Positions & Service
Thought & Action
The FCC, Net Neutrality, and You
Upcoming Presentation for the Society for Women in Philosophy!
Upcoming Poster Presentation at the Pacific APA!
Posted by Laura Kane on May 28, 2014 in Digital Fellows, In The News
Cross-post from the Digital Fellows blog:
A few weeks ago, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced it will propose new rules that effectively allow Internet service providers (ISP) to charge more money to certain companies in exchange for 'faster lanes' to deliver content to consumers. These new rules could mean the beginning of the end for net neutrality.
The philosophy of net neutrality espouses two main ideas: 1) that all producers of Internet content (Netflix, The New York Times, NPR, Boing Boing, You, Me, etc.) should be given equal access to the lanes that deliver content, and 2) that all users should have equal access to any content produced (so long as that content is legal, of course). This means that you and I can visit any website we wish and 1) the content will be available and 2) the content will be delivered to us at equal speed (so, no long loading times for your personal blog while Nextflix loads immediately).
So, why does the news from the FCC threaten net neutrality, and why should that matter to users?
The new proposed rules from the FCC would allow certain ISP's (those that have significantly more money and, potentially, influence) to pay higher prices for access to new 'fast lanes.' These 'fast lanes' would enable ISP's to transfer preferred content at a faster rate to consumers, relegating other non-preferred content to the slower lanes. An example from the New York Times highlights one problematic scenario that could arise: a large video game company pays to use a fast lane to deliver their game to consumers at the expense of a smaller start-up video game company. The start-up company's game will most likely suffer (and the start-up may fail) because customers are dissatisfied with how the start-up game loads in comparison to the larger company's game.
Although gamers represent a large portion of the Internet-using population, a much more dangerous trend may emerge for the majority of Internet users if these proposed rules take effect.
Under current Internet regulations (which uphold a net neutrality policy), Americans have access to major Internet news sources (New York Times, Al Jazeera, CNN, The Guardian, etc.), more independent news sources (Boing Boing, Alternet, Mother Jones, etc.), and individual news blogs (Gawker, The Huffington Post, ThinkProgress, etc.). We are able to access major and minor news stories across different sites, comparing coverage and bias to make our own judgment about any particular event. A move away from net neutrality would mean a weakened selection of news outlets and, quite plausibly, suppressed speech.
Major ISP's (for instance, Comcast or Time Warner Cable) that purchase faster lanes may very likely preference their own news providers at the expense of smaller, more independent news providers. This means that ISP's would control, to a certain extent, the news that would be available to their subscribers. Independent news sources may not have the means to deliver their content through the faster lanes, thus the content they produce will be much more difficult to access – a consequence that has troublesome implications for free speech.
Proponents of net neutrality believe that our right to free speech guarantees us all 1) equal access to produce (legal) Internet content and 2) equal right to access (legal) Internet content. So, Internet regulations should be employed to protect all content producers so that the smallest voice is just powerful as the loudest voice.
Proponents of the more fiscally driven approach to Internet regulatory policy believe that the Internet is a business and should operate as one: goods (content) are produced and services are required to deliver those goods to consumers (users). So, individuals and/or companies have the rights to pay to improve their service (thus improving their business) by paying for faster service lanes. As a result, certain voices become more powerful than others.
The fiscally driven approach to Internet regulatory policy may produce a sphere of knowledge that purposely excludes certain voices, opinions and facts from public discourse. This possibility alone is enough reason to follow what the FCC plans to propose, if it's not enough of a call to become active in the conversation.

On August 2, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Cities Initiative (GLSLCI) announced that it had decided not to pursue its appeal of the Great Lakes Governors' decision to grant the City of Waukesha, Wisconsin a diversion of water from Lake Michigan for use as a public water supply. The Great Lakes Governors had unanimously approved the City's request in June 2016, finding that the application satisfied the criteria in the Compact and Agreement for an exception to the ban on diversions of water outside the Great Lakes basin. In August 2016, GLSLCI requested the Governors to reconsider their decision to grant the City's request, but the Governors voted unanimously to affirm the decision.
As part of its decision not to pursue the appeal, GLSLCI agreed not to file a petition for judicial review in federal district court. In exchange, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Water Resources Compact Council will review its current procedures for reviewing diversion proposals and propose recommendations and updates to the procedures to ensure full and fair consideration of future diversion requests. Draft revisions to the current procedures are expected in June 2018 and final recommendations will be adopted in December 2018.


The Hyena's team led by Johnson Musinguzi Byarabaha were favorites in last Sunday's outing before being docked 3 points and 3 goals after management established that the team had fielded several ineligible players most of whom are not Red Pepper staff but rather play for other professional football clubs such as the Saints- a club in the Big League.
The Hyenas fielded ineligible players during their game against Mengo Hospital. As if that was not enough, Red Pepper was also docked 10 points and 10 goals for causing a brawl during the mouthwatering encounter with Darling which ended in a dramatic goalless draw. In the middle of the tense game, a fan reportedly from Darling picked up a fight with a Red Pepper player that attracted flying jabs from both sides. As a result, the Darling team has been expelled from the league.
Meanwhile, Parliament press through their umbrella-Uganda Parliamentary Press Association (UPPA) has made their debut in the Corporate Games with a bang. Captained by Max Patrick Ocaido of Kampala Post news website, the Parliament press team suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat in their first game against Royal Van Zanten but bounced back with 1-0 victory against Mandela National Stadium. The parliament press later slipped into two other losses against Red Pepper and Cavendish University.
Parliament Press president, Moses Mulondo who is also a lethal midfielder for his team promised a better performance in the upcoming games.
"Corporate games have created a solution where these corporates come, have fun, keep healthy and give their organizations better value," Rumanyika said in an interview with the New Vision. Currently, there are 24 companies registered in the corporate games and Rumanyika is hopeful that the number would grow to 36 by the end of the year. Corporate games are held in every first Sunday of the month and the next outing will be on May 05, 2019.

