystallized in laboratories enabling sedimentologists to obtain their specific characteristics of formation, such as temperature, solution concentrations, etc.
Blodite also forms as an efflorescence on cave and mine walls.
mineral is one that forms literally out of thin air, as a "precipitate" of sorts from fumes concentrated with the mineral's chemical makeup.
Crystals of blodite are scarce, but well formed crystals can show an intricate, multi-facetted, monoclinic form.
Specimens of blodite should be stored in a sealed container as they can dry out and crumble.
- Color is white, colorless, gray, yellow. red, green or blue-green.
- Luster is vitreous.
- Transparency: Specimens are translucent to transparent.
- Crystal System is monoclinic; 2/m.
- Crystal Habits include granular, earthy and encrusting masses.
Individual intricate, multi-facetted, prismatic crystals are uncommon.
- Hardness is 2.5 - 3.
- Specific Gravity is approximately 2.2 - 2.3 (light for translucent minerals).
- Streak is white.
- Other Characteristics: Salty taste.
- Associated Minerals include
and other more rare evaporite minerals.
- Notable Occurrences include the type locality of Chuquicamata, Antofagasta, Atacama Desert, Chile as well as Soda Lake and other California sites and Coconino, Arizona, USA; Germany; Russia; Austria; Poland and India.
- Best Field Indicators are associations, density, crystal habit, taste and environment of formation.

To help create an environment in which students can safely relax, enjoy lunch and socialize appropriately it is important that students follow the general behavior guidelines of the school. In addition to those, some rules are specifically targeted for the cafeteria. Students should:
- Sit appropriately - feet under the table and facing forward;
- Use indoor voices;
- Raise hand for assistance;
- Eat your own food - food may not be shared because of allergy issues.


Compassion Focused therapy (CFT)
This is a small part of CFT by Dr Paul Gilbert that I think you could very usefully use with your children when they have had some kind of argument or fall out with someone. It works by acknowledging that when you are in different emotional states, your behaviour, thoughts and the memories you bring to mind are very much influenced by these emotional states. For the sake of this helping your children to consider a situation, the states to consider are: angry, anxious, sad and lastly, compassionate.
So say for example, your child has fallen out with someone because they had said, 'you are a really nasty person.' Ask you child to think of how angry they are and ask them what their angry self is thinking, how it is remembering the situation and how it wants to behave. So then ask the same questions of the anxious (worrying) self. Next ask what the sad part would be thinking, recalling and likely to behave. Finally ask the same questions of your child's compassionate state. So as a simplified example, the angry part might hate the other child and possibly want to hurt her, the anxious part might be worried that others also think he is nasty and that others might get involved, the sad part might be wondering if what they said was true and the compassionate part would wonder if their friend was mean because they are struggling with something and want to help them.
Now clearly 'compassion' needs some explaining to most children. You can describe it as the part that is in everyone, that wishes to understand, help and stop the suffering of others. It involves putting the other person in a position of just as much (if not more) importance as ourselves and this can be hard for some children, especially if they tend to be most comfortable being angry. To access our compassionate self, Gilbert suggests we start simply by taking deeper and longer breaths to trigger our parasympathetic system. (e.g. breathe in for the count of six and then breathe out for the count of six.) In the past I have accessed this by meditating upon all the good things about the relationship which is suffering and imagining warmth between myself and the other person. When your child is in this state they will find they will be able to see the situation from different angles and have much more resource with which to tackle the issue affecting the relationship.

Feb. 17, 1998 EUGENE, Ore.--Electrical engineers soon will have a new tool for use in designing electronic circuitry, including microelectronic devices such as computer chips, thanks to pioneering research by a University of Oregon chemist.
As reported in the Dec. 19 issue of Science magazine, Mark Lonergan has demonstrated the concept of a "tunable diode," a new type of electronic device for controlling electricity.
The appearance of the article in this prestigious publication comes almost exactly 50 years after the discovery of the transistor by three researchers, one of whom, the late Walter Brattain, earned a master's degree from the University of Oregon in 1926. Brattain and his collaborators, John Bardeen and William Shockley, jointly received the 1956 Nobel Prize in physics.
Lonergan's realization of the tunable diode relies on the special properties of a relatively new class of materials known as conducting polymers. Presently, there is no direct analog to the tunable diode based on more conventional materials.
"The unique properties of this device hopefully will open new avenues for electrical engineers in the design of circuitry for the useful control and manipulation of electrical energy," Lonergan says.
The manipulation of energy in electrical circuits can be likened to the control of traffic on a highway system. In each case, specialized structures exert control over the system's traffic. Conventional diodes can be viewed as one kind of traffic control device--essentially a one-way street for electricity. The tunable diode remains a one-way street, but it offers the added flexibility of a variable number of lanes.
Specific applications of the tunable diode and its unique characteristics have yet to be devised. Lonergan notes, however, that "if the concept of the tunable diode can be successfully transferred into a practical device, it may one day join the transistor, resistor and capacitor as a common component found in a myriad of new electronic devices. It is a new tool, and the advent of any new tool opens new possibilities."
Lonergan joined the UO chemistry faculty in 1996 as an assistant professor. Originally from Hillsboro, Ore., he attended the University of Oregon as an undergraduate, earning degrees in mathematics and chemistry with summa cum laude honors in 1990.

