shepherds' score
'shepherds' score' can also refer to...
Across a wide area of northern England and southern Scotland, a curious linguistic feature has been regularly reported in the shape of an unusual method of counting—apparently based on twenty, reputedly used extensively by shepherds, and bearing a distinct similarity to Welsh and other Celtic languages. Individual words vary considerably from place to place, but overall the pattern is remarkably similar:(From the Lake District, N&Q 180 (1941), 459–60)
(From the Lake District, N&Q 180 (1941), 459–60)
In England, the numerals have been collected in the counties of Yorkshire, Cumberland, Westmorland, Lancashire, Northumberland, and Lincolnshire (see Barry for an extensive list of examples). Attention was drawn to these numerals by antiquarians and dialect collectors in the later 19th century, and it has been repeatedly asserted since that time (e.g. by Gay) that they represent a survival of the pre-Anglo-Saxon population of the areas in which they have been collected, and that they are important proof of the theory that pockets of Celtic peoples not only survived in certain areas but kept their own language and traditions well into the Anglo-Saxon era. Unfortunately, the shepherds' score does not support such a hypothesis, on at least two important counts. Linguists (e.g. Faull) have pointed out that a careful study of the numerals indicates an importation after the Saxon settlements. Secondly, the geographical spread of the numerals covers areas which are known to have been settled early and completely by Anglo-Saxons. It is also suspicious that the first known mention of these numerals in Britain is as late as 1745, although a reference to them in the USA, dating from 1717, argues for their earlier existence here. If survival from ancient times is discounted, and later importation surmised, it begs the question of from where, how, and when, and there is, as yet, no definitive answer. For a number of reasons, Barry thinks it unlikely that the numerals were imported to England from Scotland (indeed, he suggests it may have been the other way round), which leaves Wales as the most likely source, in post-medieval times. Drovers bringing sheep to English markets are possible carriers, as are Welsh miners brought to England by mine-owners, but this remains speculation. Barry even casts doubt on the numerals' use, as he failed to gather any firsthand information about sheep-counting. Many of his informants had been told the numbers were for counting sheep, but none had actually used them in that way, while some used the score in knitting, some as a counting-out rhyme, and others as a nursery rhyme. There is no doubt that the numerals are traditional and are prized as a genuine part of local dialect (see, for example, correspondence in The Dalesman, 1982–3) but their origin is neither as simple, nor as antique as is often supposed.
Michael Barry, Folk Life 7 (1969), 75–91;Margaret L. Faull, Local Historian 15:1 (1982), 21–3;Tim Gay, Local Historian 14:5 (1981), 282–3.

But any number of people are overlooking one of the House's main constitutional functions…the federal budget and therefore taxes. And the main group in the House that is concerned with taxes? Well the House Ways and Means Committee…so we are to think that no one on the committee or more directly…that the committee has no tax expertise on staff? LOL!
The Committee on Ways and Means is the chief tax-writing committee of the United States House of Representatives. Members of the Ways and Means Committee are not allowed to serve on any other House Committee unless they are granted a waiver from their party's congressional leadership. The Committee has jurisdiction over all taxation, tariffs, and other revenue-raising measures, as well as a number of other programs including Social Security, unemployment benefits, Medicare, the enforcement of child support laws, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and foster care and adoption programs.
The United States Constitution requires that all bills regarding taxation must originate in the U.S. House of Representatives, and House rules dictate that all bills regarding taxation must pass through Ways and Means. This system imparts upon the committee and its members a significant degree of influence over other representatives, committees, and public policy.
And as I told by a tax accountant earlier today…really? I bet Trump's taxes are nothing when compared to Senator Mitt Romney's. And they managed to 'figure' those out during his presidential campaign! LOL!
Instead of worrying about whether Congress can understand the president's taxes…they should start to worry that none of them are smart enough to understand the Constitution.

