Augustin-Jean Fresnel and the Wave Theory of Light
10. March 2018 Tabea Tietz
On March 10, 1788, French civil engineer and physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel was born. Augustin-Jean Fresnel's research in optics led to the almost unanimous acceptance of the wave theory of light, excluding any remnant of Newton's corpuscular theory, from the late 1830s until the end of the 19th century. "It's not observation but theory that led me to this result that experience has confirmed afterwards." – Augustin-Jean Fresnel, explaining how he was led to…
Hans Christian Ørsted connecting Electricity and Magnetism
9. March 2018 Harald Sack
On March 9, 1851, Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted passed away. Hans Christian Ørsted discovered that electric currents create magnetic fields, which was the first connection found between electricity and magnetism. He is still known today for Oersted's Law and the oersted (Oe), the cgs unit of magnetic H-field strength, is named after him. "The agreement of this law with nature will be better seen by the repetition of experiments than by…

Emil Wiechert – Mapping the Inner Structure of the Earth
26. December 2017 Tabea Tietz
On December 26, 1861, German geophysicist Emil Johann Wiechert was born. Wiechert made many contributions to both fields, including presenting the first verifiable model of a layered structure of the Earth and being among the first to discover the electron. He invented the "inverted pendulum" seismograph, (an improvement still incorporated in today's instruments), with which he was able to detect some of the Earth's inner structure. He suggested the Earth has an inner,…
The Celestial Mechanics of Anders Johan Lexell
On December 24, 1740, Finnish-Swedish astronomer, mathematician, and physicist Anders Johan Lexell was born. Lexell made important discoveries in polygonometry and celestial mechanics; the latter led to a comet named in his honour. La Grande Encyclopédie states that he was the prominent mathematician of his time who contributed to spherical trigonometry with new and interesting solutions, which he took as a basis for his research of comet and planet motion. His name…
Nicholas Callan and the Induction Coil
On December 22, 1799, Irish priest and physicist Nicholas Callan was born. Callan invented the induction coil (1836) before that of better-known Heinrich Ruhmkorff. Callan's coil was built using a horseshoe shaped iron bar wound with a secondary coil of thin insulated wire under a separate winding of thick insulated wire as the "primary" coil. Each time a battery's current through the "primary" coil was interrupted, a high voltage current was produced in…

COACH SUPPORT FOR THE NECESSITY OF THE OTC INITIATIVE CONTINUES
Samorin EJU OTC "Going for Gold" 2022
Samorin, Slovakia, are currently hosting the first OTC of the year in the absence of the traditional Mittersill training camp, providing the best situations for our professional judoka.
The OTC purpose stemmed from the EJU Presidential support for national federations to succeed at the highest level. Top-level international training is compulsory in assisting athletes to get to and be successful at the Olympic Games. Famously, Majlinda Kelmendi (KOS) became Olympic champion in 2016 and was greatly celebrated, especially due to the lack of success from the country in judo prior to this.
Since then we can see how support can help those judoka, and not just the Olympic champions from Kosovo, but those who have been successful at major events including Lukas Krpalek (CZE), Jorge Fonseca (POR) and Barbara Matić (CRO).
Current World Champion Matić decided to come to Samorin with the team of Croatia. With them arrived the winner of the 2010 IJF Grand Slam in Rio de Janeiro (BRA) and silver medallist of the 2013 European Championships, Tomislav Marijanović who is now one of the national coaches with a master degree in kinesiology.

Tomislav, you were a high performance athlete and now coach, how do you think lockdown and post-covid situations have affected the competitors from your perspective?
I think they did well, given the ordinary population, athletes are used to all kinds of situations and have adapted much better than the rest of the people. For them, travel, respecting the rules, various restrictions on a daily basis are a normal thing, so in that sense they are much more advanced than others.
In the times when you were competitor there were not so many training camps, how important are OTCs for competitor development?
It's the most important, I just talked to my colleagues recently about how we didn't have as many sparring partners as new generations have, especially when compared to big teams like Russia or France. But here we could see that some of the nations were not as good as expected at the Tokyo Olympic Games since they remained "closed", while others followed OTC camps and had a lot of different sparring partners, and this can be seen from the results that other countries are constantly rising and progressing.
OTCs are clearly important, how much can federations benefit or improve by hosting such events?
In my opinion every federation should organize an OTC, not only for senior level, as we can see this is a top development event, but for junior and cadet level too. Already from the age of 14 or 15, they can have contact with top competitors from other countries. I think it would be much better to do more training camps than competitions at that age. Of course I am aware that we have training camps after the U21 and U18 tournaments, but that was the case before in the seniors as well. Now at the OTC you come here to train for 10 days and it's a much different mental set in your head when you come to just train than when you train after a competition for three days.
Rustam Orujov (AZE) © Carlos Ferreira
Which competitors do you follow that are not from Croatia, that is, that have impressed you lately with their performance?
Ono, it's the best fighter I've ever watched, but I think judo is going in the right direction and it's a pleasure to watch judo now compared to 10-15 years ago when the rules were different. The quality of the performance, especially the technical one, I think is going in the right direction, you can find ingenuity in each of the top 20 judokas. Of course, Ono stands out, but if we talk about that category, Orujov is also top class and I enjoy watching him. So it's not just the result that matters, because others have techniques and knowledge. I wouldn't single out much here, as there are also judokas such as Majdov or Žgank, because judo is much better than before, the competitors are better, more prepared and better trained than ever before. Certainly, the better rules, according to which it is seen that we are going in the right direction, are much more offensive.
Speaking to 1985 Seoul World Championships bronze medallist, coach of 1996 Atlanta Olympic Champion Pavel Nastula (POL) and now EJU Sport Director, Wieslaw Blach PhD, he explained the importance of an OTC and gave us figures to help understand just how much support is given in order to ensure the increased sparring partners necessary as Marijanović stated,
In 2018, 83 entries from 13 national federations were supported, in 2019, 131 from 17 and in 2020, 45 from 10. In 2021 there was an increase to 100 entries, 66 entries from 13 nations for the OTC camps and for the EJU training camps, 34 entries from 9 national federations. This extended support was a result of the pandemic and the knowledge that many more athletes would be in dire need of help in the run up to the Olympic Games.
Wiesław Blach – EJU Sport Director © Thea Cowen
Blach also extended a message from the President of Judo Denmark, given that the presidential support offered to the athletes of Denmark meant that in 33 years, there was a representative at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. This would not have been possible without the OTC initiative.
It is easy to see how important it is for the majority of athletes but when the smaller and less affluent nations who are receiving the financial help to fulfill their goals are qualifying and medaling at major tournaments, the proof is simply in the results.