An exploration of electronic-classical and classic-electronic: Chapelier Fou Interview
French musician and producer Chapelier Fou has, despite his relatively young age, managed to strike a musical harmony foreign to that of even seasoned musicians. His music is a blend of frantic and eccentric electronic rhythms resting underneath featured smooth violin melodies, a pleasure both to the ear and the intellect.
His classical background and undeniable skill as a violinist combines with his uniquely inventive and precise approach to electronic music production to create a sound distinct and unforgettable; a vibrant portrait consisting of both modern and classical elements.
During his recent tour of Australia on the back of his recent release Invisible, Cyclic Defrost asked questions of the "electro-glitch-classical mastermind" to get an insight into his creative process, his views on his music, and the way in which he translates the madness of his recorded material to a live setting.
Cyclic Defrost: How have you worked to maintain a balance between the acoustic and electronic elements of your music?
Chapelier Fou: I've been classically trained since I was a kid. So, classical, acoustic instruments are what put me into music and thus remain my most natural way to play. However on the other hand, I've come to composition mostly with computer music. I'd say that the electronics and computers are my compositional base while acoustic instruments are more into freedom and feeling without too much thinkingâ€¦
Do you find that they complement each other, or is there one that you put more focus on when writing?
I think I couldn't work without a computer, at least not when I am making music alone. It does allow me to put concepts and abstract thinking into music, which is something I really like to do, but when it comes to melodies and expression, nothing can replace an instrument made of wood.
Invisible goes to highlight your strengths both with production and with instrumentation, demonstrating your diversity as an artist. Did you take into consideration maintaining this balance when writing the tracks?
I'm not trying to demonstrate anything, I am just proposing something that is, I guess, the consequence of what I am interested in at a certain time. Recently I've been really into old analog synthesizers and drum machines, FM synthesis and randomizing rhythms.
With the violin being your main instrument, do you structure your writing process around it, or is it just another element of your diverse ensemble?
It totally depends. I don't have any systematic way of working. Ideas could come from the violin, but most of the time, it comes very late in the compositional process. I spend much more time working on harmonies, creating sounds, sampling various objects and toys, twisting software and experimenting with analog gear.
Your music is quite eclectic and deep, both in instrumentation and in structure, is this a product of your background in music?
I can't deny that! I am still very influenced with the 'classical' approach of composition, in terms of structures, forms, concepts, etc.
Has music always been what you wanted to pursue in life, or did you end up falling into it unintentionally?
It happened quite randomly. I'm meant to be a music teacher. I am a musician by accident.
Do you find it difficult to play your music live, considering how intricate and layered it is?
Difficult for sure, but I think it's worth it. I tend to think that performing music on stage is meant to be hard; there is no point in going on stage if you're not taking risks. Playing live is all about putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation, having opportunities to make mistakes.
Following on from that, do you write your music with how it will translate into a live context in mind, or is that something that you take into consideration when you come to it?
It depends on the songs. Some are totally made on the computer, and then I try to find a way to play them, which involve a total re-thinking of the song. Sometimes it's the contrary.
Have you found your music/live show to be received differently by international audiences? Or is there generally a similar response by fans of your music?
I am not sure, but I reckon music, and especially music without words, has something universal. So I don't really feel any difference between audiences. Anyway, I'm closing my eyes 90 per cent of the time when I am playing.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I'm not quite sure the best way to ask this, so bear with me: Does anyone know of a subset of integers such that, for any odd prime p, the subset only occupies (p-1)/2 equivalence classes mod p (and does so uniformly)?
For example, take the subset of squares. Elementary number theory shows that they (as quadratic residues) occupy (p+1)/2 equivalence classes mod p. But the answer to the above is not to take the non-residues since being a non-residue is a local property, not a property of an integer.
It is possible to construct such a set of integers one element at a time in an ad hoc manner using some initial members, a whole lot of CRT, and making a somewhat arbitrary choice at each step. But is there a more ''well-known'' set that has this property?
share|improve this question
CRT? – Tom Leinster Jan 20 '10 at 2:05
Chinese Remainder Theorem. – darij grinberg Jan 20 '10 at 2:10
The set of squares was given as an example of a subset that satisfies the desired property for (p+1)/2 equivalence classes. The question is if there is a similarly ''nice'' set that does so for (p-1)/2 equivalence classes. – Aeryk Jan 20 '10 at 2:43
I believe the large sieve should show that such a set has at most on order of sqrt(N) elements in [1..N]. – JSE Jan 20 '10 at 2:44

