Psychoanalytic Perspectives On Women And Their Experience Of Desire Ambition And Leadership
Author: Stephanie Brody
Category : Psychology
Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Women and Their Experience of Desire, Ambition and Leadership considers how these factors can be understood, nurtured, or thwarted and the subsequent impact on women's identity, authority and satisfaction. Psychoanalysis has long struggled with its ideas about women, about who they are, how to work with them, and how to respect and encourage what women want. This book argues that psychoanalytic theory and practice must evolve to maintain its relevance in a volatile landscape. Each section of the book begins with a chapter that reviews contemporary ideas regarding women, as well as psychoanalytic history, gender bias, and societal norms and deficits. Three composite clinical stories allow our distinguished contributors to discuss the contexts within which individual experience can be affected, and the role that clinical work may have to mobilize and advance passion and vitality. In their discussions, the interplay of clinical psychoanalysis, sociopolitical context, and understanding of gender, combine to offer a unique perspective, built on decades of scholarship, personal experience, and clinical expertise. Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Women and Their Experience of Desire, Ambition and Leadership will serve as a reference for all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as gender studies scholars interested in the progress of psychoanalytic theory regarding women in the 21st century. Contributors to this book include: Rosemary Balsam, Brenda Bauer, Andrea Celenza, Diane Elise, Adrienne Harris, Dorothy Holmes, Nancy Kulish, Vivian Pendar, Dionne Powell, and Arlene Richards.

Elusive Origins
Author: Paul B. Miller
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
Although the questions of modernity and postmodernity are debated as frequently in the Caribbean as in other cultural zones, the Enlightenment—generally considered the origin of European modernity—is rarely discussed as such in the Caribbean context. Paul B. Miller constellates modern Caribbean writers of varying national and linguistic traditions whose common thread is their representation of the Enlightenment and the Age of Revolution in the Caribbean. In a comparative reading of such writers as Alejo Carpentier (Cuba), C. L. R. James (Trinidad), Marie Chauvet (Haiti), Maryse Condé (Guadeloupe), Reinaldo Arenas (Cuba), and Edgardo Rodríguez Juliá (Puerto Rico), Miller shows how these authors deploy their historical imagination in order to assess and reevaluate the elusive and often conflicted origins of their own modernity. Miller documents the conceptual and ideological shift from an earlier generation of writers to a more recent one whose narrative strategies bear a strong resemblance to postmodern cultural practices, including the use of parody in targeting their discursive predecessors, the questioning of Enlightenment assumptions, and a suspicion regarding the dialectical unfolding of history as their precursors understood it. By positing the Cuban Revolution as a dividing line between the earlier generation and their postmodern successors, Miller confers a Caribbean specificity upon the commonplace notion of postmodernity. The dual advantage of Elusive Origins's thematic specificity coupled with its inclusiveness allows a reflection on canonical writers in conjunction with lesser-known figures. Furthermore, the inclusion of Francophone and Anglophone writers in addition to those from the Hispanic Caribbean opens up the volume geographically, linguistically, and nationally, expanding its contribution to a nonessentialist understanding of the Caribbean in a Latin American, Atlantic, and global context.

Therapeutic Nursing
Author: Dawn Freshwater
Publisher: SAGE
'I found the book to be fascinating and so thought provoking that it made me consider more carefully the text and prose to really understand what the author said. It is skilfully written, very readable and has implications for a wide range of people such as the undergraduate, practitioner, lecturer and researcher' Accident and Emergency Nursing Gaining self-awareness is a vital aspect of professional development for all who work in the caring professions. In nursing especially, the ability to evaluate oneself affects all areas of practice, including direct patient care, working relationships with colleagues and maintaining one's own well-being in the often pressured environment of health care. This is an innovative text which explores the ways in which self-awareness can be used as a practical tool for continuing professional development and practice improvement. Divided into three parts, the book examines the role of the nurse as therapeutic practitioner, reflective learner and reflexive researcher. For all those wishing to develop their skills as autonomous, reflective, accountable practitioners, this book will be an inspiring read. It will be of immense use to those who teach and supervise nurses at all levels.
American Tantalus
Author: Andrew Warnes
American Tantalus argues that modern US fictions often grow preoccupied by tantalisation. This keyword might seem commonplace; thesauruses, certainly, often lump it in with tease and torment in their general inventories of desire. Such lists, however, mislead. Just as most US dictionaries have in fact long recognised tantalise's origins in The Odyssey, so they have defined it as the unique desire we feel for objects that (like the fruit and water once cruelly placed before Tantalus) lie within our reach yet withdraw from our attempts to touch them. On these terms, American Tantalus shows, tantalise not only describes a particular kind of thwarted desire, but also one that dominates modern US fiction to a remarkable extent. For this term specifically evokes the yearning to touch alienated or virginal objects that we find examined by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Toni Cade Bambara, Richard Wright and Toni Morrison; and it also indicates the insatiable pursuit of the horizon so important to Willa Cather and Edith Wharton among others. This eclectic canon indeed "prefers" the dictionary to the thesaurus: unreachable destinations and untouched commodities here indeed tantalise, inviting gestures of inquiry from which they then recoil. This focus, while lodging cycles of tantalisation at the very heart of American myth, holds profound implications for our understanding of modernity, and, in particular, of the cultural genesis of the commodity as a form.
Author: Dana Renga
Category : Performing Arts
Unfinished Business is the first book to examine Italian mafia cinema of the past decade. It provides insightful analyses of popular films that sensationalize violence, scapegoat women, or repress the homosexuality of male protagonists. Dana Renga examines these works through the lens of gender and trauma theory to show how the films engage with the process of mourning and healing mafia-related trauma in Italy. Unfinished Business argues that trauma that has yet to be worked through on the national level is displaced onto the characters in the films under consideration. In a mafia context, female characters are sacrificed and non-normative sexual identities are suppressed in order to solidify traditional modes of viewer identification and to assure narrative closure, all so that the image of the nation is left unblemished.
The Elusive Embrace
Author: Daniel Mendelsohn
Hailed for its searing emotional insights, and for the astonishing originality with which it weaves together personal history, cultural essay, and readings of classical texts by Sophocles, Ovid, Euripides, and Sappho, The Elusive Embrace is a profound exploration of the mysteries of identity. It is also a meditation in which the author uses his own divided life to investigate the "rich conflictedness of things," the double lives all of us lead. Daniel Mendelsohn recalls the deceptively quiet suburb where he grew up, torn between his mathematician father's pursuit of scientific truth and the exquisite lies spun by his Orthodox Jewish grandfather; the streets of manhattan's newest "gay ghetto," where "desire for love" competes with "love of desire;" and the quiet moonlit house where a close friend's small son teaches him the meaning of fatherhood. And, finally, in a neglected Jewish cemetery, the author uncovers a family secret that reveals the universal need for storytelling, for inventing myths of the self. The book that Hilton Als calls "equal to Whitman's 'Song of Myself,'" The Elusive Embrace marks a dazzling literary debut. From the Trade Paperback edition.

