Navigating brain oscillations and Alzheimer's disease
Space, the final frontier. Uncharted and unexplored, it remains a mystery to us. But aside from the common cliché – apologies to all Trekkies – space is much more than the enigmatic celestial void we contemplate with wonder and awe. It is everything around us, from our personal space to traversing the planet. Navigating successfully around space is essential to our survival as a species. Some may be better than others. There's even a gender difference, but I'll let you guess what it is. As we get older, all of us begin to struggle a little with navigating around new as well as familiar spaces. But for a patient with Alzheimer's disease, this ability can be severely compromised. Enter Kei Igarashi, assistant professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology and Fellow of the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) at the University of California, Irvine. His work is making strides in understanding how spatial navigation and spatial memory mechanisms deteriorate in Alzheimer's disease, potentially paving the way to improved diagnosis and treatment.
I arrived at Igarashi's newly established lab in Irvine Hall on the medical school campus ready to pepper him with questions about his most recent paper. He welcomed me into his no frills office looking out onto Irvine's expanse of undeveloped desert.
On one side stood a wooden chair etched with the University of California letters. "I bought this for 30 bucks!" he commented with pride. On the other side stood a bookcase where one book in particular was placed prominently in front – a pristine copy of The Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory by Howard Eichenbaum, a memory pioneer who had passed away suddenly only a few days before our interview. Eichenbaum visited the Irvine CNLM just a few months before and Igarashi made sure to get his copy of the book signed by the distinguished author. "His early studies on olfaction informed my work a great deal. Such a tragic loss to us all…" he soberly remarked.
Kei Igarashi with 2014 Nobel Laureates Edvard and May-Britt Moser and John O'Keefe
He asked me to sit down on a cushioned chair next to his desk, as I pulled out my camera, pen, and notepad. Igarashi arrived at Irvine in the spring of 2016 after completing a highly coveted postdoctoral fellowship with Edvard and May-Britt Moser. The Mosers were awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, an award they shared with University College London's John O'Keefe for their collective discoveries related to the brain mechanisms of spatial navigation. The Mosers direct the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Trondheim, Norway. "I could not have asked for better mentors in fundamental science", he said.
Since arriving at Irvine, Igarashi's lab has focused on making new inroads into understanding the role of brain oscillations in spatial processing and how these mechanisms are disrupted in Alzheimer's disease. Spatial navigation involves a set of interconnected circuits nestled in regions deep in the brain, the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex. The same two regions are among the earliest sites to deteriorate in Alzheimer's. A coincidence? Likely not. Igarashi is studying this intricate system in detail to identify why it fails.
His lab is recording electrical activity directly from these regions in a novel Alzheimer's mouse model. The amyloid precursor protein (APP) knock-in model developed by Japanese researchers in 2014, he explained, offers several advantages over transgenic models. This particular model exhibits typical age-related pathology without overproduction of other APP fragments. His findings, published in June of this year, show impairments in the synchrony or coupling of brain waves in these mice. In the normal brain, two different types of brain waves (gamma and theta) synchronize to allow for information transfer from one brain region to another. In the Alzheimer's mouse, however, gamma oscillations in the entorhinal cortex were impaired.
It was Igarashi's postdoctoral advisors, the Mosers, who first identified cells in the entorhinal cortex that represent space using a grid pattern (dubbed grid cells). Disruption of the gamma rhythm in the same region could be a possible mechanism for spatial navigation deficits in Alzheimer's patients. Next, he intends to stimulate the region to determine if the gamma rhythm can be restored. He hopes to accomplish these experiments in the coming months.
Just a synapse away from the entorhinal cortex is another region that is of particular interest to Igarashi. The piriform cortex, the olfactory center in the brain, has direct and privileged access to the entorhinal-hippocampal memory system. All other senses must funnel through the thalamus, traditionally thought to be a relay station (although admittedly it's more complicated). Olfactory information, however, passes directly to the memory centers of the brain. Igarashi has his eye on this system as well, one that is known to be vulnerable in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Using olfactory tasks with precisely timed odor delivery, he hopes to use a combination of electrophysiological recordings and optogenetics to better understand how this system operates and what features may be compromised in Alzheimer's.
We walked across the hall to his lab where he took me on a quick tour. Immediately visible were two large computer monitors showing raw traces from the electrodes connected to his physiological recording equipment. Around the lab he had organized a surgical station, a T-shaped maze for behavioral tests in rodents, as well as an olfactory chamber. We then sat at his fabrication station, complete with tools and gadgets for building electrodes and machining electrical components.
"When you're setting up a lab, no one gives you a shopping list," he shrugged his shoulders. It was clear that he rose to the challenge quickly and set up his lab with state-of-the-art equipment. "And then of course, some things you have to make", he demonstrated to me how to make a tetrode – four wires twisted around each other.
I marveled at the simplicity and asked "what does it do?" He laughed, "Everything!" He explained that this simple technology transformed the field by allowing investigators to identify individual cells firing by recording electrical activity in their vicinity. The tetrode was invented by another CNLM Fellow, distinguished professor Bruce McNaughton, one of the key reasons why Igarashi was motivated to come to Irvine. "It's remarkable to be at the same institution with a pioneer like Bruce."
As I watched him work the forceps deliberately and carefully under the microscope, I couldn't help but notice the precision and fine motor skill needed for such work. I asked if this came naturally or took years of practice. "Both" he said, "but I played with Legos quite a bit as a kid." I suspect it took a bit more than Legos to acquire these skills. Despite having students and postdoctoral fellows in the lab, Igarashi still spends considerable amounts of time in the lab himself, doing experiments, setting up rigs, building tetrodes, testing animals, and teaching his growing team how to use these techniques to address the scientific questions at hand.
Igarashi's work on spatial processing in Alzheimer's disease is clearly poised to transform the field and is gaining steady support. Most recently, he received a highly competitive seed grant to support his innovative work from the Brain Research Foundation, a nonprofit supporting neuroscience research. The first of many, he hopes. We hope so too.
Uncharted and unexplored as it may be, work by Igarashi and others stands to make the fundamental and translational neuroscience of space a little less of a mystery.