Aluzinc Steel Coil In South Africa, the standard for AZ‐coated steel sheeting is SANS 9364, approved by National Committee TC 107, Metallic and other inorganic coatings, and published by the South African Bureau of Standards. The standards for conventional galvanized steel (GI) sheeting are SANS 3575 and SANS 4998, also approved by National Committee TC 107, Metallic and other inorganic coatings, and published by the South African Bureau of Standards.
Aluzinc Steel Coil is a flat carbon steel product coated on both sides with an aluminium-zinc alloy. The coating is composed of 55% aluminium, 43.4% zinc and 1.6% silicon and applied by means of a continuous hot dip galvanising process. Aluzinc Steel Coil is available in a wide range of steel grades: steels for cold forming and deep drawing applications, and structural steels.
The excellent corrosion resistance of Aluzinc Steel Coil is a result of the properties of its two metallic constituents: the barrier effect of the aluminium present on the surface of the coating and the sacrificial protection of zinc.
The characteristic spangled silver colour of Aluzinc Steel Coil gives it a very attractive appearance. Thanks to a thin transparent layer of aluminium oxide on the top surface of the coating, this appearance is preserved over time.
Applications Aluzinc Steel Coil coated steels are used widely in both indoor and outdoor applications: Construction: roofing, cladding, structural sections, composite panels, tiles etc Domestic appliances: washing machines, tumble dryers, refrigerators, toasters, microwave ovens etc Miscellaneous: boiler casings, air ducts, electrical cabinets, lighting, computer casings etc Aluzinc Steel Coil can be supplied oiled and/or with a chemical surface treatment, or with an AFP thin organic coating (please see data sheet E80 for the specific properties of AFP). DX56D AM FCE +AZHFX +AFPis suitable for standing seam applications in roofing and cladding.
Aluzinc Steel Coil Florelis is a product with improved uniformity, with the result that there is no visible difference between the sheets. It is specially designed for facades of buildings with the highest aesthetic requirements.
Aluzinc Steel Coil is supplied passivated or oiled to temporarily limit any risk of black rust formation. During transport and storage, all necessary precautions must be taken to keep the material dry and to prevent the formation of condensation. Improved protection can be obtained by the application of an AFP coating.
The forming and joining techniques currently used for uncoated steel sheets are also suitable for Aluzinc Steel Coil The coating thickness must therefore be compatible with both the desired degree of corrosion protection and the requirements of the forming and welding processes envisaged. Forming performance is improved if Aluzinc Steel Coil is coated with an AFP thin organic coating.
Painting Aluzinc Steel Coil can be painted after degreasing and surface treatment when delivered oiled. Aluzinc Steel Coil coated with an AFP thin organic coating can be painted directly, without any prior surface treatment. However, the paint must be compatible with the AFP resin.
Baosen Steel is one of China leading galvalume steel coil manufacturers and supplying chain supplier for galvalume coils which also called aluzinc steel coils with 55% aluminum, 43.5% zinc and 1.5% silicon alloy metal coating layers, we are manufacturing, packaging, warehousing, logistics, and financing. We produce more than 3 million MTs annually with maximumly production ability. n various types of construction and industrial projects, it's vital to have materials that have been shown to be extremely durable and resistant to such factors as rust, corrosion, and other problems. As technology has evolved over the years, one of the most durable materials that have become popular for a wide array of applications is galvalume steel coil. Galvalume steel plate & sheet owns the most premium corrosion resistance property among the coating metals with the metal-plating ratio. The aluminum-zinc alloy coating structure of the galvalume steel sheet is composed of 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc and 1.6% silicon which is solidified at 600 ℃ temperature. Its whole structure is composed of aluminum-iron-silicon-zinc to form a dense quaternary crystal. Thus forming a layer of strong anti-corrosion factor to prevent corrosive penetration through the barrier.
Galvalume Steel Coil is made by a kind of cold-rolled steel coil with different strength and thickness specifications as the base metal which is pre-coated by hot-plating for Al-Zn coatings on both sides and has a mass percentage of about 55% 43.5% zinc, 1.5% Si, combined with physical protection and integration of high durability and electrochemical protection features of Al and Zn to obtain the substrate metal's strength and ductility but also corrosion resistance of the coating.It not only can protect the inner metal base from corrosion but also the surface was highly decorative bright silver gray and the regular spangle and has a bumpy sense. And this Aluzinc layers coating has very good corrosion resistance ability which offers it 2-6 times the life span versus galvanized steel coils. Developed from hot dipped zinc galvanized and hot-dipped aluminum galvanization tech, galvalume steel combines with excellent characteristics of both products, premium corrosion and oxidation resistance of hot dipped aluminum galvanization and exceptional electrochemical properties of hot dipped zinc coated galvanization, which gives galvalume steel strong anti-rust and anti-corrosion ability at the edge and on the scratched surface. The corrosion resistance property of the 55% aluminum zinc steel roll is from the aluminum layer barrier protection function and the sacrificial protection function of zinc layer. When the steel roll happens trimming, scratches and abrasions, the zinc will take the role of sacrificial coatings to protect the steel's anti-corrosion, the aluminum will form an oxide insoluble protection barrier layer. Aluminum zinc alloy steel coil has been in a variety of different atmospheric environment, carried out more than 20 years of outdoor exposure test, it is confirmed that 55% galvanized steel roll trimming protection function is better than galvanized steel and 5% aluminum zinc steel.
2. Galvalume Steel Coil Excellent heat resistance durable ability and anti-oxidation performance. It can bear temperature under 315℃ without tarnish and can be applied normally under 500℃ for long period. They could reject erosion from water and mud. They are the ideal steel materials for water heating machines, food dehydrators, exhausted tubes, automobile mufflers. And its heat reflection ratio is more than 75% which is double of zinc coated galvanized steel. Heat resistance of the 55% aluminum-zinc alloy steel plate is better than that of the galvanized steel sheet, similar to the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the aluminum plate.
3. Galvalume Steel Coil Excellent performance for coating and machinability. It is highly adhesive to organic color pre painted coatings, and it could be welded and processed as the zinc galvanized steel metals. And it could be cold bent and punching while getting beautiful outlooks. It is also cost savings as a smaller amount of base metal consuming for the same thickness, as aluminum is lighter than zinc density. It also usually gets PVDF resin to get superior chalk resistance and gloss retention as well as stain and chemical resistance. This PVDF (Poly Vinyl Irene Fluoride) is softer than polyester, making it highly formable without risk of cracking. This pretreatments and primers along with superior paint coating have increased product warranties dramatically.
Galvalume Steel Coil Along with being used for roofing, marine, and other industrial applications, this coil is also able to be used in many other ways as well. Because it adheres so well to paint and resists corrosion, it has in recent years been used in home electrical appliances and buildings, showcasing its versatility. Possessing an iron-zinc alloy layer that makes it highly workable, it can be used in appliances that are smaller and smaller. Because of this, it's viewed by many within mechanical engineering as an all-purpose material.

