The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook--What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss, Love, and Healing
Paperback – August 29, 2017
by Bruce D. Perry (Author), Maia Szalavitz (Author)
In this instant classic of developmental psychology, a renowned psychiatrist examines the effect that trauma can have on a child, reveals how PTSD impacts the developing mind, and outlines the path to recovery.
What happens when a young brain is traumatized? How does terror, abuse, or disaster affect a child's mind -- and how can that mind recover? Child psychiatrist Dr. Bruce D. Perry has helped children faced with unimaginable horror: genocide survivors, murder witnesses, kidnapped teenagers, and victims of family violence.
In The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, Dr. Perry tells their stories of trauma and transformation through the lens of science, revealing the brain's astonishing capacity for healing. Deftly combining unforgettable case histories with his own compassionate, insightful strategies for rehabilitation, Perry explains what exactly happens to the brain when a child is exposed to extreme stress -- and reveals the unexpected measures that can be taken to ease a child's pain and help him grow into a healthy adult.
As a senior fellow at the Child Trauma Academy, Dr. Perry and his clinical group worked with hundreds who endured severe childhood neglect and abuse with incredible resilience and strength. Through the stories of children who recover -- physically, mentally, and emotionally -- from the most devastating circumstances, Perry shows how simple things like surroundings, affection, language, and touch can deeply impact the developing brain, for better or for worse. In this deeply informed and moving book, Bruce Perry dramatically demonstrates that only when we understand the science of the mind can we hope to heal the spirit of even the most wounded child.
Bruce D. Perry, MD, PhD, is the senior fellow of the ChildTrauma Academy, a not-for-profit organization based in Houston, TX, and an adjust professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago.
Maia Szalavitz is an award-winning journalist who specializes in neuroscience. With Dr. Perry, she also cowrote Born for Love: Why Empathy Is Essential--and Endangered. Her other books include Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction and Help at Any Cost: How the Troubled-Teen Industry Cons Parents and Hurts Kids. She lives in New York City with her husband and a Siamese shelter cat.

Image: Dele Alli managed the full 90 minutes against Arsenal at White Hart Lane
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says young England international Dele Alli is being nursed through games at the moment, due to ankle and knee injuries.
The 19-year-old has been a key figure for Spurs this season as they lay down a Premier League title challenge, and he played the whole 90 minutes of the exciting 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Saturday.
However, he had started on the bench at West Ham in midweek, and Pochettino says the dynamic youngster is not 100 per cent at the moment.

Spurs-Arsenal analysis
"He is an incredible athlete, yes, but he is not a machine," said Pochettino.
"He has a problem in his ankle and knee. He was good before the game but the players are not machines."
Asked if he might have to rest Alli during the title run-in, Pochettino added: "It depends.
"We assess the players every day and we take the best decision from the team.

Pochettino: Missed opportunity
Pochettino to Chelsea?

"We try to look after all of them. We played a lot of games and we come from a difficult season, because we've played a lot.
"I think that we have good staff, good sports science and medical, who can look after the players in a good way.
"We have a lot of players who are young and in their first or second season in the Premier League.
"It's very tough and we spend a lot of time analysing and to find information to give the best training sessions or recovery, or to find the best way to help them."
Speaking before the Arsenal game, Mauricio Pochettino defended his Tottenham side and is adamant they are mentally strong enough to win the league
Alli seemed a little quieter than usual against Arsenal, but he played a key role in the second goal and Pochettino was more than happy with his display.
"I don't know about him lacking energy," he said. "The second goal today he looked fresh.
"Maybe we expect from him to run more than 14 kilometres in every game.
"I think today he was one of the best players, he showed energy and character."

With it being Independence Day in the US (celebrating the anniversary of the ratification of the Declaration of Independence, rebelling against the authority of Great Britain), I thought I'd take a look at one of the worst "patriotic" super-hero outfits for Bad Costume Wednesday.
On one hand, this is a fairly typical sort of Golden Age character, with the wrestling shorts and a tank top. On the other hand, it's a yellow tank top with a striped short-sleeved shirt underneath and a built-in hoodie mask. Also striped. While his face is getting Alien-humped by a giant star. I don't know how you expect anyone to fight crime and/or commies while getting orally invaded by Starro's half-breed offspring.
Also, and I admit I'll have to double-check my flag to be sure, but I'm pretty confident the ol' Stars and Bars doesn't have yellow in it. And that the aforementioned stripes are red, not blue. But it's the yellow that really throws me -- if it were used just as a spot color here and there, fine, but it's the biggest single thing he's wearing. It makes me think he's not supposed to be a national representative sort of fellow, but rather a poorly dressed wrestling fan.
Happy Fourth of July to all our US readers!
Yikes. Jeff, you nailed it. He looks more like a wrestler than a Superhero. I give it some latitude on goofyness since it is Kirby, but man it's pretty rough.
How do colorblind colorists find work? Must have been another of Stan Lee's brothers.
Happy Independence Day to all our US cousins….
To me, the most disturbing part is that the colouration on the mask makes his face appear to be concave. Yeuch.
Happy Independence Day to all the Americans around here, and happy 4th of July to all the non-Americans around here!
It's like a rainbow decided to puke up all the primary colors all over this guys white costume. That's where the yellow comes from. Look, I'm not an American, so I might not have your mindset, but trying to put myself into an American's shoes…I just don't see this as being all that patriotic a costume.
Oh well, happy Independence Day to all of my American fellow Heromachinists. And a belated happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians.
Tried to create a color-corrected version, and it still looks like El Santo as an illegal alien! I won't post it for copyright reasons.
This is an odd costume. I'm not exactly seeing the American flag in this thing. For one thing, the colours for most of the stars and stripes parts seem switched around, which is an odd thing to do. Also, why yellow?
On the other hand… it's Jack Kirby. And I can't say that this thing's hideous or awful. It's one of those costumes that only works in his art style.
Anyway, happy Independence Day to all you Americans! And the rest of us shall enjoy our 4th of July.
@Jeff we should do something Spider Man Related this week. Idk maybe a comparison and poll between The Amazing Spider Man and the original movie?
Happy 4th of July to all my fellow HM fans in the US!

