We are head over heels in love with this trend we are not only seeing more and more of but also seems to be a new classic. It's easy to work with, adds punch to any space yet is gentle enough to not be offensive. And why stop in your home? It's a lovable color no matter where you look.
Fun to experiment with on your own, the neon green the indigo is before the air oxidizes it into the blue is exciting to watch.
When I go into the house of a new client and see wallpaper in a space larger than a coat closet, my immediate reaction is to take it down. I understand that their wallpaper may be very expensive or brand new or incredibly tasteful. I may even love the wallpaper so much that I want to put it all over my house. But this isn't about what I like or the client's tastes. This is about what the buyer sees and wallpaper can be an instant road block in the way of a contract.
Think of wallpaper as furniture. Often very distracting furniture. People may tell you how much they love it and ooh and ahh all over. Buyers may even do the same. But even buyers who love your wallpaper will often (and I say often because I see this happen over and over again) be unable to envision themselves in the house. The wallpaper is automatically associated with the current owners and therefore not for buyers to have; in their subconscious minds. Plus, they may become so enamored by the wallpaper that they fail to fully notice the incredible view that is just beyond the wallpapered wall.
There are few exceptions to this rule. Again, anything smaller than a coat closet might be alright. Also, it does depend on the paper, such as the powder room to the right. It is far more neutral than the paper on the left, and much easier for buyers to envision their things in that powder room. But please keep in mind, this is a powder room, which is not much larger than a coat closet.
So in case the message wasn't clear enough already, if you are motivated to sell your house, remove the wallpaper.
Have a happy Labor Day Weekend!

One trend we've been noticing lately here at AWG is the influence of the outside on the indoors. Any time a natural object - living or not - is brought inside, it has a way of softening the space; transforming a house into a habitat. And the best part about these elements is that they work in absolutely any space, regardless of architectural style or interior design.
There are many ways that natural elements in the home are obviously here stay, the most common being house plants, or marble counter tops and wooden furniture. But because we are talking trends, let's take a look at some other forms of nature on a small scale that compliment any home or style.

Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Yoshitomo Nara. This will be the artist's second solo show in New York.
The exhibition, titled "Saucer Tales", contains 12 paintings made on saucer- shaped, wall mounted fiberglass structures. The fiberglass surfaces are covered with a patchwork of small pieces of canvas. He will also exhibit one new sculpture and a new series of etchings. In all these works, Nara continues with the subject matter he is well known for – devilishly sweet and menacing children.
Concurrently at Kennedy Boesky Photographs, a selection of Nara's recent photographs will be on view. In them we see the actual children, animals and places he encounters. His photographs stand on their own as an independent body of work. They have a snap shot quality, often blurry and seemingly spontaneous, yet also perfectly composed. These photographs offer an opportunity to see through his eyes and glimpse the complex experience of childhood that infuses his paintings.
Nara recently was treated to a major survey exhibition that traveled to five Japanese museums organized by the Yokohama Museum of Art. His work will be included in the concurrent exhibition "Drawing Now: Eight Perspectives" at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Opening in September 2003, Nara will have his first US touring survey. This exhibition is being organized by the Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art and will travel to the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia and The Contemporary Museum, St. Louis.

Number of Solicitors on the bench down by 56
By Mondipa Fouzder >> Solicitors are still struggling to get on the bench, with numbers falling over the past year, according to the latest judicial diversity statistics. Figures published by the Courts and Tribunals Judiciary today show that solicitors accounted for 1,098 judges as at 1 April – compared with 1,154 last year.
Nearly eight in 10 solicitors are district judges sitting in the county court. Only one solicitor is a High Court judge. The population of barrister judges is 2,090, of which 105 sit in the High Court.
Although overall figures suggest that the proportion of female, and black and minority ethnic judges will increase over time, the numbers show only small progress.
The number of female Court of Appeal judges remains the same as last year, at eight out of 39. In the High Court, 22 of 106 judges are women, compared with 21 last year.
The number of female circuit judges has increased from 146 last year to 160 this year.
Women account for 51% of the 85 courts judges under the age of 40, compared with 53% last year. However, 64% of tribunal judges under the age of 40 are women, compared to 56% last year.
The percentage of court judges who identify as black, Asian and minority ethnic is 5% – one percentage point down on last year. The figure remains stable, at 9%, in tribunals.
The proportion of BAME judges under the age of 40 is 8% in courts, compared with 6% last year; and 14% in tribunals, compared to 15% last year.
Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, the lord chief justice, said the increase in the overall percentage of female judges was encouraging. An increase in the percentage of BAME judges under the age of 50 also 'provides some encouragement for the future', he added.
'However, we are disappointed that there has been no improvement in either courts of tribunals in the total percentage of judges from a BAME background. This is an area of concern and one where the [Judicial Diversity Committee of the Judges' Council] will be considering what more needs to be done.'
A progress report from the committee shows that a judicial work shadowing scheme, set up in 1999, is particularly popular among solicitors, with district judge (civil) being the most popular role to shadow.
Other intiatives include networking events, a judicial role models scheme and a pilot support programme to provide a new route to the High Court.
Court of Appeal judge Lady Justice Hallett, in an introduction to the report, said the judiciary had long been engaged in activities designed to improve diversity but the establishment of the diversity committee by Lord Thomas 'has provided an increased focus for our work'.

A Truck Reportedly Driven by a Prison Guard Drove Into a Group of ICE Protesters

Some were sitting cross legged on the floor; others stood and held signs. Together, the protesters blocked off the entrance to the parking lot of a prison that works with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As they chanted on Wednesday night, a black pickup truck drove toward them. When the protesters rose and yelled at the driver, who was honking, the car briefly stopped. Then, it continued to drive into the Wyatt Detention Facility parking lot, striking several people. A few ended up at a hospital.
BREAKING: Here is HD video of an ICE guard driving his truck into us as we sat peacefully blocking the Wyatt Detention Center.

