and Implementation of Screencasts for the Study of Neuropathology in Medical Education
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
Growing up in a technology-rich world, millennials crave information at their fingertips. When confronted with a question, they want just enough information right when they need it. When faced with these immediate needs in pathology, many medical students become frustrated when required to sift through volumes of text and resources before arriving at a clear and concise answer. While traditional resources have their place in pathology, there is still much room for technology-enhanced resources, such as screencasts, to enrich the undergraduate medical pathology curricula.
Screencasting is a dynamic technology, well suited towards teaching highly visual content such as pathology. Through a screencast, an instructor is able to simultaneously display images while providing narration for these images. Unlike a recorded lecture, which may be provided simply for student convenience, a screencast is designed with the primary intent to be an asynchronous learning tool. It is apparent that medical students are already turning to screencasts. The availability of such resources with the intent to teach pathology, however, is lacking. Additionally, these existing resources fail to meet the needs of millennials in being concise, effective at delivering the intended message, and readily available.
One of added advantages of screencasts are the potential for availability across platforms. The technology gives students to access the resource on the go through mobile devices or during a dedicated study session on personal computers. The simplicity of the screencast platform has shown an improvement of student buy-in to use of the technology.
Here we describe the development and evaluation of concise screencasts which are both effective and efficient at delivering information right when a student needs it.
We have developed short (5 minute) screencasts related to neuropathology topics and designed them according to established multimedia design principles. To evaluate the educational value of these screencasts we conducted a randomized control trial in which medical students were administered a pre-test to assess baseline content knowledge, assigned a screencast or a text-based resource to interact with. These students were subsequently administered an immediate post-test to assess learning gain, and 2 weeks later administered a second post-test to assess retention.
We show the difference in both knowledge acquisition and retention in learning neuropathology through screencasts when compared to text-based resources. We also describe the relative efficiency of each resource by describing the relationship between time spent with a resource and learning gains.
This study demonstrates the value of neuropathology screencasts in undergraduate medical education. It takes the approach of evaluating a technology-enhanced resource for its educational value before including it in the medical curriculum. This allows us to have greater confidence in the educational value of these screencasts compared to traditional text-based resources.
114 – Qualitative Perspectives Addressing Challenges in Preparing Medical Students for the Boards, Wards, and Practice: A Reflection in Designing a More Student-Oriented Pathology Curriculum
Sarah Li, OMS-II
Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine – Harlem
At Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine – Harlem, the General Pathology (GenPath) first-year course is designed to be sequential with the second-year Systemic Pathology (SysPath) course. They are both constantly evolving, focusing more towards board-style questions and clinical vignettes. The flipped classroom curriculum utilizes pre-recorded lecture videos, three-hour weekly discussions, and limited exam questions. Also, medical students can attend weekly optional boards review sessions, held for about two to four hours during the academic year, to solve boards-based questions.
To continually evolve courses, meet required curriculum, and maximize preparation for medical boards exams (USMLE Step 1/COMLEX Level 1), a focus group of six participants, comprised of 3rd year medical students and alumni (1 resident and 1 practitioner), was undertaken. Questions gathered opinions and suggestions to: (1) the General and Systemic pathology courses, (2) the flipped classroom format, and (3) the optional boards review sessions. Focus groups were recorded using Zoom video conference and transcribed. Two authors reviewed the recordings and compiled themes for discussion and future course development.
The overwhelming amount of foundational GenPath material necessary for SysPath was insufficiently reviewed during SysPath. Participants recommended streamlining GenPath content, emphasizing key concepts, and reviewing supplemental GenPath concepts prior to corresponding SysPath lectures, allowing students to integrate foundational and clinical knowledge. Additionally, Histology/Histomorphology recognition should be waned while increasing emphasis on Pathophysiology, Radiology, and Lab Medicine, concepts stressed more on the boards. Furthermore, interactive sessions should integrate more multidiscipline-based clinical vignettes with application and higher-order multiple choice boards-style questions. Lastly, supplemental resources such as Pathoma should be incorporated into the courses to emphasize high-yield boards relevant content.
The universal advantage of the flipped classroom allows for students to manage their time and the option to rewind/review concepts requiring extra time to commit to memory; however, consensus was that the videos were too long. Students take 5-7 concurrent courses with 1-4 video lectures per class per week, culminating in insufficient time to grasp concepts and prepare for weekly interactive sessions. Recorded videos also varied in year of recording, which may cause confusion regarding up-to-date content and boards relevancy. In addition, multiple faculty involvement in lecture recordings, interactive sessions, and writing exam questions contributed to "too many cooks in the kitchen," causing confusion with different teaching styles.
Overall, participants feel that review session were helpful; the practice questions guided thinking towards boards exam skills. This bolstered critical thinking over recall. One challenge to the extra-curricular boards review sessions was that there was insufficient time to add to students' busy schedules. A universal suggestion was to incorporate previous systems reviews during boards review sessions as a refresher and also reminder to keep on top of previous material.
To continually make Pathology education more student-oriented as to maximize their future as physicians, feedback was obtained from previous students on course challenges, flipped classroom learning, and optional boards review sessions effectiveness. Streamlined content, organized lecture styles, boards preparation, and clinicopathologic integration were emphasized.
115 – Bone Marrow Biopsies on Cadavers as a Model to Integrate Laboratory Medicine within a Basic Science Curriculum
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso Paul L. Foster School of Medicine
Medical education in laboratory medicine is lacking considering the impact of laboratory testing on the current medical community. Appropriate ordering and interpretation of lab tests is an important skill for practicing physicians. Challenges to integrating lab medicine instruction into the pre-clinical medical education include finding time within an already packed curriculum and low medical student interest. Team based learning and interactive sessions have been utilized by medical schools to improve student engagement and learning. Medical students have found that procedure-based activities such as lumbar puncture simulations and bone marrow biopsy learning modules improved their anatomy knowledge. However, few studies have explored the utilization of a procedure-based activity to teach aspects of laboratory medicine.
We propose that a team-based activity featuring bone marrow biopsies on cadavers can be a model to engage medical students to learn important aspects of laboratory medicine in the setting of a comprehensive study of related gross anatomy, histology, physiology, and pathology. Organization of the activity led by a trained pathologist could be as follows:
- Team-based learning: Medical students would be assigned into groups of 5 or 6 students. Each group would be given a scenario of a patient on whom a bone marrow biopsy has been ordered. The scenario would include history and physical exam findings as well as initial laboratory results and imaging if relevant.
- Procedure-based learning: Each medical student would have the opportunity to take a bone marrow biopsy on a cadaver in the gross anatomy lab with guidance from a pathologist after reviewing the related anatomy of the pelvis. If possible, the pathologist would also show students how the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy are processed.
- Comprehensive learning: Each team of students would be provided slides to be viewed under a microscope or electronic images that reflect results from their patient's bone marrow biopsy and aspirate. Depending on the scenario, students would be exposed to other tests like flow cytometry immunophenotyping, chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), molecular testing, or microbiology testing. Each team's case scenario and findings would be discussed within the entire group at the conclusion of the activity.
Current trends in medical education have reduced traditional didactic methods of teaching in favor of team-based learning and flipped classrooms. A procedure-based activity such as performing bone marrow biopsies on cadavers would introduce students to concepts of laboratory medicine in the context of a comprehensive review of anatomy, histology, and physiology. Such an activity would maximize time dedicated to the instruction of these topics in a tight curriculum and expose medical students to the clinical relevance of lab medicine in the context of a procedure they will likely see on the wards and will need to be able to interpret.
116 – Application of Interactive Self-directed Online Pathology Modules with Gaming Features in Place of Traditional Lectures
Amirah Kuzu MS4
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso
Analyzing an H&E-stained tissue sample for histologic abnormalities can be an overwhelming task for a medical student. It is difficult to differentiate between normal versus abnormal structural features, especially when there are multiple structures within the tissue sample and it is not clear to medical students which structure(s) they should be viewing.
The plethora of material in the time allotted for each lecture makes it difficult to ask the professor for clarification. Thus, it should not be surprising that many medical students rely heavily on outside Step 1 resources, such as pathoma, to learn anatomic pathology. The problem with such resources is the cost and the unavoidable deficiency in pathology and histology education their use creates compared to the information provided