can you please tell me the name of the company that produces those Star Trek figures that Christopher was assembling last night; I did write it down but surprise surprise I can't read my own writing (or anything else for that matter).
also tell Chris to look on our forum under figures and he will be able to connect to a number of small-scale painting demo.s that might be useful for some of his projects.
I had it down as Modiphobus - God is there some weird s**t on there! well you live and learn - I'm definitely going back to it.
I see that Modiphius are producing a Conan the Barbarian range - no figures as yet. They will be at the SELWG show so I' will quiz them and check out the new Star Trek figures.
they say possibly next year if some game or other has gone out of favour. Question is will the figures e bases on the Schwarzenegger films or the paintings of Frank Frazetta and others?

17 Ancient Protection Symbols Against Evil
Undoubtedly, humans act in strange sometimes foolish ways — and the planet is filled with methods that challenge every one of us.
Protection is a natural survival instinct innate in all humans and animals alike. One could say it's a tale as old as time.
Whether you're researching the ancient Greeks, Celts, Pagans, Wiccans, or Native American tribes, you'll find rituals and symbols made for protection.
To get through the unknown, treacherous times in life, our need for survival burns brightly. Our ancestors were no different.
Over the years, the myriad of protection symbols has been compiled and used by many religions, tribes, and belief systems.
If you're actively seeking one, it can feel daunting to pick the right one.
Exploring all the types is near-on impossible if you don't understand the origins or their true meaning.
In this article, we are going to dive into this labyrinth so you can get a feel for the correct ancient protection symbols for you.
List Of 17 Ancient Protection Symbols Against Evil:
#1 Triquetra
The triquetra is a three-pointed symbol
Triquetra, also known as the Trinity Knot or Celtic Triangle, is a tri-cornered shape made of 3 interconnected or overlapping arcs with pointed outer sections that resemble a three-cornered knot.
In Latin, triquetra means "three-cornered."
The triquetra is considered to represent the triplicities of the body, mind, and soul.
#2 Crescent Moon
Crescent Moon facts
The Crescent Moon is a symbol of power, which is seen in religious symbols and even the flags of some nations.
The word "crescent" comes from the Latin term "ceres," meaning to "bring forth, create" and "crescere," the Latin term for "grow, thrive."
It was the symbol of two great goddesses – Isis and her daughter-in-law Hathor, the cow goddess.
#3 Om
Om (or Aum) symbol meaning
Om symbolizes the most profound concepts of universal creation, including the 3 stages of existence (birth, life, and death).
According to Hinduism, this symbol is the first sound of creation, and therefore very sacred to the whole world as we know it.
The Om sound is an incantation to pay homage to the powers which allow the very existence of the universe we are in.
#4 The Eye of Horus
The Eye of Horus
Known also as the Wadjet, the Eye of Horus is believed to provide health, protection, and rejuvenation.
It is said that Egyptian sailors painted the symbol on the bows of their boats before setting sail on long and perilous voyages.
Many people wear the symbol as an amulet to protect themselves from envious and ill-wishing people.
#5 Triple Spiral
Triple Spiral
Also known as the Triskele, Triple Spiral is a complex ancient Celtic symbol. It is believed to represent a tale of forward motion to reach understanding.
It is one of the most common elements of Celtic art; the Triskele is found in a variety of styles in both modern and ancient Celtic art.
In medieval times, the symbol appeared on Celtic Christian crosses and illuminated manuscripts, representing the Trinity.
#6 Hexagram
Hexagram
The hexagram is associated with the Biblical Solomon, best known as the Star of David in the Jewish religion. In Christianity, it is also called the star of creation.
In addition, six-pointed stars have been found in cosmological diagrams in Jainism, Buddhism, and Hinduism.
The hexagram is supposed to be an ancient charming symbol consisting of a triangle meaning 'Fire' and another triangle meaning 'Water.' The hexagram also represents the merging of the female and the male.
#7 Crossed Spears
Crossed Spears
It was used as a symbol of protection. From ancient times, the symbol of the crossed spears has appeared in many cultures.
It blocks the actions of an enemy and puts up a barricade.
Also, it is one of the 8 witches' runes where it stood for disagreements.
#8 Triple Moon
Triple Moon
The triple moon is a symbol that is associated with feminine mystery, energy, and psychic abilities.
The symbol has been adopted by most Wiccans, Pagans, and Neopagans as a sacred symbol.
It shows different portions of the lunar cycle, with the moon in 3 phases – waxing, full, and waning.
#9 Pentacle
The Pentacle has been one of the most persistent and powerful symbols in our history.
It is the symbol of harmony, unity, love, and community.
The pentacle is often used as a magical plate upon which objects are placed to be magically charged or presented as ritual offerings and objects.
#10 Solar Cross
Solar Cross
This symbol is actually a unification of two powerful symbols – a cross, representing crossed fire-sticks, within a circle, representing the Sun.
Christians use the solar cross as a symbol of power as opposed to earth, which is a link back to its original use.
Astrologists use the solar cross to represent the Earth. Also, alchemists used it as a symbol for copper alloys, that is associated with the Earth.
#11 Phoenix
The Phoenix is about overcoming darkness and rising to the challenge to become powerful.
The Phoenix is an important Christian symbol and represents the death of Christ and his resurrection from the dead.
In ancient Greek mythology, the Phoenix was associated with the sun god. In ancient Egypt, the Phoenix was a symbol of the sun rising and setting.
#12 The Double-Headed Eagle
The earliest depiction of this symbol can be found on ancient monuments in the ancient Kingdom of the Hittites.
The two heads were meant as a symbol of the spiritual and physical power of the Byzantine Emperor.
#13 Horseshoe
The horseshoe is one of the most well-known good luck symbols of the Western world.
Some believe that a horseshoe with the two ends pointing up collects good luck and keeps it from falling out. Witches were believed to fear horses, so hanging a horseshoe warded them off.
#14 Ankh
The ankh is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol that was most often used in writing and in art to describe the word for "life." It also represented insight and wisdom on the highest level.
#15 Italian Horn
Italian Horn
The Italian horn, also known as cornetto, cornicello, or corno, is an amulet that is worn as a protective tool against bad omens and evil.
Some people believe the horn shape is based on the African eland's horn, as the twisted shape is similar to this animal's horns.
#16 Bindrune
A Bindrune is created by combining 2 or more ancient Viking Runes into a single symbol.
A shielding bindrune is used to protect the individual from the energy which flows from others.
#17 Hamsa
The Hamsa is a talisman from the ancient Middle East. The original Hamsa amulet was shaped like a hand with 3 fingers in the middle and the thumb and small finger in a curved shape on either side of the hand.
The symbol offers protection from harm caused by the evil eye. It is also thought that the symbol brings its owner luck, happiness, good fortune, and health.
In Islam, the symbol is called the Hand of Fatima, in honor of one of Prophet Mohammed's daughters. In Levantine Christianity, the Hamsa is known as the hand of Mother Mary, after Jesus' mother. Jews might have used the symbol to invoke the hand of God.
The symbol hand is often decorated with fish drawings as fish are traditionally a symbol of good luck.