See section 4.3 of Helfgott and Venkatesh, "How small must ill-distributed sets be?"
for an example of a subset of [1..N] of size about log N with small projections onto Z/pZ, and section 4.2 for a "guess" about what such subsets might look like in general. They speculate that such a set might have to be either very small (say, of size N^eps) or highly correlated with a "thin set," say, the values of a polynomial (i.e. x^2, as in the first case you describe.)
share|improve this answer
I do not have an answer, but a suggestion: Consider looking at the primorials + 1. If you start late enough, there should be few equivalence classes hit (about 1/log p for large enough p) until you reach the primorial +1 that includes p. Also, one might do well to consider factorials or central binomial coefficients ( (2n!)/(n!)(n!) ) with a constant offset.
I do not call it an answer because I do not know how natural a sequence is wanted. But if this is cheesy enough to be downvoted, I would like to know why.

Before I am told that this has too few residue classes, one may be able to change the offset recursively to give the desired result, not just arbitrarily. – Gerhard Paseman Jan 20 '10 at 7:53
And if you don't like that one, how about 1, 3, 15, 105, 945, 10395, 135135, etc. I think that can fit the bill even better than the original. – Gerhard Paseman Jan 20 '10 at 8:12
Oops. Maybe I should leave off the 1. – Gerhard Paseman Jan 20 '10 at 8:14
Darn. Doesn't work for 17. While it can be fixed, it looks more arbitrary after fixing (instead of multiplying by the next odd number, multiply by some small multiple of the next odd number). Time for bed. – Gerhard Paseman Jan 20 '10 at 8:25
Here is something I noticed - no idea if it helps:
Suppose $A\subset\mathbb{Z}$ has the property that for each odd prime $p$ and $\phi_p:\mathbb{Z}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, we have $|\phi_p(A)|=\frac{p-1}{2}$. Consider the map $f_p:\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ with $f_p(x)=x^2$. Then $|f_p(\phi_p(A))|\leq\frac{p-1}{2}$. Since there are $\frac{p+1}{2}$ quadratic residues mod $p$, we must have that for each odd prime $p$, there is an $x_p\in\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ such that $a^2\not\equiv x_p^2\bmod p$ for all $a\in A$ (which is $\Leftrightarrow$ $a\not\equiv \pm x_p\bmod p$).
share|improve this answer
"I don't think the result is actually true"---you mean you don't think such a set exists? I think one can easily construct one using CRT. You build it recursively. The point is that if it has size n, and has size at most (p-1)/2 mod p for all primes p, then you ignore all the primes bigger than 2n+3 because if you throw in another element it will still be too small to fill up (p-1)/2 classes, and for all primes <= 2n+3 you make sure that the new element is in a new congruence class mod p if we're still too small mod p, and is in an old congruence class mod p if we've got to the (p-1)/2 limit. – Kevin Buzzard Jan 20 '10 at 12:45
One can even make this uniform, because, the moment one has hit (p-1)/2 classes mod p one can ensure that all the rest of the numbers hit each cong class mod p equally, by making the new numbers "take it in turns" with the classes. – Kevin Buzzard Jan 20 '10 at 12:47
I don't understand your comment that since A is infinite, the set of odd primes dividing some a in A must be infinite. Perhaps it is true, but it takes an argument. Something like that there is some p=4k+1 so that the primes are all simultaneously 4th powers mod p. Are the primes where q is a 4th power determined by residues mod cq for some c? – Douglas Zare Jan 20 '10 at 15:13
Wow, thanks for pointing out all those mistakes (and explaining how to create such a set). – Zev Chonoles Jan 20 '10 at 15:24