What makes someone find the concept of ghunghat appreciable?
If somebody says they find the concept of ghunghat worthy of being 'appreciated' what is it that they are finding appreciable? How does a ghunghat make the wearer worthy of being complimented? What changes?
From what I understand, ghunghat is practiced in most of North Indian states. It involves covering of the face, (only by women) with the end of their sari/dupatta. Ghunghat is observed when married Indian women are in their sasural (in laws' home, village or even city), and also in presence of the in laws, anywhere, like if they visit the woman's parental home or village (maika).
Not observing ghunghat maybe seen as being disrespectful and shameless.
Indian menFrequently, women who observe ghunghat are required to keep their head and face covered in all weather conditions, including while cooking on chulha at 44 degrees Celsius (if there are men around). Also, while traveling, working in fields or during family functions.
DSC_0892Generally women in ghunghat do not sit when those who are considered higher in sasural hierarchy are around, they may not join family discussions; they generally may not talk, sing or laugh in loud voices or do anything to draw 'undue attention' to themselves when men or family elders are around. It is considered disrespectful for women (bahu or daughter in law) to address older men directly – obviously they may not look someone in the eye when they do say something, which they generally may not.
Ghunghat is also given as the reason for denying education or work opportunities to married Indian women. It's 'in tune with the Indian tradition'.
How do women who observe ghunghat benefit from it?
They become, amongst other things, a good example for other women.
"Look at her. She is an MLA and always wears a ghunghat. She is a regular in the assembly and yet none of us have ever seen her full face."
What is appreciable about someone's face not having been seen by others?
Do all the women who observe ghunghat have a choice?
In comparatively modern homes, ghunghat is followed in more liberal forms, some families let women cover only the head (not the face), some married Indian women are expected to wear sari but are allowed leave their heads and faces uncovered.
If a woman is in ghunghat then it is likely that she is also wearing bichia, sindoor and bangles; and generally following other rules meant specifically for daughters in law to observe in their sasural.
Many urban married Indian women are not forced to wear sari, sindoor, mangalsutra, or observe ghunghat (etc). Looking unmarried or living without the restrictions faced by traditional daughters in law does not earn misogynists' compliments, but it does seem to elicit reactions like this, 'When married Indian women strive to look unmarried'.
Some MP lawmakers appreciate women in 'ghunghat'
"When I was newly married, I used to wear ghunghat which was more than a feet long over my face," she said. Deputy Speaker Harvansh Singh, who was in the chair, observed: "That must be appreciated. The concept of ghunghat for women is in tune with the Indian tradition."
Minister for legislative affairs Narottam Mishra also praised women who wear 'ghunghat'. The deputy speaker then pointed at MLA from Gadarwara in Narsingpur district, Sadhna Sthapak, and said: "Look at her. She is an MLA and always wears a ghunghat. She is a regular in the assembly and yet none of us have ever seen her full face."
As Harvansh Singh praised her, Sadhna got up from her seat and bowed graciously to accept the 'compliment'.

109 thoughts on "What makes someone find the concept of ghunghat appreciable?
 1. I don't get the point of covering one's face when one's arms and midriff region are bare. The abaya with niqab makes more sense than a sari with a ghunghat.
 I do think clothing should be a matter of personal choice (and I understand that a lot of these women do not have the choice of not choosing to wear one). A lot of women in the US/ Canada get flak for choosing to wear a hijab (etc) and I don't think that's fair either.
 This reminds me of my dad's sister. She was really young when she got married (arranged) and she was going to university. Her MIL told her that she had to wear a sari now that she was married. She said 'okay' and wore a sari out of the house, but stopped by the nearest restaurant to change into whatever she pleased and continued with the day. Everybody, including my uncle, thought it was hilarious.
 - It's tragic actually. I used to wear only Indian clothes, and go change into jeans in the car when going out with my husband in the first year of our marriage. He travelled a lot, and I used to go join him on his trips just to be able to wear what I wanted for a couple of days in another city.
 - She doesn't look at that time as tragic at all! When she told me about it, she rolled her eyes and said that her MIL was very old and possibly senile, so arguing with her would have been pointless. However, unlike you, she wasn't bound to the house–she could leave with her friends, etc. So she wasn't trapped unless her husband took her out or something.I think she made the best of her situation. It's not like my uncle (her husband) was advising her on what she could not wear.
 I do think people should have a choice though–so if a person chooses to wear a niquab or a ghunghat, I'm okay with that unless they're driving (an activity that requires peripheral vision) and risking other people's lives.
 - I totally agree. Not having the freedom to decide what one wants to wear – I can't imagine that happening to me, ever! It is not a small thing, as people who are torch bearers of patriarchy condition their daughters to believe.
 2. Some say that ghungat helps male members of the in laws family to control their libido on seeing the female face….and in case the are unable they can squarely blame woman not taking care of ghungat….
 - I think the more obvious reason is that having to cover oneself changes one's self-perception in important ways. Its harder to claim your humanity when you're shrouded from head to toe.
 Veiled women are easier to control because they're psychologically easy to manipulate.
 All attempts to break the human spirit begin with the imposition of strict rules on attire and appearance. They suppress individuality.
 Prison populations would be harder to control if prisoners were allowed to dress as they please.
 The same applies to the veiling of women.
 - Well said biwo, excellent comment, gunghat/burqa/hijab etc etc all in name of so called culture/tradition is simply means to keep women in control and strip her of her humanity. Loved the prison analogy, all these rules in name "oh so great culture" are nothing but a prison for women taking away her freedom and dignity.
 - Biwo, you summarized it well. A faceless human being can easily lead to a voice-less, identity-less being. I find it to be a very humiliating custom, and it succeeds in making these women invisible, in every sense.
 Yes, like some regressive prisons, we can do away with names, assign numbers.
 - "Its harder to claim your humanity when you're shrouded from head to toe. "
 Biwo…I think it extends to that famous item of clothing most of us wear (and which I have almost entirely removed from my wardrobe now)…the dupatta. I have been wanting to write a post on it. Utterly superfluous piece of clothing…I only wear it now if it adds to the elegance of the dress.
 - A friend's friend once famously said, "I'd shoot the person who invented the dupatta!" And I agree wholeheartedly. Waiting for your post _USER_
 - Haha Stars, the dupatta has its uses. I've just returned from a team lunch and had to trudge in the hot sun back from the parking lot. My dupatta was a lifesaver today. I agree about its superflousness otherwise.
 Its just that men stare at breasts so much here in Bangalore. Sometimes its comforting to not be ogled at because you're all covered in the chest


