Effect of guidance on learning in independent study
Effect of guidance on learning in independent study Kotaska, Janelyn Gail
The recent proliferation of individual methods of learning in continuing education coupled with the lack of research related to instructional methodology led to this investigation of the effect of guidance on the learning of adults using an independent learning packet. The present study tested two hypotheses: 1. Mean scores on a criterion post-test will be significantly higher for two groups who receive an independent learning packet than for a control group receiving no instruction. 2. Mean scores on a criterion post-test will be significantly higher for a group receiving an independent learning packet including a study guide than for a group receiving the same independent learning packet without a study guide. Thirty-five Registered Nurses volunteered to study an independent learning packet entitled "Meeting the Emotional Needs of the Hospitalized Preschool Child", and twenty-one nurses were obtained for the control group. The post-test only control group design consisted of eighteen nurses systematically assigned to treatment Group A who studied the independent learning packet with a study guide designed to provide guidance of thinking. Seventeen nurses were assigned to treatment Group B, who studied an alternative form of the independent learning packet without the study guide. Group C acted as the control group. The independent variable was the method of instruction and the dependent variable was achievement as measured by scores on a criterion-referenced post-test, which was completed by all three groups. The Mann Whitney U test applied to the scores of Group A and B combined versus Group C yielded a significant difference in the predicted direction beyond the .00003 level. The difference in mean scores of Groups A and B failed to achieve a significance of .05 when the t test was applied. Therefore, the first hypothesis was confirmed but the second was not accepted. Analysis of the distribution of six known personal characteristics suggested that Groups A and B were equivalent, but that Group C was different from the other two. Interaction of the method of instruction with, the place of employment and the method of instruction with educational preparation produced the only significant effects (p