Protesters say the driver was a correctional officer at the Central Falls, Rhode Island private prison, and officers at the scene of the protest, didn't step in, according to The Washington Post. Guards then pepper-sprayed protesters and the driver then reportedly entered the prison.
CW: Pepper spray
Health update: 5 people hospitalized, 3 for severe pepper spray exposure, 2 after being hit by the truck. Thankful the injuries were not life-threatening.

Some of the protesters belong to Never Again Action, a Jewish activist group, but there were others from Fang Collective, Progresso Latino Rhode Island, Alliance to Mobilize Our Resistance and Fuerza Laboral. For the activists, it was a confusing and frightening moment.
"It was terrifying because we didn't know what exactly his intention was," Amy Anthony, a spokesman for Never Again Action, told The Washington Post. "It certainly appeared he was trying to hit us."
While this may have influenced some to stop protesting, Anthony said this horrible moment makes it clear that they need to continue their work. "If this is the way this correction officer is behaving in public when people are recording," she said, "it's not hard to imagine the behavior is much worse behind the walls in the facility where no one can see what is happening."

Post Malone's "Beerbongs & Bentleys" Sets Record On R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Charts
Jun 9 2018 10:09 pm By Milca P.
Post Malone sets a new record on the charts.
Post Malone's Beerbongs & Bentleys sophomore outing has spent its fifth week at the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, becoming the first album since 2014 to spend at least five weeks at the top.
The last person to hold the title was Beyoncé with 2013's internet-breaking self-titled LP, spending eight weeks at No. 1 from December 2013 to February 2014. The real accomplishment comes as Posty becomes the first male artist to spend five weeks at No. 1 since Eminem's The Eminem Show spent its first five frames 15 years ago in 2002. That September it would grab the No. 1 slot once again.
Beerbongs can attribute much of its success to the onset of streaming in 2018, breaking the one-week streaming record in the United States within its first seven days after it garnered 431.3 million on-demand audio streams.
Six tracks on the effort have already touched the top 10 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart; including No. 1 single "Rockstar" which occupied the penthouse for 14 weeks. Right now, the Ty Dolla $ign-assisted "Psycho" is at No. 2 both on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart and the coveted Billboard Hot 100. Within the last 14 weeks, Psycho has not left the top five on either chart.
At the moment, Post Malone's debut Stoney album is sitting at No. 8 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, tallying up 70 weeks in the top ten as it slowly creeps up on the record of 76 weeks currently held by Michael Jackson's Thriller.

Benedict van Haeften
(Haeftenus).
Benedictine writer, provost of the Monastery of Afflighem, Belgium ; born at Utrecht, 1588; died 31 July 1648, at Spa, Belgium, whither he had gone to recover his health. After studying philosophy and theology at Louvain, he entered the Benedictine Abbey of Afflighem in 1609, took solemn vows on 14 May, 1611, and was ordained priest in 1613. Hereupon he returned to Louvain to continue his theological studies, but has recalled to his monastery when he was about to receive the licentiate in theology. In 1616 he became prior, and in 1618 Matthias Hovius, Archbishop of Mechlin, who wasat the same time Abbot of Afflighem, appointed him provost of his monastery. Afflighem at the time belonged to the Bursfeld Union, and under the prudent direction of the pious van Haeften was in a flourishing spiritualand temporal condition. Jacob Boonen, who had succeeded Hovious as archbishop and abbot in 1620, desired to join the monastery to the new Congregation of St. Vannes, in Lorraine, which had a stricter constitution than Bursfeld. After some prudent hesitation, van Haeften agreed to the change, and on 18 October, 1627, began his novitiate under the direction under the direction of a monk of the Congregation of Lorraine. Together with eight of his monks, he made confession according to the new reform on 25 October, 1628, and founded the Belgian Congregation of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin. The new reform enjoined perpetual abstinence, daily rising at two o'clock in the morning, and manual labour joined with study.Unhappily the new congregation was of short duration. The intrusion uponthe rights of the monks by the Archbishop of Mechlin brought about its dissolution in 1654.
Van Haeften is the author of a learned and painstaking work of monastic researches n the life and rule of St. Benedict , entitled: "S. Benedictus illustratus, sive Disquisitionsum monasticarum libri XII, quibus S.P. Benedicti Regula et religiosorum rituum antiquitates varie dilucidantur" (Antwerp, 1644). The other six works of van Haeften that found their way intoprint are of an ascetical character.

Growing up in Louisiana, I did not appreciate the wetsuit until I moved to Malibu for those mild winter months later in life (age 27 to be exact). I thought everyone looked the same in the black wetsuits; all of us going out there to tempt the sharks with our seal like resemblance. Then just recently, I noticed the beauty of hand-crafted, visually stimulating wetsuits coming out of Hawaii and I knew I wanted to incorporate these wetsuits into future travel pieces. I wanted to experience them for myself and wanted to share with my travel crew as well.
Let my fondness for Hawaii be known and my appreciation for this new breed of wetsuits. One of a kind pieces designed for girls and women, eco-friendly materials, and geared for warm seasons...female-founded and Hawaii-based Sirensong Wetsuits brings a fresh new vision.
So when the box arrived filled with Sirensong Wetsuits, it was as if Santa Clause really did exist and he was living in Hawaii during his down time. Growing up in a family of painters, I appreciate art and Sirensong Wetsuits are individual masterpieces. You can almost feel the unique paint strokes that have gone in to each design.
Landing in Turks & Caicos just a short time after Sports Illustrated departed from the island, I knew some stunning visuals were to be had. The wetsuits stood their own with the stunning Caribbean background with colors so vibrant; the beauty is almost blinding. Check out my photos for the photo shoot for Delta Style Magazine (May, 2016 issue) featuring my recent travel piece on Turks & Caicos! In and out of the water, the suits came in handy for ATV riding on the beach and kayaking around the island. My crew was very appreciative.
It was a successful trip and Sirensong Wetsuits played a big part in it. Next stops– California Coast and then back to Hawaii, North Shore bound again, to do a story on Turtle Bay Resort (and meet up with Jamie from Sirensong).
I am excited and grateful to bring along Sirensong Wetsuits as I continue to share travel stories and visuals. Excited to watch Sirensong Wetsuits; this female entrepreneur artist dominate the female wetsuit market with her new breed of wetsuits.