The cladding elements are manufactured from coils of coated Corrugated Galvanized Roof Sheet or stainless Corrugated Galvanized roof sheet. The sheet is uncoiled, flattened and sheared length wise. Then, it is cold processed on a roll- forming,panel bending line. The elem ents are then stacked and packaged attheend of the manufacturing line. The adhesion of the zinc to the base metal (iron- zinccom bination) occurs during the continuous galvanization process and guarantees increased resistance to corrosion,and so does the cathode protection provided by the zinc.
Iron- zinc cathode protection checks the spread of rust on the sheared edgesorin the fixing holes via a transfer of zinc by electrolysis.An important feature ofm etallic coated Corrugated Galvanized roof sheet on a continuous process is that it is rust- resisting,not only on the zinc coated sides but also w hen cut.

For more than a quarter of a century, ZINCALUME Steel has demonstrated its outstanding resistance to atmospheric corrosion. This protection against corrosion, which is remarkable for an exclusively metallic coating, is the result of the combined action of aluminium and zinc. The aluminium protects the steel substrate, creating a shield between the surface and the atmosphere. This aluminium barrier is very stable, as the aluminium oxide coating that forms on the surface is insoluble in most environments, thus ensuring a long-lasting resistance to corrosion. The zinc provides the same protection as it does for galvanised steels whenever the steel substrate is exposed (e.g. by accidental cuts or scratches). In practice, the zinc corrodes instead of the steel, a phenomenon known as sacrificial cathodic protection. The combined effect of these two protective mechanisms ensures that ZINCALUME Steel performs better than steel sheets protected with either pure zinc or pure aluminium.
ZINCALUME Steel sets the standard for dry and insulated roofing.This product combines attractive aesthetics with demonstrated durability.Aesthetically attractive and exceptionally durable! The natural spangled silver finish of ZINCALUME Steel lends an attractive aesthetic quality to the steel sheet.

Gulf investors not enough to rescue Citigroup: DIC
Gulf investment agency Dubai International Capital (DIC) said on Tuesday it would take "a lot more money" to rescue Citigroup Inc following investments from Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia's Prince Alwaleed.
Sameer Al Ansari, chief executive officer of the investment agency was asked by Reuters what it would take to rescue the bank.
Dubai International Capital, which manages about $13 billion of assets, has invested in HSBC Holdings Plc and India's ICICI Bank.
"It's going to take more than that to rescue Citi," he had earlier told a private equity financial conference.
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, a sovereign wealth fund owned by the world's fifth-largest oil exporter, last year bought a 4.9 per cent stake in Citigroup, which has been hammered by write-downs linked to the US subprime mortgage crisis.
The Kuwait Investment Authority said in January it would invest $3 billion in Citigroup.
Citigroup suffered a record $9.83 billion fourth-quarter loss tied mainly to mortgage write-downs. (Reuters)

Single Review: Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves – 'Moonshine'
Tags: Dance, indie, indie dance, mark sharp & the bicycle thieves, moonshine, rock, Scotland, single, west lothian
- 7/10
West Lothian five-piece, Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves, are aiming for their eclectic sound to reverberate with a world wide audience through the release of anthemic new single 'Moonshine'.
The band have gained a reputation for their burgeoning live shows in Scotland which has led to them picking up support slots with Kyle Falconer and recently Lewis Capaldi at Edinburgh's Summer Sessions. It's easy to see why crowds are flocking to see this up and coming act with tracks like the popular recent single 'Tippy Toes' as well as current banger 'Moonshine'.
Combining elements of classic rock tropes and modern synth-led soundscapes with stirring choruses and memorable hooks, Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves straddle the line between indie dance floor fillers and foot stomping rock and roll. It's this mixture that sets them out from many of their contemporaries and sits them stylistically somewhere between Friendly Fires and Foals.
Their reputation is beginning to take hold north of the border with rowdy shows taking place at the renowned King Tuts and G2 in Glasgow as well as selling out The Garage (Attic) in less than five hours.
With 'Moonshine' showing another string to the band's bow and more music due over the course of 2020, Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves look set to gain many more fans throughout the UK and beyond.
'Moonshine' is out now.
As the year comes to a close, Edinburgh four-piece Redolent have made their anticipated return unveiling their hypnotic new single
York's Mary And The Ram have peered from behind the curtain and exhibited their dark, synthwave soundscapes to the world
Forgive us, we're a little late to the party with this one and we only have ourselves to blame. Freja