CD Statistics Howto
This article details how the CD statistics are generated on this site.
Firstly it is fairly obvious that the CD's need to be in some file format on a server. I have all my CD's stored in MP3 format although Squeezecenter can handle other formats (e.g. flac). This allows a decent quality and for them to be easily loaded onto portable players. The format of the files doesn't matter for the purposes of this article.
Squeezebox 2
I run a Linux server hosting a number of services, not least this web site!
The audio files are handled by a piece of software called Squeezecenter (formally Squeezebox server) which allows the files to be streamed to audio devices. I currently have two squeezebox players in the house.
The Squeezecenter software stores all the information about the audio files in a database. by default this database is SqLite although it is possible to configure it to use MySQL.
In order to get the detailed playing statistics about the various files it is necessary to add the TrackStat plugin to Squeezecenter. This adds extra tables to the database to hold play information about the tracks.
Then it is simply a matter of using the appropriate SQL queries to retrieve the information from the database and format it appropriately for the web page.
I use php to do this.
For example the SQL query to get the top ten tracks played is:
select t1.title, sum(t4.playcount) as f, t2.contributor, from tracks as t1,
contributor_track as t2, contributors as t3, track_statistics as t4 where = t2.track
and t1.url = t4.url and t2.contributor = and t2.role=1 and t4.playcount > 0
group by order by f desc, title limit 10
This will return 10 rows ordered by the play count descending.
It is then a simple matter of formatting the output of this into a table.
The php code I use to produce a table of this information is:
$result = $conn->query($query);
print "";
print "Top 10 Albums";
print "AlbumTracks Played\n";
while( $row = $result->fetcharray()) {
 print "$row[0]";
 if( $row[3] == 1 ) {
 print "Various Artists";
 else {
 print "$row[2]";
 print "";
 $count = $row[1];
 print "$count\n";
 print "";
Note that when using SqLite the main database is in the squeezecenter cache directory and is called library.db. The track play count data used by the trackstat plugin is in a file called persist.db. To get the data, both files need to be open.
Another thing to be aware of is that Squeezecenter by default has the file permissions set so that ordinary users cannot access them. As the web server runs as user apache (on my system) then this user cannot access the files.
This requires the file permissions to be changed to allow read access to the world. Be aware that this will obviously compromise security on shared systems. The web user only needs read access.
A slight complication is that Squeezecenter will reset the file permissions when it is restarted. This is annoying because after a system restart (normally due to updates being applied) the web user cannot access the database files and hence displays nothing.
I overcame this by adding a line in rc.local in /etc (a file which is executed at the end of the boot procedure) to change the file permissions.

Wrong or Reich? - Part 3

Scripture Reading: Luke 17:20-21
This continues my current theme of the necessity of exposing the jewish lies of the 20th century. By being informed of this truth, we will always "…be ready to give an answer to any man asking a reason of the hope that is in you" (I Peter 3:15).
The German word "Reich" means "realm" or "empire". Apple Dictionary defines Reich: "the former German state, most often used to refer to the Third Reich, the Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945. The First Reich was considered to be the Holy Roman Empire, 962–1806, and the Second Reich the German Empire, 1871–1918, but neither of these terms are part of normal historical terminology."
We could also say that a Reich is a kingdom. All Christians should want God's kingdom.


Problems You May Face When trying to do your taxes without any Idea
services Sydney accounting
There is no problem when you pay your taxes as long as you understand how it works. However, there are others who end up in a disastrous situation while paying taxes on their own only end-up spending a fortune. For instance; while calculating if you make one mistake, then you are bound to spend more. Another example is forgetting or ignoring tax deductibles which is available to save more. These are additional problems you will face when you try to pay your taxes without understanding about it.
 1. There are a ton of Hassles –Not having all the important documents in one proper file can lead to a ton of hassles. Moreover, this problem is also faced by those who are always on the run due to their hectic lifestyle leading to hassles and then to stress. Your hassles can become lesser if you hire a tax accountant.
 2. The Chance of Losing on Deductibles – Applying on tax deductibles is one of the best ways to save on taxes. But if you're trying to pay taxes on your own without any ideas then you are bound to lose the opportunity to apply for tax deductibles.
 3. The Ability to make more Mistakes – If this your first time and don't understand how tax works then you are bound to make many more mistakes than expected. For example; there are plenty of forms to fill where if you fill the wrong form then you are bound to make mistakes.
In Sydney, accounting services are given only by a professional tax accountant.

Project "Predictive Model of Industrial Employability"
The Chair of Management Accounting has received notification from the DFG that funding will be made available over the next 3 years for the intended project "Predictive Model of Industrial Employability". The project will be implemented jointly with the Chair of Production Metrology and Quality Management (Prof. Dr. Robert Schmitt).
The overarching objective is the development and testing of a Predictive Model of Industrial Employability (PMIE) that enables organisations to deduce organizational development (OD) interventions on the individual and organisational level. The proposed research project contributes to this objective by developing such a general model and by applying it to a representative sample of companies from the automotive and machine tool industries. If the model proves to be useful in these industries, the generalizability should be examined in further industries. This scientific approach is based on the idea of providing a practical theory and concrete artefacts to address technological and demographic challenges. It is meant to support organizations in facing the challenges that result from the on-going technological and demographic changes. These challenges include a general decrease in the size of the workforce of working age (16-67), an increase in workforce diversity, and the changing demands for competencies required of the workforce. Beyond already existing approaches, the PMIE is not limited to conceptual development. Instead, its assumptions are empirically tested to validate the model and to quantify the initially qualitative model.