On 23 January 2011, as U.S. efforts to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks floundered, the Qatar-based al-Jazeera satellite TV channel and Britain's Guardian newspaper released a set of documents, written mostly by Palestinian officials (the "Palestine Papers"), claimed to be "the confidential record of ten years of efforts to seek a peace agreement with Israel." The more than 1,600 pages of documents dating from September 1999 to September 2010 came mostly from the PLO Negotiation Affairs Department (PLONAD) and its successor body, the Negotiations Support Unit (NSU) headed by chief negotiator Saeb Erakat, and included memos, emails, maps, minutes of private meetings, accounts of high-level exchanges, strategy papers, and Power Point presentations. The papers were leaked (apparently by several PLONAD/NSU staff) to al-Jazeera. Timed with the release, al-Jazeera launched a series (1/23–26) of hour-long programs to discuss the contents of the leaked material thematically: Jerusalem, settlements, and borders; refugees and right of return; PA security coordination with Israel; and the negotiations process.

Why Varun Dhawan is not afraid of failure
Entertainment Bollywood
The actor can currently be seen in last weekend's 'Kalank'
Published: April 21, 2019 12:20 IANS
Varun Dhawan is expanding his horizon with each of his projects — be it 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania', 'October' or the recent release 'Kalank', which has become the highest opener of 2019 so far. The actor says he treats each project as a challenge, and pushes himself to improve his craft.
"I am not scared of failure, but each movie is a challenge. I work harder with each project and try and improve my work constantly," said Dhawan.
After back-to-back successes, the actor says experimenting with one's craft comes as a bigger risk.
"It's definitely a bigger risk because it is a different experience for me. I think that showing your experience is more important and reaching the audience is essential," added the actor, who is associated with Skybags and features in the "Always a Star" campaign.
But he prefers not to think much about failure.
"Failure and success come with every occupation and the film industry is no different. I believe that what goes around comes around. Bad things happen, followed by better things."
The younger of the two sons of director David Dhawan, the actor entered Bollywood with 'Student of the Year' in 2012. He worked as an assistant director to Karan Johar on the 2010 drama 'My Name Is Khan'.
From playing the role of a small town boy in 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' to getting the act right in dance film 'ABCD 2' to the dark and gritty 'Badlapur' to the subtle 'October' to fun films such as 'Dilwale', 'Dishoom', 'Main Tera Hero' and 'Judwaa 2' — he has aced his performance in each of the projects.
Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson has been an inspiration in his life as he navigated the world of glitz and glamour.
"Dwayne Johnson was my main inspiration before I stepped into the industry. I have always admired his work and creativity," he said.
Dhawan is back on the big screen, this time in an intense avatar as Zafar in 'Kalank'. The Abhishek Varman directorial, a period drama, registered business of Rs216 million (Dh11.4 million) on the first day, surpassing the opening day collection of 'Kesari', 'Gully Boy' and 'Total Dhamaal', and has become the highest opener of 2019 so far.
According to trade expert Taran Adarsh, 'Kalank', which opened on Wednesday, is Dhawan's biggest opener.
Talking about the role, he said: "I would define the entire experience as the most challenging role I have done so far. It was really challenging as I had to do all the stunts by myself like going through a wringer, me banging myself against the wall and jumping off heights."

How to Overcome Shyness teaches you several practical things you can do to break out of your cocoon of shyness the way a butterfly breaks out of its cocoon and does things that a cocooned caterpillar can only dream of.
Shyness limits a person's life by encasing them in a lonely cocoon like a metamorphosing caterpillar. Fortunately, for the shy person and the caterpillar, a time comes when they must struggle out of the restrictions of their cocoon if they are to fully enjoy the rest of their lives as beautiful, social butterflies.
If you are determined to metamorphosize from a shy loner to the lovely, sociable being that you have always instinctively known resides inside you, follow the simple steps in this book.
These practical suggestions will help you break out of your shyness cocoon and complete the rest of your life free to do whatever you want to do the way a butterfly enjoys the freedom to fly to whatever flower it fancies.
The first step in using systemic desensitization to overcome shyness involves learning abdominal breathing.
Abdominal breathing or deep breathing is the fastest way to counter the body's stress response. It is also one of the simplest relaxation techniques to learn and perform since it simply involves inhaling deeply through your nose until your abdomen rises, holding your breath for a few seconds, and then exhaling completely until your abdomen falls.
The second step of this systemic desensitization program involves imagining yourself doing what you normally feel shy doing. For example, if shyness stops you from talking to strangers or giving speeches, close your eyes and see yourself with your mind's eye talking to a stranger or giving a speech to one person.
As you begin to feel the distress that emanates from your shyness, take several deep abdominal breaths to counter that distress and continue visualizing yourself taking to the stranger or giving the speech.
Once you can comfortably imagine yourself talking to a stranger or giving a speech to one person without getting stressed or feeling shy, imagine yourself doing that activity to an increasing number of people. To learn more read How to Overcome Shyness.