Kangana Ranaut to play dancer in Rajnikanth's 2005 sequel Chandramukhi
IND vs NZ: Twitter hails Washington Sundar's all-round performance in 1st T20I, Black Caps defeat India by 21 runs
Helmed by P. Vasu and bankrolled by Lyca Films, Chandramukhi 2 is slated to hit theaters in April 2023.
Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut will be portraying a role of a dancer in Chandramukhi 2. The film will be the sequel to the 2005 film Chandramukhi starring Rajnikanth and Jyothika Saravanan.
Kangana will be essaying the role of Chandramukhi, a renowned dancer in a king's court who is famous for both her dancing prowess and her spectacular beauty. She will be seen opposite Tamil actor Raghava Lawrence.

The sketch of Kangana Ranaut's character from the film, shared by costume designer Neeta Lulla, was the cherry on top. Neeta Lulla said to her that the character of Chandramukhi is the epitome of grace in every Adaa. Her looks, her hair, her stance, and her walk exude and portray the spirit of dance, she added.

On working with Kangana Ranaut, Lulla said that she is very excited to be working again with Kangana on this project and that her sheer strength as an actor lies in her ability to lose herself in the character she is playing. Can't wait to see what amalgamates in Chandramukhi 2, she added.
According to the reports, Kangana, who is currently shooting for Emergency, will start shooting the first schedule of Chandramukhi 2 in the first week of December. The actor will be taking a small break from Emergency, and the second schedule of Chandramukhi 2 will begin in January after Emergency wraps.
The reports state that Kangana is thrilled to do her next Tamil film after the huge acceptance of Thalaivii and looking forward to this very cinematic character.
Apart from Emergency where she is playing the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, her upcoming films include Chandramukhi 2 and Noti Binodini. She will also be seen in Tejas where she will be playing the role of an air force pilot.

The worldwide collection of the film had crossed 300 crores in just three days
Shah Rukh Khan's film Pathaan is roaring at the world box office. Where there was a decline in the collection of the film in India on the third day, now there has been a rise in the collection of Pathaan on the weekend i.e. on the fourth day of its release. Meanwhile, the film has become the first film to join the club of 200 crores at the earliest. With this Pathaan has now left Bahubali 2 and KGF 2 behind in the race.
Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand, seems to be creating a ruckus at the box office on Saturday. As per the early trends, the action packed Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham starrer thriller has earned in the range of Rs 54 crore on its fourth day. While its total collection in India has crossed 200 in India.
Talking about the full earnings after the release of Pathan in India, on January 25, the film had earned Rs 56.75 crores in All India. 68 crores all over India on the second day. Whereas on the third day only Rs 38.75 crore was earned. On the other hand, after the fall of the third day, there has been a jump on the weekend i.e. on the fourth day and the film has earned Rs 54.50 crore in All India. It is worth noting that the film has grossed Rs 221.25 crore in India, due to which the film has left Bahubali 2 and KGF 2 far behind.
Shah Rukh Khan's return to the silver screen after four years, which was not only being discussed in India but in the world has created storm at the box office. Not only this, the worldwide collection of the film had crossed 300 crores in just three days and latest trends show that the film has collected 400 crores on Saturday.
Vani and Bhumi remained the topic of discussion throughout the event.
Stardust has completed 50 years in the industry. An event was organized on this occasion, in which B-Town celebs made a splash. Photos and videos of the red carpet are going viral on social media, where Bollywood actors made glam appearances. But the most talked about look was of actor Bhumi Pednekar's, who flaunted her abs in a cutout gown.
Many Bollywood stars including Karthik Aryan, Anupam Kher, Sonu Sood, Raveena Tandon, Rekha graced the Stardust red carpet. While Vaani Kapoor looked stylish in a metallic gown, Bhumi Pednekar grabbed everyone's attention in an emerald green gown. Bhumi's look was the most discussed, in which she was seen flaunting her abs with dark eyes, nude lips and tied hair. Bhumi's toned figure garnered a lot of applause from the people.
Apart from this, Raveena Tandon and Rekha were seen taking selfies together on the red carpet. Raveena wore a silver and black color dress, while Rekha looked very beautiful in a black, golden color saree with a gajra. Along with this, a small purse of black and golden color was also seen in Rekha's hand.
At the same time, many stars including Shreya Siran, Nimrat Kaur, Sanya Malhotra, Tisca Chopra, Nargis Fakri, Manoj Bajpayee, Madhur Bhandarkar, Anil Kapoor, Manish Paus, Aayush Sharma were seen at the Stardust red carpet.
Vani and Bhumi remained the topic of discussion throughout the event. For the unversed, Bhumi Pednekar has done very challenging roles in her career so far. His performance in Bala, Toilet Ek Prem Katha, Raksha Bandhan and Govinda Mera Naam was highly appreciated. Apart from this, she is working hard for her upcoming films. She will also be seen adding spice to her acting line up with films like Afwah, Bheed and Bhakshak.
Rakhi Sawant did a live chat with her mother on January 9 in which she said that her mother Jaya has brain tumour and cancer
Rakhi Sawant's mother Jaya passed away yesterday i.e. on January 28. She was admitted to Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital in Mumbai for a long time. Rakhi's mother was battling cancer and brain tumour. Jaya's demise was confirmed yesterday by the actor and her close friends. Rakhi Sawant was with her mother in her last moments. She was seen carrying her mother's body outside the hospital. During this, she looked completely unconscious.
Remembering her mother, Rakhi, on her social media wrote that today her mother's hand has been lifted off her head, now she has nothing left to lose. Today Rakhi's mother will be cremated in Mumbai.
Rakhi shared a video of the hospital with her mother, remembering her. Rakhi wrote that she loves her mother and that she was nothing without her. "Now who will listen to my call, who will hug me," she says. Rakhi Sawant did a live chat with her mother on January 9 in which she was seen crying. During this, she said that her mother Jaya has brain tumour and cancer and because of this she is admitted in the hospital. She also appealed to the people to pray for her mother.
Salman Khan came forward to help in 2021
Notably, in April 2021, Rakhi's mother had undergone surgery to remove a tumour from the gallbladder, which later turned out to be cancer. During that time Salman Khan and his brother Sohail Khan came forward to help Rakhi. Rakhi thanked Salman and Sohail Khan after her mother's recovery.
Apart from this, a few days back, Rakhi shared a video in which she said that Mukesh Ambani has helped for the treatment of her mother. She said that she wanted to thank Ambaniji. Ambani ji is helping in the treatment of her mother. He has reduced the fees charged in the hospital.
Celebs express condolences
Jackie Shroff, Rashmi Desai, Manyata Dutt, Nisha Rawal, Riddhima Pandit and Ali Goni expressed their condolences on the demise of Rakhi's mother, as well as consoled Rakhi in this difficult situation.