Psychohistorical views on infanticide

Revision as of 04:39, November 13, 2013 by Rotlink (Talk | contribs)
Psychohistorical views on infanticide (in psychohistorical jargon "early infanticidal childrearing") is a model used in the study of psychohistory to refer to the occurrence of infanticide in paleolithic,[1][2] pre-historical, or historical hunter-gatherer tribes or societies (although infanticide still occurs in the advanced nations). "Early" means early in history or in the cultural development of a society, not to the age of the child. "Infanticidal" refers to the high incidence of infants killed if compared to modern nations.[3] The model was developed by Lloyd deMause within the framework of psychohistory as part of a seven-stage sequence of childrearing modes which describe the development of human cultures in their attitude to their children.[4] The word "early" is also meant to distinguish it from late infanticidal childrearing, identified by deMause in the more established, agricultural cultures up to the ancient world.
The model
This particular model is a psychological concept that aims to understand anthropological data, especially from such societies as the Yolngu of Australia, the Gimi, Wogeo, Sambia (tribe), Bena Bena, and Bimin-Kuskusmin of Papua New Guinea, the Raum, the Ok and the Kwanga, based on observations by Geza Roheim,[5] Lia Leibowitz, Robert C. Suggs,[6] Milton Diamond, Herman Heinrich Ploss, Gilbert Herdt, Robert J. Stoller, L. L. Langness, and Fitz John Porter Poole, among others.[7] While anthropologists and psychohistorians generally do not dispute the data of their particular research, they dispute its significance (both in terms of importance and in terms of meaning) and its interpretation.[7]
Supporters attempt to explain cultural history from a psycho-developmental point of view, and argue that cultural change can be assessed as "advancement" or "regression" based on the psychological consequences of various cultural practices.[8] While most anthropologists reject this approach, and most theories of cultural evolution as ethnocentric, the psychohistorians in their turn proclaim the independence of psychohistory and summarily reject the mainstream view in scholarship, that of Boasian anthropologists.
This "infanticidal" model makes several claims: that childrearing in tribal societies included child sacrifice or high infanticide rates, incest, body mutilation, child rape and tortures, and that such activities were culturally acceptable.[9] Psychohistorians do not claim that each child was killed, only that in some societies there was (or is) a selection process that would vary from culture to culture. For example, there is a large jump in the mortality rate of Papua New Guinean children after they reach the weaning stage.[10] In the Solomon Islands some people reportedly kill their first-born child. In rural India, rural China and other societies some female babies would be exposed to death.[10] The gist of deMause's argument is that the surviving siblings of the sacrificed child may become disturbed.[3]
Some states both in the Old World and New World also practiced infanticide, including sacrifice in Mesoamerica, the Incas and in Assyrian and Canaanite religions. Phoenicians, Carthaginians and other members of early states also sacrificed infants to their gods, as described in the table of the psychopathological effects of some forms of childrearing.[3]
The model is also based on a reported lack of empathy by infanticidal parents, such as mutual gazes between parent and child, observed by Robert B. Edgerton, Maria Lepowsky, Bruce Knauft, John W. M. Whiting and Margaret Mead among others. Such mutual gazing is widely recognized in developmental psychology as crucial for proper bonding between mother and child.
Nineteenth century British anthropology advanced a lineal, evolutionary sequence in a given culture from savagery to civilization (Stone Age, Iron Age, Bronze age, etc.). The cultures were seen as a hierarchical ladder. For example, James George Frazer posited an universal progress from magical thinking to science. Most anthropologists of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century studied primitives outside Europe and North America. John Ferguson McLennan, Lewis Henry Morgan and others argued that there was a parallel development in social institutions. Led by Leslie White, in the 1950s these evolutionist ideas gained influence in American anthropology.[12]
The German-born Franz Boas managed to shift the paradigm. His approach, later named cultural relativism, resists universal values of any kind. According to Boas' principle, which represents the mainstream school in contemporary anthropology, a set of a culture's beliefs and activities should be interpreted in terms of its own culture. This principle has been established as axiomatic in contemporary anthropology. The war of Vietnam consolidated the Boasian shift in American anthropology.[12]
Since in a certain sense the psychohistorians' model is analogous to the now discarded unilineal evolution theory, it is understandable that mainstream anthropologists have been critical of the negative value judgments, and the lineal progression, in the model currently advanced by psychohistorians as to what constitutes child abuse in either "primitive" or non-Western cultures.[13] Furthermore, lumping paleolithic societies with contemporary hunter-gatherers, as deMause and the psychohistorians do, is for anthropologists bad science. This view was rejected by anthropologists a hundred years ago. Melvin Konner wrote:
In return, psychohistorians accuse most anthropologists and ethnologists of having avoided looking more closely to the evidence and having promulgated the myth of the noble savage.[15] They maintain that what constitutes child abuse is a matter of a general psychological law and that some of the practices which mainstream anthropologists do not pay due attention, such as beatings of newborn infants, result in brain lesions and other visible neurological and psychological damage.[7]