"Marsh has retired, which means he's taking a thorough inventory of his life. His reflections and recollections makeAdmissionsan even more introspective memoir than his first, if such a thing is possible."—The New York Times
"Disarmingly frank storytelling...his reflections on death and dying equal those in Atul Gawande's excellentBeing Mortal."—The Economist
Henry Marsh has spent a lifetime operating on the surgical frontline. There have been exhilarating highs and devastating lows, but his love for the practice of neurosurgery has never wavered.
Following the publication of his celebratedNew York TimesbestsellerDo No Harm, Marsh retired from his full-time job in England to work pro bono in Ukraine and Nepal. InAdmissions he describes the difficulties of working in these troubled, impoverished countries and the further insights it has given him into the practice of medicine.
Marsh also faces up to the burden of responsibility that can come with trying to reduce human suffering. Unearthing memories of his early days as a medical student, and the experiences that shaped him as a young surgeon, he explores the difficulties of a profession that deals in probabilities rather than certainties, and where the overwhelming urge to prolong life can come at a tragic cost for patients and those who love them.
Reflecting on what forty years of handling the human brain has taught him, Marsh finds a different purpose in life as he approaches the end of his professional career and a fresh understanding of what matters to us all in the end.
HENRY MARSHstudied medicine at the Royal Free Hospital in London, became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1984 and was appointed Consultant Neurosurgeon at Atkinson Morley's/St George's Hospital in London in 1987. He has been the subject of two documentary films,Your Life in Their Hands, which won the Royal Television Society Gold Medal, andThe English Surgeon, which won an Emmy, and is the author of theNew York Times bestselling memoirDo No Harm andNBCC finalist Admissions. He was made a CBE in 2010.
Praise forAdmissions
"Marsh has retired, which means he's taking a thorough inventory of his life. His reflections and recollections makeAdmissionsan even more introspective memoir than his first, if such a thing is possible." —The New York Times
"Consistently entertaining...Honesty is abundantly apparent here—a quality as rare and commendable in elite surgeons as one suspects it is in memoirists." —The Guardian
"It feels like a privilege to spend time with Marsh, an exemplary person with lambent emotions whose fearsome skills and hidden fears are a reminder of how exultant, sad, ardent, and swift life really is." —The New Yorker
"Poignant, fascinating stories."—People
"His descriptions of his work there demonstrate again his gift with both scalpel and pen. In vivid prose, he captures the terrifying risks he faces with each cut, each decision."—The Washington Post
"Admissions is wandering and ruminative."—New York Times
"Sensational ... Marsh is curmudgeonly, unflinching, clinical, competitive, often contemptuous and consistently curious. In Admissions he scrubs up just as well the second time around and continues to revel in his joyous candour." —The Sunday Times
"Marsh is, given his profession, a surprisingly emotional man, likably so. His account of his younger self that threads through this compulsive book is a Bildungsroman in itself. He is also a fine writer and storyteller, and a nuanced observer." —Tim Adams,Observer
"Do No Harm, candid and tender, was one of the most powerful books written by a doctor ... His follow-up book does not disappoint. The maverick is back, even more blunt and irascible, with tales of thrilling, high-wire operations at medicine's unconquered frontier, woven through with personal memoir ... Marsh in full spate is quite magnificent . . . a master of tar-black, deadpan humour." —Melanie Reid,The Times
"Henry Marsh, a neurosurgeon for 30 years, is in the front ranks. This thoughtful account (his second, afterDo No Harm; W&N, 2014) charting retirement and surgical work in Nepal and Ukraine brims with insights - not only on the fraught nexus of scalpel and brain, but on the complexities of ageing and the pleasures of beekeeping, tree-planting and carpentry." —Barbara Kiser,Nature
"I particularly relished his descriptions of the anatomy of the brain itself, as well as his can-do accounts of freeing cancerous masses from their baroque architecture - but I enjoyed (if this is the correct word) still more his willingness to delve as fearlessly into his own, troubled being ... accounts of highly undoctorly behaviour that nonetheless confirms Marsh as the man I would most like to have prying open my skull. Perhaps most disarming of all is Marsh's frankness about his own fears of growing older and dying ... Should be distributed to every care home in Britain." —Will Self,New Statesman
"Superb...a eulogy to surgery and a study of living. I didn't want this book to end. Henry Marsh is part of a growing canon of superb modern medical writers . . . whose storytelling and prose are transportative ... His timing is also impeccable ... His sentences, too, feel like works of the finest craftmanship, made with the love that goes into both his woodwork and surgery." —Jessamy Calkin,Daily Telegraph
"Admissions is a humbling read, in which neurosurgeon Henry Marsh shares fascinating facts learnt during his 40-year career as a brain surgeon. He has a deep humanity that resonates throughout."—Good Housekeeping
"An enthralling book, unputdownable ... It is an exhilarating, even thrilling read, a glimpse into a world we hope we may never have to enter."—The Arts Desk
"A truly extraordinary account. Henry Marsh's honesty and simple pragmatism underpin an amazing life of tantalising curiosity and contact with the most complex organ in the known universe. I often wonder about the physical structure of my own brain, about the bits that work and the bits that don't . . . and here is a man who has seen it, tweaked it, repaired it and yet still doesn't know it. It is tempting to try and find a magic in the mystery, but in fact this is a celebration of the magnificence of the brain." —Chris Packham
"Emerging from his own brusque acceptance of the inevitability of suffering and death is a deep compassion for his patients and their families ... The brain, with its two hemispheres is somehow both identical to and yet separate from the mind and the self ... It is fascinating to have it dissected, and with such psychological and clinical penetration, by someone for whom it is horribly untheortical and immediate ... Self-lacerating in his pursuit of the truth."—Jane O'Grady, Literary Review
"The reason for Marsh's success - besides the precision and elegance of his prose - is surely down to the fact that he grapples with matters of life, death and consciousness on a daily basis. And in a world where plain speaking is increasingly rare, Marsh tells it like it is ... Marsh's commitment to truth-telling makes this a genuinely humbling as well as fascinating read. And, like Do No Harm, it leaves a deep and permanent impression." —Stephanie Cross,The Lady
"A fascinating memoir ... Whether discussing his mistakes, or furious at politically inspired bureaucratic interference in what should be purely medical decisions from the UK to Ukraine via Nepal, Marsh paints a vivid picture of the pressures imposed on a surgeon who is quite literally at the cutting edge of modern medicine."
—William Hartston, Daily Express
"Disarmingly frank storytelling and...querulously, warty sort of heroism. He is, in spite of himself, hugely likeable...his reflections on death and dying equal those in Atul Gawande's excellentBeing Mortal ...Admissions is more about the man than the surgeon, but it is excellent in its own right."—The Economist
"Marsh writes, "I had always loved my work, even though it was so often painful." That love is clear inAdmissions. In spite of frequent dark musings, he takes joy in his craft, in his family, his friends and his cottage on the canal. He may have dying on his mind, but he still has much to do and much to give."- Shelf Awareness
Praise forDo No Harm
"A surprising page-turner ... Marsh's prose is elegant and seasoned, with no false bravado." —The Seattle Times
"Marsh delivers plenty of hospital drama. Yet what sticks with you are the moments when the lens flips and the field of view widens, and you realize that, in learning about the minutiae of neurosurgery, you're gaining insight into life itself." —The Wall Street Journal
"One of the best books ever about a life in medicine." —Booklist (starred review)
"Neurosurgery has met its Boswell in Henry Marsh. Painfully honest about the mistakes that can 'wreck' a brain, exquisitely attuned to the tense and transient bond between doctor and patient, and hilariously impatient of hospital management, Marsh draws us deep into medicine's most difficult art and lifts our spirits. It's a superb achievement." —Ian McEwan
"When a book opens like this: 'I often have to cut into the brain and it is something I hate doing' – you can't let it go, you have to read on, don't you? Brain surgery, that's the most remote thing for me, I don't know anything about it, and as it is with everything I'm ignorant of, I trust completely the skills of those who practice it, and tend to forget the human element, which is failures, misunderstandings, mistakes, luck and bad luck, but also the non-professional, everyday lifethat they have.Do No Harm reveals all of this, in the midst of life-threatening situations, and that's one reason to read it; true honesty in an unexpected place." —Karl Ove Knausgaard,Financial Times