NEW YORK, September 13, 2018 – A recent study published in the International Journal of Hospitality Management found that wine drinkers in a blind taste test rated the same wine 10 – 13 points higher for appearance, taste, aroma, and overall quality, when they were led to believe by visual cues that the wine was closed with a natural cork as opposed to a screw cap or a synthetic cork. The 310 participants did not know they were actually tasting the exact same wine. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between wine bottle closure type and consumer perceptions of intrinsic wine attributes.
"This research project proved statistically true as participants rated wines that they were told came from bottles with natural cork as superior when in reality both wines used in the experiment were dispensed from wine kegs," says Dr. Dennis Reynolds, Dean of the University of Houston Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management and author of the study.
Participants were given a written survey which asked questions related to experience with wine, consumption habits and wine preferences. The tasting included two wines that were disguised as four wines. The wines used in the study were Bordeaux blends.
The survey results mirrored the results of a blind taste test conducted in 2017 by Oxford University Professor of Experimental Psychology Dr. Charles Spence, in which participants rated the same wine after hearing the sound of a bottle being opened – either the twist of a screw cap or the pop of a cork. In that study, the perception that the wine was closed with a cork led participants to rate the wine 8 percent to 15 percent higher. While the Oxford study was funded by the Portuguese Cork Association, the current study was independent of any connection to the cork industry.
This 2018 study was co-authored by Dennis Reynolds of the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management, University of Houston, USA, Imran Rahman and Shaniel Bernard of the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics, and Hospitality Management at Auburn University, USA, and Amy Holbrook of The Boeing Company, USA.