I've discussed the need to be a learner and lead learner in this era of education which includes maker education. What I find absolutely exciting about being a maker educator is that they need to be learners; dedicated and invested in attitudes and behaviors related to being lifelong learners as the maker movement is ever evolving with seemingly daily advances. I believe that being a lead learner involves documenting and reflecting on the iteration process that is common for maker education. I provided an example of this in my post, Educator as Lead Learner: Learning littleBits.
As a learner and maker educator who wants to keep developing my making skills, I decided to hack out an ugly Christmas vest. What follows is what I did and my reflections about the process of creating this vest:
Reflection on This Hack:
- None of the original hacks worked correctly the first time. It was very frustrating but I had a need to make it work. Failure was not an option even if it meant my hacks weren't as clean as I desired.
- Even though they weren't as clean as I originally pictured, there was joy in getting my hacks to work. It was rewarding and fun to see the finished vest.
- The most joy I felt was when I wore the hacked out ugly Christmas vest to my health club. It was fun to watch others reactions – their smiles, laughs, and comments were priceless when they realized all that was going on in my vest.
I have been offered an opportunity to teach maker education again at a local summer enrichment program during summer, 2016. Last summer was my first time around so I experimented with lots of different maker education activities to see what worked and didn't work with the 5 to 10 year old kids. I now have this foundation and can build upon this foundation. I love creating new learning activities and will be thinking of new ways to use the materials so my returning students will have new activities. I plan to blog about those activities as I formulate them so (1) I don't forget about them, (2) others will have access to them, and (3) folks will realize that maker education can be implemented with accessible, fairly cheap materials; that a makerspace is not required to do maker education.

- Each learner is given the task to make 4-6 LED throwies (with the intent that they aren't going to be thrown.
- Directions from Make Magazine:
- Pinch the LED's leads to the sides of the battery, with the longer lead (the anode) touching the battery's positive (+) terminal, and the shorter lead (cathods) touching negative (–). It should light up.
- Cut a 7″ length of strapping tape or electrical tape, and wrap the leads tightly to the battery so the LED does not flicker. Wrap once around both sides of the battery.
- The battery's positive contact surface extends around the edges of the battery, so don't let the short lead (cathode) touch it or you'll short the circuit.
- More about LED throwies can be found at _URL_
- Each learner is then given a magnetic dry erase board and the task to create a design using both their LED throwies and dry erase makers (like the opening photograph).
- Since it is a dry erase board, learners can be encouraged to create multiple iterations of their LED-based art pieces. Photos can be taken so the learners feel comfortable with erasing and creating new art works.
- Learners can work with partners and switch around their LED throwies creating new and unique designs.
- Group Version:
- Small groups form a design on a larger classroom whiteboard. They all put their LED throwies on the larger magnetic, dry erase board. They all then use the dry erase markers to create a group mural.
This is a whole group example prior to me realizing they could have decorated their LED group creation with the dry erase makers.

In the midst of the implementation of common core state standards and no relief in sight from all the standardized testing, there's been a breadth of fresh air in the form of maker education entering into many classrooms. The Maker Movement is not easily defined nor placed neatly into a nice little box. It can be high tech or low tech; hacking what is or creating from scratch; it can be creating from building and arts materials or creating on the computer. We have entered into a convergence of several factors that are igniting the maker education movement.
The rise of maker culture has been slowly bubbling out of sheds, science labs, tech workshops, in schools and learning spaces. But, suddenly it is very present. The Imagination Foundation that has emerged out of energy and excitement of Caine's Arcade is raising funds and investing in projects that support maker activities in education. The New Maker Education Initiative, backed by a range of organizations including Intel and Pixar, has just launched its first project called Maker Corps. There are initiatives like the Make2Learn which aims to "leverage DIY culture, digital practices, and educational research to advocate for placing making, creating, and designing at the core of educational practice". Makers and Teachers Unite!
Some maker-related educational movements that gained traction in 2013 and will most likely gain more momentum in 2014 include:
- A focus on STEM (science, technology, education, and mathematics) and STEAM (science technology, engineering, arts, mathematics):
At a time when many people are asking how we can get more students interested in STEM fields, we are hearing from teachers who have found making to be a great way to get students excited and engaged in their classrooms. We are seeing making occurring in subject classes such as math or science — in classes specifically listed as maker classes — and in a variety of less formal settings such as clubs and study halls. Many of these projects incorporate a variety of STEM topics. (Engaging Students in the STEM Classroom Through "Making")
- Economical, open source, and accessible robotics and electronics tools like Arduino, Rasberry Pi, Makey-Makey, Little Bits:
New open-source microcontrollers, sensors, and interfaces connect the physical and digital worlds in ways never before possible. Plug-and-play devices that connect small microprocessors to the Internet, to each other, or to any number of sensors mean that low-cost, easy-to-make computational devices can test, monitor, and control your world. They offer much more than just "hands-on" crafting—these tools bring electronics, programming, and computational mathematics together in meaningful, powerful ways. We must reimagine school science and math not as a way to prepare students for the next academic challenge, or a future career, but as a place where students are inventors, scientists, and mathematicians today. (How the Maker Movement is Transforming Education)
Think of the Maker Movement as DIY for technology. It's not just a passing fad – web tools like KidsRuby, Gamemaker, Scratch, Storify and Mozilla Webmaker make it possible for people of all ages to learn to code, build games, and re-mix media. For libraries and schools, the Maker Movement means new opportunities for promoting digital, media, visual, and critical literacies (21st century literacies). (Inanimate Alice and the Maker Movement)
- An interest in and focus on design thinking both in educational and corporate sectors:
Making is a way of bringing creativity, authentic design thinking, and engineering to learners. Tinkering is the process of design, the way real scientists and engineers invent new things. Such concrete experiences provide a meaningful context for understanding abstract science and math concepts while often incorporating esthetic components. Creating opportunities for students to solve real problems, combined with imaginative new materials and technology, makes learning come alive and cements understandings that are difficult when only studied in the abstract. (Why we're excited about the Maker Movement, maybe you should be too!)
3D Printing is one of the most disruptive technologies around. These printers are affordable, personal fabrication tools, compact enough to sit on any desktop, and allow anyone at any skill level to become producers, inventors and artists. Students participate in project-based learning that is experiential in nature and has real-world applications. 3D printing projects engage students in the world around them, kindles a curiosity about how machines work, how objects fit together, and how the designers, architects, and inventors who build the products, spaces and technology in their lives have found solutions to a variety of design problems. (Makerbot Curriculum)
- Global making initiatives like the Cardboard Challenge:
The goals of Imagination Foundation, who sponsors, the Cardboard Challenge is in line with many Maker Education Initiatives:
1. Instill Creative Thinking as a Core Skill and Social Value
Give kids the tools to develop as creative thinkers who can take on the jobs of the future, seek innovative and resourceful solutions, tackle social issues and find happiness.
2. Give Kids Opportunities to Create and Learn Based on their Passions
Help children find and develop their passions through play