Lower testosterone levels may lead men to have less sex with fewer partners, but a new study suggests low levels in both men and women may also increase relationship quality overall.
Lower testosterone levels may lead men to have less sex with fewer partners, but a new study suggests they may also increase relationship quality overall.
Researchers from the University of Michigan recruited 39 heterosexual couples, asked how their relationships were going, and correlated their answers with testosterone levels in their saliva.
The results, which were published in the journal Hormones and Behavior, showed that satisfaction and commitment, for both men and women, were negatively associated with their own testosterone levels.
Men even experienced less satisfaction with and felt less commitment to women who had higher testosterone levels.
"The assumption is generally that high testosterone is good for sexual relationships," said Robin Edelstein, PhD, the study's lead author, in a news release that accompanied publication of the study results.
"These findings suggest that once people are in a relationship, lower levels of testosterone may be beneficial—or may reflect better ongoing relationship dynamics."
Participant age ranged from 18 to 32, while relationship duration ranged from two months to seven years. Only three couples were either married or engaged and just two had children.
To evaluate the relationships for satisfaction, commitment and investment, researchers used three sets of statements from the Investment Model Scale.
Those statements ranged from "My relationship is close to ideal" and "Our relationship makes me very happy" to "I want our relationship to last forever" and "My partner and I share many memories."
Participants quantified their agreement with each statement on a scale that ranged from 1 (do not agree at all) to 9 (agree completely).
To measure testosterone levels, the researchers asked participants to rinse their mouths and spit 5 ml of saliva into sterilized tubes, which were then frozen until they were tested with a commercially available kit.
Subsequent analysis of both the men and women showed a significant negative correlation between a person's own testosterone levels and his or her levels of satisfaction, commitment and investment.
The case was not so clear when it came to partner testosterone levels.
For men, there was a significant negative relationship between partner testosterone and both satisfaction with and commitment to relationships.
For women, the relationship between partner testosterone and relationship quality was likewise negative, but the size of the effect was only marginally significant for both commitment and satisfaction.
There were no significant correlations, for either gender, between partner testosterone levels and relationship investment.
The study authors say there is no way to know whether it is lower testosterone levels that cause better relationships or good relationships that cause testosterone levels to fall, or even some third factor that accounts for both. Further research will be needed to answer such questions.
Still, they say, their work contains several significant findings.
"Testosterone has previously been associated with men's relationship quality (eg, Booth and Dabbs, 1993; Julian and McKenry, 1989), but to our knowledge, the current study is the first to demonstrate similar associations among women," they wrote.
"Our findings also provide novel evidence that an individual's relationship quality is negatively associated with his or her partner's testosterone levels, and that such associations are stronger among men than women."