What is Three-Sigma Limits
Three-sigma limits (3-sigma limits) is a statistical calculation that refers to data within three standard deviations from a mean. In business applications, three-sigma refers to processes that operate efficiently and produce items of the highest quality.
Three-sigma limits are used to set the upper and lower control limits in statistical quality control charts. Control charts are used to establish limits for a manufacturing or business process that is in a state of statistical control.
BREAKING DOWN Three-Sigma Limits
Control charts are also known as Shewhart charts, named after Walter A. Shewhart, an American physicist, engineer and statistician (1891–1967). Control charts are based on the theory that even in perfectly designed processes, a certain amount of variability in output measurements is inherent. Control charts determine if there is controlled or uncontrolled variation in a process. Variations in process quality due to random causes are said to be in-control; out-of-control processes include both random and special causes of variation. Control charts are intended to determine the presence of special causes.
To measure variations, statisticians and analysts use a metric known as the standard deviation, also called sigma. Sigma is a statistical measurement of variability, showing how much variation exists from a statistical average. In other words, it measures how far an observed data deviates from the mean or average. Investors use standard deviation to gauge expected volatility — this is known as historical volatility. To understand this measurement, consider the normal bell curve which has a normal distribution. The farther to the right or left a data is recorded on the bell curve, the higher or lower, respectively, the data is than the mean. From another point of view, low values indicate that the data points fall close to the mean; high values indicate the data is widespread and not close to the average.
The term "three-sigma" points to three standard deviations. Shewhart set three standard deviation (3-sigma) limits as "a rational and economic guide to minimum economic loss." Three-sigma limits set a range for the process parameter at 0.27% control limits. Three-sigma control limits is used to check data from a process and if it is within statistical control. This is done by checking if data points are within three standard deviations from the mean. The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is set three sigma levels above the mean and the Lower Control Limit (LCL) is set at three sigma levels below mean. Since around 99.99% of a controlled process will take place within plus or minus three sigmas, the data from a process ought to approximate a general distribution around the mean and within the pre-defined limits. On a bell curve, data that lie above the average and beyond the three-sigma line represent less than one percent of all data points.
Calculating Three-Sigma Limit
Let's consider a manufacturing firm that runs a series of 10 tests to determine whether there is a variation in the quality of its products. The data points for the 10 tests are: 8.4, 8.5, 9.1, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.7, 9.7, 9.9, and 9.9.
First — Calculate the average of the observed data. (8.4 + 8.5 + 9.1 + 9.3 + 9.4 + 9.5 + 9.7 + 9.7 + 9.9 + 9.9) / 10 which equals 93.4 / 10 = 9.34.
Second — Calculate the variance of the set. Variance is the spread between data points and is calculated as the sum of the squares of the difference between each data point and the mean divided by the number of observations. The first difference square will be calculated as (8.4 – 9.34)2 = 0.8836, the second square of difference will be (8.5 – 9.34)2 = 0.7056, third can be calculated as (9.1 – 9.34)2 = 0.0576, and so on. The sum of the difference squares of all 10 data points is 2.564. The variance is, therefore, 2.564 / 10 = 0.2564.
Third — Calculate the standard deviation, which is simply the square root of the variance. So, standard deviation = √0.2564 = 0.5064.
Fourth — Calculate three-sigma, which is three standard deviations above the mean. In numerical format, this is (3 x 0.5064) + 9.34 = 10.9. Since none of the data is at such a high point, the manufacturing testing process has not yet reached three-sigma quality levels.

Isolation of Genomic DNA from Plant using Magnetic Beads—NucleoMag 96 Plant
NucleoMag 96 Plant is designed for the rapid parallel purification of genomic DNA from plant tissues in a 96-well format. After lysis of the sample, genomic DNA is selectively bound to the NucleoMag Beads. Contaminants are washed away and the DNA can be eluted from the beads under low-salt conditions. Since the magnetic bead technology provides a closed system (no transfer of sample from one well to another is necessary during the preparation), the risk of cross-contamination is greatly reduced. The NucleoMag technology can be easily adapted to common laboratory automation platforms. It can be used either with static-pin separators (e.g., NucleoMag SEP) or magnetic separators integrated into robotic workstations.

help alleviate pain for patients suffering from head and neck cancer who were treated with radiation therapy, according to a new study (International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, Feb. 1, 2006).
Fifty patients, suffering from various forms of head and neck cancer and who received radiation therapy, were observed during the course of their radiation treatment. Mucositis, or inflammation of the mucous membrane in the mouth, is the most common side effect yet no additional therapy has been identified that successfully reduces the pain.
This study sought to discover if a mouthwash made from the local anesthetic tetracaine was able to alleviate the discomfort associated with head and neck cancer and if there would be any negative side effects of the mouthwash. The doctors chose to concoct a tetracaine-based mouthwash instead of a lidocaine-based version because it was found to be four times more effective, worked faster and produced a prolonged relief.
The tetracaine was administered by a mouthwash approximately 30 minutes before and after meals, or roughly six times a day. Relief of oral pain was reported in 48 of the 50 patients. Sixteen patients reported that the mouthwash had an unpleasant taste or altered the taste of their food.

How many words do dogs understand?: Author's Note
Many dog-owners share a special connection with their dog -- so much so, that they often chat or even vent to their beloved pet. And for some, this is more cathartic just talking to a oneself or even writing in a journal. Many believe that their dog understands much of what they are saying. After writing "How do dogs perceive time?," and finding that a dog's memory works in a similar way as a toddler's, the idea that a dog also understands about as many words as a 3-year-old was fascinating. But beyond the size of a dog's vocabulary, I was also driven to find out to what extent dogs truly understand language, and what it means to understand language. And, although experts claim that dogs don't understand abstract concepts, dogs' ability to understand human body language and other cues is remarkable.

Williamson Island | Tybee Island, Georgia
View Photos/Videos Below
View a map showing Georgia's newest barrier island and all of Georgia's major barrier islands.
Williamson Island is the youngest Georgia island. Shoreline surveys of 1913 show the formation of a sand spit from the central portion of Little Tybee's shoreline. At the time, Beach Hammock was the southernmost ocean shoreline in the Tybee-Little Tybee complex. The spit continued to lengthen, with Little Tybee Creek routed to the south between the spit and the marsh. Between 1957 and 1960 the spit was breached. The resulting island is Williamson. This low, narrow barrier is like those typically found on coasts with high wave energy and low tidal energies.
After the island was created, Kerr-McGee Corporation and the state both claimed ownership. This disagreement over an ephemeral body of sand was taken to the courts. The state was eventually designated the island's proper owner and manager.

19-year-old invents spacecraft propulsion device
A woman named Aisha Mustafa has invented a propulsion device that could result in cheaper means of energy consumption for spacecrafts. Oh yeah, and she's a 19-year-old college student.
The Egyptian university student at Sohag University invented a propulsion device that eschews the radioactive-based jet and rocket engine set-up for quantum physics and chemical reactions. You know, like most teenagers.
The device generates energy from electric energy by using the Casimir-polder force, the energy that occurs between separate surfaces and objects in a vacuum. This could be a huge improvement over rocket-fuel based models that, obviously, rely on solid and liquid fuels.
This could lead to cheaper and greener space travel. Mustafa said the next step is testing it at with a major scientific research organization and one day hopefully bringing it practically into space missions
Not bad for a 19-year-old.