Q: Why does raising cos to 0.1 power expand the graph like this? I am trying to intuitively understand why the polar equation $r=(\cos(\theta))^{0.1}$ has the following shape compared to the circular $r=\cos(\theta)$. I see that the figure should have a greater area, as the values of $\cos$ between $1$ and $0$ will be increased when being raised to powers less than one. However, as to why the graph possesses the following curvature, I am at a loss to understand from the perspective of the qualities of a root function. I have tried so far thinking of the rate at which $x^{0.1}$ increases. I would appreciate an explanation as to why the shape is like this.
Thanks

A: I think that we can perceive what is going on considering the more general case of
$$f_n(x)=\sqrt[n]{\cos (x)} \qquad \text{for}\qquad -\frac \pi 2 \leq x \leq \frac \pi 2$$
Built around $x=0$, its series expansion is
$$f_n(x)=1-\frac{1}{2 n}x^2+\frac{3-2 n }{24 n^2}x^4-\frac{16 n^2-30 n+15 }{720n^3 }x^6-$$ $$\frac{272 n^3-588 n^2+420 n-105 }{40320 n^4 }x^8+O(x^{10})$$ which reproduces quite well the function except around the bounds.
The second derivative being $\frac {-1}n$ at $x=0$ explains the tightening of the curve.
Similarly
$$A_n=\int_{-\frac \pi 2}^{\frac \pi 2} \sqrt[n]{\cos (x)}\, dx=\sqrt{\pi } \,\frac{\Gamma \left(\frac{n+1}{2 n}\right)}{\Gamma
   \left(\frac{2 n+1}{2 n}\right)}$$ increases from $2$ (for $n=1$) up to $\pi^-$ if $n\to \infty$ (is the circle coming ?).
Asymptotically
$$A_n=\pi \left(1-\frac{\log (2)}{n}+\frac{\pi ^2+3 \log ^2(4)}{24
   n^2}+O\left(\frac{1}{n^3}\right)\right)$$

A: When we have $0 \le x \le 1$ , we will have $0 \le x^{n} \le 1$ when $n$ is Positive Integer.
More-over , we will have $0 \le x^{1/n} \le 1$ when $n$ is Positive Integer.
When $n \rightarrow \infty$ , $x^{n} \rightarrow 0$
Eg $(0.2)^{2}=0.04$ , $(0.2)^{3}=0.008$ , $(0.2)^{4}=0.0016$ , $(0.2)^{5}=0.00032$ , $(0.2)^{6}=0.000064$ .... $(0.2)^{13}=0.0000000008192$ ....
It is going closer to $0$ with increasing Power.
When $n \rightarrow \infty$ , $x^{1/n} = \sqrt[n]{x} \rightarrow 1$ (Inverse Case)
Eg $(0.2)^{1/2}=\sqrt{(0.2)}=0.447$ , $(0.2)^{1/3}=\sqrt{\sqrt{(0.2)}}=0.5848$ , $(0.2)^{1/4}0.66874$ , $(0.2)^{1/5}=0.72$ , $(0.2)^{1/6}=0.76$ , .... $(0.2)^{1/64}=0.975$ ....
We can keep taking $\sqrt{....}$ to keep going closer to $1$.
In your Case , $0 \le |\cos(\theta)| \le 1$
Hence Power $(0.1)$ is Power $(1/10)$ which is taking $\sqrt[10]{....}$
The value will go closer to $1$.
Change the Power $(0.1)$ to Power $10$ & the value will go closer to $0$.
The EndPoint values will be $0$ & $1$ , everything else will move closer to either $0$ ( Power $[n]$ ) or $1$ ( Power $[1/n]$ )

Plot here shows 3 Curves ( generated by wolfram alpha & overlaid on each other & then altered a little ) : $A=\cos(\theta)$ (centre) , $B=\cos^{0.1}(\theta)$ (outer) , $C=\cos^{10}(\theta)$ (inner)
Each Curve has the Same EndPoint values ($0$ & $1$) , while the intermediate values are between these two.
Take 2 Example Points on $A$ , where the green lines intersect. With Power $10$ , the Corresponding Points (at that $\theta$ value) will go towards $0$ , hence get smaller. With Power $0.1$ , the Corresponding Points (at that $\theta$ value) will go towards $1$ , hence get larger.
Crux of the Intuition : This shift towards $1$ or $0$ will occur all over the Curve $A$ at all $\theta$ values ! Yet , the EndPoint values must be Same ! Hence the Curve $B$ going near $1$ will have to twist back to $0$ ! This is what you are seeing !
Curve $C$ has the Same in Inverse : It starts at $1$ , yet it has to quickly go towards $0$.
Change the Powers to $100$ & $0.01$ [ then to $1000$ & $0.001$ , then to $10000$ & $0.0001$ ] to see this more sharply.