Storm damage at fish hatchery could impact sport fishing, orca food source
By Steve Kiggins
Chinook fry killed in power outage
KITSAP PENINSULA, Wash. – A salmon hatchery on the Kitsap Peninsula is still recovering after last week's wild wind and rain storm.
Millions of fish died after a power outage at the Minter Creek Hatchery and the loss could have an impact on not only commercial and sport fishing but our endangered orca.
"This is one of the vertical incubators of White River Chinook that survived," said Jim Jenkins from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Jenkins and his team at the Pierce County hatchery continue to assess the damage and count the fish who may still have a chance to survive.
"To lose them is a major setback," added Jenkins.
It all Friday when the hatchery lost power. What's worse, the backup generator failed – and without that generator, the hatchery couldn't keep water flowing over the fish. Without that flowing water, the fish here were in deep trouble.
"When the water stops the oxygen demand goes up, the oxygen supply doesn't return and suffocation starts," he said.
As many as 6.2 million chinook salmon fry didn't have enough oxygen to breathe. And while it's a big blow to the operation the lasting impact may not be fully felt in several years when these survivors return to spawn.
Plus, the impact could mean more trouble for orca already struggling to find ample food.
"Everyone in the food chain, from microorganisms in the streams all the way to the killer whale," he said.
The Washington State Department of fish and wildlife is now working with NOAA and tribal governments to work on a solution to soften the blow for the fish returning to spawn in four to five years.
The state is also looking to improve procedures to minimize the same power loss from happening again.
The good news, WDFW work crews say they were able to save the entire chum program, 600-thousand coho yearlings and more than a million coho eggs. But the true impact of losing more than 6-million chinook fry may not be felt for years.
"Without the salmon in the Pacific Northwest you lose a huge piece of our culture, economy and contribution these animals make to the natural world," he said.