How To: Spot a Jaguar in the Wild
Although the chances of spotting a Jaguar in the wild are slim, many guides and guests have stories and pictures to prove that if you are very lucky, it can happen. Here are some things you can do to increase your odds of seeing the largest cat in the Amazon in its natural habitat.
 1. Take a trip to the Tambopata Research Center (TRC). While staying at Refugio Amazonas you only have a 2% chance of seeing a Jaguar and an even lesser 1% percent chance at Posada Amazonas, at TRC, your odds increase to 12%.
 2. Hop in a boat. The best place to spot a jaguar is the river bank. In the jungle they camouflage very well and can be nearly impossible to notice. Also, Jaguars prefer to river banks to rest and find their food which consists of capybara, deer, peccaries, turtles, caimans, birds, agouties, and fish.
 3. Be very quiet and stay still. Jaguars have binocular and color vision and a heightened sense of hearing. In most cases they are able to detect humans before we can spot them.
 4. Go looking during the day. The jaguar is active 60% of the day and unlike the the Puma and Ocelot, who only hunt at night, the Jaguar can look for food during the day.

Discover the meanings of thousands of Biblical names in Abarim Publications' Biblical Name Vault: Perizzite
Perizzite meaning
Source: _URL_
🔼The name Perizzite: Summary
Non-urbanite, Wildling, Rural
From the noun פרזי (perazi), rural or villager.
🔼The name Perizzite in the Bible
The Perizzites were a tribe that lived in Canaan prior to the Israelite conquest and remained there long after. Canaan was home to several distinct Canaanite tribes but the Perizzites are commonly mentioned alongside them rather than one of them, as in Genesis 13:7, which reads "Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land" (also see Genesis 34:30).
In Genesis 15:20, YHWH promises Abraham all the lands between Egypt and the Euphrates, and mentions the Perizzites between the Hittites and the Rephaim, who would be extinct by the time of Joshua. But Canaan appears to have been a hotspot for a wide variety of peoples, indigenous and foreign (Exodus 3:8, 3:17, 23:23, Joshua 9:1, 11:3, Nehemiah 9:8), which is a quality it never lost (1 Kings 10:24, Acts 2:5), although many of the early tribes were destined to be discontinued (Exodus 33:2, 34:11, Deuteronomy 7:1, 20:17, Joshua 3:10, 12:8, 24:11, Judges 1:4-5).
This is of course not about mass murder and ethnic cleansing but about the discontinuation of cultural identities, primarily because the artistic expressions and signature technology of these tribes were surpassed in quality by the technology of other tribes with whom they coexisted (Joshua 17:15, Judges 3:5). This same natural process caused modern Europe to largely abandon its native schlagers and chansons and embrace American rock and roll. Schlagers and chansons will never truly die out and likewise remnants of the Perizzites remained for Solomon to levy forced laborers from (1 Kings 9:20. 2 Chronicles 8:7). They were still there by the time the Jews returned from Babel (Ezra 9:1).
🔼Etymology of the name Perizzite
The name Perizzite is identical to the noun פרזי (perazi), meaning rural or villager:
Excerpted from: Abarim Publications' Biblical Dictionary
The unused verb פרז (perez) probably meant to go beyond a border or limit. Noun פרז (perez) describes an army's first wave of attackers, who were commonly equipped with spears. Noun פרזה (perazah) refers to rural hamlets, noun פרזי (perazi) describes a person who lives there and noun פרזון (perazon) collectively describes the rural population.
🔼Perizzite meaning
For a meaning of the name Perizzites, Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names reads Villagers and NOBSE Study Bible Name List has the elaborate Dwellers In The Open Country. BDB Theological Dictionary does not offer an explanation for our name and expresses doubt whether it technically derives from our root (which wouldn't change the meaning of it relative to the story).
By the time Israel invaded Canaan, there appear to have been two distinct forms of society present, namely an urban society based on cities surrounded by large agricultural estates, and a feral society based on small tribal groups that had retained a semi-nomadic or hunter lifestyle.
The name Canaanite appears to have applied mostly to the urban society. The urban society had a complex economy, was endowed with functional diversity and was stratified into classes. It had political leaders, a wisdom class, a central treasury and collective storehouses of accumulated surplus, and a class of professional soldiers to guard and enforce rule. It had complex technology such as roads, buildings and machinery. And it had script, administration and legal codes. The name Perizzite appears to have referred to people who wanted none of all of that, who rejected urban living, centralized leadership and complex technology. The price they paid for their freedom was that they also had no script and hence no wisdom beyond that which was passed on to them orally.


The Cassata Siciliana
Cassata is the most celebrated Sicilian dessert and it is the classic Sicilian Easter Cake.
Easter comes around the time of the vernal equinox, which occurs on March 20/21.
It indicates the coming of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It coincides with the Roman pagan celebration of Ceres, Demeter for the Greeks, the goddess of fertility who blesses and helps to produce the fruits of the earth; cakes were offered for the occasion to the goddess; they were made with an outer crust of flour and honey and stuffed with sweetened ricotta.
To celebrate weddings, this cake was baked and wrapped in laurel leaves.
 Torta di Ricotta
Many scholars claim the cassata was introduced in Sicily by the Arabs in the ninth century, deriving the name cassata from the Arabic quasat: on this subject, it is very hard to come to a sure and positive conclusion and any theory could be as valid as any other speculation.
In fact the Arabs contributed to the Sicilian cooking, including many desserts; however their influence has been greatly overstated. They introduced sugar to Sicily, making it possible to transform the almond paste, originally sweetened with honey, into marzipan, the Pasta Reale. They introduced many new spices from the Orient, gave Saracen names to some Sicilian dishes, made contributions to agriculture by creating small farms individually owned and introduced a modern irrigation system.
Going back to cassata… It is more reasonable to conclude that the word cassata does not derive from the Arabic word "qas'at", meaning a small box, incidentally it could have derived from the Latin word "capsa" which means case, chest or box which in vulgar Latin morphed into cassa, hence the word cassata.
Or else and more probable, since the ricotta cheese is the main ingredient in the cassata, this word could derive from "caseus" which means cheese. Furthermore, because Sicilian cooks employed by the elites of the Roman high society living in Sicily and in Rome, prepared a type of bread stuffed with honey, fresh cheese and covered with fresh fruits to offer to Ceres, the goddess of fertility around what is now, Easter time, and being Latin the language used by the Sicilian cooks, the word "caseus" was distorted in "cacio, casia and cassata".
This kind of cake goes back before the Romans Empire: Sicilian cooks were making a similar pastry in Magna Grecia, for the Greeks living in Sicily, to offer to their goddess Demeter to gain her blessings to the land and to bring new life into their families.
The truth is that cassata is as Sicilian as the apple pie is American.
Later candied citron was added to the filling along with chocolate pieces when it was introduced from America. This type of cassata is now known as "Cassata al Forno" or baked cassata.
The "Classic Cassata Siciliana" as it is known today was introduced in the 19th century by Signor Guli', a famous "pasticciere" and owner of the homonymous pastry shop in Corso Vittorio Emanuele in Palermo. One of the members of the prominent Florio family asked him to make some exceptional cakes that would not turn acrid so they could be shipped to their friends as a different, sweet and delicious gift: Mr. Guli' successfully made what is today considered the epitome of the Sicilian dessert as well as the cake to celebrate Easter and holydays, not only on Sicilian tables.
The main ingredients of the original and classic cassata are sponge cake and a filling made with ricotta sweetened with a small amount of sugar or honey, fragrant with cinnamon, with a hint of vanilla and enriched with diced citron and orange. The outside is covered with a light layer of glaze, prepared with confectionary sugar and lemon juice to counterbalance the sweetness of the cake and as a final touch it is decorated with multicolored candied whole and sliced fruits.
Special round molds are used, with the side 2 ½ inches high, inclined to the outside about 15 degrees, to give that particular and characteristic shape.
After the cassata is made, it must be stored for a few hours or overnight, to allow the aromas of the ricotta to blend with the sponge, and then it can be completed and decorated.
There are many myths about the Cassata Siciliana. It is described in many recipes as a wedding cake, made with whipped cream, and with emphasis to the fact that it is very rich, and offensively sweet. The truth is that a well-made cassata is a harmonious blend of different tastes and aromas, with a balanced freshness of the lemony icing and the delicate savor of ricotta cream.