Open wide the Holy Doors: Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy begins Dec. 8
The Catholic Telegraph / December 8, 2015 /	3.4k
A woman examines the Holy Door of Mercy at the Cathedral of St. Peter in Chains in downtown Cincinnati. The holy door was sealed in a Nov. 1 ceremony. It will be opened in a ceremony by Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr at the 11 a.m. Sunday Mass on Dec. 13. (CT Photo/John Stegeman)
A Holy Year begins with the opening of a Holy Door. Since the 15th Century, a "Holy Door" has been set aside for the celebration of Jubilee Years. The solemn ritual opening of the Holy Door evokes for Catholics the passageway from sin to grace, and calls us to live more deeply a life in Christ Jesus.

Open wide the Holy Doors: Explanation of a holy door
Pilgrimage sites for Year of Mercy in Archdiocese of Cincinnati
In his papal bull Misericordiae Vultus (MV), announcing the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis decreed that a solemn opening of the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican on Tuesday, Dec. 8 will mark the beginning of this special Holy Year. Similarly, all other Cathedrals in the world are to open their Holy Doors on Sunday, Dec. 13, and remain open for the duration of the Holy Year.
The symbolism of "holy doors" is quite rich in the Catholic tradition, even when that term is not used. Many Catholic rituals begin at the main doors of the church – such as the Rite of Baptism for Children, the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens (RCIA), and the Funeral Mass, to name a few. The act of crossing over the threshold of these doors symbolizes for Catholics our conversion to Christ, our leaving behind one way of living so that we might find new life in Christ Jesus.
The Holy Door symbolizes Christ, the door to salvation. John's Gospel evokes this strong image: "I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture." (John 10:7-9) For Pope Francis, the solemn opening of the Holy Door for the Jubilee Year of Mercy is particularly significant. He writes, "On that day, the Holy Door will become a Door of Mercy through which anyone who enters will experience the love of God who consoles, pardons, and instills hope" (MV 4).
The Holy Father invites all parishes to open wide their doors so that those who cross through them might find "an oasis of mercy" (MV 12).
In preparation for the ritual opening of the Holy Door of Mercy at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral in Cincinnati, the main front doors were sealed on Nov. 1. They will not be opened again until Archbishop Schnurr opens them on Dec. 13th at the 11:00 a.m. Mass. Other parishes and pilgrimage sites designated by the Archbishop will also open their "Door of Mercy" either on that day or another day thereafter.
As we await the solemn opening of the Holy Door launching the Jubilee Year of Mercy, may we prepare our hearts and minds to enter into a Holy Year marked by conversion of heart and by being the face of mercy to others through our concrete actions. May all who enter through these Holy Doors find within them Christ's mercy and compassion.

In this section we share with you a number of articles, interviews or contributions to conferences that show aspects of our work and vision on Learning, Organizational Development and Change. Since we believe that 'Knowledge only grows when shared' we invite you to share this with your own networks.
In this short article Clement Leemans is discussing how leadership could effectively trigger learning, innovation and change capacity in an organization. He is exploring the distributed leadership concept where leadership is more seen as a system variable and not linked to a specific individual or position, but based on situational expertise and energy.
Clement Leemans, (2014)., Jobcrafting. How can it enhance organizational performance. Talent Management Excellence Essentials. Vol. 2, N°12.
In this short article Clement Leemans reflects on how job-crafting could be a lever for organizational learning by creating for job holders accountability and ownership not only for their own job, but also for the contribution of that job to their internal customers and the overall sustainable performance of their organization. He is not looking at job-crafting as a purely individual process but as a systemic organization development exercise.
C. Leemans & S. Duts (2013)., Human Ressources Development as a strategic business lever.
This article has been written as a summary of a presentation Move! did for the Flemish Learning Network in March 2013 and it breaks with the general idea that strategic HRD would be mainly about translating the business strategy into developmental actions and policies in the organization. Although that is part of it, Move! argues that an important strategic role of HRD is SHAPING and Co-creating the business strategy. Shaping in two distinct ways : first by supporting and facilitating the organizational strategic process and making sure that it is based on sound processes and involving all stakeholders and secondly by contributing our HRD knowledge on the labour market, change management, innovation, organizational processes etc... which is crucial knowledge to forge an implementable and successful business strategy.
Torraco, R.J. & Swanson, R.A. (1995). The strategic roles of human resource development. Human Resource Planning. 18(4).
In this short four page leaflet, we present Move! as an OD Consultant, our vision, activities and approach.
Ideally experiential learning happens "at work" and is simply part of useful, effective, added-value work, where people don't just do what they do, but keep their eyes open for what happens, try to understand that and adapt their course of action to improve the outcomes. That growing "awareness" for improvement opportunities simply by 'processing' experience or the insight that changes in the environment demand for a different approach, is nothing else but : LEARNING.
But in real work situations you cannot 'direct' what happens and in the heat of the moment, significant observations are not always addressed… the game must go on and workload or urgencies are often in the way of thorough processing of experience and experimenting new approaches.
In "off-work" circumstances, workshops but also team meetings for instance, you can create the context to process experiences at work and if there is no immediate 'common experience' as the offset of an experiential learning process, you can 'introduce' those (near to real) experiences through a number of learning activities.
This article describes how Clement Leemans facilitated the 'strategy development process' for HRD in a large multinational organization through the development of a highly collaborative network of L&D Managers comming from 70 different countries and business units. It functioned as a Learning Network and a Community of Practice that was a lever for implementing a vision on Organizational Learning throughout the organization.
This article was originally written for the MOPAN conference in Leuven on Multi-party Collaboration.
How Organizations Trigger Sustainable Performance.
C. Leemans. (2012) How Organizations trigger Sustainable Performance. A Mental Model for Organizational Development.
In this short article, we try to summarize our main 'assumptions' about how an organization can sustainably develop their performance. That mental model about Organizational Performance and Development guides also our 'work' as Organization Development consultant or process facilitator and more generally our Move! approach to organizational learning, change & performance improvement.
It is a plea, scientifically underpinned, for a collaborative organizational culture, creating the conditions to learn and to innovate.