Critics' Choice Awards 2020: Red Carpet Hits & Misses Ranked
Ranked: Critics' Choice Awards Red Carpet Hits & Misses Of The Decade
Golden Globes 2015 Best Dressed: Who Will Rock The Red Carpet?
By Cate	In	Fashion on January 10, 2015
Golden Globe Red Carpet Looks From Past Years Ranked
Golden Globes: Most Disappointing Dresses
DFree / Shutterstock.com
This Sunday, the Golden Globe Awards will be airing in your living room. We can't wait to see what all the nominees, presenters and other attendees will wear to this fun and glamorous event. There are some people who we are fairly certain will leave a good impression while there are a number of others who could be a hit or miss. We hope that they all have their stylists on speed dial because this is one of the biggest events this awards season and anything can happen. Here are our predictions for which celebrities we think will be the best dressed at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards!
7. Lupita Nyong'O
Lupita Nyong'O completely blew us away last year. She rocked the award circuit, winning the Screen Actors Guild Award and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "12 Years a Slave" and she learned to own the red carpet. She's learned so much since her meteoric rise to fame that this year, at the Golden Globe Awards, we expect to see her wearing something fantastic. She will be one of the presenters, so it will give her the perfect opportunity to show us that she still has "it."
Like most celebrities, Nyong'O has a stylst, Micaela Erlanger. She considers the red carpet new runway. It is up to actors and actresses to teach the world about fashion. We can expect to see this Oscar-winning actress wearing something colorful and bold. She obviously likes to have fun with fashion and what better occasion than the 2015 Golden Globe Awards.
6. Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale does glam like no one else in Hollywood. She may not be the most successful of actresses, but she owns the red carpet whenever she gets the chance. For a while there, she was styled by Rachel Zoe; however, as of 2010, she had officially left her for her former assistant, Taylor Jacobson. It really doesn't matter which stylist she goes with though – she always looks breathtakingly beautiful whenever she goes out.
This year, Beckinsale is going to be a presenter at the Golden Globe Awards. Even though she is not up for any awards, we expect her to dress to the nines because that is what she does best. We can count on her to wear some curve-hugging dress that shows off her assets. Couple that with some fabulous accessories and we will have one of the best dressed celebrities on the red carpet. Beckinsale never disappoints!
5. Kerry Washington
Kerry Washtington has become so chic. When she was first starting out, her style was pretty forgettable; however, with some time, she has managed to perfect it, thus establishing herself as one of Hollywood's most stylish celebrities. We think her stylist, Erin Walsh, deserves some of the credit for this transformation.
According to the "Scandal" star, they are quite in sync when it comes to style. "We're very collaborative. I feel like we were fashion twins separated at birth," she said. "We come up with stories for a particular season or a particular press tour. In terms of narrative – that goes into silhouette, texture, cut – making distinctions and having each moment. We use that word a lot: 'moment.'" We expect Washington to make a big statement at the Golden Globe Awards this year. We have caught wind that she will be presenting, which means we should expect to see her in an exceptional ensemble.
On the red carpet, Keira Knightley never messes around. She always dresses for success and it almost always pays off for her. We doubt that this will change at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards. She's up for the Best Supporting Actress award for her performance in "The Imitation Game," so we are expecting some really great fashion from her. Even if she doesn't end up taking the award home this time, we expect her to, at the very least, land on all the best dressed lists.
This will be her first red carpet event since announcing her pregnancy. We are really excited to see her maternity style. Some women really like to show off their bumps in their gowns and we hope Knightley will give us that! It looks like she is looking to slow down this year professionally. She's worked pretty solidly for the past six years and she is looking to do no more than two films a year now. As long as she keeps wowing us on the red carpet, we're fine with that decision!
3. Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson gets fashion. It doesn't matter whether she is on the street or on the red carpet – she almost always delivers. Over the years, she has gone from boho chic to completely glam. This might be because of the stylists she works with. As many of us know from "The Rachel Zoe Project," the bubbly blond used to work with the stylist-reality star. Rumor has it that she severed ties with Zoe because her services became too expensive.
These days, Hudson works with Sophie Lopez. It is a good fit according to Lopez. "She is very involved. She knows what she likes and what works for her. She has a great eye and she enjoys fashion, which is always so wonderful when working with somebody. The good thing is we tend to gravitate toward the same options," she told Style.com. Since Hudson is presenting at the Golden Globes this year, we expect to see some effortless glamor!
2. Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain does not know what she is wearing to the Golden Globe Awards this year and she doesn't have a lot of time to waste figuring it out. After looking at her past looks on the red carpet, we aren't especially worried. She knows how to hit it right out of the ballpark without even really trying. We think this might have to do with her celebrity stylist, Elizabeth Stewart. She knows how to give Chastain that dreamy, ethereal sort of look for events.
The Golden Globe-nominated actress won our hearts the other day when she responded to Russell Crowe's comment about older actresses having the same opportunities as older men. "I think he's getting his foot stuck in his mouth," she said. "I think there are some incredible actresses in their 50s and 60s that are not getting opportunities in films. And for someone to say there are plenty of roles for women that age – they're not going to the movies enough."
Emma Stone will be attending the Golden Globe Awards this year. She is up for a Best Supporting Actress Award for her role in "Birdman." We are excited to see what she wears on the red carpet. Over the last several years, she's really established herself as the one of the most fashionable young stars today. We can thank her stylist, Petra Flannery, for that. We hope she has something good planned for this Sunday because this is a big event!
When the "Easy A" star first received her Golden Globe nomination, she was petty cute about the whole thing. "I have no words. I am so incredibly honored and grateful for this and feel insanely lucky to have had the chance to work with Alejandro, Michael, Edward, and the whole cast and crew of the beautiful madness that is Birdman. Now can someone please explain who this 'Meryl Streep' woman is?!" she said.

Located at a major north west tourist attraction this project involved the conversion of a former residential dwelling into a tea room / restaurant. The building and grounds were grade II listed and carefully consideration was required in the design and specification of materials to ensure the character and appearance of the building were retained.
As part of the improvements an outbuilding was incorporated into the main building and this involved replacement of the floor and upgrading the thermal performance of the walls and roof. This area was fitted out as the preparation kitchen and linked through a new opening to the new kitchen and servery.
The change of use from residential to commercial use required upgrading of the fire performance and specialist intumescent coatings were used to improve the fire resistance of the existing lath and plaster ceilings and timber paneled doors.
The suspended timber floors to the first floor dining areas were strengthened using steel plates and a timber post to meet the requirements for the increased loading from the proposed use.
New services were installed including lighting, power and emergency lighting together with a fire alarm. A new LPG fired boiler and central heating system was also installed fed from an underground storage tank in the adjacent woodland. A new foul drainage connection was also provided.
Access improvements including creating a level approach to the front door through raising the external paving and construction of an internal ramp to overcome the change of levels to the ground floor.

When I wrote about the advice I received from prominent physicians and nutrition scientists (through face-to-face counsel and public campaigns), to stop eating animal products, I never expected the kind of response that I got. I really was surprised by your emails, comments and messages: sharing your own experiences and your plans for improving your health by changing your eating habits. In the midst of all the thoughts you shared, many of you told me straight up that (although you knew it would be the healthier choice) you weren't ready to give up your favourite meats. For some, it was the jerk pork, for others it was the curried chicken and some of you are still wondering if steamed fish counts as 'meat'. LOL. But, have you ever wondered if you're addicted to meat?
No, I'm not joking. No substance should have such control on you that you can't imagine doing without; or cause you to publicly declare that you "can't give it up"; or cause you to threaten another person for taking some of your 'stash'.
"But, it tastes good!", you protest. Then, I must ask: Do you if you really know the true taste of meat? Do you enjoy the sight, scent and taste of raw, animal flesh? Or is it the plants that are used to flavour it that has you hooked? Yes, plants: herbs and spices are all plants. The curry powder, the black pepper, the escallion and thyme, the pimento and scotch bonnet – you're only left with salt. Even sashimi (the uncooked slices of fish popular in sushi restaurants) is served with wasabi and soy sauce (both made from plants).
Whether you're addicted or have a moderate control on the foods you eat, you want to live a vibrant life in which you are happy and healthy. The wonderful thing about life is that we have all been given the power to CHOOSE. It doesn't matter the circumstance, there are always more than one way to go about things. So, I want to encourage you to choose more foods that heal, energise and promote life. So, the next meal you have, will it be made up foods that are healing medicines to your body or a slow poison leading to chronic disease?