COMMONWEALTH vs. MUNIUR M., a juvenile.
Delinquent Child. District Court, Delinquent child. Practice, Criminal, Juvenile delinquency proceeding, Admission to sufficient facts to warrant finding, Plea, New trial. Evidence, Juvenile delinquency, Guilty plea.
A District Court judge allowed the juvenile's motion to vacate his admission to sufficient facts and for a new trial on the ground that the admission was coerced. The Commonwealth appealed, and the Appeals Court reversed. Commonwealth v. Muniur M., 83 Mass. App. Ct. 1132 (2013). We granted the juvenile's application for further appellate review. Commonwealth v. Muniur M., 466 Mass. 1106 (2013). We now vacate the judge's order and remand for further proceedings.
Background. In 1992, the juvenile, who was fourteen years old, was charged in the juvenile session of the District Court with delinquency by reason of rape of a child with force under G. L. c. 265, § 22A. It was alleged that he digitally raped a female, who was thirteen years old, with whom he attended middle school. The juvenile later admitted to sufficient facts to warrant an adjudication of delinquency on the charge of statutory rape. When he made this admission, his father was pursuing several State and Federal lawsuits against the city of Pittsfield alleging racial discrimination resulting in his termination as a police officer from the Pittsfield police department. A District Court judge ordered that the juvenile submit to a presentence evaluation pursuant to G. L. c. 123, § 15 (e).
The evaluator met with the juvenile's parents separately, with the juvenile alone, and with all three together. The evaluator observed that the juvenile was "very withdrawn, staring out the window and answering questions in barely audible, short responses" when he was in his father's presence, but "far more animate[d] and responsive" when he was alone. She opined that there was "some underlying depression," which was probably caused by the strain on his father and family as a result of the pending lawsuits. The father appeared to be so preoccupied with his own legal situation that it was difficult to keep him focused on his son. The mother complained that the father was similarly preoccupied at home. The evaluator recognized that both parents were "appropriately concerned" about the juvenile. They acknowledged that he had engaged in some wrongdoing and indicated that they would act in his best interests. Based on these observations, the evaluator concluded that "[t]he line of communication seems to be breaking down in this family both between [the] children and parents and between the parents themselves." She recommended that the probation department closely monitor the juvenile and his family and that the entire family submit to therapy. After receiving the presentence evaluation, the judge adjudicated the juvenile delinquent and committed him to the Department of Youth Services, but suspended the commitment and placed him on probation for one year with conditions that included no contact with the victim outside of school.
In 2011, over eighteen years later, the juvenile filed a motion to vacate his admission and for a new trial pursuant to Mass. R. Crim. P. 30 (b), as appearing in 435 Mass. 1501 (2001). He requested an evidentiary hearing. In his motion, the juvenile alleged that his father, concerned not only with the best interests of the juvenile but also with his own interests, forced him to admit to sufficient facts. The motion was supported by the presentence evaluation, a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit concerning the resolution of his father's lawsuits, several newspaper articles about his father, and two affidavits, one by the juvenile and the other by his father. In his affidavit, the juvenile claimed that although he did not want to "say [he] was guilty" and wanted to go to trial, his father "forced" him "make a deal." His father allegedly warned him that he would be unfairly tried by some of the same people who were involved in his father's lawsuits, and also expressed concern that the juvenile's trial would have an impact on the father's lawsuits. The juvenile averred that he felt pressured to resolve his own legal situation so that it would not affect his father's case. In his own affidavit, the father made similar claims and stated that although the juvenile did not want to admit to sufficient facts, the father "forced" him to do so.
In support of the motion, the juvenile did not submit the colloquy of his admission to sufficient facts. While the docket reflects that a "colloquy [was] given," the contemporaneous record of the colloquy appears to be unavailable. In addition, the juvenile did not submit an affidavit from the counsel who was assigned to represent him in the juvenile session of the District Court. In an affidavit, the juvenile's current counsel represented that the juvenile's former counsel claimed that he did not have any memory of representing the juvenile.
Another District Court judge, who was not the judge who had accepted the juvenile's admission and adjudicated him delinquent, conducted a nonevidentiary hearing. She allowed the motion and made oral findings. She credited the juvenile's claims of coercion primarily based on the affidavits and the contemporaneous presentence evaluation. She did not expressly address the issue whether the juvenile demonstrated a "substantial issue" that warranted a further evidentiary hearing. See Commonwealth v. Marrero, 459 Mass. 235, 240 (2011); Commonwealth v. Shuman, 445 Mass. 268, 278 (2005).
Discussion. A motion to vacate an admission to sufficient facts is treated as a motion for a new trial. "The judge may rule on the issue or issues presented by such motion on the basis of the facts alleged in the affidavits without further hearing if no substantial issue is raised by the motion or affidavits." Mass. R. Crim. P. 30 (c) (3), as appearing in 435 Mass. 1501 (2001). In determining whether to conduct an evidentiary hearing, both the seriousness of the issue raised and the adequacy of the showing on that issue must be considered. See Commonwealth v. Marrero, supra; Commonwealth v. Shuman, supra. When a substantial issue has been raised, and supported by a substantial evidentiary showing, the judge "should hold an evidentiary hearing." Commonwealth v. Marrero, supra, quoting Commonwealth v. Stewart, 383 Mass. 253, 260 (1981). See Reporters' Notes to Rule 30, Mass. Ann. Laws Court Rules, Rules of Criminal Procedure, at 1662 (LexisNexis 2012-2013) (recognizing that when "substantial issue" is raised, "better practice" is to conduct evidentiary hearing). We review under an abuse of discretion standard. Commonwealth v. Yardley Y., 464 Mass. 223, 227 (2013), citing Commonwealth v. Burgos, 462 Mass. 53, 60, cert. denied, 133 S. Ct. 796 (2012).
The allegations in the affidavits, if true, raise serious issues whether the juvenile was coerced into making his admission. The motion judge found that his claims of coercion were credible when the supporting affidavits were read in conjunction with the contemporaneous presentence evaluation, which described his behavioral and emotional changes in the presence of his father and attributed those changes to some depression caused by the strain on his father and family. The motion judge's findings, at the very least, call into question whether the juvenile, who was fourteen years old, had the capacity to make an admission and received an opportunity for meaningful consultation with his parents or another interested adult in order to ensure that his admission was voluntarily made. See Commonwealth v. Yardley Y., supra at 227. In these circumstances, the better course would have been for the judge to allow evidence to be taken (and tested by cross-examination) on the substantial issue of the voluntariness of the juvenile's admission. For these reasons, we vacate the motion judge's order and remand the matter for an evidentiary hearing.
We cannot, and do not, address the merits of the question whether the juvenile is entitled to a new trial. The record, in its present state, is inadequate to determine whether a new trial is required.
Conclusion. The order allowing the motion for a new trial is vacated, and the matter is remanded to the District Court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Lois J. Martin for the juvenile.
Joseph A. Pieropan, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth.