- Ron Paul Institute -
Dec 3, 2022: Daily Beast: Did Putin Astroturf the Libertarian Ron Paul Revolution?
On March 12, 2007, an obscure congressman from Texas announced his run for the Presidency of the United States. He was a fringe candidate running on the Republican ticket with little hope of winning a primary, let alone the nomination.
Then—suddenly—Ron Paul was everywhere.
Dec 18, 2014: BuzzFeed: Rand Paul And Ron Paul Both Say The Cuba Policy Clearly Hasn't Worked
Republican Sen. Rand Paul and his father, former presidential candidate and former congressman from Texas Ron Paul agree: U.S. policy toward Cuba for the last 50 years didn't work.
Sept 29, 2014: Ron Paul: Eurasia Review: Scottish
Referendum Gives Reasons To Be Hopeful – OpEd
Aug 18, 2014: CNN: Ron Paul defends Rick Perry, calls indictment 'a joke'
Ron Paul is no fan of Gov. Rick Perry, but the three-time presidential candidate is coming to the side of his fellow Lone Star State Republican.
June 10, 2014: IVN: Rand Paul and Ron Paul Divided on Election Strategy in Miss. Senate Race
Politico reports that U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has decided to stay out of the Mississippi U.S. Senate primary runoff race between state Senator Chris McDaniel and U.S. Senator Thad Cochran. The low turnout expected in the summer runoff election will give McDaniel an opportunity to unseat the incumbent.
May 5, 2014: KFBK: It's not racist to hate government
But contra William Faulkner, there are signs that the past is finally becoming past. Certainly there's no credible way to mistake the contemporary libertarian agenda for the second coming of Thurmond. That's true even after the 2008 revelation by James Kirchick of newsletters published under Ron Paul's name in the 1980s and '90s that were filled with racist and homophobic material. Paul, who served decades in Congress as a libertarian-leaning Republican and ran for president in 1988 on the Libertarian Party ticket, is without question the politician most responsible for the boom in limited-government and libertarian rhetoric.
June 14, 2012: Info Wars: Chuck Baldwin Warns Ron Paul
During an interview on Alex Jones' Nightly News, Pastor Chuck Baldwin concisely dissected Rand Paul's endorsement of establishment candidate Mitt Romney and gauged its negative impact on the Ron Paul revolution.
Jan 3, 2012: Lew Rockwell: Bearing Drift Blog Attacks Ron Paul for No Reason…
…and, frankly, I don't understand it. This Virginia-specific conservative blog features a post today that seems to be saying that Dr. Paul's positions include interfering in the health care market, creating moral hazards, promoting housing bubbles, and forcing young people to continue to support the social security Ponzi scheme.
May 22, 1996: Dallas Morning News Candidate's comments on blacks questioned:
Dr. Ron Paul, a Republican congressional candidate from Texas, wrote in his political newsletter in 1992 that 95 percent of the black men in Washington, D.C., are "semi-criminal or entirely criminal." He also wrote that black teenagers can be "unbelievably fleet of foot."
Oct 23, 2007: Politico: Redstate.com bans new Ron Paul supporters
The ubiquitous and web-savvy supporters of Ron Paul now have one less forum in which to vent their rage.
The influential conservative blog Redstate.com placed a ban last night on all Paul commentary from readers who are recent arrivals to the blog.
Paul's followers are angry that the Libertarian congressman can't seem to get traction in national polls as he bids for the Republican presidential nomination.
Paul — a representative from Texas who ran for president in 1988 on the Libertarian Party ticket — remains mired in the low single digits.
The post on Redstate, "Attention, Ron Paul Supporters (Life is *REALLY* Not Fair)," begins, "Effective immediately, new users may *not* shill for Ron Paul in any way shape, form or fashion.....................
Dec 22, 2012: WND'S 'Man of the Decade' is Ron Paul: "Honoring one of the most inspiring and principled political careers in contemporary American politics, culminating in an extraordinary "farewell address" upon his recent announced retirement from the House of Representatives, WND has named U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, as its "Man of the Decade."
"And I bet if we asked the Ukrainians, a vast majority of them would prefer that the US — and Russia and the European Union — stay out their affairs and respect their sovereignty. Is it so difficult to understand why people resent being lectured and bribed by foreign governments? All we need to do is put ourselves in the place of the Ukrainians and ask ourselves how we would feel if we were in the middle of a tug-of-war between a very strong Canada on one side and a very strong Mexico on the other. We would resent it as well. So let's keep our hands off of Ukraine and let them solve their own problems!"
 --Ron Paul ("Leave Ukraine alone!")
Dec 19, 2022 Op/Ed:
"As we learn more and more from the "Twitter Files," it is becoming all too obvious that Federal agencies such as the FBI viewed the First Amendment of our Constitution as an annoyance and an impediment. In Friday's release from the pre-Musk era, journalist Matt Taibbi makes an astute observation: Twitter was essentially an FBI subsidiary.
The FBI, we now know, was obsessed with Twitter. We learned that agents sent Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth some 150 emails between 2020 and 2022. Those emails regularly featured demands from US government officials for the "private" social media company to censor comments and ban commenters they did not like. ..........We do not need the FBI and CIA and other federal agencies viewing us as the enemy and attacking our Constitution. End the Fed…and End the Federal Bureau of Investigation!"
Jan 9, 2023: Op/Ed by Paul:
"Tax reform proponents also complain that the current tax code contains too many loopholes that cause economic distortions and inefficiencies. It is true that the current tax system promotes inefficiency, but this is caused by the income tax itself, not the loopholes. Conversely, loopholes actually promote economic efficiency by giving taxpayers the ability to spend more of their money the way they prefer, rather than allowing politicians to spend it. As economist Thomas DiLorenzo put it, "private individuals always spend their own money more efficiently than government bureaucrats do................Some have expressed concerns that the use of President Trump's tax records as part of the Democrat and Deep State effort to discredit him sets a dangerous precedent that will lead to increased use of tax information as a political weapon. The sad fact is that ever since its creation, politicians have used the IRS as a tool for punishing political opponents. As an IRS agent told the head of conservative organization who was being audited after calling for the impeachment of then-President Bill Clinton, "What do you expect when you target the President?"...............The major problem with the income tax, and the reason it must be eliminated, not merely "reformed," is that it is rooted in the idea that the government has first claim on our income. This idea is incompatible with a free society. Furthermore, the income tax must also be repealed because the force of the IRS, along with the fraud of the Federal Reserve, is one of the two foundations of the welfare-warfare state that erodes our liberty and prosperity. The only way to avoid 1984 is to repeal 1913."