Lauren Graham's 'Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist' Trailer Will Delight 'Gilmore Girls' Fans
by Julia Emmanuele
NBC via YouTube
If you've been waiting your whole life to see Lorelai Gilmore belt out The Rolling Stones in a public bathroom, NBC is here to answer your (very specific) prayers. Lauren Graham sings in the first trailer for Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, the upcoming musical sitcom about a young woman who discovers that she can hear people's thoughts via song after an MRI goes wrong.
Jane Levy stars in the Glee-esque sitcom as Zoey, a coder who "always preferred podcasts to pop songs," per Deadline's description, who attempts to use her new ability to "connect with the world like never before," now that she can hear the popular songs in everyone's head. "One second I'm getting an MRI and the next second, people are singing to me," Levy's character explains at one point. "Almost as if they're singing what they're thinking out loud."
However, Zoey's newfound power is causing her some problems along the way; namely at work, where she keeps finding herself getting "distracted" by everyone's singing, even though she's up for a major promotion. And though her boss, Joan (Graham) is on her side, it's hard not to see why Zoey is finding it so hard to concentrate, especially when Graham is singing a version of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" — complete with impromptu wind machine made out of hand dryers.
Of course, Zoey's ability to hear people's "songs" isn't just causing her problems at work, but also throwing a wrench into her personal life. "Because of whatever this ability is, I've discovered that my best friend is in love with me," Zoey declares, before Skylar Astin's Max serenades her with both "Sucker" by the Jonas Brothers and "I Think I Love You" by the Partridge Family. In addition to Graham and Astin, Levy is joined by Broadway star and Glee alum Alex Newell as Mo, Zoey's musically-adept neighbor and Patrick Gallagher and Mary Steenburgen as her parents.
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist marks Graham's first TV show since Parenthood wrapped in 2015 after six seasons, and the Gilmore Girls revival on Netflix the following year. The show is also Graham's first musical role on television, though she played the ditzy, chronically congested Miss Adelaide in the 2009 Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls. "I have such reverence for New York theatre," Graham told Playbill in 2009 about making her musical theater debut. "My dad began taking me when I was a kid, and it's what I grew up dreaming about doing."
It seems like Graham jumped at the chance to star in another musical when Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist came around, as the actor joked on Twitter back in August that it was not hard to convince her to take on the role of Joan. "1. It's a musical, and 2. Ive heard enough what day do we start," Graham wrote on Twitter, enumerating her reasons for joining the show. "Thrilled to join [Jane Levy] on this incredible show!"
According to Deadline, Graham is contracted to star in Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist for one year, which means that any potential future seasons of Gilmore Girls will have to wait for a little while longer. In the meantime, fans can fill the void that Stars Hollow left in their hearts by watching Graham live out her musical dreams when Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist premieres on January 7.

A penetration test (aka pentest) is an authorized attack on computer systems with the intent of exploiting vulnerabilities to identify security weaknesses. It is a critical component of a vulnerability management program because it tests operating systems, applications, configurations, and the security controls that protect systems on a network.
Penetration testing is considered a security best practice and demonstrates due diligence to security auditors. It is also a requirement for mandates such as PCI. A penetration test will test your perimeter security controls and will provide guidance on where to spend your budget for the maximum return on your investment.
Test results provide an understanding of threats to your systems. This knowledge allows you to build secure systems and improve the security of those systems that are already deployed in your organization. At the close of a penetration test, a detailed report that includes an executive summary of findings, root cause analysis, scored findings, and a remediation roadmap is delivered to the requesting organization.
DataPrivia knows that one person can't keep up with every security threat so we perform penetration testing as a red team process. Our team consists of systems, network, and application penetration experts working collaboratively to make certain that your environment is thoroughly tested. We use the following steps to discover, compromise, and communicate our findings to our clients.
DataPrivia's penetration team conducted a penetration test for a global manufacturer and retail organization. This organization had an internal security group staffed with extremely competent security professionals. During the discovery phase of the engagement, DataPrivia discovered a misconfigured portal that was used to exploit the network. Within minutes we were able to gain access, elevate privilege level, and access the organization's most critical data.
While our customer had a very talented security team, they recognized the need for another set of eyes and it paid off. DataPrivia escalated the critical findings and worked with our customer to resolve the discovered vulnerabilities.

MSMS HEADED TO THE NATIONAL SCIENCE BOWL IN WASHINGTON D.C.
This past Friday, February 16, the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science sent two teams of current juniors and seniors to compete in the Mississippi Regional Science Bowl at the Mississippi University for Women. The Regional Science Bowl is a tournament-style academic competition open to 9-12 graders across the state of Mississippi and is intended to test students' knowledge and application of a broad range of science and mathematics subjects. Both teams competed in a variety of qualifying rounds and advanced to single elimination rounds until they were the last two teams standing. In an exciting and nerve-racking final round, both MSMS teams faced off against one another to determine the winner of the Mississippi Regional Science Bowl. In the end, MSMS Team One comprised of Yousef Abu-Salah, William Johnson, Hamilton Wan, Gary Nguyen, and Maria Kaltchenko defeated MSMS Team Two comprised of Harpreet Singh, Vivienne Tenev, Dev Jaiswal, Michelle Luo, and Indu Nandula. Both teams were excellent competitors and demonstrated academic prowess and great sportsmanship.
MSMS Team One will travel to Washington, D.C. in April to compete in the National Science Bowl. There, MSMS will face-off against teams from all across the United States in several face-paced question and answer rounds testing understanding and application of key areas of science such as biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, and energy.
A special thank you to Dr. Bill Odom and Dr. Lib Morgan for serving as the Science Bowl advisors and coaches.
Join us in congratulating Yousef, William, Hamilton, Gary, and Maria for their recent triumph at the Regional Science Bowl and wish them luck at the National Science Bowl!