What's happening in my country
This page contains specific information about the planning and implementation of smart villages in Sweden. The information aims to orient people on policy planning, key contacts and resources on smart villages. However, it neither aims to be fully comprehensive, nor necessarily reflects the official government or European Commission position.
Explore how smart villages are being implemented in Sweden.
Key CAP contact(s) :
Support for Smart Villages under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)
- The preparation of the CAP Strategic Plan and its future interventions is in progress.
- Smart villages will only be included as a possible thematic focus within LEADER, depending on the extent to which the local LEADER strategies are including the concept in their measures. Thus, LEADER will have a supporting role to develop local projects that function as concrete, small-scale smart village initiatives/plans, adjusted to the lo-cal village or community context. In the applications to be approved as LEADER areas, many of the Local Development Plans have special measures for smart villages or are mentioning support to Smart Rural Areas as an objective.
- Broadband and commercial services will not continue to be supported under the CAP. These will be supported through national funding instead.
Key NRN contact(s) :
Activities of the National Rural Network (NRN) on smart villages
- The Swedish NRN runs a thematic working group on 'smart villages' and one thematic working group on 'innovation in rural areas'. They both consist of representatives of national organisations, authorities and associations.
- The working group on 'smart villages' has developed a work plan with activities on financing and advice for smart initiatives, methods for local transition/development plan and translation of materials from the European Network for Rural Development (ENRD) Contact Point, as well as webinars to inspire cooperation between local, regional and national levels.
- The working group on 'innovation in rural areas' has developed a work plan with activities to define and describe methods to guide and promote innovators and innovations, describe innovation infrastructures in rural areas, collect and publish information on good examples and create meeting places and opportunities to exchange experiences of innovations and innovation processes in rural areas.
- The Swedish NRN has had representatives at the ENRD thematic group on smart villages and its meetings.
- As for the future, the Swedish Board of Agriculture suggested that the NRN should play a distinct role within the national coordination of the 'smart villages' concept.
Support provided through other national/ regional policies & initiatives
The 'smart villages' concept is not included as a specific measure or objective in other Euro-pean structural and investment funds, nor national funding programmes. Nevertheless, it will be possible to fund activities and projects that contribute to the development of a smart village through several of these funds, such as the ERDF, the national funds for commercial services and for broadband.

The Impact of Economic Performance on Health in Zimbabwe
"The nexus between economic growth and health outcomes has been extensively studied. However the relationship between the two is not clear. Historically, decline in both infant and child mortality rates, and the fall in both male and female adult mortality rates especially since the turn of the 20th century has been attributed to a multiplicity of factors associated with economic and social advancement. These factors include rising availability of material goods, urbanization, improved infrastructure and housing, rising levels of education, improvement in personal and social hygiene, medical advances, the disappearance of slavery, and other host of significant reductions in discrimination for gender, religious, ethnic groups, etc. This research investigates the relationship between economic performance and health service delivery in Zimbabwe with the investigated causality running from the former to the latter. Thus, the main objective of the study is to investigate the impacts or effects of economic performance on health service delivery in Zimbabwe for the period 1980 to 2009."