Patient Story: "Learning To Walk Again"
"I just wasn't feeling well and was popping Tums [antacids] like they were going of style," remembers John Allen of Wardsboro. What John didn't realize was that he had suffered a massive heart attack. John had never had any heart problems, never had high blood pressure. Always reluctant togo to a doctor, John just rested at home. But, two weeks later, he could no longer get out of bed and he couldn't feel his toes.
John's family brought him to Grace Cottage Hospital's Emergency Department. "They saved my life," says John.
Patient Story: "I Want To Walk At Graduation"
Celine Rollins is a sunny, 16-year-old senior at Leland & Gray High School. She loves horseback riding and skiing. Her smile and her giggle are infectious. She simply lights up a room when she enters.

To bring her muscles and joints into alignment, she wears leg braces that extend from below the knee to her foot. She also uses forearm crutches when walking. As Celine explains, "There are a lot of muscles that don't work for me."

At Barcamp Stuttgart last weekend, I gave one of my now-traditional sessions about better presentations. This time, I concentrated on the human brain and how we need to take some of its limitations into consideration for our presentations. Specifically, I talked about the prefrontal cortex and the short-term memory (and visuals).
You've probably heard this before: The human short-term memory can only keep track of a certain amount of things at the same time. Seven is the number usually given. You also hear "Seven plus or minus two" sometimes.
Where does this number come from? As it turns out, it all dates back to a speech that psychologist George A. Miller gave in 1956. The interesting thing is that Miller didn't provide any proof for that number. He was only, in the context of this speech, pointing out that the human short-term memory is limited and speculated that the limit would be somewhere around seven, plus or minus two items.
Only much later, when Alan Baddeley (in the 1990s) and Nelson Cowan (in the early 2000s) did any actual research did it become clear that the "magical" (as Miller had called it) number seven was wrong.
Baddeley and Cowan found that the average human adult can only keep 4 items in short-term memory. And it's even worse - this only works for simple or familiar things. You cannot keep four complex ideas in short-term memory (unless you're already familiar with them); neither can you remember four words in a language that you don't speak or understand.
At this point, a word of clarification seems to be in order: The term "short-term memory" is ambiguous. Scientists prefer the term "working memory" for what we colloquially refer to as the short-term memory. This term better describes what this area of our memory is really used for and avoids confusion with another area that really only keeps one piece of information for a very short time (a few seconds). In the context of this article, I am using both terms synonymously.
Now that this is out of the way: What does this fact have to do with presentations?
For one, it's part of the explanation why slides full of bullet points don't work. We simply cannot keep all the information presented in such a way (usually much more than 4 items) in working memory and therefore have trouble following the speaker's arguments. Plus, due to this "overflow", we have problems remembering - it's just too much information at once.
I've often argued against the (over-)use of bullet points on this site. The rule of thumb is: If you're going to talk about one of your points for more than a few seconds, it gets its own slide ("One idea per slide").
Sometimes, however, you simply have a list of things that belong together. For example that your new mobile phone comes in configurations with 16, 32, and 64 GB of memory. You're probably not going to spend a lot of time explaining these differences and the intention is to give an overview over the available options. Then there's nothing wrong with putting them on one slide together. Even if you don't use any actual bullet points for these items, it's still a list - and there's nothing wrong with that.
However, you have to keep the number 4 in mind! So if you end up with a list of more than 4 items, you should break up that list into smaller pieces, i.e. shorter lists with a maximum of 4 items each. If you have a long list of things, chances are that you can group them and create a hierarchy. Repeat this step until you end up with a top-level list of not more than 4 items. The scientific term for this technique is "chunking".
This is also one of the techniques recommended by Dr. Medina in his book Brain Rules. Hierarchies help people remember things better. To get this effect, you start at the top. Obviously, if you were to start at the bottom, you would risk overwhelming your audience with lots of information (much more than four!) before you even get to the point where they can see the big picture.
This approach will make it easier for your audience to follow your talk and will also help them remember things better.