Low Yields Cause Shrimp Processors to Run Below Capacity
Economics Post-harvest Sustainability Environment
BANGLADESH - As a result of low yields of shrimps and prawns in the country, processing plants are running below 80 per cent of their capacity.
The Daily Star reports that currently, local frozen fish processors receive only 18 per cent of required raw materials against a minimum processing capacity of 265,000 tonnes per annum.
This fact was revealed at a seminar on increasing shrimp production, a joint effort by Bangladesh Frozen Foods and Exporters Association (BFFEA) and Business Promotion Council under the commerce ministry.
M Kabir Ahmed, a former official of Department of Fisheries, said: "We have scope to boost production by technological intervention and expansion of modern cultivation."
Bangladesh lags in shrimp yield, behind China, Thailand, Viet Nam and India.
Bangladesh follows traditional cultivation methods and produces 350 kilograms of shrimp a hectare, compared to China, Viet Nam and Thailand, who produce eight to ten tonnes (1 tonne=1,000kg).
Mr Ahmed said yield can be increased four to five times with technological upgrade and expansion at the farmers' level. "Semi-intensive cultivation will also facilitate increased production," he added.
At present, Bangladesh cultivates shrimps on 217,000 hectares in the coastal zone, mainly the south-west, and sweet water shrimps are grown on 30,000 hectares, allowing the country to earn foreign currency through exports.
According to BFFEA, out of 184,939 tonnes of shrimp produced in fiscal 2010-11, Bangladesh exported 54,891 tonnes. The volume of shrimp and frozen fish exports grew to 58,503 tonnes in fiscal 2011-12.
"We urge the government to increase allocation and incentives to increase the modern cultivation of shrimp," said BFFEA President Md Amin Ullah.
"The government can facilitate farmers to get medicines and feed at low costs. It is also necessary to train farmers," he said, recommending the establishment of demonstration farms to encourage farmers to adopt modern cultivation methods.
Former BFFEA Director AH Md Shahdat Ali Khan stressed the need to establish a common landing centre for all the processors, in a bid to ensure shrimp quality.
It will also reduce malpractices by dishonest middlemen, who inject water, liquid and various other substances to make the shrimps gain weight, he said.

Q: Closing a menu on anywhere click I am working on a website and here is the link file:///D:/fahim/HTML/menu/index.html. If you click the menu its closing on its own "X" button, but i want it to close by clicking outside the menu. This is the javascript used on the home page.

<script>
var popupView = new popup();

document.querySelector('#btn_1').addEventListener('click', function () {
popupView.show(document.querySelector('#popup_1'));
});

document.querySelector('#btn_2').addEventListener('click', function () {
popupView.show(document.querySelector('#popup_2'), function () {

Trump Threatens Retaliation Against Countries That Issue Travel Warnings For USA #GetReady
August 12, 2019 By domani spero in Consular Work, Functional Bureaus, Govt Documents, Huh? News, Leadership and Management, Real Post of the Month, Realities of the FS, State Department, Trends, Trump Tags: Carl C. Risch, Consular Information Program, Retaliation, State/CA, State/CA/OCS, Travel Advisories, Travel Advisory Review Committee, Travel Alerts
On August 10, USA Today reported that the president has threatened retaliation Friday against countries and organizations that issue travel warnings on the United States because of gun violence (see Amnesty International Issues Travel Advisory For the United States of America).
The president said during the gaggle "We are a very reciprocal nation with me as the head. When somebody does something negative to us in terms of a country, we do it to them."
Oh, Lordy, that's going to be the end of the State Department's Travel Advisories, wouldn't it? Better not show him the other countries' color coded map of the United States where these gun violence is happening, or that's going to blow up the State Department's travel advisory travel map, too.
But seriously, per Foreign Affairs Manual, the travel advisories are part of the Consular Affairs' Consular Information Program (CIP). It is a public outreach program through which the Department of State, through the Bureau of Consular Affairs (CA), and U.S. embassies and consulates, "inform U.S. citizens and nationals of potential threats to their health or safety abroad and provide information about consular services." Also this:
"All information provided to the public through the CIP represents the Department's objective assessment of conditions in a given country based on reliable information available at the time of publishing, as reported by posts, various Department bureaus, other U.S. government agencies and departments, foreign governments, and credible open sources."
Most importantly is this:
"Information provided through the CIP, including Travel Advisories and Alerts for U.S. citizens, is based on the overall assessment of the situation in country. By necessity, this analysis is undertaken without regard to political or economic considerations."
The Travel Advisory Review Committee (TARC) brings Department stakeholders together to discuss security information and how it is relayed via Travel Advisories. TARC includes representatives from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, (DS/TIA/ITA); Post's regional bureau; the Office of the Under Secretary for Political Affairs; the Office of the Under Secretary for Management; Representatives from other bureaus as appropriate based on the threat, to include: 1) Coordinator for Counter Terrorism (CT), when the threat is terrorism related; 2) Medical Services, when the threat is health related; 3) Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs (EB/TRA/OP), if there are aviation issues; 4) Legal offices (OCS/L/CA), when there are legal issues; 5) The Office of the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security (T), when there is a nuclear issue; 6) Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES), when the threat is environmental; and 7) Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL), if threat presents human rights concerns, such as LGBTI issues.
The TARC is chaired by CA's Overseas Citizen Services, an office that reports to the Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Carl Risch. Mr. Risch, however, has overall responsibility for the Consular Information Program (CIP), to include supervising and managing the program, and is authorized to determine the final wording of all products. CA's Carl Risch reports to the Under Secretary for Management Brian Bulatao. U/Secretary Bulatao in turn reports to the Deputy Secretary John Sullivan and Secretary Mike Pompeo.
So, if this president starts retaliating against countries that issue Travel Warnings for the United States, who's going to tell him "no"? We're ready to borrow the rules from the World Rock Paper Scissors Society, if needed.
So if the U.S. State Department issued a warning to U.S. citizens that travel to a certain country is unsafe, and that country threatened retaliation, would we drop the warning?

@StateDept Spox Talks "No Double Standard Policy" and 7 FAM 052 Loudly Weeps

So we asked about the State Department's "no double stand policy" on December 5 after media reports say that classified cables went out in the past 2 weeks warning US embassies worldwide to heighten security ahead of a possible @POTUS announcement recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
@TravelGov @StateDeptDSS @stateDept How come USCG Jerusalem appears to be the only one out with a security msg? If USG employees were warned, public should be, too. #nodoublestandardpolicy https://t.co/OAJFTmzNJZ