Susan L. Carruthers,
Cold War Captives: Imprisonment, Escape, and Brainwashing.
California: University of California, 2009.
(Review copy supplied by University of California Press)
A professor in the Federated Department of History at Rutgers University, Susan L Carruthers' research on American and British 20th century history focuses on the relation of media to conflict and war. Her previous publications include, The Media at War: Communication and Conflict in the Twentieth Century (2002) and Winning Hearts and Minds: British Governments, the Media and Colonial Counter-Insurgency 1944-60 (1995). More recently, she has turned her attention to the contemporary phenomenon of the Iraq war film, taking a particular interest in documentaries. Cold War Captives: Imprisonment, Escape, and Brainwashing foregrounds her interest in media, conflict and popular culture in what is an exemplary study of this pivotal moment in the history of American cultural and political life.
Meticulously researched and impressive in its breadth, Cold War Captives draws on official government documentation, tabloid press, cartoons and Hollywood movies to develop a rich and provocative cultural history of this period. While the American cold war has received much scholarly attention, Carruthers' work traces an alternative path, pursuing the "rhetorical oppositions between slavery and freedom" (p. 21) that took shape around actual struggles over repatriation, forced labour, defection, imprisonment and mind control.
Carruthers first captures the reader's imagination with the story of Oksana Kasenkina's "leap for freedom" from the upper story of the Soviet Consulate in New York City on the 12th August 1948. She poses that it was at this point that the cold war became "emotionally resonant for ordinary Americans" (p. 3). As the title Cold War Captives suggests, Carruthers places the binaries of slavery and freedom at the centre of her investigation into cultural and international politics in an effort to understand "what it meant to Americans to be engaged in a cold war"(p. 22), and why and how this conflict frequently found expression in the metaphor of captivity. While acknowledging that the genre of captivity has a tendency to resurface at times of insecurity, she argues that the American cold war imaginary was informed by a dichotomy between mobility and captivity, between human slavery and human freedom.
With America portraying itself as the "free world" and with its population convinced that communism shackled its people, confinement under communist domination was portrayed as monstrous. Carruthers notes that during the 1950s while departures from the Eastern block declined sharply, the Iron Curtain, in the Western imagination, became less penetrable, fed by tabloid headlines of daring escapes. Hollywood further helped to generate the idea of "the free world" as desirable through its portrayals of a culture of glamour, sophistication and consumption, while also helping to contribute to the stock representations of escapees as seen, for example, in Elia Kazan's Man on a Tightrope (USA 1953), Ralph Thomas's The Iron Petticoat (UK 1956) and Howard Hughes's Jet Pilot (USA 1957).
The "diabolical techniques" of brainwashing become fodder for fantastic media coverage, given headline attention with the arrest in Budapest of U.S. businessman Robert Vogeler as a traitor, and the sentencing of Cardinal Mindszentry, as a spy. While the American public could accept Vogeler's full confession in a Budapest court in 1950 and the regime's declaration of his impassioned contrition, Carruthers claims they were unwilling to believe that Mindzsentry, a staunch anti-communist, would ever, in his right mind, denounce his actions. The unease around the regime's ability to "break" the tough Catholic cardinal and images of him on trial looking "otherworldly" helped to compound the fearful idea that the communists had sophisticated techniques for "mind control".
Turning her attention to the Korean War, Carruthers suggests that what most Americans recall about this conflict "wasn't Washington's stand on repatriation but their prisoners' wholesale collapse in captivity" (p. 216). Attempting to understand why twenty-one young American soldiers refused to be repatriated, she observes:
Early cold war America was indeed increasingly affluent, but amidst the 'people of plenty' millions still lived in poverty….Nearly all of the nonrepatriates had grown up poor, some in utter destitution.
…Gothic flourishes aside, these stories of broken homes, impoverished childhoods, and truncated educations failed to mark the twenty-one as distinct from their military peers. On average, the American GI who served in Korea possessed eight and a half years of schooling. Forty-four percent had only a grade-school education, and among both captives and casualties in the Korean War, African Americans were disproportionately represented. (pp. 213-214)
Flash-forward to the current Iraq War and it seems that little has changed. The status of the American GIs who fought in the Korean War has a strong resonance with current military recruits. Within a decade most of the soldiers who refused to be repatriated did return home. However, Carruthers suggests that the shame felt about the mental collapse of imprisoned Americans and some GIs' refusal to be repatriated resulted, as the cold war progressed, in the development of a national preoccupation with a perceived susceptibility to manipulation. What became know as the POW "collapse thesis" led to the military's attempts to fortify the national character of "American boys". (p. 206) Part of this innovation involved "torture schools"—camps where recruits were placed on mock death-marches, forced to spend extensive periods of time in sweat boxes, given electric shocks by their peers and deprived of sleep.
Since September 11, 2001, Carruthers claims we have seen the mobilization of traces of cold war strategies and imaginary, with the "harsh interrogation" techniques uncovered at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan and Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. In conclusion she argues that these actions are a direct outgrowth of America's encounter with communist captivity in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The "torture schools" confront us with a chilling reminder of America's wiliness to brutalise its own military forcec; the ramifications of these extreme and inhuman actions are surely not surprising.

Albrecht Borgaard (anglicisé en Albert Borgard ; né le  – ) est un ingénieur militaire et maître d'artillerie danois. Il réforma entièrement l'artillerie britannique au début du  et en fit l'une des armes les plus efficaces du moment.