The partition of the Subcontinent into India, Pakistan and Bangladesh was a horrible move that actually led to even worse sectarian tensions as well as the inequity between the countries that exist now.
So no Ahmadi mosques then?
Be careful who you get into bed with.
this is ridiculous im studying in punjab i know how muslims are treated here by the sikhs u cant wear a cap in the market people will start giving u weried looks nd when people ask ur name they say r u muslim, i hv also been discriminated by sikh teacher during examination. sikhs hate muslims the most.
I was in the business of trolling for a long time, since Xanga was popular…anyone with such a name, posting links from those kinds of websites are obvious (therefore badly made) trolls.
yeah i don't know why we keep importing people from tribes who hate each other? we have enough violence already.
what do you think? sikhs hate muslims the most?
I feel relief to have been able to save a pretty ancient Hindu Temple in my homeland from being destructed by my own kind. I also have a church merely 15-30 minutes walking distance from my home. Their bell is quite loud. But unless I hear their midnight bell, I can't go to sleep. If someone rings that bell right over my ears, my sleep won't be disturbed.
Very inspiring. Have been to India and seen things like this happen many times.
Sikhs are not Muslims and they have nothing to do with Islam at all neither their temples are known as Mosques, Sikhs shelter themselves under the same umbrella of Islam, I guess seeking for refuge in United States, It is very wrong and miscalculated concept of American People to think there is a link between Sikhs and Muslims, there is a difference in almost everything infact Sikhism came in form 500 to 600 years ago while Islam has 14 Centuries of history.
No offense but DO NOT MIX UP Sikhs with Islam nether they follow same path nor they practice the same, yes Christianity has resemblance with Islam many ways – For Christians Jesus is Son Of God and for Muslims – Prophet Son of Marry well defined as ( The Soul of Allah ) this thin line difference kept entire world in a darkness since there is too much politics involved these days in Religions.
read 1947 Muslims Genocide by Sikhs , Breed wont change with time this is just to show deep inside hatred is boiling , Sikhs should Talibans (if they really ) exists they hasnt blown their Guru's birth place in Pakistan which i think if ( taliban ) proclaim themselves as Jihadist which they aren't, Else instead of blowing Mosques, killing Muslims they would have Screwed Sikhs.
Tell you Honestly , There is NO – Al Qaeeda since none of you even been closer to Afghanistan Talibans are those who were trained by CIA in 80s era against Soviets and later left over to die they made their own Army against CIA/ USA of which PAKISTANI people ( MY Country ) has suffered the most approx 45,000 has lost their lives in this senseless War, Wondering If America can Nuke Japan 60 years back why can't they use when Real Enemies of Humanity are in Afghanistan.
The person signing Anon is not the same as anon.
It's always nice to hear good news. Makes a change from the bad news we always hear. No religion condones violence and murder. Too often people forget the basic principles of their own religions which promotes kindness and love amnogst mankind.

On March 31st the American label The Laser's Edge will release the seventh studio album "Future Hopes" of the Norwegian band White Willow. The fans had to wait six years for the successor of "Terminal Twilight". But in the meantime the band came with remasters of the albums "Ignis Fatuus", "Ex Tenebris", "Storm Season" and "Sacrament". And leader Jacob Holm-Lupo surprised us with the Project The Opium Cartel. The singer of that project, Venke Knutson is now the new White Willow singer. The rest of the line-up is the same as on the "Terminal Twilight" album. "Future Hopes" is housed in a beautiful digipak with artwork of legend Roger Dean. The mix was done by Christian Engfelt and another legend Bob Katz took care of the mastering of this album. "Future Hopes" is a kind of sequel to the other two conceptual albums, "Terminal Twilight" and "Storm Season". Jacob Holm-Lupo explains the science fiction concept with the words "love among the ruins".
In the accompanying information sheet the band is presented as an art-rock band which means that the band makes pop songs that are stretched to pointless lengths and crammed with weird sounding instruments. And the quote that a White Willow album must contain the constants: chiming guitar chords, Mellotrons and songs about sad people. I don't know if Art rock is the right label for the band. But what I am sure of is that the band is making highly original music. The debut album "Ignus Fatuus" had some folk influences and I remember that at that time the album made quite an impression in the progressive rock world. Later on the symphonic rock was more influenced by heavier sounds. But for me White Willow was always one of those great progressive rock bands from the Northern parts of Europe who's music had always a melancholic ingredient. So maybe it is true, songs about sad people. Or has it something to do with the amount of light in those Northern parts of Europe. But in any case I just love that side of the music, and yes I love those Mellotrons.
The album opens with mysterious synths (CS80V) in opener "Future Hopes". The melancholic sounds and sad lyrics are making a nice contrast with the fairy tale like voice of singer Venke Knutson. She is shinning in the following track "Silver & Gold". The song has a more lighter atmosphere with beautiful chiming guitar chords.
After this the atmosphere of the album becomes more darker in the track "In Dim Days". An eleven minutes long progressive rock song with a diversity of keyboards and nice drum and guitar parts. The lead guitar part is played by guest Hedvig Mollestad. You can hear a lot of keyboards and synths in this piece, but this counts for the whole album. It is great to hear the sounds of Instruments like the Yamaha CS80, Mellotron, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer and various synths. And if this is not enough you can also hear the flute and an EWI wind controller. Menacing keyboard sounds in contrast with the angelic voice of Venke Knutson. The short and dark "Where There Was Sea There Is Abyss" is made up of guitar, Mellotron and reverberated noise and seamlessly flows into the big epic and highlight of the album "A Scarred View". The first synth part with the CS80 reminds me of the work of U.K. Keyboardist Eddie Jobson. This track is bliss for keyboard lovers. Besides the already mentioned CS80 and the Mellotron you can hear the sounds of the mini- Moog, Arp pro-soloist, Arp solina and Prophet 5. You can hear beautiful melodies in this track. My highlight is the part in which the band gives an ode to the "Wind & Wuthering" album of Genesis. "A Scarred View" is the highlight of the album for me. Only for this intriguing composition you have to buy this album.
The album comes to an end with two bonus tracks. The first one is called "Animal Magnetism" and I think this must be a Scorpions cover. Guest David Krakauer is playing a freaky clarinet solo in this track. In the second bonus track keyboardist Lars Fredrik Froislie plays his own composition "Damnation Valley". The piano is the main instrument but he also uses several synths and the Mellotron. A worthy ending of a remarkable album. The main role of this album is played by the many keyboards and synths.
The seventh studio album of White Willow can be divided into three parts. The first part with the first two short vocal based songs with a somewhat lighter atmosphere than the rest of the album. The third part are the two bonus tracks. And the second part, the heart of the album with the darker and longer tracks "In Dim Days", "A Scarred View" and the inclosed short intermezzo "Where There Was Sea There Is Abyss". This hart of the album is also the strongest part of the album with my personal highlights "A Scarred View" and "In Dim Days". "Future Hope"s is an album that only reveals it's real beauty and little details after several listening sessions. This counts especially for the epic "A Scarred View". And with singer Venke Knutson the band is presenting again a wonderful and talented singer. If you like the keyboards and synth sounds of the seventies this album is a must for you. But at the same time the music sounds new and fresh. Highly recommended by progVisions.