\section{Running of the Magnetic Coupling}

One of the most unusal results of including magnetic charges
in electromagnetism is that an isolated electric charge -
magnetic charge system carries an angular momentum in the
electric and magnetic fields of the system. If the electric charge
has a magnitude $e$ and the magnetic charge a magnitude $g$ the
angular momentum carried in the ${\bf E}$ and ${\bf B}$ fields
is
\begin{equation}
\label{angmom}
{\bf L} _{fields} = {e g \over 4 \pi} {\hat {\bf r}}
\end{equation}
where ${\hat {\bf r}}$ is the unit vector pointing from the
electric charge to the magnetic charge \cite{jackson}.
This result, along with the quantum mechanical requirement
that all angular momentum come in integer units of $\hbar / 2$
is the best formulation independent way of arriving at the
Dirac quantization condition that $e g / 4 \pi = n (\hbar / 2)$
$n = 1, 2, 3, ...$ \cite{saha}. (It is formulation independent in that
it only requires the assumption of the Coulombic form of the ${\bf E}$
and ${\bf B}$ fields surrounding the electric and
magnetic charges. It is not necessary to assume either the
string approach of Dirac \cite{dirac} or the fiber-bundle
approach of Wu and Yang \cite{wu}). Using Eq. (\ref{angmom})
and the conservation and quantization of angular momentum it is
possible to determine how the magnetic coupling $g$ scales with energy.

The running with energy of the coupling of a theory is determined
by the beta function which is defined as
\begin{equation}
\label{beta}
\beta _{\lambda} = \mu {\partial \lambda \over \partial \mu}
\end{equation}
where $\lambda$ is the coupling and $\mu$ is an arbitrary energy
scale. The electric coupling $e$, and the magnetic coupling $g$,
as with any other coupling, should have a dependence
on the energy scale $\mu$. The usual way of finding
$e (\mu)$, for example, is to calculate the beta function
perturbatively to the desired order in perturbation theory, plug
this into the left hand side of Eq. (\ref{beta}),
and then solve the resulting differential
equation for $e (\mu)$. Since the magnetic coupling $g(\mu)$ is
nonperturbatively large (from the Dirac quantization condition
and $e$ being perturbatively small) it is difficult to calculate
the magnetic beta function, $\beta _g$, in the usual way.
For an isolated electric charge - magnetic charge
system the quantity $e (\mu) g(\mu) / 4 \pi$ must be a constant
since otherwise angular momentum conservation would be violated.
Additionally $e(\mu)$ and $g(\mu)$ must scale in a related way so
that the field angular momentum is always equal to some integer
multiple of $\hbar / 2$. Since $e (\mu)$ and $g (\mu)$ run in
a continuous way the only way to satisfy this requirement of
quantized angular momentum is for $e (\mu) g(\mu) / 4 \pi$ to
remain equal to whatever integer multiple of $\hbar / 2$ it
was equal to at the reference energy scale $\mu _0$. Thus
taking the Dirac condition $e(\mu) g(\mu) / 4 \pi = n (\hbar / 2)$
differentiating both sides by $\mu$ and multiplying by
$4 \pi \mu$ one gets
\begin{equation}
e  \left( \mu {\partial g \over \partial \mu} \right)
+ g \left( \mu {\partial e \over \partial \mu} \right) = 0
\end{equation}
which with the help of Eq. (\ref{beta}) can be written as
\begin{equation}
\label{betarel}
\beta _g = - {g \over e} \beta _e
\end{equation}
The subscripts indicate the magnetic or electric coupling.
The minus sign in Eq. (\ref{betarel}) shows that the magnetic
coupling and electric coupling should run in opposite ways. Moreover
Eq. (\ref{betarel}) should be valid to any order of perturbation
theory since it just depends on the requirement that angular
momentum be conserved and quantized. In order to make any
detailed statements about the scaling of $e(\mu)$ or $g(\mu)$ one must
be able to calculate either $\beta _g$ or $\beta _e$. Taking as an
example spinor QED where $\beta _e = e^3 / 12 \pi ^2$, and using the Dirac
quantization condition to replace $e$ with $g$ via $e = 2 \pi / g$
(where we have specialized to the $n=1$ case and set $\hbar =1$)
it is found that Eq. (\ref{betarel}) becomes $\beta _g =
{-1 \over 3 g}$. Solving this for $g(\mu)$ yields
\begin{equation}
\label{grun}
g^2 (\mu) = g^2 (\mu _0) - {2 \over 3} \ln \left( {\mu \over \mu_0}
\right)
\end{equation}
where $\mu _0$ is the reference energy scale. From Eq. (\ref{grun})
it is easy to see that the magnetic coupling decreases with energy
as opposed to the electric coupling, $e (\mu)$, which increases
with energy. The decrease is logarithmically slow so that
the magnetic coupling will still remain enormous out to energy
scales beyond which the perturbative calculation of $\beta _e$
can be trusted, and far out of reach of any current or planned
accelerators. This example, or a more realistic extension using
$\beta _e$ of the Standard Model, depend on the implicit assumption
that monopoles can be ignored in the perturbative calculation
of $\beta _e$. Recently it has been shown that experimentally
measured Standard Model parameters do not show any sign of the
effect of virtual monopoles up to roughly 1 TeV \cite{der}. The
harder  and more interesting question of how to handle the
situation when virtual monopoles do start to effect $\beta _e$
is left unanswered by the above results, but it is still somewhat
interesting that the scaling of the magnetic coupling can be
determined in a region where its strength is nonperturbatively large.