Ses débuts
Issu d'une vieille famille danoise, il était né à Holbæk, dans le Jutland. Il s'engagea dans l'armée danoise en 1675, au début de la guerre suédo-danoise, et obtint son brevet d'artilleur en 1676. Il servit tout au long du conflit, et lorsque la paix fut conclue en 1679, fut promu au rang d'artificier, et chargé de la reconnaissance des côtes de l'île de Zélande.  Il prit part au secours de Vienne, à la  et au siège de Buda. En 1688, il quitta le service du Danemark en raison de , et s'engagea comme volontaire au service de la Pologne ; mais il reçut alors une offre d'officier dans la Garde Prussienne, qu'il accepta. Dans les rangs de l'armée prussienne, il servit lors de la campagne du Rhin et prit part au siège de Bonn. En 1692, il quitta l'armée prussienne, chargé par l'empereur de recruter un régiment ; faute d'y parvenir, il rallia au mois d'avril le camp de Louis XIV stationné devant Namur. Sous la bannière française, il s'illustra lors de l'attaque de la citadelle, à tel point que le roi de France lui octroya une prime de , et lui offrit une commission de capitaine ; mais Borgaard, protestant convaincu, refusa cette offre, préférant se mettre sous les ordres du colonel Gore, dont il avait fait la connaissance à Bonn comme volontaire.

Au service de l'armée britannique
Quoiqu'il n'eût alors encore que 33 ans en se mettant au service de l'armée anglaise, il avait déjà pris part à 11 batailles et douze sièges, ce qui en faisait l'un des officiers d'artillerie les plus aguerris du moment. Gore le présenta au roi Guillaume III, lequel reconnut sa compétence et lui offrit le grade de maître de pièce en 1693. Élevé au grade de capitaine et d'adjudant d'artillerie dans les Flandres en 1695, il prit part aux batailles de Steinkerque et de Landen, ainsi qu'aux sièges de Huy et de Namur. Lorsqu'au terme de la guerre de la Ligue d'Augsbourg, on congédia tous les mercenaires étrangers, il fut, avec un seul autre officier nommé Schlunt, le seul maintenu dans les rangs de l'armée anglaise, et même en 1698 Guillaume III le promut ingénieur militaire. En 1702, il s'illustra à la prise des forts de Sainte-Catherine, de Matagorda et de Durand. À son retour en Angleterre, il épousa Barbara Bradshaw, dont il eut plusieurs enfants. Au terme de son service dans les Flandres, il fut promu lieutenant-colonel d'artillerie, et chargé du commandement de l'artillerie en Espagne et au Portugal sous les ordres de Lord Galway. Il s'empara de Valencia de Alcántara, de Ciudad Rodrigo et d'Alcántara, et justifia ainsi la percée du comte de Galway en Espagne. En 1708, il supervisa la réduction du château de San Felipe à Minorque. Il était aux côtés de Stanhope aux batailles d'Almansa, d'Almenara et de Saragosse, où il reçut quatre blessures, ainsi qu'à Villaviciosa où, blessé et laissé pour mort, il se rendit à l'ennemi. Échangé avec d'autres prisonniers, il retourne en Angleterre et est nommé chef de batterie le . En 1713, il mit à profit les leçons de Berlin pour des feux d'artifice pour, selon ses propres mots,  En 1715, il commandait le train d'artillerie envoyé au duc d'Argyll en Écosse, en 1718, il était nommé géomètre-assistant, et en 1719 il commandait l'artillerie lors de l'expédition de Vigo. Ce fut là le dernier acte de service actif du colonel Borgaard ; mais le plus grand service qu'il eut jamais rendu à la Couronne britannique est encore la création du régiment Royal Artillery.

La création du régiment Royal Artillery
Dans le récit qu'il donne lui-même de ses états de service, Borgaard dit :  Son comportement honorable en tant que colonel nous est confirmé par une lettre de son neveu, le général de brigade Albert Borgard Michelsen :  (Olsen). Borgaard fut promu major-général en 1735, puis lieutenant-général en 1739. À son trépas à Woolwich, le , à l'âge avancé de 92 ans, il laissait à son successeur, le , l'un des meilleurs corps d'artillerie au monde.

Parked at Otter Hole Trailhead. Took the Hewitt-Butler Trail (blue blazes) to the Highland Trail/Otter Hole Trail (green blazes/teal diamonds) to the Wyanokie Crest Trail (yellow blazes) and up to the top of Buck Mountain. Continuing on the Wyanokie Crest Trail off Buck Mountain, came across two black bears running along the ridge 20 or so feet up the trail.
At the end of the trail, took a right on the Wyanokie Circular Trail (white circle with red dot). Then took another right on the Otter Hole Trail until it met back up with the Highland Trail and then back to the trailhead via the Hewitt-Butler Trail.


However, she's extremely enthusiastic about new ideas. She asked to learn about negative numbers and loved figuring them out, she loved binary and has become very proficient at it, and she's currently really enjoying combinatorics. There's something that really appeals to her about mastering the patterns that come with a new concept or idea.
Anyone else have any experience with this? I have a hunch that people wouldn't think of her as a mathy kid if she were in a standard classroom, because she doesn't like calculations or puzzles. But she's so extremely motivated by ideas that I do think of her as mathy.
Yeah, we've had to switch to doing largely verbal drills for math facts, because otherwise there's mutiny! Luckily, my kiddo has a good memory so that's been working for us. How old is your daughter?
Lovely thread, thank you! A good reminder to buy some Martin Gardiner books (I loved them as a kid), and of course, there are tons of newer ideas on there I'm going to have to ponder :-).