Filter coffee drip coffee also known as, South Indian coffee, madras coffee, drip coffee is another very commonly used coffee recipe in south India.
It is more commonly drunk in the south Indian states Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh. The northern states of India drink more tea. The southern states are also coffee producers.
In the southern states, as you walk through the streets early morning, you will get the lovely inviting aroma of the freshly brewed coffee.
The frothy coffee is served in stainless steel glasses. It is customary to offer at least a glass of coffee to all visitors.
Put the coffee powder in the top filter part. Put the stick filter on the coffee powder.
When the water gets hot, pour it carefully on the stick.
Cover the filter. It will take about 8-10 minutes for all the water to pass through coffee powder.
Take some(about 3/4th) coffee decoction in a cup.
Thanks Paul joseph.. for providing the original recipe specs for the 'chukku kaapi' (ginger coffee) recipe I added to the list!


In 1863 Confederate forces under Lieutenant General James Longstreet, while scouring Southside Virginia for badly needed supplies, threatened the Union garrison in Suffolk. For the residents of surrounding Nansemond, Isle of Wight, and Southampton Counties, the Suffolk campaign followed an exhausting and deadly pattern. Already subjected to the demands of waves of soldiers, first Southern recruits and then Union occupation troops, the people of the region faced the severest tests the Civil War could impose upon human beings.
In The War Hits Home, Brian Steel Wills tells the story of these real people in the crucible of war. Reconstructing life for soldiers from the region on the battlefield and for civilians in the homes of southeastern Virginia, Wills provides a full depiction of what life was like for the ordinary person--black, white, soldier, citizen, Unionist, or secessionist--contending with domestic, economic, social, and military hardship in the contest of sectionalism and war. Wills employs their individual experiences to illustrate the impact of the war on a human scale, on soldiers and their relatives, North and South. We witness battlefield horror and family despair, African Americans' embrace of freedom, and the persistence of Confederate nationalism among most whites in the region.
Taken as a whole, The War Hits Home is a sweeping but extraordinarily detailed canvas of a fractured American South.
The definitive study of the conflict in southeast Virginia, and one of the finest Confederate regional studies to have reached print.
Brian Steel Wills is Department Chair and Professor of History and Philosophy at the University of Virginia's College at Wise and the author of The Confederacy's Greatest Cavalryman: Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Identifying Independent and Dependent Variables
Transcript Practice
Hey guys! Welcome to this Mometrix video over Independent and Dependent Variables.
There are two primary variables in a scientific experiment: the independent and dependent variable.
What is an independent variable?
The independent variable is the variable that is controlled throughout the experiment, but it is not affected by any other variable. So, like its name suggests, it is independent from other variables. Time, for example, will always be an independent variable. Let's say you wanted to test how tall a tree would grow after eight months of treating it with a certain type of fertilizer. The height of the tree may change, and you can change the amount of fertilizer, but that will have no effect on the eight month period. You can never speed up time or slow time down. It will always be independent from anything we can do. However, you can change the amount of time you are measuring something.
What is a dependent variable?
The dependent variable is the variable being tested. The dependent variable depends on other factors. In our last example we said, "how tall will a tree grow after eight months of treating it with a certain type of fertilizer?" Well, the height of the tree is our dependent variable. It is dependent on the amount of time, the type of fertilizer, as well as other things like the region it's growing in, temperature, and so on.
It may be helpful to think of the independent variable and dependent variable in the same vein as cause and effect. If the independent variable is changed, then an effect will be observed in the dependent variable.
Both independent and dependent variables may change during the duration of the experiment. However, the experimenter is in control of changing the independent variable but not the dependent variable. The dependent variable solely changes under the influence of the independent variable.
When graphing it is sort of a consensus that you would always use the x-axis to plot the independent variable and the y-axis to plot the dependent variable. However, some people don't, and that is why it is so important to label your axes!
I hope that this video was helpful! If you enjoyed it, then be sure to give us a thumbs up, and subscribe to our channel for further videos.