Several other authors \cite{deans} \cite{jengo} have investigated
quantum field theories with magnetic charge, and have
discussed the renormalization of the Dirac quantization condition
as well as the running of the magnetic coupling. In Ref. \cite{deans}
it is claimed that magnetic and electric couplings should
scale in the same way, while Ref. \cite{jengo} comes to the different
conclusion that they should scale in
the opposite way. Our results agree with those of Ref. \cite{jengo},
but our argument is different. Rather than using a perturbative,
Feynman diagrammatic approach we arrive at our results based on
angular momentum conservation and quantization. Thus,
although our result is the same as that of Ref. \cite{jengo}, our
arguments should remain valid to all orders of perturbation theory.

\section{Monopole and Two Electric Charges}

From Eq. (\ref{angmom}) one sees that an electric charge - magnetic
charge system carries an internal angular momentum due to the
${\bf E}$ and ${\bf B}$ fields of the particles, which has a magnitude
$e g / 4 \pi$ and points from the electric charge toward the magnetic
charge. Now we will consider what happens
when the monopole is in the presence of two electric charges. For
definiteness we place a positive electric charge, $+e$, at the
origin, a negative electric charge, $-e$, along the z-axis a distance
$d > 1$ away from the origin, and we place the magnetic charge, $g$,
at an arbitrary point on the unit circle in the $xz$ plane so
that its position is given by the polar angle $\theta$. The angular
momentum of the $+e g$ part of this system points from $+e$ to $g$ and is
\begin{equation}
\label{l1}
{\bf L} _1 = {e g \over 4 \pi} \left( \cos \theta {\hat {\bf x}}
+ \sin \theta {\hat {\bf z}} \right)
\end{equation}
The angular momentum of the $- e g$ part of the system points from
$g$ to $-e$ and is
\begin{equation}
\label{l2}
{\bf L}_2 = {e g \over 4 \pi} \left( {- \cos \theta \over
\sqrt{d^2 +1 -2d \sin \theta}} {\hat {\bf x}} + {d -\sin \theta
\over \sqrt{d^2 +1 -2d \sin \theta}} {\hat {\bf z}} \right)
\end{equation}
The total angular momentum of this system of two electric charges
and one magnetic charge is then simply the sum of Eqs. (\ref{l1})
and (\ref{l2})
\begin{equation}
\label{lt}
{\bf L}_{tot} = {\bf L}_1 + {\bf L}_2
\end{equation}
Now the magnitude of ${\bf L}_{tot}$ varies continuously from
$2 (e g / 4 \pi)$ at $\theta = \pi / 2$, to $0$ at $\theta = 3 \pi
/2$. Thus, classically, any value for $\vert {\bf L}_{tot} \vert$
between $e g / 2 \pi$ and $0$ is possible depending on the choice of
$\theta$. If one requires that a particular value of $\vert
{\bf L}_{tot} \vert$, for a particular $\theta$, equal some integer
multiple of $\hbar / 2$ then all the continuously connected values
of $\vert {\bf L}_{tot} \vert$ at neighboring values of $\theta$
will not equal an integer multiple of $\hbar / 2$, in violation of
the requirement that angular momentum be quantized. Further for
$\theta = 0$ or $\pi$ one finds that
\begin{equation}
\vert {\bf L}_{tot} \vert = {e g \over 4 \pi} \sqrt{2 - {2 \over
\sqrt{d^2 -1}}}
\end{equation}
so that $\vert {\bf L}_{tot} \vert$ also has some dependence on
$d$ as well as on $\theta$. The only way for the total angular
momentum of this system to be quantized would be for the initial
positions of the particles (as determined by $\theta$ and $d$)
to take only certain discrete values ({\it i.e.} for the positions
to be quantized). Since there is no apparent mechanism that requires
any such positional ``quantization'' of the initial configuration of
our system we conclude that such a configuration (or more precisely
the free monopole in the configuration) seems to be inconsistent with
the quantization of angular momentum. One may worry about the use of the
classical Coulomb fields for the electric and magnetic charges in
the above development (especially in deriving Eq. (\ref{angmom})).
However, the field angular momentum given in Eq. (\ref{angmom})
is independent of the distance between the charges so that we may
take all the charges to be arbitrarily far away from one another
({\it e.g.} have the magnetic charge placed on a circle of radius
$R$ instead of unit radius such that $d \gg R \gg 1$) without
affecting the result of Eq. (\ref{angmom}). Under these
conditions one is certainly justified in using the Coulomb form
for the electric and magnetic fields of the particles, and ignoring
any quantum corrections.