Associate professor of physiology and pharmacology
Tom Robertson, associate professor of physiology and pharmacology, is CEO and co-founder of IS3D LLC, which creates revolutionary educational software that shows great promise as a more effective teaching tool in science education. Robertson and his partners began by developing highly realistic, three-dimensional models and animations of basic cell structures and processes, which were designed to replace the traditional two-dimensional illustrations and descriptions used in textbooks and classrooms. Students using this technology showed much higher rates of interest and understanding when compared to peer groups taught the same material with traditional methods. IS3D has since developed even more advanced learning modules that make students active participants in the learning process. Their products allow students to explore three-dimensional spaces inside the human body, collect data from the virtual world, develop their own hypotheses and even play science-themed games on mobile devices. In so doing, students learn about fundamental biological processes such as diffusion, osmosis and filtration.

Kids Explain Climate Change to Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Video
Jimmy Kimmel Got 2 Kids to Explain Climate Change to Donald Trump
The youth of America would like to explain a few things about climate change to President Donald Trump. Following a tweet on Monday night that saw Trump dismissing "Global Waming" (aka global warming) because of the extremely low temperatures that are currently sweeping across the Midwest, Jimmy Kimmel enlisted the help of two kids to educate the POTUS with a brief summary of how global warming actually works. In a segment that aired during Tuesday night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, 10-year-old Kaitlynn and 8-year-old Apollo took a moment to break down how the greenhouse effect works, while later explaining the difference between climate change and weather — and why it's a pretty important issue that we shouldn't continue to ignore. Watch the full video above.

text: There is a misguided idea that India should be grateful for the democracy, law and trains that the British Empire brought to their country. But along with these 'gifts', Britain also stole $45 trillion from India during its long and oppressive rule, which culminated in the biggest mass migration in human history during the Partition of India and Pakistan. And those beloved trains? They became the sites of mass slaughter as violent clashes occurred when over four million people were uprooted from their homes and forced to trek to a Muslim-majority Pakistan and a Hindu-majority India. VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng reveals exactly why India shouldn't be grateful for their trains.

Although many people use the terms interchangeably, there is a significant difference between a nanny and an au pair.
Differences between an au pair and a nanny:
- Au pairs are, by definition, young people from overseas who travel legally to the U.S.to care for children on a cultural exchange visa. Nannies can be anyone employed to care for a child in its own home.
- Nannies can work part-time, full-time or even overtime. Au pairs working conditions are regulated by the U.S. Department of State, so there are rules that must be followed. An au pair can work up to (but no more than) 45 hours a week, 10 hours per day.
- Nanny fees vary widely depending on if they are part-time or full-time, how many children you have, and where you live. The cost of hosting an au pair can be broken down into two main parts: Fees paid to an agency for the program administration and year-round support, and a minimum weekly stipend of $195.75, paid directly to your au pair.
- Some nannies are professionally trained and are in the field as a career. Others become nannies as a temporary way to earn money while they decide on college or other career paths. Au pairs are not professionally trained but many of them have hundreds, even thousands, of hours of experience as babysitters, tutors, kindergarten assistants, camp counselors and sports instructors.
- Nannies are employees. Au pairs are not considered an employee but rather an extended family member. The term au pair means "on par".