Joseph, Oregon
Established in 1879, Joseph Oregon was the first real town in the county. Named in honor of the Nez Perce Chief Joseph, he referred to the area as 'Hah-um-sah-pah', meaning 'big rocks lying scattered around.'
Early settlers engaged in cattle, sheep, fruit and timber operations, later moving onto mercantile, banking and lodging.
The area is still scattered with white salt-and-pepper granite rocks and real Cowboys still work cattle the old way. Due to the mountain streams and 13 to 22 inches of rainfall, Joseph stands like a gleaming emerald in a normally brown Eastern Oregon landscape. Its farms produce some of the best grass and alfalfa anywhere, despite the short growing season.
At last count (2010) the population stood at 1125, growing by just 70 people in 10 years. The elevation is 4200′, and is located 71 miles east of La Grande, the closest major city. There are no traffic lights here, or anywhere else in the county for that matter. Despite it's small size, it has great schools and a modern 5000′ airport runway capable of landing small jets. In the last 20 years Art and Bronze Sculpture have grown to supplement the agricultural industry.

In mid Jan we brought you the post Kent County Council Land: The most popular site in Britain in which we informed you that Quinn Estates along with Atlas Partners Group Ltd (APG Ltd), owned by Mr Nicholas Brown, yes he who owns the former White Lion Pub in Cheriton and is firmly offshore in the British Virgin Islands, have both expressed an interest in the land below which is vital to the building of a new Super Hospital and 2,000 new homes.
We now understand that offers by both interested parties have submitted formal offers for the land marked orange above. Quinn Estates lodged their offer on the 30/11/2017 and APG Ltd lodged theirs on 1/12/2017.
Now we know that a third party was expressing an interest in the land (and possibly a fourth) but they have yet to make a formal offer to Kent County Council. We understand though the third party have approached KCC to discuss the acquisition of the site.
As we understand the site has not yet been marketed, nor is there a defined announcement date, nor is there a formal tender process or bid criteria in place as we understand.
bids by a date to be specified, if deemed appropriate.
This is all seriously f**ked up.
An offshore submitting an offer/bid for the land. Might they use offshore accounts to pay the 'right' person/s? How would we know?
Also Quinn comes in for a lot of sh*t but companies such as his don't give their money away for nothing. There is surely an understanding (probably not made explicit) that large campaign donations buy political access and favourable consideration in policy development and legislation. Why else would a company/corporation, which is bound by law to pursue profits, make these donations?
Pity both of them can't be banned from making any offer/bid.

Stewart Brand on How Cities Learn
On WorldChanging Chris Coldeway discusses a recent talk by Stewart Brand on how cities learn. In 1994, he wrote the excellent book How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They're Built:
The redoubtable Stewart Brand gave a talk at GBN last night on global urbanization, expanding the "City Planet" material he first outlined at a Long Now talk and [WorldChanging] covered in detail. As we stand in 2006 at a point where the world's population tips from mostly rural to mostly urban, Stewart considers this a good time to ruminate on the nature of cities and the causes and implications of a rapidly urbanizing world.
In typical Brand form, the talk swept from the beginnings of civilization — with a view of one of the oldest continuously occupied areas and discussion of how Jerusalem has been sacked or taken over 36 times — to the future of the world, with a look at the largest megacities of 2015. While the largest cities one hundred years ago were primarily in the US and Europe, these 21st century megacities are profoundly global. With cities such as Mumbai, Sao Paulo, and Karachi dominating the list, Stewart noted the similarity to another era of international cities — 1000 AD.
In asking himself how cities "learn" over time in the way that buildings do, Stewart found that while cities do learn, they also teach: they teach civilization how to be civilized. He discussed Levittown as a counterintuitive example, with its lenient do-it-yourself home customization policies actually facilitating the development of community. Squatter cities in the developing world were another example, with the view that squatter cities are what a population getting out of poverty ASAP looks like: self-constructed, and self-organizing, and vibrant.
Stewart sees cities playing out the same patterns of "pace layering" that he sees in civilization overall. Nature changes the slowest, with culture, governance, infrastructure, commerce, and fashion as progressively faster changing "layers." Cities specialize in acceleration, in the faster cycles of commerce and fashion, but must balance those with the slower layers at the risk of collapse.
I previously mentioned Stewart Brand on cities in Feb and Sept 2005.
Ecological Management, General
Alternative Strategies of Ecosystem Managmenet and Institutional Interplay
Henry Regier explaining conflict over management of the Great Lakes, when he recieved a life time achievement award for important and continued contributions to the field of Great Lakes research. (From Post-normal Times):
Two strategies have been used within our Great Lakes Basin's governance institutions in recent decades to cope with adverse interrelationships between humans and the rest of nature. Important features of each strategy can be traced back to different emphases within Darwinism a century ago. T. H. Huxley emphasized the role of agonistic or combative interactions within natural selection while P. Kropotkin emphasized mutualistic or cooperative interactions. Capitalists invoked Huxley's Mutual Harm version for legitimation of their practices while communitarians invoked Kropotkin's Mutual Aid version. Implicitly the more legalistic regulatory strategies that now dominate within governance in our Basin presuppose Mutual Harm dynamics and seek to temper such harm through pre-cast technocratic capabilities. Participatory democratic programs, now sub-dominant, seek to foster Mutual Aid dynamics less formally. Old Rational Management tries to Temper Mutual Harm Technocratically, TMHT. Drama-of-the-Commons Governance tries to Foster Mutual Aid Democratically, FMAD. Currently, the higher the level of governance in which action on some environmental issue is centred, the more likely that TMHT will dominate, and vice versa. This asymmetry creates problems in hybrid cross-level Adaptive Co-Management and vertical inter-agency partnerships.