Since electric charges are known to exist, the
above argument seems to imply that free magnetic charges
do not exist. Despite this it may still be possible
that monopoles exist, if they are permanently confined
much in the same way that color charged quarks are postulated to
be permanently confined. This seems reasonable in light of the
fact that, from the Dirac condition, the monopole coupling is
an order of magnitude, or more, larger than the equivalent QCD
coupling which is thought to confine quarks. In addition
Wilson's \cite{wilson} original lattice gauge theory paper
on confinement uses a U(1) gauge field to argue for confining
behaviour, so that it is not the Abelian (QED) versus
non-Abelian (QCD) character of an interaction
that is of chief importance but the strength of the
coupling. It may be argued that Wilson's results can not be
applied to magnetic charge since it is the electric charge
which is the gauge charge and is directly coupled to the
U(1) gauge boson. However, as pointed out in Ref. \cite{baker},
it is just as easy to make the magnetic charge the gauge
charge, which is directly coupled to the U(1) gauge boson, by
introducing a four vector potential, $C_{\mu} = (\phi _m ,
{\bf C})$, which is dual to the usual four vector potential
$A_{\mu}$. Then by defining a new field strength tensor and
its dual as
\begin{equation}
\label{fstdual}
G_{\mu \nu} = \partial _{\mu} C_{\nu} - \partial _{\nu} C_{\mu}
\; \; \; \; \;
{\cal G}_{\mu \nu}  = {1 \over 2} \epsilon _{\mu \nu \alpha \beta}
G^{\alpha \beta}
\end{equation}
one can obtain the ${\bf E}$ and ${\bf B}$ fields as
\begin{equation}
E_i = - {\cal G}^{i0} \; \; \; \; \; B_i = G^{i0}
\end{equation}
(In three vector notation this becomes ${\bf E} = - \nabla \times
{\bf C}$ and ${\bf B} = - \nabla \phi _m - (1/c) (\partial {\bf C}
/ \partial t)$). In this dual formulation it is the magnetic
charge with is the gauge charge and the electric charge which finds
itself on the end of a Dirac string. Thus Wilson's arguments for
confinment should apply equally well to magnetic charge in this
dual formulation of electrodynamics. Although in principle either
formulation of electrodynamics (in terms of $A_{\mu}$ or $C_{\mu}$)
is equally satisfactory, in practice it much easier
to deal with whatever charge is directly coupled to the U(1) gauge
boson. Since electric charges are known to exist while
magnetic charges have never been seen experimentally it is more
practical to do electrodynamics with electric charge directly coupled
to the U(1) gauge boson. (An interesting possibility in electromagnetism
with both electric and magnetic charges is to use both $A_{\mu}$ and
$C_{\mu}$, and have one of the extra ``photons'' ({\it i.e.} $A_{\mu}$
or $C_{\mu}$) hidden through some form of symmetry breaking \cite{sing}).

\section{Conclusions}

Using the result that a magnetic charge placed in the field
of one or more electric charges produces a field
angular momentum, and that angular
momentum must be conserved and quantized, we have given two
restrictions on the behaviour of monopoles. First Eq. (\ref{betarel})
shows that the magnetic coupling will scale in the opposite way
from the electric coupling. Although the running of the
magnetic coupling, as given in the example of spinor QED,
is logarithmically slow, so that the magnetic coupling
will still be enourmous out to any energy scale that may be
reasonably reached at any future accelerator, it is interesting
that one can say anything about the scaling of a coupling that is
nonperturbatively large. This result is not new \cite{jengo},
but we have arrived at it using only angular momentum conservation
and quantization so that our result, as given in Eq. (\ref{betarel}),
should be good to any order. Second, by considering the field
angular momentum of a system of two electric charges and one
monopole we have found that it is not possible to have the
field angular momentum quantized to some integer multiple
of $\hbar /2$ for every possible initial position of
this system ({\it i.e.} angular momentum can not be quantized
since the initial positions of the charges need not be
``quantized''). Since the quantization of angular momentum
is a fundamental requirement of quantum mechanics this appears
to imply that free, unconfined monopoles are incompatiable with quantum
mechanics and therefore do not exist. A possible evasion of this
argument is that even if there are no free monopoles they may exist
and be permanently confined, in the same way quarks are thought to
be permanently confined. (This confinement hypothesis for
magnetic charge also fits in with the scaling of the
magnetic coupling discussed in the first section). The dual
formulation of QED \cite{baker}, where magnetic charge is the
gauge charge, combined with the lattice gauge theory confinement arguments
of Wilson \cite{wilson} also help to give strength to this confinement
hypothesis of magnetic charge. This would also give an explanation
as to why free monopoles have evaded experimental detection, just as
free quarks have evaded detection.