On December 7, the State Department press corps pressed the official spokesperson about a cable that reportedly asked agency officials to defer all nonessential travel to Israel, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. Note that the security messages issued by multiple posts on December 5 and 6 with few exceptions were personal security reminders, and warnings of potential protests. The Worldwide Caution issued on December 6 is an update "with information on the continuing threat of terrorist actions, political violence, and criminal activity against U.S. citizens and interests abroad."
None of the messages released include information that USG officials were warned to defer non-essential travel to the immediate affected areas. When pressed about this apparent double standard, the official spox insisted that "unfortunately, just as State Department policy, we don't comment on official – whether or not there was an official communication regarding — regarding this."
Noooooooooooooooooo!
The spox then explained what the "no double standard" policy means while refusing to comment on official communication that potentially violates such policy. And if all else fails, try "hard to imagine that our lawyers have not gone through things."
Holy moly guacamole, read this: 7 FAM 052 NO DOUBLE STANDARD POLICY
In administering the Consular Information Program, the Department of State applies a "no double standard" policy to important security threat information, including criminal information.
Generally, if the Department shares information with the official U.S. community, it should also make the same or similar information available to the non-official U.S. community if the underlying threat applies to both official and non-official U.S. citizens/nationals.
If a post issues information to its employees about potentially dangerous situations, it should evaluate whether the potential danger could also affect private U.S. citizens/nationals living in or traveling through the affected area.
The Department's "No Double Standard" policy, provided in 7 FAM 052, is an integral part of CA/OCS's approach to determine whether to send a Message. The double standard we guard against is in sharing threat-related information with the official U.S. community — beyond those whose job involves investigating and evaluating threats — but not disseminating it to the U.S. citizen general public when that information does or could apply to them as well.
Also this via 7 FAM 051.2(b) Authorities (also see also 22 CFR 71.1, 22 U.S.C. 2671 (b)(2)(A), 22 U.S.C. 4802, and 22 U.S.C. 211a):
…The decision to issue a Travel Alert, Travel Warning, or a Security or Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens for an individual country is based on the overall assessment of the safety/security situation there. By necessity, this analysis must be undertaken without regard to bilateral political or economic considerations. Accordingly, posts must not allow extraneous concerns to color the decision of whether to issue information regarding safety or security conditions in a country, or how that information is to be presented.
As to the origin of this policy, we would need to revisit the Lockerbie Bombing and Its Aftermath (this one via ADST's Oral History).
The State Department's official spokesperson via the Daily Press Briefing, December 7, 2017:
QUESTION: So a cable went out to all U.S. diplomatic and consular missions yesterday that asked State Department officials to defer all nonessential travel to the entirety of Israel, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. Normally when you are discouraging American officials from going to a particular area, under the no double standard rule, you make that public to all U.S. citizens so that they have the same information. I read through the Travel Warnings on Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza yesterday, both in the middle of the day and then at the end of the day after the worldwide caution, and I saw no similar warning to U.S. citizens or advice to U.S. citizens to defer nonessential travel to those areas. Why did you say one thing in private to U.S. officials and another thing – and not say the same thing in public to U.S. citizens?
MS NAUERT: Let me state the kinds of communication that we have put out to American citizens and also to U.S. Government officials. And one of the things we often say here is that the safety and security of Americans is our top priority. There are top policy priorities, but that is our overarching, most important thing, the safety and security of Americans.
We put out a security message to U.S. citizens on the 5th of December – on Monday, I believe it was. We put out a security message to our U.S. citizens that day – that was Tuesday? Okay, thank you – on the 5th of December. We put out another one on the 6th of December as well, expressing our concerns. We want to alert people to any possible security situations out of an abundance of caution. That information was put, as I understand it, on the State Department website, but it was also issued by many of our posts overseas in areas where we thought there could be something that could come up.
In addition to that, there is a Travel Warning that goes out regarding this region. That is something that is updated every six months, I believe it is. This Travel Warning for the region has been in effect for several, several years, so that is nothing new. In addition to that, we put out a worldwide caution. That is updated every six months. We had a worldwide caution in place for several years, but yesterday, out of an abundance of caution, we updated it. As far as I'm aware of, and I won't comment on any of our internal communications to say whether or not there were any of these internal communications because we just don't do that on any matter, but I think that we've been very clear with Americans, whether they work for – work for the U.S. Government or whether they're citizens traveling somewhere, about their safety and security. This is also a great reminder for any Americans traveling anywhere around the world to sign up for the State Department's STEP program, which enables us to contact American citizens wherever they are traveling in the case of an emergency if we need to communicate with them.
QUESTION: But why did you tell your officials not to travel to those areas between December 4th and December 20th, and not tell American citizens the same things? Because you didn't tell that to American citizens in all of the messages that you put up on the embassy website, on the consulate website, nor did you tell American citizens that in a Worldwide Caution, nor did you tell them that in the link to Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza that was put out by the State Department in the Worldwide Caution yesterday. You're telling your people inside one thing, and you're telling American citizens a different thing, and under your own rules, you are – there is supposed to be no double standard. Why didn't you tell U.S. citizens the same thing you told the U.S. officials?
MS NAUERT: Again, unfortunately, just as State Department policy, we don't comment on official – whether or not there was an official communication regarding —

QUESTION: (Off-mike.)
MS NAUERT: – regarding this. But I can tell you as a general matter, I think we have been very clear about the security concerns regarding Americans. We have put out those three various subjects or types of communications to American citizens who are traveling in areas that could be affected.
QUESTION: I'm going to ask you –
MS NAUERT: In terms of the U.S. Government, when we talk about the U.S. Government deferring non-essential travel, I would hope that people would not travel for non-essential reasons just as a general matter anyway.
QUESTION: But why – I'm going to ask you a hypothetical, which I would ask you to entertain, if you'll listen to it.
MS NAUERT: I'll listen to it. I'd be happy to listen to it.
QUESTION: If there were such communication, and you know and every U.S. diplomat who gets an ALDAC, which means every other person who works at the State Department knows that this communication went out – so if there were such communication, why would you say one thing to your own officials and a different thing to American citizens —
MS NAUERT: As our —
QUESTION: – which is what the law and your own rules require?
MS NAUERT: As you well know, we have a no "double standard." And for folks who aren't familiar with what that means, it's when we tell our staff something about a particular area or a security threat, we also share that same information with the American public. I would find it hard to imagine that our lawyers have not gone through things to try to make sure that we are all on the same page with the information that we provide to U.S. Government officials as well as American citizens. And that's all I have for you on that. Okay? Let's move on to something else.
Is there consideration for possible impacts of US travel #security advisories? No? It depends?