New Orleans and the ecology of the Mississippi River
January 9, 2006 Garry Peterson	Leave a comment
Richard Sparks writes about the ecological/geological context in which New Orleans exists, how people have changed them, and what rebuilders should consider. His article is Rethinking, Then Rebuilding New Orleans, in the Winter 2006 Issues in Science and Technology.
His article focusses on the natural forces that have shaped the Mississippi and how humans have shaped those forces. One of the most interesting points he raises is how land cover change, and river management have radically changed the sediment load of the Mississippi, shifting the balance between land building and subsidence in the delta. In other words flood protection higher in the river has made lower portions of the river more vulnerable to flooding.
Figure: The sediment loads carried by the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico have decreased by half since 1700, so less sediment is available to build up the Delta and counteract subsidence and sea level rise. The greatest decrease occurred after 1950, when large reservoirs constructed trapped most of the sediment entering them. Part of the water and sediment from the Mississippi River below Vicksburg is now diverted through the Corps of Engineers' Old River Outflow Channel and the Atchafalaya River. Without the controlling works, the Mississippi would have shifted most of its water and sediment from its present course to the Atchafalaya, as part of the natural delta switching process. The widths of the rivers in the diagram are proportional to the estimated (1700) or measured (1980–1990) suspended sediment loads (in millions of metric tons per year).
When are economics models of human behaviour reasonable?
Colin Camerer and Ernst Fehr have a great review paper in When Does 'Economic Man' Dominate Social Behavior? (Science 6 January 2006: 47-52), of how social context interacts within individual difference. The article begins by laying out the 'rational actor' assumption that has underpins most economic theory, along with the recent challenges to this view. Populations seem to farily consistently contain self-regarding and cooperative individuals individuals. Self-regarding individuals approximate 'Economic Man', while cooperative actors reward cooperation and are willing to bear a cost for punishing unfair behaviour.
The rationality assumption consists of two components: first, individuals are assumed to form, on average, correct beliefs about events in their environment and about other people's behavior; second, given their beliefs, individuals choose those actions that best satisfy their preferences. If individuals exhibit, however, systematically biased beliefs about external events or other people's behavior or if they systematically deviate from the action that best satisfies their preferences, we speak of bounded rationality. Preferences are considered to be self-regarding if an individual does not care per se for the outcomes and behaviors of other individuals. Self-regarding preferences may, therefore, be considered to be amoral preferences because a self-regarding person neither likes nor dislikes others' outcomes or behaviors as long as they do not affect his or her economic well-being. In contrast, people with other-regarding preferences value per se the outcomes or behaviors of other persons either positively or negatively. A large body of evidence accumulated over the last three decades shows that many people violate the rationality and preference assumptions that are routinely made in economics. Among other things, people frequently do not form rational beliefs, objectively irrelevant contextual details affect their behavior in systematic ways, they prefer to be treated fairly and resist unfair outcomes, and they do not always choose what seems to be in their best interest.
The interesting part of this review is how the behaviour of 'cooperative' and 'economic' actors changes based upon the context in which they interact and their perceptions about the composition of population an individual is interacting with. The presence of cooperators can causes 'economic' actors to behave cooperatatively, and the presence of 'economic' actors can cause cooperative actors to behave in a more self-regarding fashion.
To show how the interactions between strong reciprocators and self-regarding individuals shape bargaining behavior, we consider the ultimatum game, in which a buyer offers a price p to a seller, who can sell an indivisible good. For simplicity, assume that the buyer values the good at 100 and the seller values it at 0. The buyer can make exactly one offer to the seller, which the latter can accept or reject. Trade takes place only if the seller accepts the offer. If the seller is self-regarding, she accepts even a price of 1 because 1 is better than nothing. Thus, a self-regarding buyer will offer p=1 so that the seller earns almost nothing from the trade. Strong reciprocators reject such unfair offers, however, preferring no trade to trading at an unfair price. In fact, a large share of experimental subjects reject low offers in this game, across a wide variety of different cultures, even when facing high monetary stakes. This fact induces many self-regarding buyers to make relatively fair offers that strong reciprocators will accept. Often the average offers are around p=40, and between 50% and 70% of the buyers propose offers between p=40 and p=50. The behavior of both buyers and sellers changes dramatically, however, if we introduce just a little bit of competition on the seller's side. Assume, for example, that instead of one there are two sellers who both want to sell their good. Again the buyer can make only one offer which, if accepted by one of the sellers, leads to trade. If both sellers reject, no trade takes place; if both sellers accept, one seller is randomly chosen to sell the good at the offered price. Almost all buyers make much lower offers in this situation, and almost all sellers accept much lower offers. In fact, if one introduces five competing sellers into this game, prices and rejection rates converge to very low levels such that the trading seller earns only slightly more than 10% of the available gains from trade.
Climate Tipping Points?
A short excerpt from a talk by James Hansen at this year's AGU meeting is in the The New York Review of Books (53:1):
The Earth's climate is nearing, but has not passed, a tipping point beyond which it will be impossible to avoid climate change with far-ranging undesirable consequences. These include not only the loss of the Arctic as we know it, with all that implies for wildlife and indigenous peoples, but losses on a much vaster scale due to rising seas.
Ocean levels will increase slowly at first, as losses at the fringes of Greenland and Antarctica due to accelerating ice streams are nearly balanced by increased snowfall and ice sheet thickening in the ice sheet interiors.
But as Greenland and West Antarctic ice is softened and lubricated by meltwater, and as buttressing ice shelves disappear because of a warming ocean, the balance will tip toward the rapid disintegration of ice sheets.
The Earth's history suggests that with warming of two to three degrees, the new sea level will include not only most of the ice from Greenland and West Antarctica, but a portion of East Antarctica, raising the sea level by twenty-five meters, or eighty feet. Within a century, coastal dwellers will be faced with irregular flooding associated with storms. They will have to continually rebuild above a transient water level.
This grim scenario can be halted if the growth of greenhouse gas emissions is slowed in the first quarter of this century.

Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Wins Environmental Prize
December 21, 2005 Garry Peterson	Leave a comment
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment recently won the Zayed international environmental prize.
A BBC article writes:
UN secretary-general Kofi Annan has been given one of the most prestigious environmental awards, the Zayed Prize.
The citation noted his "personal leadership" on sustainable development.
The 1,360 scientists whose research contributed to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment were also honoured, as were activists from Trinidad and Indonesia.
The winners of the prize, which honours former UAE President Sheikh Zayed, share $1m (£564,000); previous awards have gone to Jimmy Carter and the BBC.
Among the instances given of the UN chief's leadership was his decision to set up the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, a global research project aimed at producing a definitive snapshot of the planet's environmental health.
The scientists who contributed share the second element of the Zayed prize worth $300,000, for Scientific and Technological Achievement.
The jury described it as a "landmark study" which "demonstrates that the degradation of ecosystems is progressing at an alarming and unsustainable rate".
MA Wetlands and Health Synthesis Report
The final two synthesis volumes of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment have now been released. The first is the Ecosystems & Human Well-being: Wetlands & Water Synthesis, a synthesis volume aimed specifically at the RAMSAR convention, and more generally at wetland issues. The second is the Ecosystems and Human Well-being: Health Synthesis produced in cooperation with the world health organization. The technical volumes should be released sometime early in 2006.

The Greening of Sahel: Passive recovery or active adaptation?
November 14, 2005 Line Gordon	3 Comments
The drought years in the Sahel in the early 1970's that resulted in a large-scale famine gave rise to scientific and policy discussions about land degradation and desertification. A popular belief was that the limited resource base in the Sahel, with vulnerable soils and highly variable and scarce rainfall could not sustain the growing population. The droughts was seen as a stress to a system which was already struggling with a rapidly decreasing resource base (e.g. deforestation of woodlands for agricultural expansion, shortening of fallow times, and soil nutrient depletion) and bad land management practices leading to increased poverty and out-migration.
New analysis of satellite data, by among others Olsson et al., illustrating a greening trend in the Sahel since 1983 thus comes as a surprise for many people. It has also triggered a scientific discussion of whether this greening is merely a recovery of vegetation due to increasing rainfall, or if this trend at least partially can be explained by widespread changes in land management by farmers in the region. Hutchins et al., in the introduction to a recent special issue of Journal of Arid Environments, suggests that there is increasing evidence that farmers have adapted to the changes during the droughts and made a transition from degrading land use trajectories to more sustainable and productive production systems, suggesting that the recovery in many places actually is an active adaptation by the farmers in the region.

Robustness of the Internet
November 9, 2005 Marco Janssen	Leave a comment
John Doyle and his colleagues published a very interesting paper on the structure of the internet and its implications for robustness. It is a popular belief that the structure of the Internet follow a scale free distribution of the number of connections, which then results in being sensitive to target attacks at the hubs. Doyle et al. dig deeper in to the real structure of the internet and falsify this myth. Indeed the number of connections follow a scale free distribution, but there are various ways to derive such a distribution. Doyle et al. find that the components of the internet with the most connections are not the crucial hubs of the internet.
Doyle et al. define an alternative model to generate networks structures of the internet (an alternative to the preferential attachment models). This alternative model is based on the highly optimized tollerance (HOT) concept and includes specific technological (bandwidth) and economic (costs) constraints. The resulting model generates statistics more in line with the real internet, and an important finding is that this structure is robust to targeted attacks to highly connected nodes.