Finally one may ask how the above arguments apply to 't Hooft-Polyakov
\cite{thooft} monopoles. It would appear that since our arguments
depend on the electric charge - magnetic charge system carrying
a field angular momentum that they should apply to these topological
magnetic charges as well. It has been shown that the composite
system of a 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole and a non-Abelian
test particle also carries a field angular momentum
\cite{rebbi}. However in this case things may be a bit more
delicate since it is not clear that one can use the principle
of superposition as freely as in the Abelian case.
For example, if the Abelian monopole were replaced by a 't Hooft-Polyakov
monopole, and the two electric charges by non-Abelian charges, and
if the superposition were valid, then a conflict with quantized
angular momentum would also arise in this non-Abelian system. However
non-Abelian gauge theories are non-linear so the superposition
principle is not valid. Without further analysis the best that
can be done is to speculate that since the
field angular momentum is again independent of the distance between
the charges that all the charges could again be separated by
arbitrarily large distances so that superposition
would be approximately valid.

While there are no set educational requirements to enter the field, success as a medical coding specialist requires a strong knowledge of biology, anatomy, physiology and medical terminology. Most employers require a high school diploma or equivalent and prefer candidates with a postsecondary certificate or at least a year of study beyond high school.
Certificate programs in medical coding generally take about a year to complete and are available through community colleges, continuing education centers and four-year colleges. Two professional organizations, the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) also offer online certificate programs. To become certified, students must pass one of several exams available through AHIMA and AAPC.
O*Net estimates that 21% of health information technicians (including medical coders) attended some college without earning a degree, while 20% hold an associate degree. A growing number of for-profit career schools offer certificate programs and associate degrees in medical coding. An investigation by the Government Accountability Office found that some of these programs engage in fraudulent and deceptive educational practices while charging very high tuition. To avoid educational scams, consult the list of approved certificate programs on AHIMA's website.
In some cases, medical coding specialists are trained entirely on the job. This may be an option for people who already have a strong background in the sciences or experience in other areas of health information management.
The US Department of Labor classifies medical coding as an apprenticeable occupation. Registered apprenticeship programs provide paid on-the-job training and academic instruction. For more information, contact a state apprenticeship office or a local chapter of AAPC.

In this embossing the design is pressed into the fabric using high temperature and pressure. We make use of the structure and the thickness of the fabric in this process, and thus the best effects can be achieved on fabrics with larger weight or distinct structure (e.g. Polyester knitted fabric, polar fleece, 'scuba'). The structure is modified only where the design is present, meaning the rest of the material remains unchanged.
Application: Debossing is possible only on polyester based materials.
Contrary to the previous embossing service in this type we use a pair of moulds – a normal one and a counter part (also called male and female mould). As a result we are able to form the material in 3d without any additional filling necessary. Both Pressure and temperature are still used in order for the material to remember the new shape, so for cotton based materials a special polymer was introduced to provide durability of the effect.
Our machines provide even force distribution on the surface of the entire pattern, so the imprinted pattern is sharp on the edges and its depth is the same thorough the area. We provide high accuracy of pattern position on pre-cut elements, the exact location can be set as desired. We can also produce special types of embossing, such as glued elements - we have many years of experience in this field, and that allows us to offer tailored solutions for every order, regardless of the level of order's complexity.
Currently, in our database of ready-made designs we have over 150 different embossing patterns - both large patterns, borders and small, individual applications. In the case of 3d embossing, 100% of our designs are custom-made, therefore we do not maintain a catalogue of designs for these types of embossing.
In all types of embossings the design creation process is separated from the production of the embossed elements. This has enabled us to provide embossing services without MOQ.
The embossing is highly dependent on the material used - not only its composition, but also the texture and even colour. Before starting the pattern creation process we encourage customers to test the effect on target material, using our ready-made embossing sample patterns.


Franklin Delano Roosevelt, commonly known by his initials FDR, was an American statesman and political leader who served as the 32nd President of the United States. A Democrat, he was elected four times and served from March 1933 to his death in April 1945. He was a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic depression and total war. A dominant leader of the Democratic Party, he built a New Deal Coalition that realigned American politics after 1932, as his New Deal domestic policies defined American liberalism for the middle third of the 20th century.
Congress is called into special session by FDR, & began its "100 days"
U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt, in an attempt to check inflation, freezes wages and prices, prohibits workers from changing jobs unless the war effort would be aided thereby, and bars rate increases to common carriers and public utilities.
Franklin Roosevelt announces that he will run for a fourth term as President of the United States.

Against Self-Deceit: The Poetry of Yana Djin
Poetic genius is measured, firstly, by a poet's ability to subject time to language. This is, to internally overcome time, or, to be more precise, to overcome what time does to language.
Matthew Kadane's Catharsis
It has been very interesting to read and listen to the works of Matt Kadane. His music has an unusual blessing for the post-industrial age—it has a melody and humanity in it in a time when it is an embarrassment to show human fragility.
Irakli Charkviani against POMO - POSTMODERN BOURGEOIS MATERIALISM
The postmodern world is filled with different contradictions. By 2001 it became obvious that the discourse of postmodern civilization is deeply entrenched in the so called Identity Politics that feeds different kinds of religious fundamentalism, ethnocentric nationalism, xenophobia and other social ills of our times.
Transparency Revolution
There is much talk about the arrest of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Opinions are divided and some politicians even go so far to suggest calling him a 'terrorist". In his recent interview with Time when asked if he considered himself practicing civil disobedience, he has said that he is practicing civil obedience.
Where have POSTINDUSTRIAL BOYS gone? By 2010
It was the year 1999. It was in hot Phoenix, Arizona, when I wrote this poem. It was a time when everybody was excited about the new age, where you could have gotten in touch with your friends on different continents through the Internet and low cost phone calls.
Polyphonic Peace
From the recent postmodern history we have seen that the old ways of dealing with violent conflicts through the single state power proved to be in most cases violent and tragic. In the new multi-polar world of the 21st century, accepting diversity and equality of nations becomes a more important concept.
Top Racist Recipient of U.S. Aid
Georgia is one of the top recipients of American aid.
Torturing Writers in the Name of G.W. Bush
George W. Bush called Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili a "Beacon of Democracy" of the new world in 2005. Saakashvili had always supported the Iraq War and all other wars and has even started his own war with Russia. George Bush was trying to help him, and Saakashvili returned a favor. He has named a street after Mr. Bush.