Practice Questions
Question #1:
Carlos is developing a new chocolate chip recipe. While testing recipes out, he notices that when he adds less and less flour to the cookie dough, the cookies get wider and spread out on the pan. What is the dependent variable in Carlos' experiment?
Type of flour used
Amount of chocolate chips added
Amount of flour added
Size of baked cookies
Remember that the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. In this problem, we see that the width (a.k.a. the "size") of each cookie depends on how much flour Carlos puts in the dough.
*Another helpful rule to memorize is: the dependent variable is what we observe (or measure) happening in an experiment. But, as for the independent variable, it is usually what we change in an experiment. In this problem, the independent variable is the amount of flour that Carlos adds to the dough.
Hide Answer
A local gardening club has started a new compost bin, and they begin by putting a small number of worms in the starter soil. Every week, they open the bin and count how many worms are working through the compost. Using this information and the graph below, choose which measurement is the independent variable.
Time (weeks passed)
Length of worms in the compost bin
Amount of worms in the compost bin
Amount of compost generated
The correct answer is A. While we may not be making time go on or changing time itself, we see that the amount of worms grows as time goes on. Hence: the worm population depends on how much time has passed.
*Also, even if we didn't fully understand what was going on in this experiment, we can count on two "cheat cards:" time is almost always an independent variable; and we usually put the independent variable on the x-axis and the dependent variable on the y-axis when graphing experiment results.
You've been given the equation \(q=7.4p^2+9\) and the table:
(input)p 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16
(output)q 39 129 279
Using this information, we can deduce that the dependent variable is most likely _____.
\(p\)
\(7.5\)
\(q\)
\(p^2\)
The correct answer is C. If we were only given the equation \(q=7.4p^2+9\), we couldn't decide which variable depends on the other (because we could easily re-write the equation as \(p=\sqrt{\frac{q-9}{7.4}}\)). However, because we know that p is the input-value and q is the output-value, we also know that q depends on p. (What we pull out depends on what we put into the equation.) Also, since we've already been given pre-set values of p, it's safe to assume that p is the independent variable; because the value of p will not be impacted by a change in q.
Over the past few weeks, Briana has been conducting an experiment to see what type of bread grows the most mold within a given period of time. She's chosen 6 different types of bread, and as time has passed, she's measured the areas of each mold patch that's grown on the respective bread slices. The graph below shows her results:
What is the independent variable in Briana's experiment?
Amount of mold growth (inches2)
Area of bread slices (inches2)
The correct answer is B. While it may be tempting to choose Choice A, time is actually a controlled variable (the "control") in this experiment. We observed a phenomenon over a pre-set, controlled period of time. Really, we need to ask ourselves, "What is Briana changing?" (this will always be our independent variable) and "What is she measuring/observing?" Of course, as Briana has changed the type of bread, she's observed a change in the amount of mold grown on each slice; so it's clear that our independent variable is the bread type!
*Additionally, Briana has noticed that the amount of mold growth on each slice is different for each type of bread. Hence, it's safe to say that the 'amount of mold growth' depends on the 'bread type.' Meaning: the amount of mold growth is Briana's dependent variable!
**One final note: notice that the dependent variable sits on the x-axis of this graph, and the independent variable sits on the y-axis. This is different from what we usually see! So, it's important that we take the "x-axis=independent variable and y-axis=dependent variable" trick with a grain of salt. Always read the question and the graph labels carefully!
Mia is training for a marathon. As she reads through her food & fitness tracking journal, she notices that she runs more miles on the days where she eats an apple with breakfast. What is the dependent variable in this scenario?
Amount of miles Mia runs each day
What Mia eats for breakfast
Amount of miles Mia will run in the marathon
When Mia eats an apple
The correct answer is A. In this problem, the amount of miles that Mia runs in a day depends on whether or not she eats an apple with her breakfast. We can also note that the independent variable is what Mia eats for breakfast. More specifically, it is whether or not she eats an apple with her breakfast.

Ever since SUIRUI signed up for this project, 33 classrooms in 8 provinces are equipped and operational for online teaching; more than 105 volunteer teachers from around the world committed to a 6-month or longer volunteering period in their certified domain, offering more than 100 classes per week, helping more than 5000 students.
The results of this remote teaching initiative have shown to be significantly beneficial for the students. One of the participating school principals recently reported that during the latest standard school promotion test, seven students scored among top ten performers in the entire county. This has become possible thanks to the increase of qualified teacher volunteers. And because SUIRUI's cloud communication services have paved a way for easy collaboration, we are likely to see more exceptional teacher volunteers in the future, and thus a greater increase in the quality of these students' education.
Integrating technology into education has become an integral part of improved performances of students over the past decade. Technology facilitates a more dynamic classroom environment where students are more engaged and focused on meaningful learning. Many students, however, don't have access to the cutting-edge technology that is sweeping the world. SUIRUI has recognized this issue and, since 2016, has been partnering with Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation on the "China Volunteer Online Teaching" project.
The goal of the "China Volunteer Online Teaching" project is to provide cloud communication services for primary schools in remote regions in rural China. The key problem this initiative is trying to solve is that even after many years of donation programs run by non-profit organizations to build quality infrastructures for children in less developed regions, students in these areas are still not getting a comparable education due to many practical challenges. Not only do they not have sustainable access to teaching resources, but also, among other factors, the lack of qualified teachers is hindering the actual improvement in the development of rural regions' education programs.
There is no doubt that there have been many enthusiastic teachers who are willing to give these children the fair opportunity of education. The sad reality, however, is that many of them have been attracted back to big cities where they can enjoy more opportunities, a vivid lifestyle, extended education, and everything else they were used to.