Neuropsych — January 23, 2022
A brief history of personality tests: from creepy images to probing questions
The first personality tests revolved around assessing people's reactions to ambiguous and often unsettling images. Today, the gold standard is a barrage of questions.

The thematic apperception test asked people to interpret vague and sometimes disconcerting imagery.
Though these tests fell out of favor due to their ambiguity, there seems to be some truth to them: Image interpretation might be linked to personality.
Today, tests are administered to determine how a person scores on the "big five" core human personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.

In an age before brain scanners and a variety of doodads could measure everything from eye twitches to skin conductance, the first psychologists had to be creative when it came to studying the invisible landscape of the mind.
There were two schools of thought in those early days, structuralism and functionalism. The incorporeal nature of consciousness was especially frustrating to the structuralists, who, unlike their functionalist counterparts, wanted to establish a sort of periodic table of intangible phenomena like thoughts and feelings. For example, a typical structuralist might wonder why thinking about pie was a subjectively different experience from actually eating it and whether every person's pie thoughts were basically the same. A functionalist might wonder why people tended to eat pies on a regular basis but rarely if ever appeared in public wearing one as a hat.
Functionalists contemplated the purpose and usefulness of observable behaviors. Structuralists wanted to understand the anatomy of a person's inner mental life, and to an outside observer, that life happened behind a bony curtain. Even if you did get a chance to peek at the goopy mess behind, that peek revealed very little.
Thematic apperception test
For many years, frustrated mind explorers in white coats devised increasingly bizarre methods to get at the invisible thoughts lurking in the black box of the skull. It was out of this frustration the projective personality test was born. You have likely heard of one of them, the Rorschach test with its butterfly-or-wolf inkblots, but there was another test invented around the same time that was just as popular, so much so that it is still used by some psychologists today.
The thematic apperception test (TAT) was invented in the 1930s by a team led by Harvard psychologist Henry H. Murray. The test went through several revisions, but the final version began printing in 1943, and in it, a psychologist would find a deck of cards with artwork attached depicting ambiguous, weird, and sometimes creepy moments.
For instance, if you were being tested with the deck, a researcher might ask you to describe what you thought was happening in a scene with four men. In the drawing, a man in the foreground seems to stare into your soul. Behind him another uses a scalpel to carve up a gentleman lying prone, and from the shadows another man watched on without explanation. Your interpretation would be recorded, and after going through a deck of these images, a psychologist would then compare and contrast your stories with those of other people who had taken that same test. The idea in the beginning was that a pattern should emerge in your answers, painting you as a certain type of person, and thus predicting your behavior in the real world.
Apperception, by the way, is different from perception. It means to make sense of novel information by putting it into a context you already understand. For example, on first viewing, you might describe Alien as "Jaws in space," but, if you saw Alien first, you might describe Jaws as "Alien in the ocean." In projective personality tests, psychologists were supposed to pay close attention to how you contextualized new things by comparing them to the existing material floating around in your head.
Cecilia Roberts and Christiana D. Morgan helped Murray devise the original thematic apperception test. It was based on a Carl Jung technique called active imagination. Jung encouraged studying the unconscious through something akin to meditation by prompting subjects to recall errant thoughts and visuals from dreams and then asking them to focus on the images and spin a narrative about them in a sort of trancelike, free association, vision quest. Psychologists and psychology students loved it, but getting other people to play along was usually difficult and often awkward.
Roberts, one of Murray's students, came up with the idea of using pictures from magazines instead. She had first tried with her 4-year-old son, asking him to use his active imagination to explore his daydreams while she wrote them down. When he promptly declined, she asked him to come up with a story to describe some out-of-context photos in a book. This time he was eager to play along, and she told Murray about it who was struck with sudden inspiration for a new kind of personality test. Together, they enlisted the help of Morgan, who was a former nurse and well-known artist in certain psychology circles for providing paintings of her own active imagination adventures which Carl Jung later used in his presentations.
The operation proceeded like so: Roberts cut appropriately ambiguous images out of magazines, Morgan painted them, Murray put them into decks and began using them in the lab, and with a bit of study and analysis the TAT was born. Ambiguity was key, according to Murray, who once explained in an interview that a painting of a child huddled on the floor next to a revolver was one of his favorites, because subjects would sometimes say it was a boy and sometimes a girl, and the stories they told changed dramatically depending on that one interpretation.
Today however, although some psychologists still use them, most are wary of projective personality tests because of something that seems obvious in hindsight but somehow slipped past Murray and his team and the hundreds of people who purchased those TAT decks over the years.
As early as 1953, Murray's peers began to notice a pernicious problem. Any one psychologist's interpretation of any one subject's interpretation of any one ambiguous photo was itself a kind of meta projective personality test. It became clear that in that chain of interpretations, apperception generated ambiguous personality tests all the way down — each one increasingly revealed more about the interpreter than the interpreted. Today, critics claim this trap of infinite recursion prevents psychologists from arriving at a meaningful stopping point where something useful could be derived from all that subjectivity. In fact, in 2004, a meta-analysis of this brand of meta-analyses concluded that they were largely useless when it came to predicting behavior. In time, as better methods for studying and quantifying personality traits emerged, the many forms of projective tests were relegated to the domain of Hollywood props decorating 1950s psychiatrists' offices.
The big five personality test
Today, when it comes to understanding your personality, you are much more likely to go through a battery of questions meant to suss out where you fall on each of the traits in the five-factor model. The big five, as they call it, was developed in the 1960s and popularized in the 1980s and is now a widely adopted framework in psychology for understanding the current bestiary of agreed-upon, core human personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. The big five, unlike the TAT, has stood the test of time and replication, mostly because research using that model focused on how a person's answers correlated with their responses in other psychological research.
For instance, recent research has shown that you can reliably determine where a person lies on the five-factor model just from the movies they consider their favorites. In a study titled, "We Are What We Watch," researchers found that a high openness to experience correlated strongly with a preference for films like Being John Malkovich and The Darjeeling Limited, while a low openness to experience correlated with preferences for Shrek Forever After and Step Up 3D. If you love Friday Night Lights, there's a good probability you are high in extraversion. If you'd rather watch Howl's Moving Castle, you are likely low.
Images and personality
But there are still some echoes of Murray's intuitions about a connection between how one reacts to images and that person's personality. In the movie preference study, the researchers noticed some specific imagery seemed to correlate with aspects of the big five. People who gravitated toward movies with wedding scenes, for example, also scored high on openness and agreeableness. Rocket launchers: neuroticism. Hairy chests: conscientiousness.
Still, it seems the promise of peering into the mind through dream analysis, ink blot exposition, and ambiguous photograph interpretation was just a dream, for now. The academic descendants of the structuralists will need tools more powerful and more accurate than introspection alone if we can ever hope to directly observe the private subjective realities through which we make sense of the world.
But that is not to say those strange tests in the early days of psychology didn't lead to progress. Scientists identified an important pitfall when it comes to analyzing the narrative output of brains disambiguating the ambiguous: when minds study other minds, researchers must be careful to avoid the psychological equivalent of putting a mirror in front of a mirror. (At least that's my interpretation of their interpretation of the interpretations of interpretations.)