Is there consideration for possible economic impacts of US travel #security advisories? https://t.co/6sU7P5JLwy pic.twitter.com/H2HvY79F48
— OSAC (@OSACState) July 8, 2016
Below is an excerpt:
OPERATOR: Yes. Next we'll go to the line of Jackie Northam with NPR. Please go ahead.
QUESTION: Hi, thanks very much for doing this. I also have a couple of questions. And one is, is there any sort of consideration – I assume there is – about the economic impact of any of these Travel Warnings or advisories? I mean, tourism, surely, but also any sort of business deals that might be in the works, what sort of impact it'll have on the host country.
And the other thing is I'm just trying to – I'm curious about why you're doing this background call. Is – was something precipitated it? Was there just sort of a general, gosh, we should let everybody know, or did something happen that sort of pushed you to make this background call?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: Again, Jackie, great questions. No, we do not consider the economic impact, because again, as I said, just as when we go into a host government and explain that the purpose of our Consular Information Program is to help U.S. citizens living and traveling abroad make good decisions about their activities and their travel plans, we do not take economic considerations into that mix. It's purely about the security of American citizens. That said, we also work very closely with the Overseas Security Advisory Council – OSAC – which is a public-private partnership headed by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security. And so we are able to use OSAC and all of its thousands of members – U.S. companies, academic organizations, NGOs – to help disseminate our Consular Information Program documents and our Travel Alerts and Travel Warnings, our Security and Emergency Messages. And obviously, those companies will take all of that into account; they will work with OSAC on doing risk assessments for their own purposes to help develop security plans and so forth for both their U.S. employees as well as other nationalities who work for the companies.
Why are we doing this now? I think because recently we've had so many questions from the press about the differences between Travel Alerts, Travel Warnings. We just felt that it was a good time to try to explain what this is all about.
Actually, the policy says it is undertaken without regard to — not just economic but also political consideration. Per 7 FAM 051.2:
Information provided is based on our best objective assessment of conditions in a given country, as reported by posts as well as other Department bureaus, media, and other foreign and U.S. Government sources. The decision to issue a Travel Alert, Travel Warning, or a Security or Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens for an individual country is based on the overall assessment of the safety/security situation there. By necessity, this analysis must be undertaken without regard to bilateral political or economic considerations. Accordingly, posts must not allow extraneous concerns to color the decision of whether to issue information regarding safety or security conditions in a country, or how that information is to be presented.
The Foreign Affairs Manual also notes what happens when there are disagreements among bureaus:
Disagreements among bureaus over Cou..ntry Specific Information, Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, or Messages are generally resolved by either the Under Secretary for Political Affairs (P) or the Under Secretary for Management (M).
So economic or political consideration was not/not the reason why it took a geographic bureau "months" to get the front office in a high threat post to agree to that new travel warning. It was the typewriter's fault? Thank heavens that's cleared up 😳!
How many spring breakers drink too much and fall off hotel balconies? #SpringBreakingBadly

We're wondering if the handlers were told to stand in that corner and not/not do the Twitters again until further notice. But, look, the folks at the CA bureau know more than most folks what happens when spring break turns bad. They're the people who visits American citizens in jail, deliver the bad news to family members back home, assist victims of crimes overseas, identify bodies in morgues, and assist in the repatriation of remains, among other things. If this uproar and attention, actually reaches the spring break traveling folks (18- to 24-year-old demographic) and save one or two and their families some spring break horror stories, then it might be worth standing in a corner even just for a bit.
The Bureau of Consular Affairs' @TravelGov eventually apologized for the tweet.
Some have been offended by our earlier tweet and we apologize that it came off negatively 1/2
— Travel – State Dept (@TravelGov) March 30, 2016
We see many Americans fall victim to scams each year & want all to be careful while traveling 2/2
We almost wished State/CA did a Spring Break Straight Talk event with real stories similar to those from the UK-FCO (see Straight Talk on Consular Work, and Consuls Don't Do Chicken Coops, All right? and British Foreign Service Tackles Bizarre Requests: Monkey, Tattoo, Online Love and More). Or something like the Top 10 Spring Break Horror Stories from the field. Oops! The "world's most entertaining site" did one already with 10 Terrifying Real Life Spring Break Horror Stories last year. So best read that.
Anyway, we went looking for spring break crime statistics from the State Department. A spokesperson for the Bureau of Consular Affairs told us that they do not maintain statistics on arrests of, or crimes perpetrated against, U.S. citizens overseas during Spring Break. However, anecdotal information from its posts overseas and calls to the Office of Overseas Citizens Services in Washington indicates the most common crimes against U.S. citizens overseas are scams, robberies, and sexual assaults.
Here are some of the scenarios they want people (not just spring breakers) to be aware of:
Travelers wooed into bars by "friendly" locals to share drinks, only to discover the drinks were priced at $100+ dollars and the U.S. citizen is expected to pay;(note: read this Pattaya Scams – How to avoid getting scammed in Pattaya (or anywhere else!)
Travelers who unwittingly agree to carry packages from newfound local friends which contain drugs; (note: the average age of the couriers at about 59, with the oldest known courier 87 years old according to a congressional hearing in February this year).
Travelers who are offered free drinks at bars only to be drugged, robbed, and/or sexually assaulted; (note: read this Buyer beware: 10 common travel scams)
Travelers who drink too much and fall off hotel balconies (note: Travel Direct Insurance says that "Motorcycles are bad enough – throw in drink, drugs and no helmet, and you're almost guaranteed a trip to the hospital. The same goes for jumping from third floor balconies. We witness enough tragedies as it is, so PLEASE think about your personal safety, your experience and your limits when you travel. It doesn't matter whether you are 19 and it's your first trip overseas or 59 and have seen half the world, don't do things that are plain stupid."
The bureau also points to its page on international scams which notes that scams evolve constantly, and the list includes examples and resources will help alert travelers to the indicators of some common scams.
The bureau also offers advice to travelers for spring break here, all reasonable like obeying local laws, not carrying weapons (not even a pocketknife), avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, and drugs, and other commonsense advice.
Probably the most important thing to remember while in a foreign country is the non-portability of American rights. A U.S. citizen traveling overseas is subject to that foreign country's laws and regulations, which sometimes differ significantly from those in the United States and may not afford the protections available to the individual under U.S. law.
Also worth noting that while Uncle Sam can provide assistance when Americans are arrested or detained abroad, consular officers cannot demand the immediate release of a U.S. citizen arrested abroad or otherwise cause the citizen to be released. They cannot represent a U.S. citizen at trial, or give legal advice, or pay legal fees and/or fines with U.S. Government funds.

Here is part of the Worldwide Caution it issued in July:
The Department of State remains concerned about the continued threat of terrorist attacks, demonstrations, and other violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests overseas. In August 2014, the United States and regional partners commenced military action against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a designated terrorist organization in Syria and Iraq. In response to the airstrikes, ISIL called on supporters to attack foreigners wherever they are. Authorities believe there is an increased likelihood of reprisal attacks against U.S., Western and coalition partner interests throughout the world, especially in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and Asia.