Review of Richard S. Newman's "Love Canal: A Toxic History from Colonial Times to the Present"
By Elizabeth D. Blum, Troy University
Read original article and the authors' response via H-net Roundtable here.
We face challenging times for environmentalism. In just the first few weeks of the new Trump Administration, the president nominated a man who has been actively hostile to the EPA to be its head; removed climate change information from the White House website; authorized the completion of the Dakota Access pipeline and swept aside orders for an EIS on the area; overturned rulings protecting waterways from coal mining debris; and froze federal science grants. Aides have intimated that the destruction of the entire EPA itself may be forthcoming as well. States and other government agencies, emboldened by Trump's attack on science, have followed suit. The House of Representatives has put forward measures to sell off public lands (later withdrawn) and pushed for fewer protections on parks. Michigan announced plans to drill at one of its state parks.
As an environmental historian, I've been particularly concerned about all these issues, anxiously following the news, Twitter, and Facebook feeds to stay up to date, and attending protests in an effort to have my voice heard. In addition, my research has taken on new significance to me. It feels more important, as if I can contribute by increasing knowledge and understanding about environmental beliefs and attitudes. Yet, certainly, I understand that I must present my work as objectively as I can, showing environmental activism with all its subtleties and complexities. Otherwise, how can we learn how we got here? I hope this discussion of Richard Newman's book, Love Canal: A Toxic History from Colonial Times to the Present (Oxford, 2016) helps engage these important issues in a difficult time for environmentalism. As a related issue, I'm also very interested in how Newman sees his book within the established historiography. Did he intend to forge new paths – a course I see charted in its discussion of activists and gender in particular?
Published prior to the Trump electoral college victory, Newman's Love Canal clearly sees the events at Love Canal and especially the activists through rose-colored glasses. The book brought many of the issues surrounding environmental advocacy and the historian's craft into sharp relief for me. Let me say, first, that I have also written a book on Love Canal, entitled Love Canal Revisited (Kansas, 2008). As I noted in a forthcoming review in Reviews in American History, the beginnings of Newman's book and my own are quite similar. Using "path dependent" theory, Newman describes a "very long history of environmental protest along the Niagara Frontier" and notes that "generations of industrial dreamers laid down a history of land use that led almost inexorably to the establishment of toxic burial grounds [at Love Canal] in the 20th century" (9). Although I have severe problems with the belief that anything in history is inevitable, my book, eight years before Newman, walks through the 300 years prior to Love Canal and found that the area "has long been a site of environmental use (and overuse) … a place where human being exploit others [as well as a place of] … the empowerment of marginalized populations" (3).
Beyond that, my work and Newman's diverge. Where I document conflict between groups, Newman's book presents a much more unified, enlightened group of activists. Newman's activists press for environmental change imbedded with critiques of capitalism and industrialization, racial injustice, and its global implications. This view distorts the complexity of historical events within the environmental movement. Part of the problem arises from Newman's loose use of terminology. He often uses "resident" and "activist" interchangeably, even when neither is correct. Note the following quotes dealing with people at Love Canal and the meaning of their activism (italics are mine). According to Newman, after "initially seeking evacuation, area activists soon found themselves engaged in a much bigger battle over the meaning of both a toxic past and the future of American environmentalism" (4). Then, "increasingly conscious of the historical forces that shaped their struggle, Love Canal residents began asking tough questions about their environment and its place in a world nearly overrun by industrial waste" (10). Later, a "flier noted that Love Canal residents desired something called environmental 'justice'" (119). And, "Love Canal activists were soon talking openly about environmental ethics, national hazardous waste policies, and environmental stewardship… [they argued that] environmental health was very nearly an American right" (123-4).
Language is important in this case. Obviously, not all the residents of the Love Canal area morphed into activists. Some residents openly or quietly stood against the work to remove residents from Love Canal. In addition, not all activists lived in the neighborhood. Love Canal saw an influx of non-residents as activists, notably with the Ecumenical Task Force. "Activists," as well, hardly presented monolithic views or purpose of enlightened 21st century environmentalists. The Ecumenical Task Force falls closest to Newman's description of the "activists/residents": they certainly connected the hazardous waste problems with other social justice issues as well as nationwide environmental problems. Yet they bickered with the LCHA frequently over goals, language, tactics, and methods. Divisions ran rampant through the LCHA as well: prominent leader Lois Gibbs's actions caused several groups to break away in protest. And what is an "activist"? Newman often makes it sound like the entire neighborhood actively protested, when only a few dozen led and organized. Now, certainly, more came to the occasional town hall or marched in parades, but are these the "activists" Newman discusses? Did all of them come to these same enlightened conclusions? The historical record reflects that many of residents held very socially exclusionary and even racist views. Only one resident, Lois Gibbs, continued to be active in the national environmental movement after Love Canal (Luella Kenny continued to assist the local area through the health fund). Although Gibbs has had a tremendous impact on grassroots organizing, it would be inaccurate to ascribe her views and level of commitment to the neighborhood as a whole. Most of the thousands of residents worked toward their own removal, left, and went on with their lives as much as they could.

Love Canal's views of the activists generally and from a gendered perspective present issues regarding connections to the established historiography. Newman ahistorically sees these "activists" as creating "a new identity [that]… reframed the very nature of American environmentalism" (124). Prior to the late 1970s, Newman states, environmentalism focused "only on saving nature, or pristine landscapes, out there in the great non-human beyond" (11). That changed with Love Canal, "for the people in this infamous neighborhood were among the first to argue that their streets, sewers, homes, and yards comprised a threatened, and threatening, landscape" (11). Obviously, to construct this argument, Newman discards and ignores significant contributions by numerous historians detailing activism of both white and black women in urban reform beginning in the Progressive Era as well as mid-century anti-nuclear protest.
His gendered analysis of the activists, in particular, lacks a connection with previous scholarship. In one chapter, he notes that environmental activism broke with "ingrained notions of appropriate public behavior and political comportment" for neighborhood men (129). "Many Love Canal men," Newman asserts, "had to reimagine themselves as both activists and dissidents … [I]t may not have been the most comfortable identity to assume—skip work for a protest meeting?—but it was a necessary one" (129). In fact, union activity yielded familiarity with protest for white working class male residents of the neighborhood. Many of the prominent Love Canal women remembered their fathers and husbands joining union protests and pickets during their time at work to protest for safer conditions. The picket of the remedial construction site, one of the LCHA's earliest protests, grew partially out of men's familiarity with this tactic. In addition, the unions often supported the LCHA and other activists, since their goals of worker health and safety coincided. Other male activists (particularly with the Ecumenical Task Force) had deep experience with social justice issues prior to getting involved at Love Canal. They had participated in anti-war, anti-nuclear, and student protests and hardly had to "reimagine" themselves to be activists.
Similar problems arise from his discussion of the women at Love Canal. Newman notes that women at Love Canal "ironically" (133) used maternalism to promote their ideas, yet to Newman, "these maternalist conceptions of activism proved to be only a stepping stone… [later,] women embraced social movement politics with a vengeance. It is hard not to see the influence of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique percolating through Love Canal women's evolving notions of protest. (Lois Gibbs' autobiography begins allusively with a chapter entitled 'The Problem at Love Canal,' perhaps a nod to Friedan's iconic chapter … 'The Problem That Has No Name')" (133). Going along with this tenuous proto-feminist hero theme, Newman also quotes journalist David Shribman without comment or critique as saying "Love Canal women refused to give in to the stress, anxiety, and outright disappointment that often accompany activist struggles" (133).
The women active at Love Canal consciously chose, used, and manipulated maternalistic rhetoric to their advantage, but they also believed it. To call this choice of language "ironic" ignores the significant historiography of women's activism and maternalism, as well as the words and ideas of the women themselves. Rather than see themselves as feminists (although we might), many Love Canal women saw their activism as anti-feminist. They used their language to promote the role and value of a mother and wife to feminists who, in their view, denigrated these roles. New Right anti-feminism rather than Betty Friedan connected many female residents to their activism. Is Newman implying here either a "hierarchy" of rhetoric (feminism being more "advanced" than maternalism; or environmental justice over NIMBY) or that women who use and develop maternalist arguments as rhetoric in environmental struggles are less worthy of our attention?
History has dealt with the concept of imposing standards of heroism on past actors before, notably with slavery. In 2001, for example, Michael Johnson authored a dramatic reinterpretation of Denmark Vesey. Known by most historians as the leader of one of the largest slave rebellions in American history, Johnson instead presented him as simply one of many slaves possibly framed by whites to spread fear of violence. This new interpretation won over some pretty distinguished historians, forcing them to rethink how historians presented slavery. Winthrop Jordan noted that scholars should "stop requiring slaves to have behaved in ways that we now think would be heroic." Philip Morgan succinctly noted that historians want to "highlight 'freedom fighters,' as if entitlement to human dignity depended on a readiness to engage in violent struggle. The assumption is that only through a willingness to sacrifice life could slaves prove their worthiness for emancipation" (Jon Wiener, Historians In Trouble, 130-31). Environmental historians should demand the same from our scholarship.
Overall, Newman's history of Love Canal adds some important components to the story of Love Canal, including a history of Hooker Chemical prior to Love Canal. His presentation of the Love Canal crisis, however, is far less useful. Seen through rosecolored glasses and intent on proving the activists as positive heroes, the book seems to come theoretically from an earlier era of promoting consensus and minimizing conflict. His desire to transform the Love Canal story into a triumphant narrative of unified activists marching toward enlightenment about national environmental injustice cannot be supported by the evidence. It may be tempting in this age to glorify those who stand on the front lines of environmental activism, but historians should present their narratives in all their complexity or little will be learned from it.