In a nutshell, LaserCap light therapy improves cellular respiration and function by stimulating the hair follicle cells. Better breathing cells, make for a better functioning hair follicle which, in turn, produces a happier, healthier hair!
Until recently this technology was only available through in-office devices, in hair clinics. With LaserCap LCPRO you can now take it home, making it a much more effective treatment.
The initial step is to make an appointment with a LaserCap physician. The physician will make a hair assessment, and provide the LaserCap LCPRO and usage instructions. Typically the LaserCap LCPRO is worn 36 minutes every other day, with results starting to be noticeable in 12 weeks.

The catagen phase is the second part of a hair's life cycle. This is where the hair disconnects from the blood supply, ceases growth, and moves upwards. the hair follicle shrinks rapidly and now loosely holds the hair in place. It can be easily shed at this stage through normal activity.
Hats and Hair ties do not have an impact on hair growth, however, pulling your hair too tight over many years can cause hair loss by way of traction. Still, It doesn't prevent your hair from going through the 3 aforementioned growth cycles. Likewise, shaving does not impact the life cycles of hair. It will not cause hair to grow thicker as a consequence. The life cycle of hair is controlled under the scalp and is largely influenced by your hormones.

Ukraine deserves better analysis than it has
An interview with Cédric Gras, French writer and former director of Alliance Française in Donetsk. Interviewer: Clémence Lavialle
CLÉMENCE LAVIALLE: Could you tell me how it happened that you started your career in Russia?
CÉDRIC GRAS: Well, I never had a clear career plan. Therefore, I started my professional life by doing what I had always wanted to do – travelling and climbing mountains. I was able to make a decent life out of it. But to make a living out of it, I knew that I had to tell a story through reports, writings, and photographs. In this way, I try to show the world in different forms: academic and more artistic. I try to tell the story of today's world.

UK Parliament report supports Dryad and data access
Dryad has won high-level support from the UK Parliament. Its Select Committee on Science and Technology has been reporting on the peer review of scientific publications. Among the questions it considered was: How far should reviewers be expected to go to assess technical soundness? The report discusses the feasibility of reviewing the underlying data behind research, and how those data should be managed.
Section 4 of the report (para 189) concludes:
…If reviewers and editors are to assess whether authors of manuscripts are providing sufficient accompanying data, it is essential that they are given confidential access to relevant data associated with the work during the peer-review process. This can be problematical in the case of the large and complex datasets which are becoming increasingly common. The Dryad project is an initiative seeking to address this. If it proves successful, funding should be sought to expand it to other disciplines. Alternatively, we recommend that funders of research and publishers work together to develop similar repositories for other disciplines.
The Science and Technology Committee concludes that in order to allow others to repeat and build on experiments, researchers should aim for the gold standard of making their data fully disclosed and made publicly available:
Access to data is fundamental if researchers are to reproduce, verify and build on results that are reported in the literature. We welcome the Government's recognition of the importance of openness and transparency. The presumption must be that, unless there is a strong reason otherwise, data should be fully disclosed and made publicly available. In line with this principle, where possible, data associated with all publicly funded research should be made widely and freely available. Funders of research must coordinate with publishers to ensure that researchers disclose their data in a timely manner. The work of researchers who expend time and effort adding value to their data, to make it usable by others, should be acknowledged as a valuable part of their role. Research funders and publishers should explore how researchers could be encouraged to add this value.