square_25, my older ds is on the extreme end of concept driven. I'm a science person, not a math person, so when he was little, we just played shop. I had no grand visions or pedagogical opinions, I just taught him about money, made up funny word problems, estimated stuff, played multiplication war, etc. Then, at the age of 6, having never been introduced to the concepts, he invented algebra, reasonably complex algebra. I had no idea that these thoughts were in his head, none. We had been playing shop. That is when I started reading up on how to teach him. But interestingly, he was extremely computation adverse. He *refused* drill, completely refused to do it. He seemed to only be able to practice his numeracy skills through complex 10 step word problems. It was at the age of 8 that he decided that all teaching was cheating, in fact, that all textbook explanations were cheating. I'm actually not sure how he learned fractions - he must have had insight and just confirmed his method by checking his answers in the back of the book, because he *refused* to be taught how to do it by me or by any written explanation. At the time he was working his way through the word problems in singapore math intensive practice. Over time, I came to believe that his mathematical skill was so high, that drill of any sort was the equivalent of proof-reading a phone book. You might have good intentions, but there is just no way you can actually *do* something so boring. However, this boy then took 3 years to get through AoPS intro algebra, and this slow speed just about gave me a heart attack. But he had to do it on his own. And he had to do it at his own pace. And he had to *derive* every. single. concept independently. But you know what, he was on the NZ IMO team at 15, and now is taking grad level math classes at MIT as a freshman. So his very strange path was apparently just right for him.
My point is that you are mathy and your child is mathy. Perhaps there is just NO drill in her future. I remember my son memorizing his subtraction facts while concurrently working through AoPS algebra independently. Conceptually, he was far far far ahead, but when it came to *computation* he was very average. I've often wondered what would have happened to him if he had been forced to do math in school. My guess is that it would have drained the passion right out of him. I'm so grateful to be able to have offered him another path.
Your kiddo sounds mathier than my daughter, to be fair! I assume he liked math puzzles more than her, anyway: at least, that's what I expect from people who do contests and go to the IMO. But yeah... she'd much rather learn her facts in the process of solving a system of equations or figuring out a number in binary than she'd drill them. That bit sounds familiar!
Do you not receive PMs for some reason, by the way? I was going to message you about MIT... we know it well, since my husband's from Boston and is also a mathematician. Wasn't sure if you wanted any recommendations or anything like that :-).
Sure, but I have to say you are assuming the standard classroom is computation based and offers challenge via puzzles. Ours are not, the K-3 teachers here had much to offer.
I'm sure there are as many classroom experiences as there are classrooms. I can only speak to what I've experienced myself (my daughter went to kindergarten) and via children of friends. I'm sure there are better experiences out there.
What activities did your children enjoy in their classrooms from K to 3? I'm always interested in resources.
The discussion of concepts, the ability to experiment, the games (NIM, etc) and figuring out the strategies and discussing same with like minds, the weights and balance beams (they are getting the algebriac concepts done practically), exploring the concept of measuring quantities of time, temperature, length, figuring out other bases, optimization schemes, mapping, on and on. They aren't doing 'units' via resources, they are answering questions posed by themselves or by their teacher, things they want to figure out, patterns they have noticed and want to discuss.
All of this stuff is available on the internet using search terms such as 'math club resources'.
She's about to turn 9.
We never did math fact drill. She wanted nothing to do with it. She calculates as she needs to, with tricks like x4 is doubling twice, and I put up a multiplication chart for her to reference until she pretty much had them down. She just finished Algebra A and I didn't let her use a calculator, so it doesn't seem to have slowed her down much. She really runs with the concepts, though.
Yeah, I'm sure if the verbal fact drill hadn't worked, we'd have given it up entirely. I'd much rather my daughter knows the whole bag of multiplication "tricks" (which are really thorough understanding of how multiplication works) than have her tediously memorize the multiplication table :-). Luckily, she seems to have gotten it down naturally with practice and a bit of drill as we walk around. We only drilled after she had figured out about 4 ways to figure each one out, and that worked well for us.
Cool! AoPS Number Theory will go through different bases, and precalc does complex numbers... possibly one other class does complex numbers before that, too, I don't quite remember.

I'm really looking forward to watching tonight's episode! I managed to tune in to one of their earlier episodes about suicide and thought it was interesting, insightful and very relevant.
how are you? can I help in any way? would you like some company?
I think that speaks realms..
Have you found the programmes helpful Shaz?
I have to say I did not get past the title..
I might have a look at iview now and see if there are any that have not yet expired..
How does Mr Shaz enjoy them?

I responded well to the "You can't ask that" program.
I felt there was a line in the sand, if you will: that if you cross it, you may never be sure how far from the coast you end up.


Giving plants artificial light so they can do their thing is obviously not a foreign concept – plants need soil, water, and light. I also find that they respond well to an occasional filthy joke, but that's another blog post. There are tons of plant stores in Denver that sell plant lighting – you should see their store front windows at night, they're like rave lighting!
Now that the rant is over, the concept of giving plants artificial light is even more interesting when you consider adding artificial light to a growing space (you know, a flower pot). I would love to grow a handful of fresh basil or thyme right in my kitchen in a pot that feeds the plant some light. Designers Kfir Schwalb and Orit Magia of Studio Shulab have created just that – a pot that has a light source above with a variable height between the plant and the source. Lightpot utilizes LEDs to feed the plants those loving rays.
Check out Shulab's work on the Shulab website.