There are 4 entries for this date: 'Wall of Separation' Phrase Coined , Michel Onfray , Ouida and E.M. Forster
'Wall of Separation' Phrase Coined
On this date in 1802, President Thomas Jefferson coined the famous phrase describing the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment as erecting "a wall of separation between church and state." He used the phrase in his famous letter to the Baptists of Danbury, Connecticut, who had asked him to explain the meaning of the First Amendment's phrase "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."
"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibit the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state."
—Jefferson's letter to the Baptists of Danbury (Jan. 1, 1802)
On this date in 1959, Michel Onfray was born in Argentan in northwest France. He taught philosophy in high school in Caen from 1983 to 2002. During this time he received his doctorate from the University of Caen in 1986. Onfray's first book, Le ventre des philosophes, critique de la raison diététique (The Philosophers' Stomach: A Critique of Dietary Reasoning) was published in 1989.
Onfray has written over 100 published books, which are popular throughout France as well as other parts of Europe, Latin America and even East Asia. However, only one, Traité d'Atheologie (2005) has been published in English: Atheist Manifesto: The Case Against Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
In 2002 he founded the Université Populaire (People's University) in Caen, at which he and others give free lectures on philosophy and other intellectual topics. The main thrust of Onfray's work is atheist, materialist and hedonist. On the [email protected] website affiliated with the Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction, Bruno Dubuc writes: "The French author Michel Onfray may be the philosopher who best represents the hedonist tradition today. In his many works, Onfray attempts to reposition the human body at the centre of our world view. ... Onfray specializes in a certain ancient philosophy that has been buried under 2000 years of Christianity."
In Atheist Manifesto, Onfray makes a strong case for removing all the remnants of Judeo-Christian ideology from our secular culture. Onfray is also a historian of philosophy who loves to point out why many philosophers are undeserving of our respect. He has so far published six volumes in the series La contre histoire de la philosophie (The Counter-History of Philosophy).

"I persist in preferring philosophers to rabbis, priests, imams, ayatollahs, and mullahs. Rather than trust their theological hocus-pocus, I prefer to draw on alternatives to the dominant philosophical historiography: the laughers, materialists, radicals, cynics, hedonists, atheists, sensualists, voluptuaries. They know that there is only one world, and that promotion of an afterlife deprives us of the enjoyment and benefit of the only one there is. A genuinely deadly sin."
—Onfray, "Atheist Manifesto" (2005)
Ouida
On this date in 1839, Ouida, a novelist, animal rights activist and freethinker, was born Maria Louisa Ramé in Bury St. Edmunds, England. She derived her pen name Ouida from her own childish pronunciation of Louisa. She rivaled Dickens, Browning and George Eliot for salability on the Continent. She wrote more than 40 novels, as well as short stories, children's books and essays.
A passionate animal lover and rescuer, she owned as many as 30 dogs at once. Ouida's enduring collection of stories, A Dog of Flanders (1872), has been made into a movie five times. Her essay "The Failure of Christianity" was published in 1895 in her nonfiction book Views and Opinions. American author Jack London cited her novel Signa, which he read at age 8, as one of the main reasons for his literary success.
Under Two Flags, one of her most famous novels, described British life in Algeria and sympathized with French colonists and, to some extent, the Arabs. The novel was adapted for the stage and was filmed six times. She never married, and her lavish lifestyle eventually led to penury. She died at age 69 in 1908 from pneumonia in Italy, where she had lived for some time. Friends organized a public subscription in Bury St. Edmunds, where they had a fountain for horses and dogs installed in her name.
"Christianity is a formula: it is nothing more."
—Ouida, "Views and Opinions" (1895)
On this date in 1879, English writer Edward Morgan Forster was born in London to a wealthy family. His architect father died of tuberculosis before his second birthday. He inherited £8,000 in trust (about $1.3 million in 2017 dollars) in 1887 from his great-aunt, which enabled him to support himself by writing after attending Kings College-Cambridge.
Forster, who was gay, wrote all six of his novels while living with his mother in Surrey. They traveled widely together. As a conscientious objector in World War I, he served as a searcher of missing military members for the British Red Cross in Egypt.
His most well-known novels are A Room With a View (1908), Howards End (1910), Maurice (1913-14) and A Passage to India (1924). All four have been made into major motion pictures. A television adaptation of Howards End first aired on the cable network Starz in 2018 and premiered as a four-episode series on "Masterpiece" on PBS in January 2020. He also wrote short stories, travel pieces, scripts, essays, biographies and the libretto for Benjamin Britten's opera "Billy Budd," based on Herman Melville's novel.
In the 1930s and 1940s he worked as a broadcaster on BBC Radio and was associated with the Union of Ethical Societies. Forster called himself a humanist and was president of the Cambridge Humanists from 1959 to his death. He was a vice president of the Ethical Union in the 1950s and a member of the Advisory Council of Humanists UK from its foundation in 1963.
"A humanist has four leading characteristics — curiosity, a free mind, belief in good taste, and belief in the human race," Forster wrote in "George and Gide," an essay in the collection Two Cheers for Democracy (1951).
Forster had a long relationship with Robert Buckingham, a policeman 23 years his junior, with the acquiescence of Buckingham's wife May, who came to accept that her husband was romantically involved with Forster, perhaps influenced by a gift of £10,000. He died of a stroke in June 1970 at the age of 91 at the Buckinghams' home. His ashes, mingled with those of Buckingham, were later scattered in the rose garden of Coventry's crematorium.