What matters to you when looking for research data in a repository? UK based Digital Curation Centre is looking for Dryad users to complete a 10 minute questionnaire on this. Results will contribute to an assessment framework for Dryad, and the questionnaire includes entry to a competition for $80/ £50 Amazon tokens. DCC are carrying this out as part of the Dryad UK project, which also involves the British Library and Oxford University's Image Bioinformatics Lab.
Why aren't cancer microarray datasets archived more often?
Posted on 2011/07/13 by tjvision
A new study in PLoS ONE by Heather Piwowar, a postdoctoral associate affiliated with DataONE, Dryad, and NESCent, reveals interesting trends in the archiving of data underlying published microarray results. From the press release:
By querying the full text of the scientific literature through websites like Google Scholar and PubMed Central, Piwowar identified eleven thousand studies that collected a particular type of data about cellular activity, called gene expression microarray data. Only 45% of recent gene expression studies were found to have deposited their data in the public databases developed for this purpose. The rate of data publication has increased only slightly from 2007 to 2009. Data is shared least often from studies on cancer and human subjects: cancer studies make their data available for wide reuse half as often as similar studies outside cancer.
"It was disheartening to discover that studies on cancer and human subjects were least likely to make their data available. These data are surely some of the most valuable for reuse, to confirm, refute, inform and advance bench-to-bedside translational research," Piwowar said.
"We want as much scientific progress as we can get from our tax and charity dollars. This requires increased access to data resources. Data can be shared while maintaining patient privacy," Piwowar added, noting that patient re-identification is rarely an issue for gene expression microarray studies.
Reference: Piwowar, H. (2011). "Who shares? Who doesn't? Factors associated with openly archiving raw research data." PLoS ONE 6(7): e18657. doi:18610.11371/journal.pone.0018657
"In the spirit of the topic", the data behind the study are publicly available in Dryad at doi:10.5061/dryad.mf1sd


Usually, mammals inherit two versions of every gene - one from their mother and one from their father. As a result, there is a 50 per cent chance that a parent will pass on a particular trait to their offspring.
The body's natural mechanisms then repair the damaged DNA. It does so by using the gene drive as a template so that all of the offspring now carry two copies of the gene drive.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh's Roslin Institute are using mice to evaluate the technology's effectiveness in a contained laboratory environment.
Professor Bruce Whitelaw, of the University of Edinburgh's Roslin Institute, said: "We have the makings of a technology that could reduce or eliminate a pest population in a humane and species-specific manner. We need more research to better understand the risks, and whether these can be mitigated, but we believe the potential benefits merit further investigation."

"At 0800 hours on Sunday, December 7, 1941, a cacophony of unfamiliar noises on Ford Island caused Seaman 2nd class Richard Girocco and other seamen from his PBY squadron ('patrol bomber') to run outside of their aviation hangar. Ordinarily, the seamen would be resting on their bunks. Today, they had been ordered to prepare to move equipment from Pearl Harbor to Perth, Australia.
Dick Girocco was working at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941.
The sight of planes in the sky didn't immediately alarm them. "We thought the Army Air Corps was dropping flour sacks for practice," said Girocco.
As he and the others continued to gaze upward, they noticed with growing dismay the machine gun fire erupting from the planes. The young American seamen realized the planes were part of the Japanese Imperial forces. Their pilots were firing on Ford Island. Pearl Harbor was under attack!"
On December 7, 1941, the USS Arizona burned after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, killing more than 1,000 sailors on board. National Archives photo.
It is hard for us to imagine what it would have been like on this date, 78 years ago, when hundreds of Japanese aircraft conducted a surprise blitz on the American Naval Fleet stationed at Pearl Harbor at Hawaii.
Seven American battleships were sunk or too crippled to be of use. One of the sunken ships included the USS Arizona, which lost 1,177 crew members.
While primarily targeting battleships and carriers, Japanese fighters and dive-bombers strafed and bombed the flight line and hangars at Hickam Field where dozens of planes sat on the ground.
Nearly half of the airplanes at Hickam Field were destroyed or severely damaged. The Hawaiian Air Depot, base fire station, chapel and guardhouse were all hit and thousands of people killed, including civilians.
The second wave of the Japanese attack struck Hickam at 8:40 a.m. By 9:45, the attacks was over and the Japanese pilots long gone.
The assault at Pearl Harbor was part of a plan to eliminate America's potential challenge to Japanese control in Asia. The Japanese believed such drastic measures would prevent a counterattack.
A day after the attack, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered a stirring announcement to the American people, encouraging them to stand up to the aggressors. On December 8, the American Congress declared war on the Axis countries.
While the incident still represents the U.S. Navy's greatest disaster, the Japanese had not counted on one thing — the American people's desire for vengeance. Four years later, they would learn about that as they surrendered for the first time in Japanese history to the Allies.
Dick Girocco's story was relayed to me during an interview and is included in my book, They Did It for Honor: Stories of American WWII Veterans. It is Book 2 in my WWII Legacies series.
Other vets have relayed to me where they were upon learning Pearl Harbor had been attacked. As you'll read, most Americans did not know where Pearl Harbor was. But they knew the news was serious.
Millard Schwartz was driving home from a shift at a sugar beet plant in Decatur, Indiana, when he heard on the radio about the Japanese attack. "I had no idea where Pearl Harbor was," he said. "Everybody was upset wondering what the enemy would bomb next."
Born in 1921 in Berne, Schwartz had quit school to help his father on their 80-acre farm. In November 1942 he was drafted into the United States Army and served his country in Europe fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and other areas.
His story is detailed in my book, We Fought to Win: American World War II Veterans Share Their Stories.
Eileen Stuckey Zeissig enlisted in the US Army, serving as a nurse in Europe.
Doris Eileen Stuckey Zeissig of Berne was on duty at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on December 7, 1941, when she and other medical staff heard about an attack by the Japanese of the American Naval base of Pearl Harbor. "We had never heard of Pearl Harbor and wondered where it was," she said. After learning about the destruction done to so many American troops, Stuckey, like most Americans, wanted to help the war effort. She enlisted in the US Army and served troops stationed in Europe.
Her story is also told in They Did It for Honor: Stories of American WWII Veterans.
In my new book, It Was Our War Too: Youth in the Shadows of WWII, Charlotte Butterfield Schnieders was a child living in Honolulu in December 1941. Her mother, a nurse at Queen's Medical Center (then Queen's Hospital), worked long hours following the attack. Charlotte's father, George Butterfield, worked as a civilian machinist at Hickam Field, trying to restore order to the mangled mess.
The military base of Pearl Harbor had been established in 1935 as Hawaii's principal army airfield and bomber base.
In 1900 the series of islands in the South Pacific called Hawaii became a United States territory after a two-year period of annexation. In 1959 the area was granted statehood along with Alaska with Hawaii being declared the 50th state to be added to the Union.
Charlotte stayed with her grandparents while her parents worked. Martial law was established in Hawaii and Charlotte and other preschoolers had to wear an ID bracelet for several years. Her ID bracelet is pictured above and in the book. Older civilians carried a paper ID form. Charlotte was too young to carry a gas mask, which was issued to every Hawaiian civilian over the age of seven. The masks were to prepare for the possibility of poison gas attacks or air raids.
Despite the tragedy of Pearl Harbor, Dick Girocco stayed in the Navy. After retiring, he moved to Hawaii and served as a volunteer at the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor.
"Pearl Harbor was the most difficult part of my military experience," he said. "I'm encouraged by the number of young visitors who show interest in our nation's military history. I'm proud of our country and what we did to save it on December 7, 1941.
That kind of courage and dedication is what makes our nation great. Thank a veteran today for his/her service.