Contract bridge enhances the immune system, according to a preliminary study by researchers at UC Berkeley
By Robert Sanders, Media Relations
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL 8 A.M. CST WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8, TO COINCIDE WITH POSTER SESSION AT ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR NEUROSCIENCE
New Orleans -In a presentation at this week's meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, University of California, Berkeley, biologist Marian Cleeves Diamond will describe an experiment showing that contract bridge players have increased numbers of immune cells after a game of bridge.
Based on her previous work, and that of others, Diamond interprets the findings as strong evidence that an area of the brain involved in playing bridge stimulates the immune system, in particular the thymus gland that produces white blood cells called T cells, or T lymphocytes.
If her study is borne out, this would be the first time a specific area of the cortex - in this case, part of the frontal lobe of the brain - has been linked with the immune system.
"People are aware that voluntary activities like positive thinking and prayer work to keep us healthy, but no one has had a mechanism," said Diamond, a professor of integrative biology in the College of Letters & Science at UC Berkeley. "These data, though preliminary, show that brain activity affects the immune system, and support the possibility of us learning to voluntarily control the level of white blood cells to help combat disease and other illnesses."
A poster describing the study will be displayed Wednesday, Nov. 8, during the Nov. 4-9 meeting in New Orleans of the Society for Neuroscience.
The experiment is the culmination of more than 15 years of work on rat and mouse brains by Diamond and her colleagues in search of a cortical area connected to the immune system. It's also a poignant tribute to her sister, who died when Diamond was 19 of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus.
"Someday, I thought, I will find something that correlates with what killed her," said Diamond, 73. "But I'm a neuroscientist, not an immunologist, so I had to touch the immune system through the brain."
Diamond chose to study bridge players from an Orinda, Calif., women's bridge club because bridge is a game likely to stimulate an area of the brain - the dorsolateral cortex - that she suspected influences the immune system. She selected women as subjects because most of her laboratory experiments have involved immune compromised female mice.
Diamond and graduate student Jean Weidner divided the 12 women, all in their 70s and 80s, into three groups, and had each group play a one-and-a-half hour bridge set. Weidner, a former phlebotomist, drew blood samples before and after the sets, and delivered them to immunology research associates Peter Schow and Stan Grell to measure the numbers of immune cells.
Only the levels of CD-4 positive T cells changed in the 12 subjects. In two of the groups, levels increased significantly. In the third group, T cell levels increased only slightly, not enough to be statistically significant.
T cells are white blood cells produced by the thymus gland and sent out to patrol the body in search of viruses and other invaders. T cells that sport a surface marker called CD-4 are "helper" cells that regulate the activity of antibody-producing B cells and of other T cells.
In 1985, Diamond and her students first focused on the dorsolateral cortex - a brain area behind the forehead and a little to the side - after comparing the brains of normal mice with immune deficient mice, called nude mice. The only brain difference they could measure was in the dorsolateral cortex, which was thinner in nude mice on both the right and left sides of the brain. The cortex, the outer layer of the brain, deals with higher order functions; the dorsolateral cortex is involved with such things as working memory, planning ahead and initiative.
Because nude mice have deficiencies in their thymus gland, in the early 1990s Diamond and then doctoral student Gary Gaufo, who has since obtained his PhD, transplanted normal mouse thymus glands into immune compromised mice. Surprisingly, all of the mice developed normal levels of T cells and also showed thickening of the dorsolateral cortex.
Given the apparent connection between the thymus gland - the source of T cells - and the dorsolateral cortex, she looked around for a way to test the connection in humans. She discovered a 1990 paper by a team of researchers from the National Institute of Mental Health reporting that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is stimulated by a card sorting task used for psychiatric analysis. The authors had used SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) to determine the parts of the brain that were active during the task, comparing schizophrenics with normal subjects.
While that task, the so-called Wisconsin Card Sorting Task, is suitable for psychiatric tests, she decided that contract bridge would be a perfect substitute to use with normal subjects.
"Contract bridge was ideal for what we were after," she said. "It is the closest activity to a challenging card sorting task that also contains multiple factors that should stimulate the dorsolateral cortex. Bridge players plan ahead, they use working memory, they deal with sequencing, initiation and numerous other higher order functions with which the dorsolateral cortex is involved."
Luckily, her old college roommate, Marian Everett, was a member of a golfing and bridge club in Orinda, so Diamond approached her about finding a group of 12 players.
"They were so willing to be part of the experiment," Diamond said, that she had no problem getting enough volunteers.
In the future, as a possible follow-up study, Diamond suggests using a functional nuclear magnetic resonance machine to see if the dorsolateral cortex actually does show greater activity during bridge playing than during rest.
Because the brain's cortex is under voluntary control, she hopes her findings lead to ways to educate the brain to improve health.
"If we could find out how to regulate our immune system voluntarily through the brain's cortex, I would feel extremely happy," Diamond said.

Dom Mateus de Abreu Pereira  (Campanário, 8 de agosto de 1742 — São Paulo, 5 de maio de 1824) foi um sacerdote católico português e quinto bispo de São Paulo. Foi conde romano.

Era filho de António de Abreu e de Vicência Pereira, naturais da paróquia do Campanário, na altura freguesia do concelho do Funchal, ilha da Madeira.

Presbiterado
Dotado de inteligência privilegiada, possuía uma cultura invejável. Estudou em Paris e Coimbra, tendo se formado em Direito Canónico. Foi ordenado sacerdote em 1761, aos vinte anos de idade. Foi clérigo secular do hábito de São Pedro, tendo exercido o ministério sacerdotal nas freguesias de Ventosa do Bairro e Almedina, na Diocese de Coimbra.