"I do not believe in Belief."
"There lies at the back of every creed something terrible and hard for which the worshipper may one day be required to suffer."
—Forster's essay "What I Believe," The Nation magazine (July 21, 1938)

Why should Harry Redknapp risk more sleepless nights?
Why should Harry Redknapp risk more sleepless nights with England?
Since England's World Cup triumph in 1966 no manager has ever been so popular as he was on the day of his appointment
David Lacey
guardian.co.uk, Friday 10 February 2012 13.31 GMT
On Wednesday there was a moment during the Fabio Capello business when one half-expected Monty Python's army officer to march in shouting: "Stop that! It's silly." For some time the Ministry of Silly Walks has, by comparison with the Football Association, acquired the gravitas of the Department of the Environment but now there may be something completely different. No harm in hoping anyway.
At least David Bernstein's chairmanship of the FA has shown welcome signs of the smack of firm government rather than the wagging fingers of endless sub-committees. Nevertheless the uncomfortable fact is that another England manager has left the job for reasons which have nothing to do with results, again posing the question of why on earth anyone would want to take it.
In club football managers almost always go because their teams keep losing matches. There have been notable exceptions – Manchester United sacking Tommy Docherty because he had an affair with a colleague's wife and George Graham leaving Arsenal for taking a bung – but generally they stand or fall by results.
England managers, on the other hand, can get their marching orders on the basis of unfavourable headlines bearing only the flimsiest of connections to the business of winning games. Capello resigned because not only had he committed that most cardinal of sins, embarrassing the FA, he had done so in Italian.
The John Terry affair, which had brought all this about, is the footballing equivalent of the cautionary tale of the horseshoe nail. Had the Chelsea captain's alleged bad-mouthing of Queens Park Rangers' Anton Ferdinand last October been confined to the two obscenities which flanked the emotive word "black" nothing more would have been heard about it.
As it is one alleged word out of place set off a chain of events which has left England without both a manager and a captain with a European Championship imminent.
Capello could have avoided all the bother had he not handed the armband back to Terry, having demoted him following allegations of a fling with the left-back Wayne Bridge's former girlfriend.
The fact that Capello quit a few hours after the Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp was acquitted of tax evasion has appeared almost too convenient to be true. It seems that if Redknapp wants the England job he can have it but why, having seen what he described as a five-year nightmare ended by the jury's verdict at Southwark crown court, should he risk more sleepless nights by taking on a task which had a previous incumbent, Graham Taylor, waking up to find his pyjamas soaked in sweat?
Redknapp will be all too aware of the aggro which goes with running the national team. Since Alf Ramsey's side won the World Cup in 1966 no England manager has ever been so popular as he was on the day of his appointment. Bobby Robson and Terry Venables came close to reversing the trend when their sides reached the semi-finals in Italia 90 and Euro 96 respectively but both knew they would be leaving the job after England's last game.
Robson had already been told by the FA chairman, Bert Millichip, that unless England won the World Cup his contract would not be renewed, lurid newspaper reports about his private life having got up the FA's nose, and Venables announced early in 1996 that he would go after the tournament to concentrate on legal matters.
Glenn Hoddle, arguably England's most promising manager since Ramsey, went in 1999 after being reported as holding the bizarre view that disabled people were being punished for sins in a former life. Bringing in a faith healer, Eileen Drewery, to help the squad had not helped his credibility although Robson had employed someone similar, Olga Stringfellow, to get Bryan Robson fit in 1990, not to much avail.
Surely Redknapp will wait to see if Tottenham qualify for the Champions League before making any decision. That would be no bed of roses but it would be a more inviting challenge than England's bed of nails.
Meanwhile those who feel that any delay in finding Capello's successor will damage England's chances of winning the 2012 European Championship can comfort themselves by studying the country's wretched record in this tournament, which suggests that whoever is in charge the team has more hope of winning the Eurovision Song Contest. Perhaps the root of England's problems lies in this continued lack of success on the field compared to which the off-field stuff makes much better headlines.

Phoneweek > Social media > Pep Guardiola has improved from studying 'creative' Thomas Tuchel
Pep Guardiola has improved from studying 'creative' Thomas Tuchel
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes he has become a better manager from watching his Chelsea counterpart Thomas Tuchel
Having won 31 trophies in his glittering career, former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola is one of the preeminent managers of his generation but Tuchel famously got the better of him in last season's Champions League final.
Guardiola, 50, feels he can learn much from studying the way the 48-year-old German operates.
The Spaniard said: "He is so creative, one of the few managers I learn from to become a better manager myself. He is excellent in all departments.
"Since he was at Mainz, Borussia Dortmund and here, I have always enjoyed watching his teams, the way he is playing and his approach.
"I think he dignifies and makes world football better. When you find a manager that is always positive in the way they play it is good."
Guardiola comes up against Tuchel's Chelsea side again in a top-of-the-table Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Champions City can extend their lead over their closest challengers to 13 points with victory in the lunchtime fixture.
City produced an outstanding performance to win 1-0 when the sides met at Stamford Bridge in September but Guardiola expects a different contest this time around.
Guardiola, who will return to bench after missing last week's FA Cup win at Swindon following a positive Covid-19 test, said: "It was months ago. Every game is completely different.
"The performance was really good, we minimised the champions of Europe when they had all players fit and there.