Alerts are time-bound, true, usually 90 days or less, and expire automatically at the end of the prescribed period unless extended by the Department. Worldwide Caution is updated at least every six months.

The Worldwide Travel Alerts and Worldwide Caution are parts of the State Department's Consular Information Program (CIP). Below from the FAM:
The CIP "is not mandated by statute, but several statutes are relevant to the Department's performance of this function: Section 505 of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986 requires the Secretary to notify Congress whenever the Department issues a Travel Warning because of a terrorist threat or other security concern (22 U.S.C. 2656e). Section 321(f) of the Aviation Security Improvement Act of 1990, Public Law 101-604 (49 U.S.C. 44905), prohibits the notification of a civil aviation threat to "only selective potential travelers unless such threat applies only to them." See 7 FAM 052, No Double Standard Policy. See also 22 CFR 71.1, 22 U.S.C. 2671 (b)(2)(A), 22 U.S.C. 4802, and 22 U.S.C. 211a."
Information provided is based on our best objective assessment of conditions in a given country, as reported by posts as well as other Department bureaus, media, and other foreign and U.S. government sources. The decision to issue a Travel Alert, Travel Warning, or a Security or Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens for an individual country is based on the overall assessment of the safety/security situation there. By necessity, this analysis must be undertaken without regard to bilateral political or economic considerations. Accordingly, posts must not allow extraneous concerns to color the decision of whether to issue information regarding safety or security conditions in a country, nor how that information is to be presented.
Who is responsible for the issuance of the travel information program?
Within the State Department, that would be the Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Michele T. Bond who is responsible for supervising and managing the travel information program. But the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Overseas Citizens Services has primary day-to-day supervisory responsibility for the program. That's Deputy Assistant Secretary for Overseas Citizens Services Karen L. Christensen.
Within OCS, Michelle Bernier-Toth, the Managing Director in the Directorate of Overseas Citizens Services (CA/OCS) is responsible for the day-to-day management and issuance of travel information, including coordinating the preparation of all Country Specific Information, Travel Alerts, Travel Warnings, Worldwide Cautions, Messages, and Fact Sheets before their release.
Here are a few things to know about the Travel Alerts:
If a threat evaluated as credible, specific, and non-counterable is aimed at a broad group (e.g., U.S. citizens/nationals and/or U.S. interests generally), the Department will authorize the relevant post(s) to issue a Message, and may also issue or update a Travel Alert, Travel Warning, or Worldwide Caution.
The Department issues Travel Alerts to disseminate information about short-term conditions, generally within a particular country, that pose imminent risks to the security of U.S. citizens/nationals. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, coups, anniversaries of terrorist events, election-related demonstrations/violence, and high profile events such as an international conference or regional sports event are examples of conditions that might generate a Travel Alert.
Travel Alerts are issued for a specific period, usually 90 days or less, and expire automatically at the end of the prescribed period unless extended by the Department. If conditions warrant, the Department may cancel a Travel Alert before the end of the prescribed period via All Diplomatic and Consular Posts (ALDAC) cable and press release.
According to regs, CA/OCS reviews the Worldwide Caution continually and updates it at least every six months to ensure the most current general and regional safety and security information is shared with the U.S. citizen public.
The State Department admitted that it's not offering a different advice from what it has been been saying for over 10 years in Worldwide Caution. And folks have certainly wondered if the threats evaluated in this current Travel Alert are "credible, specific, and non-counterable" as directed by its rules book, or just one more CYA exercise; that is, if CA doesn't issue a warning/alert and something happens, you already know where the fingers will be pointed, but …
This new State Department travel warning is so universal, and so vague, as to make it entirely useless: https://t.co/YXVx2Ec25W
— Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) November 24, 2015
The Worldwide Caution already cites the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and Asia. The Worldwide Alert says that "Authorities believe the likelihood of terror attacks will continue as members of ISIL/Da'esh return from Syria and Iraq." That's not a short-term condition. And yet, the alert is only good until February 24, 2016. If the State Department issues an alert not based on credible and specific threats but simply on a belief that attacks could happen during a specific timeframe, how useful is that really?
The other concern, of course, is message fatigue. How long before folks stop taking this seriously?

The State Department appointed Carrie Greene, in the Office of Overseas Citizens Services, to be a liaison with the families. She seemed impatient with their independent investigations. "You really shouldn't be talking to these terrorists," she warned. "It's against the law." Viva Hardigg responded, "Excuse me, Carrie, but we are well acquainted with U.S. laws, and if someone you love is being held by terrorists, with whom else should you talk?" Greene ended her e-mails with "Please enjoy your day!"
When Peter Kassig was kidnapped, his parents got a call from a State Department official. Paula recalls, "She basically said, 'We know your son has been taken in Syria.

" In May, 2014, the families had a joint meeting with Daniel Rubinstein, a special envoy appointed to handle affairs in Syria. "He was nice, but when we asked how to contact him we were told not to e-mail or phone him," Diane Foley says. In order to talk with him on the phone, the families had to travel to a local F.B.I. office, so an agent could dial Rubinstein's number for them.