Until something goes wrong, most people will ignore their plumbing systems. The hidden nature of these hardworking pipes makes them easy to overlook, and most homeowners pay dearly for that oversight. As with any other system in the home, these pipe systems suffer from wear and tear.
As a plumbing expert with access to specialty piping supplies in Utah, you can ensure your clients have the best plumbing system. You can make their plumbing systems run efficiently without the need to lift a pipe range. Doing so would give you an edge and grow your sales.
Thanks to evolving plumbing technology, the current systems are quite robust and durable. That means that they are capable of handling a considerable amount of abuse before they call it quits. That can spell bad news if your firm's primary service revolves around providing such solutions or you're in a neighborhood with relatively new houses.
Therefore, you need insights into the target market and identify the kind of problems they are struggling with at any given time. You can then create a service that revolves around solving the pressing issues. Doing so gives you an edge on the market as you will be addressing problems that affect the target market directly. It also gives you ways to differentiate your services on the market and beat the competition.
Creating an ever-expanding roster of clients is the safest way to grow your business. In most cases, that would mean coming up with a killer marketing and advertising campaign. Lucky for you, you can do this without incurring a fortune in advertising costs. Instead, offer each of your clients a free plumbing system appraisal whenever they retain your services.
Most clients will take you up on that offer, which sets the stage for the next step. Most people might be ignorant of the state of their plumbing systems but are painfully aware of the ramifications of a faulty one. As such, they would be willing to retain your services to fix any problems that you uncover. In essence, free inspection is a smart way to upsell your clients without resorting to hard-sale techniques.
As part of your free appraisal, you can identify other avenues that are causing your client to bleed money every month. Help them embrace green technology, which lowers their carbon footprints. Installing green solutions, such as low-flow showerheads, taps, and water-efficient toilet cisterns, results in reduced water consumption. Fixing their home insulation capacity will result in an energy-efficient house that doesn't saddle the owners with huge heating and cooling bills.
While homeowners might not pay any attention to the plumbing system, they are aware of the problems that result when things go wrong. If you are in a position to help them escape such pains, you can be sure of running a successful plumbing firm. If you go further and help them reduce their utility bills, you can create a broad base of loyal customers.

While I am primarily studying Civil and Environmental Engineering, a great deal of my interest lies within the humanitarian side of the industry. I find myself constantly attracted to anything in terms of maintaining sustainability – from individual/personal lifestyle sustainability to large scale, nation-wide sustainability. When I saw the course description for 'Environmental Studies 490′ with the USC Wrigley Institute, I was immediately drawn in by the idea of working towards sustainable solutions. I was pretty much sold from first glance, and the added factor of spending Spring Break on Catalina Island was obviously a huge plus.
The main sustainability factors that we were targeting this semester were waste, water, and energy. I chose to focus on the water crisis, where the goal was to obtain as much freshwater as possible from various mechanisms. The freshwater was to help offset the water used by the facility's aquaponics system, tree irrigation, and the greenhouse cooling system.
To approach this problem, I designed and built a hybrid solar still, a solar energy-generated water desalination unit with complementing features. At its most basic, you put saline water into the still system, let the system heat up and generate steam, and then collect the fresh water steam as it condenses on a glass cover.
For my design, I decided to implement various factors that would increase the freshwater yield. I added a stepped base to decrease the distance the evaporate would travel to be collected on the glass, internal and external reflectors to increase the number of sun rays exposed to the seawater, and implemented a flow through system to increase the temperature and amount of work on the water. Each of these factors contributed to the hybrid design to increase the freshwater yield. This system was also totally off the power grid – the seawater pump was powered by a solar generator.
Implementing this project had numerous benefits. Not only was this an impeccable learning experience for myself, it also continued the USC Wrigley Institute's movements to combat the drought and produced an educational tool to be talked about and improved on for years to come. This system gives educators the opportunity to continue developing ways of producing freshwater from seawater with little to no "dirty" energy. Once built, this system was self-sufficient – using only energy from the sun.
This project has expanded my knowledge of sustainable practices, connected me with many like-minded individuals and groups, enhanced my project communication skills, improved my ability to improvise with the resources available, and lastly allowed me to experience and become acquainted with an island abundant in opportunities for both recreation and education.