Richard Derecki: Will the government's Kickstart scheme halt the rise in youth unemployment in London?
4th October 2020 7th October 2020
It's an ambitious programme but there are signs that few employers will sign up as a rise in joblessness among young Londoners looms
Richard Derecki
So just how bad will it get? At this point we cannot say. But the signs are that London is likely to see a significant and sustained rise in youth unemployment as the economy struggles to adjust to a new dynamic, and the extent of support from the furlough system falls away.
While there are some very modest indicators that a rebound in economic activity took place in August, the latest analysis of the labour market by GLA Economics shows the first uptick in unemployment, with the rate at 5% in the three months to July – a small increase on the previous quarter's figure. Comparisons of London's unemployment rate by age show that the largest increase was in the 16-24 age group, which was up by 1.2 percentage points.
Looking at the claimant count data for London, which show claims for Jobseeker's Allowance and claimants on Universal Credit "searching for work", there was a very big increase of 161% (298,340 claimants) since March 2020 to reach a total of 483,480 claims. Comparing the latest available data, workers across all age groups in London experienced a larger proportional increase than their UK counterparts, with workers aged 25-29 seeing the biggest increase in claims (up by 247%) while those aged 16-24 saw a rise of close to 200%.
For a variety of technical issues, largely to do with the roll out of Universal Credit, the claimant count does not, however, provide a clear read across to levels of unemployment. In particular, people on low incomes but still in work can be eligible for a variety of benefits and would be included in these statistics. Nevertheless, estimates by the Resolution Foundation indicate that perhaps around 40% of new claimants nationally are likely to be newly unemployed – this would include a not insignificant number of new Londoners looking for work.
For those young people just out of school, college or university, the job landscape is deeply troubling. Nationally, apprenticeship starts were down by roughly a half in the year to 6 August 2020 compared with the same period the year before, with those offered to under 19-year-olds disproportionately affected. Published vacancies for apprenticeships are also dramatically lower. Vacancies in the months after coronavirus restrictions were implemented (on 23 March) saw a large fall compared to the previous year – down by over 80% in April and May and by two-thirds in June. July 2020 vacancies were 22% lower than in July 2019.
The latest national vacancy data from the Office for National Statistics, covering June-August across all economic sectors, indicates an uptick in job availability, in line with the glass-half-full view of the economy of Andy Haldane, the Bank of England's ebullient chief economist. However, in those sectors that play key roles in the London economy and would ordinarily offer a first opportunity for young people, the picture remains bleak. Vacancies in retail are down by nearly 60% on the same period a year ago. In arts, entertainment and recreation there has been a staggering fall of 82%.
As part of its economic recovery strategy, the government's Kickstart programme is specifically targeted at out-of-work young people who will be offered six-month placements to help them gain experience and skills. Anyone between the age of 16 and 24 who is out-of-work and claiming Universal Credit may be eligible, with Jobcentre staff tasked with identifying people at risk of long-term unemployment to refer to the scheme.
Crucially for those young people on the margins of the labour market, Jobcentre work coaches will need to support candidates before and after their placement in order to ensure a positive experience for the young person and the employer. The government will fund each Kickstart job – paying 100% of the age-relevant National Minimum Wage, National Insurance and pension contributions for 25 hours a week. In addition, it is offering employers £1,500 to set up support and training for those taking part, or other set-up costs, such as buying uniforms.
The government has put a hefty £2 billion price tag on the programme, which it says could fund over 250,000 placements. But what do employers in London think about it? In a recent survey of over 500 business leaders, the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) found that only 16% of firms surveyed would be looking to take up the Kickstart scheme. There was even less enthusiasm for other government initiatives, such as a £2,000 grant to support taking on an apprentice. Only 12% of firms surveyed said they would try this and only 11% said they might take the £1,000 grant to support trainees gaining valuable work experience.
Furthermore, the Kickstart scheme may struggle to gain traction among London's more than one million small and medium-sized businesses. The government's required commitment to offer at least 30 Kickstart placements is a big ask, even for the large firms. Some local chambers of commerce have registered as intermediaries to help bring together local firms, albeit this adds a further layer of administration to getting the scheme up and running.
Commenting on the LCCI survey results, chief executive Richard Burge said: "For many businesses-leaders in London their sole focus is saving their enterprise and keeping current staff in employment. Many are also preparing for the significant changes that will come into force on 1 January with our exit from the EU. So we are not surprised that our research shows low levels of interest in the Kickstart scheme at this stage. The government clearly needs to push the merits of the scheme directly to business as best as possible, and to secure the support of chambers of commerce across London in doing so. I encourage London businesses to give it full and positive consideration."