Episcopado
No dia 2 de agosto de 1794 foi indicado bispo de São Paulo por Dom João, regente de Portugal. A 1 de junho de 1795, aos 52 anos, foi confirmado, por breve do Papa Pio VI.

Foi ordenado bispo, na igreja de São Francisco de Paula, em Lisboa, no dia 13 de setembro de 1795, pelas mãos de Dom Luís de Brito Homem, então bispo de Angola, depois bispo do Maranhão; sendo consagrantes Dom Alexandre da Silva Pedrosa Guimarães, Bispo de Macau, China, e Dom José Joaquim da Cunha Azeredo Coutinho, bispo de Olinda.

Estando em Portugal, tomou posse como bispo da Diocese de São Paulo, por procuração, a 19 de março de 1796, através do Arcipreste do Cabido, o Protonotário Apostólico Monsenhor Doutor Paulo de Sousa Rocha, que governou o bispado até a sua chegada.

O novo bispo chegou a Santos a 2 de maio de 1797, junto com seu sobrinho o arcediago Cônego Manuel Joaquim Gonçalves de Andrade e o bacharel Francisco Vieira Goulart. Aí permaneceu por curto período, a fim de descansar e, depois seguiu para sua sede.

Dom Mateus exerceu foi bispo de São Paulo até 5 de maio de 1824, quando veio a falecer, aos oitenta e um anos.

Brasão
Descrição: Escudo eclesiástico, partido: o 1º de goles com uma cruz de argente, florenciada e vazia – Armas dos Pereiras.; o 2º de goles com cinco asas de jalde postas em sautor – Armas dos Abreus. O escudo está assente em tarja branca. O conjunto pousado sobre uma cruz trevolada de ouro, com um coronel de conde, entre uma mitra de prata adornada de ouro, à dextra, e de um báculo do mesmo, a senestra, para onde se acha voltado. O todo encimado pelo chapéu eclesiástico com seus cordões em cada flanco, terminados por seis borlas cada um, tudo de verde.

Interpretação: O escudo oval obedece as regras heráldicas para os eclesiásticos. Os campos representam as armas familiares do bispo, nascido da nobreza lusitana. Os dois campos, pela sua cor goles (vermelho) simbolizam o fogo da caridade inflamada no coração do bispo, bem como valor e socorro aos necessitados. No 1º, o metal argente (prata) simboliza a inocência, a castidade, a pureza e a eloqüência, virtudes essenciais num sacerdote. No 2º, o metal jalde (ouro) simboliza: nobreza, autoridade, premência, generosidade, ardor e descortínio.

Atividade e contribuições
Dom Mateus de Abreu Pereira manteve muito boas relações com as autoridades civis, principalmente com o governador Bernardo José de Lorena, de quem era íntimo amigo. Mas teve péssimo relacionamento com o governador seguinte Antônio de Melo Castro e Mendonça, cognominado "Pilatos", que constantemente buscava se intrometer no governo eclesiástico. Enfrentou a disputa com o poder civil pelas taxas matrimoniais e procurou melhorar as côngruas devidas aos clérigos.

Quanto à formação do clero, Dom Mateus, homem erudito, incentivou os estudos humanistas e iluministas, já propagados por seu antecessor. Em 1809 criou as cadeiras de Teologia Dogmática e Teologia Moral. Dedicou ele uma Carta Pastoral na qual detalhava as exigências para a formação e ordenação do clero. Mas, a necessidade de aumentar o número de padres para atender as almas, obrigou-o a aceitar certas limitações. Procurou estabelecer regras para disciplinar o comportamento do clero, tendo conseguido muitos bons resultados, sendo que no seu governo destacou-se o Santo Frei Antônio de Santana Galvão, da Ordem Franciscana.

Homem de vida apostólica, Dom Mateus empreendeu penosas viagens, por estradas em péssimas condições, para realizar suas Visitas Pastorais a quase todas as paróquias de sua extensa diocese. Instalou o seu Palácio Episcopal na Chácara da Glória, na rua do Carmo, onde tinha sua magnífica biblioteca, que por sua morte foi doada à Faculdade de Direito de São Paulo. Em 15 de setembro de 1796, criou duas paróquias, dividindo São Paulo em três territórios: Curato da Sé e Freguesias do Ó e de Nossa Senhora da Penha de França.

Em 21 de abril de 1809, criou a Paróquia de São Bom Jesus de Matosinhos do Brás. Confirmou o padre José Bento Leite Ferreira de Mello como primeiro cônego honorário do seu cabido, que havia sido nomeado por carta do régia de 8 de março de 1820. Dom Mateus, por quatro vezes exerceu o cargo de governador da Capitania de São Paulo, acumulando as funções de líder civil e religioso. A primeira vez, em 1808, juntamente com Miguel Antônio de Azevedo Veiga e Joaquim Manuel do Canto.

A segunda, de 1813 a 1814, juntamente dom Dom Nuno Eugênio Lócio e Miguel José de Oliveira Pinto. A terceira, de 1816 a 1819, com os mesmos componentes da segunda junta. A quarta, de 1822 a 1823, juntamente com José Correia Pacheco e Silva e o Marechal Cândido Xavier de Almeida e Sousa. Dom Mateus que muito havia colaborado para a independência do Brasil, nesta última participação na junta governativa, defendeu a paz e o novo governo imperial, pelo que foi condecorado por Dom Pedro I com a Imperial Ordem do Cruzeiro.