It was early on Saturday morning when I crossed the threshold into a quarantined community. I was entering r/TheRedPill(Opens in a new window), a subreddit dedicated to radical misogyny. This breeding ground of anti-women invective and conspiracy theories is so brazenly hostile, it's literally cordoned off like a health hazard. It was here that I hoped to trace the source of a term that is currently flooding the online forums devoted to male separatism and men's rights activism.
That term is "female privilege", and though it's not one you'd likely hear in everyday conversation, it's one that's reverberating loudly through the corridors of the Manosphere(Opens in a new window) — a constellation of anti-women, anti-feminist subcultures.
Since the 1990s, academics have identified "female privilege" as a central tenet of the men's rights movement. In 1996, the term was used by philosopher Kenneth Clatterbaugh to describe(Opens in a new window) the two schools of thought within the men's rights movement: "those who believe that men and women are equally harmed by sexism and those who believe that society has become a bastion of female privilege and male degradation." Two decades later and the latter school of thought has found its campus on Reddit, home to around 21,000 posts on the topic.
A quick Reddit search pulls up scores of colloquial definitions, theories, and lists to explain the concept in much more, erm, forceful language than Clatterbaugh's. "Check your privilege, feminist shitlords!" reads(Opens in a new window) a rallying cry of one Redditer who'd penned an exhaustive, 97-point explainer of the many privileges women enjoy over men. "If I'm not smart, but pretty, I can marry and achieve the social and financial level of my husband without ever working," they explain. "I not only have the more valuable and sought after sexual identity, but I also have complete control over my reproductive choice and in many ways over the reproductive choice of the opposite sex," they add.
The means to produce "offspring" is cited as another advantage women have, which men do not. According to the post this grants females an "'essential' status in our species that men can never have and which can never be taken away from...even in old age." As this ridiculous point might imply, the list cites very few attribution links to items stated as facts.
Another lengthy post(Opens in a new window) – authored by a "biological female" who says she speaks "against feminism" – declares that women have "no fear of getting rape accusations after a one-night-stand regrets her decision." (Extensive fact-checking(Opens in a new window) of this 'false rape accusation' narrative has found that men are actually more likely to be raped than be falsely accused of rape.)
There's a pattern among Redditers posting about female privilege. Some will cherrypick an individual headline or news story to submit "proof" that, societally, the odds are stacked in favour of women. The distribution of free menstrual products(Opens in a new window) – the point of which is to mitigate widespread period poverty(Opens in a new window) – appears to also be a hot button topic, especially when local government is funding it.
r/TheRedPill is one of the biggest proponents of female privilege, describing itself as a space for "discussion of sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men." Its premise is directly derived from the 1999 movie The Matrix, in which protagonist Neo is presented with a choice between two pills: one red, one blue. If he takes the blue pill, he continues to live in an illusory world in a state of blissful ignorance. If he takes the red pill, however, he will shed this mantle of ignorance and the truth will be revealed to him.
In the Red Pill world, that "truth" is that the world in which we currently live now favours women over men. "Our culture has become a feminist culture," reads(Opens in a new window) the subreddit's introduction page. "I am here to say, for better or for worse, the frame around public discourse is a feminist frame, and we've lost our identity because of it."
In this "feminist culture," women possess the ultimate privilege – sexual supremacy. "Feminism is a sexual strategy. It puts women into the best position they can find, to select mates, to determine when they want to switch mates, to locate the best DNA possible, and to garner the most resources they can individually achieve," the intro page continues.
In this heartland of incel rage and misogynist vitriol, female privilege is a justification for declaring war on feminism. And in this war, women are both the enemy and the most coveted objects of all.
"We should not underestimate the disastrous consequences that could befall women at the hands of online armies of radical misogynists."
It's easy to dismiss female privilege as a silly idea dreamt up by crackpot conspiracists; after all it's an empirical fact that men have vast systemic power(Opens in a new window) over women and, because of that, "female privilege" over men does not exist. But the Red Pill community wields a huge amount of power. A recent study by Florida State University found(Opens in a new window) that the Red Pill forum radicalised its subscribers during the 2016 presidential election, mobilising them to support Donald Trump. Far from being armchair activists with little effect, Trump's "legion of supporters in alt-right digital spaces" are directly impacting(Opens in a new window) today's politics. It's no secret that women's bodily autonomy and reproductive rights are under threat right now. Last week, Georgia, US, passed a new law banning abortions(Opens in a new window) as early as six weeks into pregnancy. Yesterday, Alabama followed suit,(Opens in a new window) restricting abortions in almost all cases.
Under the new laws, foetuses are considered persons with full rights, women found guilty of aborting or attempting to abort pregnancies could face prison sentences, and miscarriages could be investigated as possible homicides. We should not underestimate the disastrous consequences that could befall women at the hands of online armies of radical misogynists.
It's hard to know how people became so invested in the fallacy that women have power over men. In this age of evolving gender roles, these men likely fear that the privileges that have come hand in hand with their gender are under threat. As the famous quote goes: "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."
Having looked through thousands of posts about female privilege, I can also see that some of these believers occasionally identify instances where men face social inequalities – they're just mislabelling them as female privilege, which doesn't exist. What they're actually posting about is something called "male non-privilege" – like the fact that more men die by suicide(Opens in a new window) than women and the fact that traditional masculinity teaches(Opens in a new window) men to stifle and suppress their emotions, causing psychlogical harm. These instances of male non-privilege often stem from toxic masculinity, which is a by-product of living in a patriarchy.
Experts who've studied the causes of online radicalisation say there's no single route to being radicalised — there are a lot of contributing factors. J.M. Berger, an expert on terrorism and author of Jihad Joe: Americans Who Go to War in the Name of Islam(Opens in a new window), says that radicalisation can take place when a person has issues in their personal life(Opens in a new window) – like losing a loved one, experiencing mental illness, or being exposed to violence. To vulnerable men who feel forgotten in the world, communities that unite angry men and fuel their rage might provide a false sense of belonging.
It's easy to laugh at the absurdity of the views expressed by female privilege believers, but we should be alarmed. We're already seeing the rights of women being eroded, but given the Red Pill's instrumental role in getting Trump elected, there's no telling where radical online misogyny may lead us next.
Meet a self-confessed female privilege believer...
I decided I'd try and track down a self-confessed female privilege believer to find out more about the kinds of beliefs they hold.
People who post about female privilege on Reddit tend to hang out in subreddits renowned for their extreme misogynist and antifeminist views. Among their favourites are r/mensrights(Opens in a new window), r/mensrants(Opens in a new window), r/menkampf(Opens in a new window), and a subreddit called r/pussypass(Opens in a new window), which describes itself as [sic] "a modern phenomenon where by just owning a pussy gets you benefits." Some appear to be abstaining from masturbation and relationships with women based on their posts in r/MGTOW(Opens in a new window) and r/NoFap, a subreddit for people who want to stop masturbating.
But, to give you an idea of who these people are outside of posting misogynist rants, their interests and hobbies include video games (many post in subreddits dedicated to specific games like Bloodborne, League of Legends as well as communities like r/gaming(Opens in a new window) and r/gamingcirclejerk(Opens in a new window)). Some of them are big sport fans, who post thousands of times about college football. Others prefer Harry Potter fanfiction, Spongebob memes, and The Lord of The Rings.
It took four days of non-stop trawling through threads to find one female privilege believer who was willing to talk to me. Two other Redditers had initially said "sure!" when I contacted them via DM asking if they'd be willing to answer some questions. But after sending questions asking them whether they supported gender equality or if they'd come across any research that might point to the prevalence of male privilege, I never heard from them again.
One Redditer and female privilege exponent — who regularly posts in r/MensRights(Opens in a new window) and free speech subreddit r/Not1984(Opens in a new window) — explained his views to me via Reddit DM. He tells me he's 45 years old and he manages a small business, sourcing and selling parts for the agricultural industry in Denmark. His profile is marked as only suitable for Redditers over 18. He told me the concept is important to him because society is creating "a distorted picture" by always talking about "women, women's issues, women as victims" and not focusing on men's issues. "There are issues on both sides, but the media only ever really talks about one side. And often falsely so..."
Below you'll find a transcript of our conversation, with a note from me, for accuracy.
Why is the concept of female privilege important to you?
Him: Well, because I think if society always talk about women, women's issues, women as victims etc, you don't talk about men's, you are creating a distorted picture. There are issues on both sides, but the media only ever really talks about one side. And often falsely so (see: gender wage gap(Opens in a new window) myth).
What kind of response has your post(Opens in a new window) [on female privilege] had?
Him: I'd say pretty negative, mirroring society. We do not like to talk about it. You have one user saying "well uhh bill cosby". [sic] As if ONE example somehow invalidates my claim. I don't care about individual examples, I'm talking about the broader picture.
When you were researching your post, did you come across any evidence that might suggest the opposite — that men might have a lot of advantages that women do not have?
Him: Conjecture and opinion? Yes. Actual evidence? No.
Note: Evidence shows that as a society, we have not been collecting sex-disaggregated data (data specific to women) which means that everything from urban planning, transportation, policy, design, medicine, manufacturing all ignore the needs of 50% of the world's population. Research by the University of Virginia's Centre for Applied Biomechanics found(Opens in a new window) that women are 47% more likely to be seriously injured in a car crash than men because safety features are designed for men.
Why do you think people in wider society aren't talking about female privilege?
Him: Well, women don't want to talk about it, for the most part. Easier to be the victims, and claim power through that. And unfortunately many men are weak individuals, who have been led to believe that they can gain points by supporting whatever women say. So you're left with a small minority of women, and a large minority of men, which could potentially be talking about it, but this group has almost zero sway with the mass media and political elite, who overwhelmingly favour "the other side".