Silverfish are wingless teardrop-shaped insects that are generally soft bodied. They are flattened from top to bottom, elongated and oval in shape, have three long tail-like projections at the end of the abdomen, and two long antennae. Silverfish measure 1/2 to 3/4 inches in length. They are white to brown-grey or bluish-silver in color with a metallic shine because their bodies are covered with fine scales. Silverfish are nocturnal and move very quickly. Silverfish also reproduce quickly.

Crappie, White
White Crappie
Oklahoma Distribution:
Now found statewide in many lakes and rivers, crappie were originally stream fish in Oklahoma. Both black crappie and white crappie do well in lakes of at least 500 acres. While black crappie require clear lakes, white crappie are adapted to slightly turbid lakes. Neither species is suited for farm ponds because they tend to over populate these small bodies of water.
The most distinguishing characteristic is the marking patterns or spots on the sides of the fish. A white crappie, the most prevalent crappie in the state, will have distinct vertical bands of blue/gray spots, whereas a black crappie will have only a sporadic, unrecognizable pattern to its black spots. There is also a difference in the number of bony spines in the dorsal fin. White crappie will have 5 to 6, whereas, black crappie will have 7 or 8.
Crappie are usually associated with standing timber and brushy cover in lakes. In the spring they inhabit the shallow ends of coves, later moving to water 15 or more feet deep.
Natural Food Sources:
 Minnows, shad, crayfish, mollusks and insects.
Spawning habits of white crappie are similar to other sunfishes except they usually nest in deeper water. Black crappie construct their nests and deposit their eggs at even greater depths than white crappie. Females of both species deposit from 3,000 to 15,000 eggs. Spawning occurs shortly after water temperatures reach 55 to 65 degrees F. After spawning, males guard the eggs and fry.
Crappie are a favorite winter fish in Oklahoma. They form loose schools and often when you find a school, others can be located close by. Crappie can be caught year-round and its sweet meat makes exquisite table fare. The average crappie caught in Oklahoma weighs between a half and one and a half pounds.

Comparison of Case Processing Under the Young Offenders Act and the First Six Months of the Youth Criminal Justice Act
Factors Affecting Custodial Sentences
As already discussed, the YCJA brought changes to the sentencing regime for youth convicted of criminal offences. A major change is the prohibition against the imposition of a custodial sentence – including deferred custody and supervision – unless the young person has committed a violent offence; the young person has failed to comply with non-custodial sentences; the young person has committed a serious indictable offence and has a history that indicates a pattern of offences; or in exceptional cases where the young person has committed an indictable offence, the aggravating circumstances of the offence are such that it would be impossible to impose a sentence other than custody.
Multivariate analysis was used to determine whether the importance of the factors listed in the last paragraph changed in the two time periods.
The following lists the independent variables included in the model. The factors that attempt to operationalize the criteria for custody in the YCJA are italicized.
- demographic characteristics of young persons: being female, age in years, being of Aboriginal background, and having one or more social or psychological problem
- legal factors relating to prior record: one or more past custody sentence; more than one past conviction for breach of probation
- legal factors relating to current case: number of current charges; one more indictable person conviction; one or more hybrid person conviction; one or more hybrid property conviction; one or more probation breach conviction; one or more bail-related conviction
- legal factor relating to prior record and current case: both three or more prior convictions and an indictable current conviction.
This analysis is not a definitive analysis of factors affecting custody sentences. Rather, the primary interest is to determine the extent to which violent offences, past failure to comply with a non-custodial sentence (probation), and a pattern of offending and a serious current conviction affect the use of custody before and after the YCJA. In a similar way, we want to know whether there were changes in the effects of minor but high frequency hybrid property, probation breaches and bail offences.
The differential effects of the key legal factors before and after the YCJA (Table 33) were as follows:
- Under the YOA, the strongest predictor of custody was more numerous current convictions, followed by a current probation breach conviction.
- Under the YCJA, the strongest predictor was the presence of a pattern of offending plus a serious (indictable) current offence.
- After the law, the less serious, hybrid offences against property and the person showed a negative relationship to custody (i.e., having a conviction for these offence groups decreased the probability of custody).
Toronto and Scarborough :
- In the pre-law sample, having a prior custody sentence, more numerous current convictions and an indictable offence against the person were most influential in the DCSO/custody cases.
- The presence of a pattern of offending plus a serious current offence was by far the most influential factor under the YCJA and the sole statistically significant factor associated with the case.
- Having a prior custody sentence was the strongest predictor under the YOA, although also being of Aboriginal origin, more numerous current convictions and having a pattern of offending plus a serious current offence were also statistically associated with custody.
- Having a prior custody sentence, more numerous current charges, having a current hybrid person conviction and having a pattern of offending/serious current offence predicted custody in 2003. Bail convictions were negatively associated with custody, a finding which is consistent with the intent of the new law. Being Aboriginal and having social/psychological problems also increased the likelihood of custody.
- Having a prior custody sentence, more numerous convictions, and a pattern of offending plus a serious current offence predicted custody under the Young Offenders Act.
- Under the YCJA, a past custody sentence was most influential followed by having a current conviction for breach of probation, a conviction for an indictable offence against the person, and a pattern of offending plus an indictable current conviction.
Vancouver and Surrey :
- More numerous current charges and prior custody were the main significant factors before the law whereas after the Act, having a pattern of offending/serious current offence was the strongest predictor by far. Also significant post-law was being of Aboriginal background, but this finding may not reflect systemic discrimination as much as an indication that there are other factors affecting custody that were not included in the model.
Thus, the changes in the factors appearing to influence Halifax, Toronto/Scarborough and Vancouver/Surrey custody sentences are in keeping with the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The case characteristics predicting custody in Winnipeg and Edmonton were somewhat less consistent with the principles of the Act, although in both time periods in both cities having a pattern of offending and an indictable current offence was statistically associated with custody.
In the sample as a whole, the following changes over time that were consistent with the principles of the YCJA were observed:
- Having a pattern of offending and also serious current offence, as operationalized, was only a weak predictor of custody under the YOA but one of the two strongest predictors in the first six months after proclamation of the YCJA.
- A significant negative relationship between a current conviction for a violation of bail and custody was found under the YCJA but not under the YOA.
- Having a current probation breach conviction increased the likelihood of custody before but not after the new legislation came into effect.
- Serious violent charges – defined as indictable person offences – predicted custody in both periods.
- Having social/psychological problems increased custody usage before but not after the legislation.
The finding that older youth were treated more severely by the court under the YCJA may or may not be consistent with the new legislation depending on one's perspective. This group is usually regarded as more accountable for their actions than younger persons, age can be considered both a "social" and a "legal" factor.
 This last variable was defined in the section that presented the multivariate findings for the factors affecting whether the case involved a finding of guilt.
 Having a past custody sentence could be assumed to be consistent with the YCJA since it is one way of operationalizing a pattern of offending.