|William Loney RN - Background|
|Home-Loney-Background-The Naval Surgeon|
The Royal Naval Hospital, Hong Kong
Hong Kong was first occupied by British forces in early 1841. In April of that year the Navy erected matshed buildings - including store sheds and a naval hospital - on the site that later became the Wellington Barracks, but these were soon destroyed by the typhoon of 22 July. Minden, a third rate sailing ship, was then taken into use as a hospital ship for Navy personnel. The island proved to be very unhealthy, and between May and October 1843, fever killed 24 % of the troops and 10 % of the civilians there. In about 1846 Minden was replaced by Alligator, a sixth rate frigate which had participated in the first Opium War, and in 1857 by Melville, another third rate, which had been Rear-Admiral George Elliot's flagship during the early part of the war. In 1850 the medical staff consisted of a Surgeon and two Assistant Surgeons. In 1856 a Deputy Medical Inspector of Hospitals and Fleets was first appointed as senior medical officer, and in 1860 the medical staff consisted of the Deputy Inspector, a Surgeon & Medical Storekeeper, two Assistant Surgeons and a Chaplain.
In 1873 Melville was sold for HK$35,000 and the money used to purchase the Seaman's Hospital which had been first opened in Wan Chai in 1843 under the charge of Dr Young, who had been surgeon in the Honourable East India Company's iron steamship Nemesis, which had also participated in the Opium War. This water-front hospital, which had been supported financially by Jardine Matheson and Company, the first commercial house in Hong Kong, and had flourished for many years, was by the 1870s running at a loss. A letter from Vice-Admiral Shadwell, the Commander-in-Chief on the China Station, reveals that William Loney, as chief Medical Officer on the station from October 1872 to January 1875, played a large part in the successful move ashore. After this move the medical staff consisted of one Deputy Inspector General, two Surgeons and one Chaplain. The hills on which the hospital - and the later Infectious Diseases Hospital - were built, were given the names Mount Shadwell and Mount Parish respectively (Commodore John E. Parish was the "Naval Officer Commanding" in Hong Kong between 1873 and 1876). The buildings were seriously damaged during the second World War, and after the reoccupation of Hong Kong by the British, two stories in the Queen Mary Hospital, founded in 1937 on the hill above Pokfu Lam Road, were temporarily taken over by the Navy pending a decision on a new naval hospital. In November 1946 the War Memorial Hospital on the Peak (Mount Kellett Road) was taken over and - after considerable refurbishment - taken into use in January 1949. The Ruttonjee Sanatorium, founded by family members in rembrance of Tehmi Ruttonjee-Desai, who died of tuberculosis in 1943, arose on the Mount Shadwell site (at the junction of Kennedy Road and Queen's Road East, now well inland as a result of land reclamation; the name Mount Shadwell does not seem to be in use today); in 1991 this was renamed Ruttonjee Hospital and expanded to a 600 bed general hospital. The Wah Yan College (a Jesuit School) arose on Mount Parish in 1953, and is still there.
Only ten years after it opening, economy measures led to the closure of the new Royal Naval Hospital. The site was incorporated into new Matilda and War Memorial Hospital. The Matilda Hospital had opened in 1907, financed by a bequest from the businessman Granville Sharpe who had arrived in Hong Kong in 1858; it was named for his wife, Matilda Lincolne, who had died a few years previously. Naval patients were subsequently sent to the British Military Hospital, first on Bowen Road (opened about 1905; became a temporary site for the Island School in 1967), and later on Wylie Road, Kowloon. In 1995 the British Military Hospital, in its turn was closed (the Wylie Road building later became a Filipino Workers Development Centre), and responsibility for the health of Navy and Army personnel passed to military and civilian doctors working in the Island Group Practice. In 1997 British control of Hong Kong ended, and the remaining military and naval facilities were transferred to the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

It is probably too complicated to be sure, with subtle shifts in air flow easily affecting the total drag.
However, since things (usually) tend towards their lowest energy, and the wheels tend to spin when the car is moving, I would guess that is the lowest energy state, and hence the lowest total drag, compared to clamping the brakes on the bike wheel and stopping it from spinning.
But that statement, lowest energy state, and hence the lowest total drag, is BS. Things have no tendency towards a state of lowest energy dissipation!
Drag on the car * speed = power from the car.
power from the car = power from the spinning wheel + everything else
Increased drag on the car = power the spinning wheel generates / speed
If the wheel does not spin, it does no work.
If the wheel spins freely, it does -very little work-, because it has very little friction. So the spinning wheel adds very little more drag than the fixed one.