"I Survived Being Carjacked"
When a stranger jumped into my vehicle and instructed me to drive, I didn't know what to do. Somehow, I figured it out
By By Ricki Brison, as told to Meg Cassity
One night last December, I pulled into the parking lot of the Walmart where my husband works. I was sitting with my car running when suddenly a man knocked on the car window and got in. He said his name was Eric and he told me to drive.
It didn't seem like a carjacking, but he seemed drunk or high and was wearing a lot of layers. I didn't know if he had a weapon. So I drove.
Eric said he had seen me before and thought we had a connection. Feeling queasy, I mentioned my husband and began talking incessantly, making up stuff. I figured if I could distract him, he wouldn't focus on what he might want to do to me.
He kept giving me random directions. Then he stuck his hand in his pants—I didn't want to think about what he was doing—and put his other hand on my thigh. We'd been in the car for about 30 minutes. I was purposely doing 60 in a 35-miles-per-hour zone, running red lights, trying to get a cop's attention. Eric didn't notice at first, but then he asked, "Are you trying to get pulled over?"
The Crucial Phone Call
Eric was becoming more aggressive—that's when panic set in. He kept leaning over to kiss me, and I tried to joke around and shoo him away.
Then my husband called. "Just let me answer the phone so I can get rid of him," I told Eric, who let me pick up.
My husband asked where I was, and I told him I was giving "our friend Eric" a ride. I said, "Is there some kind of emergency that's happened where I need to pick you up? Is there someone you can call in case there's an emergency?"
When I said that, it clicked for him. "Do you need me to call 911?" he asked. I replied, "Yes, I do."
Even though I was sure my husband would notify the police, I was worried they wouldn't know exactly where I was. I didn't even know exactly where I was; we'd been driving for maybe an hour and a half. But I knew I should try to go to a public place. When Eric said he wanted to go somewhere and have sex, I realized that if I got him to a hotel, I'd have contact with other people.
I spotted a hotel and pulled up to the front. We walked inside and I asked the clerk at the front desk for a room. When he asked for my ID, I pulled out my phone and told him, "I've got all my bank info in here. You know these crazy apps these days!" But what I really did was text "Call 911" before handing him my phone. He immediately went to the back to call. But his face said it all. Eric yelled at me to leave.
I knew the cops were on their way, so I actually got back into my car with him. We didn't get far though. Police cars surrounded us within minutes and he was arrested.
It seems crazy now that I got back into the car, but all I was thinking was that I didn't want him to get away. If he was having a psychotic break, he could do something awful to a lot of people. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't try to stop that from happening.
I'm so grateful that my husband knew me well enough to figure out something was wrong, even though we'd been married only a year. We have code words to use now, in case something like this ever happens again.

Q: Pass a variable to a service with AngularJS? I am building an app to track movies and their info, I am new to Angular, and I cant not really sure how to pass a variable to this service.
I want the url to be a variable instead of hardcoded. whats the best way to do it?
tmdb.service('tmdbService', function($http, $q){
    var deferred = $q.defer();

    $http.get('https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=jkhkjhkjhkjh').then(function(data){
        deferred.resolve(data);
    });

    this.getMovies = function(){
        return deferred.promise;
    }
});

tmdb.controller("tmdbController", function($scope, tmdbService){
    var promise = tmdbService.getMovies();
    promise.then(function(data){
        $scope.movies = data;
        //  console.log($scope.movies);
    })
});

A: There is no need (in this case) to use $q.defer() because $http already returns a promise.  So, your service code can be simplified to:
tmdb.service('tmdbService', function($http){

    this.getMovies = function(){
        return $http.get('https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=jkhkjhkjhkjh');
    }
});

Then, if you want to send a parameter you can do this:
tmdb.service('tmdbService', function($http){

    this.getMovies = function(movieId){
        return $http.get('https://api.themoviedb.org/' + movieId + '/movie/popular?api_key=jkhkjhkjhkjh');
    }
});

In your controller, you can now send in the movieId:
tmdb.controller("tmdbController", function($scope, tmdbService){

    tmdbService.getMovies(3).then(function(response){
        $scope.movies = response.data;
        //  console.log($scope.movies);
    })
});

A: I usually do this in the following way which I feel is neat and more readable:
tmdb.service('tmdbService', [function($http) {
    return {     //simple mapping of functions which are declared later
        fn1: fn1,
        fn2: fn3
    }

    function f1(param) { //param can be the url in your case
        //fn code example
        return $http.post(param).success(function(response) {
             return response.data;
        })
    }

    function f2(param) {
    }
}]

And in your controller, using the service:
tmdb.controller('tmdbController', ['$scope', 'tmdbService', function($scope, tmdbService) {
    tmdbService.f1(url).then(function(data) {
         //handle the data here
    })
}])

A: There are several ways you can go about achieving this goal. In my opinion there is really no right/wrong way; what is right is absolutely dependent on your need and this may change as you application grows.
Especially for large applications, you can define a module to manage urls and inject this module into your index application.
Another way is to define a service to manage your urls. In this case you also have to inject this service into any other services/controllers etc where you may need it.
The disadvantage to this is that this service is only available to the angular module its defined within or at most must be accessed via that module.
So using the service style here is how it may be implemented.

tmdb.service('urlService', function () {

    this.urls = {
        url1: 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=jkhkjhkjhkjh',
        url2: 'anotherUrl'
    };

});

tmdb.service('tmdbService', ['$http', '$q', 'urlService', function ($http, $q, urlService) {
    var deferred = $q.defer();

    $http.get(urlService.url.url1).then(function (data) {
        deferred.resolve(data);
    });

    this.getMovies = function () {
        return deferred.promise;
    }
}]);

Again there is no absolute right/wrong way; it depends.
I hope you find this helpful.
Cheers!