Real option refer to projects involving tangible assets versus financial instruments. Real options can include the decision to expand, defer or wait, or abandon a project entirely. Real options have economic value, which financial analysts and corporate managers use to inform their decisions.
Using real options value analysis ROVmanagers can estimate the opportunity cost of continuing or abandoning a project and make better decisions accordingly. It is important to note that real options do real options method example refer to a derivative financial instrument, such as call and put options contracts, which give the holder the right to buy or sell an underlying asset, respectively.

Real Options Valuation The precise value of real options can be difficult to establish or estimate. For instance, real option value may be realized from a company undertaking socially responsible projects, such as building a community center. By doing so, the company may realize a benefit that makes it easier to obtain necessary permits or approval for other projects.

The net present value is the cash flow that's expected as a result of the new project, but those flows are discounted by a rate that could otherwise be earned for doing nothing. The alternative rate or discount rate might be the rate of a U.
Treasury bond, for example. Some valuation models use terminology from derivatives markets wherein the strike price corresponds to non-recoverable costs involved with the project. In the derivatives world, the strike would be the price at which the options contract converts into the underlying security that is based on.
Integrating Options and Discounted Cash Flow
Real options must also consider the risk involved, and it too could be assigned a value similar to volatility. Other methods of valuing real options include Monte Carlo simulationswhich use mathematical calculations to assign probabilities to various outcomes given certain variables and risks.
Adjusting for Cost
The real options heuristic is simply the recognition of the value embodied in the flexibility of choosing among alternatives despite the fact that their objective values cannot be mathematically determined with any degree of certainty. Even if a quantitative model is employed to value a real option, the choice of the model itself is based on judgement and often a trial-and-error approach since the choices available can vary across firms and project managers.
Having options affords the freedom to make optimal choices in decisions, such as when and where to make a specific capital expenditure. Various management choices to make investments can give companies real options to take additional actions in the future, based on existing market conditions. In short, real options are about companies making decisions and choices that grant them the greatest amount of flexibility and potential benefit regarding possible future decisions or choices.
Choices that Fall Under Real Options The choices that corporate managers face that typically fall under real options analysis are under three categories of real options method example management.
Navigation menu
The first group are options relating to the size of a project. Depending on the ROV analysis, options may exist to expand, contract, or expand and contract the project over time, given various contingencies. Real options are most appropriate when the economic environment and market conditions relating to a particular project are both highly volatile yet flexible.

Apolinario Mabini y Maranan Passes Away
Today in Masonic History Apolinario Mabini y Maranan passes away in 1903.
Apolinario Mabini y Maranan was a Filipino revolutionary.
Mabini was born on July 23, 1864 in Barangay Talaga, Philippines. Because his family was poor he started his education informally. Mabini exhibited extraordinary intelligence and was sent to a regular school where he would work for his education by taking odd jobs.
In 1881, Mabini received a scholarship to Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Manila. An anecdote from his education at the school was that a professor, seeing his shabby clothes, saw him as poor. When the professor started to pick on Mabini he was able to answer a series of questions from the professor with ease. Mabini would be in and out of school due to a chronic lack of funds. He would generally earn money by teaching younger students. Mabini would earn the title of Professor of Latin from Letran.
Mabini would go on to the University of Santo Tomas where he would receive his law degree in 1894. Mabini would never go on to practice law though. He would put his education to work for the Philippine Revolution and later the Filipino-American war.
In 1893, Mabini joined La Liga Filipino which was founded by José Rizal. The group was created to get the Filipino people involved in the reform of their country. It would be the first explicitly patriotic group that Mabini would join. Before long some of the more radical members of Liga thought that reform would not come without more aggressive tactics. Liga split into two groups the moderate Cuerpo de Compromisarios and Katipunan. Mabini went with the more moderate Cuerpo de Compromisarios. After Rizal was executed in December of that same year, Mabini changed his mind and gave the revolution his wholehearted support.
In 1895 Mabini was struck with Polio and in January of 1896 lost the use of both of his legs. Also in 1896, Mabini as well as 13 other members of Katipunan were arrested. The 13 members of La Liga Filipina who were arrested with Mabini were all executed, they would be known as the "Thirteen Martyrs of Cavite". Mabini was spared, since he was already crippled by Polio he was seen as no real threat to the Spanish.
Mabini would be hospitalized in poor health until 1898 when he came to the attention of Emilio Aguinaldo, the leader of the Filipino Revolution. Aguinaldo would put Mabini to work having him help to write decrees in the beginnings of the new Republic of the Philippines. In January of 1899, Aguinaldo would appoint Mabini as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.
As Foreign Minister Mabini with negotiate with the Americans. Mabini would negotiate for a peaceful end the contentious and sometimes violent conflict between the Philippines and the United States. When the negotiations failed, Mabini would back the call for war.
On December 10th, 1899, Mabini would be exiled. He would not return to the Philippines until February 1903.
On May 13th, 1903, Mabini would pass away from Cholera in Manila.
Mabini was a member of Logia Balgatas No. 149.