"It was really exceptional, but in that moment we were below them. We had to get points.
"Our commitment with and without the ball was exceptional. We won with a short margin and we could have scored much more goals.
"The victory was nice but tomorrow will be completely different. They will change the approach, like the Chelsea manager said. They know they have to get points to be still there."
City were also without seven senior players at Swindon due to the impact of a recent coronavirus outbreak at the club. Some will be available to return but others have since tested positive and have been withdrawn. The club have not revealed who has been affected.
Despite the outbreak, City are still in a strong position with their form having remained impressive, and postponements avoided, throughout the recent wave of infections.
Guardiola, however, has detected a drop-off in the level of performance.
He said: "The last two games were not the best games we've played. Football is a constant evolution. There are periods that you are playing good and the key is to sustain that as long as possible.
"That is what we have to do but there are tests ahead of us. They are champions of Europe, an excellent team in all departments.
"It is another test, another game to try to win, to make three points and come back in our best way."

When you create a novel, one of the settings you choose is whether you'll be writing on the YWP site or whether you'll be writing somewhere else and updating your word count manually. If you're writing on site, just type in the writing space to update your count. If you're writing somewhere else, just enter your word count where it says "Update Total Word Count" in the novel box. You can always change these settings by clicking on the wrench at the top of the novel box and choosing a different option.
I'm typing in the writing space but my word-count isn't updating. What should I do?
Be sure you're writing a chapter, not a note. Notes have striped lines through their titles and don't count towards your word-count. Open up the note settings by clicking the wrench next to the note title, then change that note to a chapter.
Be sure you selected the option that said you were going to write on the YWP, not the option that said you would type somewhere else and update your word count manually. To check or change your setting, click the wrench at the top of the novel box to open up the novel settings.
How do I win NaNoWriMo? What happens when I reach my word-count goal?
To "win" NaNoWriMo, you have to reach your word-count goal by 11:59 PM on the last day of the challenge, either by manually entering your total word count where it says "Update Total Word Count" in your novel box, or by typing enough words into the writing space (depending on which preference you set).
For official event challenges, when you win, you'll be taken to your winner page, where you can watch the winner video and download some swag.
Can I keep writing and adding to my word count even after I've won?
You can keep writing and adding to your word count forever! Your badges and stats will only update through 11:59 PM on the last day of the challenge, though.
What if I hit my word-count goal but I'm only halfway through my story?
That's great, woohoo for you! If you have more time in the month, consider making your word-count goal a little higher and trying to reach it again. If you don't want to change your goal but want to finish your story, just keep working on it throughout the year until you feel like it's done.
Are there judges? Does someone read my story?
There are no judges, and no one reads your story unless you show it to them.
There are many ways to print your book. We've partnered with Blurb, a self-publishing platform, to offer an easy, cheap pathway to book printing. Learn more details here.

Although most jobs come with risks, some will be more dangerous than others. Miners, lumberjacks, and utility lineman are at the top of the list of dangerous jobs. Another is working offshore. There are many hazards in this line of work including head injuries, amputations, burns, and back and spinal cord injuries. What do you need to know if you are injured while working offshore?
Of course, the first thing you should do if you are injured is to seek medical attention. Even if you think the injury is not that bad, you should be checked out as quickly as possible. Sometimes symptoms of serious injury do not appear for hours or days. Once you return home, go to your doctor and get another examination. Doctors employed by the same company you work for may have more of an allegiance to the company than they do to you.
Make certain your accident is reported to your supervisor. A report should be filed. If you are in doubt, write your own report of the incident, and make a copy to keep. The report should have all the details including the date and time as well as the location of the accident. Include the names of coworkers and others that were present at the time of the accident. If there were contributing factors that you believe were responsible for the accident, include them. List the equipment or tools that you were using when the accident occurred. Don't forget to include your injuries and treatment in the report.
One of the most important things you can do if you are injured while working offshore is to take steps to protect yourself. This includes not signing anything until you have read it, including the small print. If you do not understand what you are reading, you should seek legal advice to ensure you are not signing away your rights. In addition to not signing anything, you should not discuss the accident with anyone including coworkers. You may be surprised at how a skilled attorney can manipulate your words to use them against you.
When you are injured and unable to work, it may be in your best interests to talk to a lawyer experienced in dealing with these types of injuries. This is why firms such as Simon & O'Rourke Law Firm, P.C. provide a Maritime injury lawyer.
There are certain rights available to crew members working offshore. A lawyer can advise you on the federal laws such as The Jones Act that protects offshore workers. When you are injured, the medical bills, lost wages and emotional toll can be a lot to handle.
Does Your Business Need Professional Commercial Solicitors?
Commercial solicitors offer advice to governments and companies regarding business issues. The practice covers a wide range of work, and commercial law companies are also divided into various departments referred to as practice areas. In the departments, legal experts specialise in a certain type of work. They can be contentious legal experts who help clients resolve disputes or transactional solicitors who draw up legal documents and review them for the clients.
Why Your Business Needs Professional Commercial Solicitors?
With the rate at which the business world is expanding, it has become very difficult for businessmen to manage all tasks required to run a business, including planning and legal requirements. Many people are finding it hard to run a business that complies with all the set legal regulations without external help. It is, therefore important for any business to hire the services of a commercial solicitor to help with the running of things effectively. Regardless of whether you have a startup or established business, small or large, a business solicitor is an integral part of the existence and growth of your organization.
A business solicitor will offer you an abundance of legal services to your firm. The solicitor's role is essential from the time you start the operations of the organisation. So, if you think that you will only need a business solicitor when you get into legal problems, you are very mistaken. Waiting until you have been served with a court summon will only help you lower the penalty if you are guilty of whatever you have been charged with. However, having a solicitor all along will ensure that you are running your business lawfully and meeting all the set requirements and regulations.