Central Nervous System Trauma
Author : S. Tsuyoshi Ohnishi
Genre : Science
Central nervous system trauma, which encompasses stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, head injury, and spinal cord injury, is a leading cause of death in developed countries. In the search for underlying mechanisms, membrane involvement has been the common link. This fourth volume in the Membrane-Linked Diseases series is therefore dedicated to research on CNS trauma. Focusing on the mechanism of membrane damage, Central Nervous System Trauma: Research Techniques presents a variety of experimental techniques to study the mechanism of CNS trauma. Animal and tissue culture models provide the bulk of the research findings in this area. Possible pharmacological interventions are analyzed. This volume offers numerous illustrative examples, including full color figures. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers, assisting in the comprehension of current trends in CNS trauma and helping to stimulate the discovery of new research areas.

Magnesium In The Central Nervous System
Author : Robert Vink
The brain is the most complex organ in our body. Indeed, it is perhaps the most complex structure we have ever encountered in nature. Both structurally and functionally, there are many peculiarities that differentiate the brain from all other organs. The brain is our connection to the world around us and by governing nervous system and higher function, any disturbance induces severe neurological and psychiatric disorders that can have a devastating effect on quality of life. Our understanding of the physiology and biochemistry of the brain has improved dramatically in the last two decades. In particular, the critical role of cations, including magnesium, has become evident, even if incompletely understood at a mechanistic level. The exact role and regulation of magnesium, in particular, remains elusive, largely because intracellular levels are so difficult to routinely quantify. Nonetheless, the importance of magnesium to normal central nervous system activity is self-evident given the complicated homeostatic mechanisms that maintain the concentration of this cation within strict limits essential for normal physiology and metabolism. There is also considerable accumulating evidence to suggest alterations to some brain functions in both normal and pathological conditions may be linked to alterations in local magnesium concentration. This book, containing chapters written by some of the foremost experts in the field of magnesium research, brings together the latest in experimental and clinical magnesium research as it relates to the central nervous system. It offers a complete and updated view of magnesiums involvement in central nervous system function and in so doing, brings together two main pillars of contemporary neuroscience research, namely providing an explanation for the molecular mechanisms involved in brain function, and emphasizing the connections between the molecular changes and behavior. It is the untiring efforts of those magnesium researchers who have dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of magnesiums role in biological systems that has inspired the collation of this volume of work.
Drug Action In The Central Nervous System
Author : Paul M. Carvey
A textbook of neuropsychopharmacology focused on the mechanisms of drug action in the central nervous system, this volume covers drugs used in both psychiatry and neurology and gives a clear picture of their behavioral, therapeutic, and toxic effects.
Author : Hartwig Kuhlenbeck
In 1927, Hartwig Kuhlenbeck published a series of lectures on the central nervous system of vertebrates and gave neurobiology its standard reference for decades. The present work, now complete in 5 volumes, represents a monumental expansion of the early lectures.
The Human Central Nervous System
The present edition of The Human Central Nervous System differs considerably from its predecessors. In previous editions, the text was essentially confined to a section dealing with the various functional systems of the brain. This section, which has been rewritten and updated, is now preceded by 15 newly written chapters, which introduce the pictorial material of the gross anatomy, the blood vessels and meninges and the microstructure of its various parts and deal with the development, topography and functional anatomy of the spinal cord, the brain stem and the cerebellum, the diencephalon and the telencephalon. Great pains have been taken to cover the most recent concepts and data. As suggested by the front cover, there is a focus on the evolutionary development of the human brain. Throughout the text numerous correlations with neuropathology and clinical n- rology have been made. After much thought, we decided to replace the full Latin terminology, cherished in all previous editions, with English and Anglicized Latin terms. It has been an emotional farewell from beautiful terms such as decussatio hipposideriformis W- nekinkii and pontes grisei caudatolenticulares. Not only the text, but also the p- torial material has been extended and brought into harmony with the present state of knowledge. More than 230 new illustrations have been added and many others have been revised. The number of macroscopical sections through the brain has been extended considerably. Together, these illustrations now comprise a complete and convenient atlas for interpreting neuroimaging studies.