Q: Xamarin.Forms TabbedPage active tab 1 behind selection on iOS I have created a TabbedPage:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<TabbedPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
            xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
            xmlns:prism="clr-namespace:Prism.Mvvm;assembly=Prism.Forms"
            prism:ViewModelLocator.AutowireViewModel="True"
            x:Class="MyApp.Views.MainPage"
            xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyApp.Views;assembly=MyApp"
            xmlns:resources="clr-namespace:MyApp.Common"
            Title="{resources:Translate MainPage_Title}">
    <TabbedPage.Children>
        <local:MapsPage Icon="tabicon_mapspage.png" />
        <local:ProfilePage Icon="tabicon_profilepage.png" />
        <local:StatusPage Icon="tabicon_statuspage.png" />
    </TabbedPage.Children>
</TabbedPage>

On Android the tabs works as you would expect. However, on the iOS simulator, the currently active tab is always 1 behind! If i click "status" nothing happens, but when i click anything else after that (either "maps" or "profile") THEN "status" is shown.
I have no custom renderers, do i need one for iOS to make TabbedPage behave as expected?
I have put a very minimal project up here which shows the issue: https://github.com/RandomStuffAndCode/PrismApp

A: This is only present in the remote simulator for visual studio on windows. Using the "native" simulator on mac does not exhibit this behavior. Closing this question as the bug is in tooling, not the Xamarin.Forms framework

private const string ConstCacheMemoryLimitMegabytesValue = "2000";
private const int CacheDefaultTimeOut = 720;

// Percentage of server memory to use
private const string ConstPhysicalMemoryLimitPercentage = "physicalMemoryLimitPercentage";
private const string ConstPhysicalMemoryLimitPercentageValue = "100";

// The maximum time that can occur before memory statistics are updated.
private const string ConstPollingInterval = "pollingInterval";
private const string ConstPollingIntervalValue = "02:00:00";

var config = new NameValueCollection
{
   { ConstCacheMemoryLimitMegabytes, ConstCacheMemoryLimitMegabytesValue },
   { ConstPhysicalMemoryLimitPercentage,  ConstPhysicalMemoryLimitPercentageValue },
   { ConstPollingInterval, ConstPollingIntervalValue}
};

var _cachePolicy = new CacheItemPolicy
{
    AbsoluteExpiration = ConvertIntToMinDateTimeOffSet(CacheDefaultTimeOut) // Setting this to expire 12 hours later.
};

_memoryCache = new MemoryCache("MyCustomCache", config);
var cacheItem = new CacheItem(key, item);
_memoryCache.Add(cacheItem, _cachePolicy);

private static DateTimeOffset ConvertIntToMinDateTimeOffSet(int cacheExpiryIntervalInMinute)
{
    return new DateTimeOffset(DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(cacheExpiryIntervalInMinute));
}

The time zone is UTC + 8:00 (KL, Singapore)

A: Not sure if this might be the case, but a couple of things:
var config = new NameValueCollection

Shouldn't that be:
var config = new NameValueCollection()

And shouldn't
var _cachePolicy = CacheItemPolicy

be:
var _cachePolicy = new CacheItemPolicy()

Also, I don't see where CacheDefaultTimeOut is set, but I'm assuming it's set to 720 (12 hours) somewhere?
Like I said, not sure this is the problem since I would expect your code to not compile if it was, and it sounds like you've got it running.  But sometimes it's the simple things...