J Health Polit Policy Law (1986) 11 (2): 255-269.
In the early 1980s, the leadership of the antiabortion movement became involved in a campaign to establish legal rights to extraordinary medical care for seriously handicapped newborns. Armed with political contacts in the Reagan administration and Congress, and allied with advocates for the disabled, the antiabortion movement searched for a test case to guide through the courts. Antiabortion advocate Lawrence Washburn found such a case in Baby Jane Doe, who was being treated at Stony Brook Medical Center. The movement went on to amend the Child Abuse Act to include protections for handicapped newborns. Activists in the movement chose the issue of Baby Jane Doe because they believed it would attract welcome publicity, give them the appearance of supporting civil rights, and enhance their argument as to the legal rights of the fetus and thus strengthen the case against abortion. The movement was partially successful in obtaining its goals.

Week Adjourned: 5.1.15 – Tinder, Hertz, Actos
Tinder's igniting a wee litigation storm it seems. The company behind the popular dating app of the same name, has been hit with another class action lawsuit filed by a customer who alleges the app charges men and users over the age of 30 more to use its premium service, and is therefore discriminating on the basis of age and gender. Isn't that just good business? You use more, you pay more? No?
Maybe not. Filed in California federal court, by Plaintiff Michael Manapol, this Tinder lawsuit contends that Manapol paid $19.99 for a one-month subscription to the service, while Tinder charged $9.99 for those under 30. He also alleges he was charged recurring, automatic renewal fees, in violation of California law, and that his account was illegally debited, without his authorization.
"Defendant offers no discounts for its Tinder Plus services, than that offered to consumers based solely upon their age. However, [women] receive more favorable swiping terms than man, which is akin to free entrance to Ladies Night, a practice deemed illegal by the California Supreme Court," the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit also alleges Tinder falsely advertised its service by claiming to be "free." One Billy Warner filed a lawsuit over the free or not-so-free Tinder advertising back in March.
The Manapol lawsuit seeks to establish a nationwide class of people who downloaded the Tinder app before March 2, 2015. In addition, four subclasses are proposed, specifically: an auto-renewal subclass; a price discrimination subclass; a gender discrimination subclass; and an Electronic Funds Transfer Act subclass.
The complaint cites an interview with Tinder spokeswoman's on National Public Radio, in which she allegedly said, "During our testing we've learned, not surprisingly, that younger users are just as excited about Tinder Plus but are more budget constrained and need a lower price to pull the trigger."
FYI…The case is Michael Manapol et al. v. Tinder Inc. et al., case number 2:15-cv-03175, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
Hertz employees being taken for a ride? The Hertz Corp is facing a potential $4 million unpaid wages and overtime class action alleging the company doesn't pay its employees for working through breaks, and fails to pay them overtime wages.
No stranger to employment lawsuits, this one, alleges that the vehicle rental chain systematically underpaid its customer service representatives in various ways, in violation of the California labor law. The Hertz overtime lawsuit was filed by Plaintiff Juan Herrera on behalf of himself and all other non-overtime exempt California Hertz employees for the previous four years.
"Defendants knew they had a duty to accurately compensate plaintiff and class members for all hours worked, including overtime wages and meal and rest period premiums, and that defendants had the financial ability to pay such compensation, but willfully, knowingly, recklessly and/or intentionally failed to do so," Herrera states.
Specifically, the complaint states that Hertz fails to provide meal and rest periods for its employees by structuring its schedules, policies and workload requirements to not allow the workers their full meal and rest breaks. The company then fails to properly compensate them for the loss.
Additionally, Herrera alleges that Hertz requires its customer service representatives to prepare for their shifts without pay and failing to factor commissions into the employees' regular rate of pay when calculating overtime pay rates.
That lawsuit also seeks to represent non-overtime exempt employees in California, which Hertz estimates amounts to as many as 2,000 former employees and as much as $11.5 million in alleged damages.
The case is Juan Herrera, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. The Hertz Corp. et al., case number BC579320, in the Superior Court of the State of California County of Los Angeles.
This is a biggie—to the tune of $2.4 billion… That's the sum agreed to in a settlement between Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. and some 9,000 plaintiffs who filed personal injury lawsuits against the company, alleging it failed to warn of bladder cancer risks from taking its Type 2 diabetes drug Actos (pioglitazone hydrochloride).
Under the terms of the agreement, Takeda will establish a fund of between $2.37 billion and $2.4 billion, depending on how many Actos litigants opt into the settlement.
Over 4,000 cases are included in this agreement, and were coordinated in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, as well as lawsuits filed by about 4,000 people in Cook County, IL, according to lawyers for the plaintiffs.
While Takeda denies any wrongdoing in this agreement, the settlement will recover some compensation for the victims who have been injured and, in some cases, maimed by bladder cancer while taking Actos.
Hokee Dokee—That's a wrap folks…See you at the Bar!