A person with paruresis (shy bladder syndrome) finds it difficult or impossible to urinate (pee) when other people are around. Paruresis is believed to be a common type of social phobia, ranking second only to the fear of public speaking. Paruresis is often first experienced at school.The condition affects men and women of all races. In mild cases, paruresis is an occasional event, like a form of performance anxiety. For example, a man at a public urinal may find that he is unable to urinate when flanked by other men. In severe cases, a person with paruresis can only urinate when alone at home. The condition is also known as 'avoidant paruresis', 'psychogenic urinary retention' and 'pee-phobia'.
A person with paruresis typically has a sensitive, shy, conscientious personality and is fearful of being judged or criticised by others. Paruresis can be mild, moderate or severe.
Signs and symptoms of severe paruresis can include:
- The need for complete privacy when going to the toilet
- Fear of other people hearing the urine hit the toilet water
- Fear of other people smelling the urine
- Negative self-talk while trying to urinate, for example: 'I can't do it. I'm never going to pee. I'm such an idiot.'
- Inability to urinate in public toilets or at other people's homes
- Inability to urinate at home when guests are present
- Inability to urinate at home if someone is waiting outside the toilet
- Feeling anxious about needing to go to the toilet
- Restricting drinks to reduce the need for urination
- Avoiding travel and social events.
Similarities to agoraphobia
Severe paruresis can affect a person's life in a similar way to agoraphobia, which is anxiety about being in places or situations from which escape seems difficult (typically, fear of crowds or being outside the home).
If a person can only successfully urinate when home alone, they may avoid leaving the house. This can reduce quality of life and curtail job opportunities.
Cause is psychological
Paruresis is not a physical condition because nothing is wrong with the person's urinary tract. The urinary sphincter must be relaxed for urine to flow from the bladder down the urethra. Anxiety about urinating overstimulates the person's nervous system and 'clamps' the sphincter shut. Failure to urinate heightens the person's anxiety, particularly if the bladder is uncomfortably full.
For some people, an embarrassing incident starts the social phobia – for example, the inability to urinate into a cup in front of a doctor or nurse. Worrying about the embarrassing incident makes the person feel anxious about urinating in the presence of others.
Various physiological conditions can hamper urination. Prostatitis, for example, can make urination difficult for affected men. The doctor will usually perform a series of tests to make sure that nothing is physically wrong with your urinary tract.
Generally, the diagnosis is paruresis if you can urinate successfully when alone at home. The doctor may suggest the short-term use of drugs such as tranquillisers or antidepressants. However, these drugs will only reduce anxiety, not cure the condition. In severe cases, the doctor may suggest that you learn self-catheterisation. A catheter is a slender tube inserted up the urethra and into the bladder to drain urine.
You may like to consider joining a paruresis support group. In severe cases, it may be helpful to see a psychologist. Treatment may include:
- Relaxation techniques – to learn a range of strategies to help reduce anxiety.
- Psychotherapy – a type of counselling that helps you deal with the here and now, and teaches problem solving.
- Cognitive behavioural therapy – changing the way you think and behave.
- Graduated exposure therapy – a step-by-step program that involves deliberately trying to urinate in increasingly more difficult places. About eight people out of every 10 with paruresis are helped by graduated exposure therapy.
Graduated exposure therapy (systematic desensitisation) explained
Be guided by your psychologist, but if it's felt that graduated exposure therapy will be helpful for you, your therapist will usually ask you to:
- Make a ranked list of urination locations from easiest to most difficult. For example, most people with paruresis find it easiest to urinate at home alone. The hardest location is usually a crowded and noisy public toilet. The idea is to start with the easiest locations and work your way up in degrees to the most difficult.
- Have a 'pee partner' to support you. This could be a family member or trusted friend.
- Ask your pee partner to stand as close to your home toilet as you feel comfortable while you are trying to urinate. Urinate for a few seconds then stop for a few minutes.
- Have your pee partner stand a little closer to the toilet. Go back into the toilet and urinate again for a few seconds, then stop.
- Keep practising, with your pee partner getting closer and closer to the toilet. This may take several sessions over a period of time.
- Try to make as much noise as possible while urinating. Deliberately splash your urine into the toilet water. Do this with your pee partner nearby.
- Pick a quiet public rest room (once you are comfortable with urinating at home) and then, with your pee partner standing outside the toilet door, practise the same way you did at home.
- Use your pee partner and work your way up the ranked scale of difficult locations until you can successfully urinate in a crowded and noisy public toilet.
- Graduated exposure therapy is more successful if it is practised often, perhaps three or four times per week.
- Drink plenty of water before your practice session to make sure that your bladder is full.
- Avoid any negative self-talk while trying to urinate. Remember that paruresis is a common social phobia. You are not abnormal or 'the only one'.
- Take it slowly, step by step. Don't pressure yourself. You should see considerable improvement after about 12 sessions or so.

- I must always remember that evil is the force from the Creator, for "There is none else besides Him." How should I treat evil? Evil was given to me for correction, so it can be turned into good.
- When does evil become good? It does so when I correlate evil to the Creator.
- How can one unveil evil becoming good? Light enters the desires between which there is no screen (connection, common intention, and mutual guarantee), and so the Light's good turns evil (egoism) into good, which fills the "space" between us. Along with our efforts attracting OM (Ohr Makif, the Correcting Light), we summon evil (egoism, Pharaoh, the opposite side of the Creator) that turns into good (bestowal, love, revelation of the Creator).
- How do we attribute all of our work to the Creator? Everything comes from the Creator. Exile is where the Creator hides from a person; work-in-exile is the revelation of the Creator, and exiting the exile means revealing that "There is none else besides Him."
- What is the cause for burdening of the spiritual mood? The fact that a person forgets that one receives everything from the Creator! And as soon as one remembers it, then it is immediately determined how to relate and to respond to this state designed by the Creator.