The first public release of MorphAdorner—version 0.9, released April 3, 2009—is now available. There's full documentation, too. Congratulations and many thanks to Phil Burns – this is great news.
I discussed MorphAdorner as part of my series of posts on part-of-speech taggers a couple of months back, and will be using it for much of my upcoming work.
My understanding is that Phil intends to leave MorphAdorner mostly as-is for the time being, unless it's taken up by another project; MONK has been funding current development, I think, and it (MONK) is winding down. Which reminds me: A public version of the MONK workbench, with a bevy of analytical tools and access to several thousand texts across four-plus centuries, should be available soon. Will post here when it's up, though I'm not involved in making that happen.


Change is a predominant force in healthcare and not only must healthcare organizations plan for shifts resulting from administration changes, they must also navigate the dynamic landscape of new and evolving payment models and mechanisms for capturing and billing for services - such as with the implementation of ICD-IO-CM (ICD-10). For healthcare executives, and the lawyers and consultants who assist them, the big questions are how will these changes in personnel affect fraud and abuse enforcement by the federal government, and more broadly how within this regulatory environment can they successfully adjust to the new payment models and reimbursement mechanisms. As we describe below, it would appear that, based on recent events, most, if not all of the trends that began in the Obama administration and earlier will continue.

The Top 7 Art Exhibitions to see in London this week 25/03/18
By Tabish Khan • 25 March 2018
Art critic Tabish Khan brings you 'The Top 7 Art Exhibitions to see in London' this week. Each one comes with a concise review to help you decide whether it's for you:
Marcus Coates @ Workplace
Artist Marcus Coates shouts out human achievements from the ballpoint pen to the United Nations. However, he's shouting them at the ocean which clearly doesn't care and makes our achievements seem trivial when faced with the scale of the natural world. He also crafts an apology to be read out by the mayor of an island to apologise for the hunting to extinction of the great auk. It's a quirky and fun take on environmentalist art. Until 14 April.
Nancy Rubins: Diversifolia @ Gagosian, Brittania street
A deer, a zebra and a crocodile are entwined together using steel wire — they point out in all directions as if being ejected out by an explosion. It's all based on garden ornaments and it looks spectacular as the natural world descends into chaos. Until 14 Apr.
Living with Gods @ The British Museum
This is a fantastic whirlwind tour of the world's faiths as we see how a simple theme like water is treated very differently between Islam and Native American religions. The show is filled with beautiful objects and I learned so much about religions I wasn't aware of. An enlightening exhibition in more ways than one. Until 8 April.
Slowing time @ Rosenfeld Porcini
In our fast paced world it's sometimes nice to slow down and engage with works you have to spend time with to reap the rewards. That's definitely the case in this exhibition where the subtle mark marking and gradations of colour would be missed in a quick glance, and it's unlikely that phone cameras can catch it. Don't Instagram it, just stare intently and let the work reach out to you. Until 7 April.
Ayurvedic Man: Encounters with Indian medicine @ Wellcome Collection
Ayurveda is a branch of traditional Indian medicine and this show looks at it through beautiful anatomical drawings of the chakras and shows how this branch of medicine evolved as it interacted with foreign visitors and the knowledge they brought. Clean living was a big part of Ayurveda and this gives it a lot of relevance given the tie into well-being practised today. I love how Wellcome Collection always gives us thought provoking exhibitions and this is another great example. Until 8 April.
Andrew Gifford @ John Martin
Painter Andrew Gifford beautifully captures the colour, bustle and energy of India in his solo show. The day and night views of Paharganj bazaar are magnificent, teeming with hundreds of people blurring into dynamic splashes of colour. Until 7 April.
Ena Swansea @ Ben Brown
These large scale paintings have fantastic depth to them, whether we're looking through trees or at marching soldiers. The use of graphite and its reflective properties enhances the perpsective and it's a fantastic effect. Until 12 April.

The human transcriptome is so large, diverse and dynamic that, even after a decade of investigation by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), we are yet to resolve its true dimensions. RNA-Seq suffers from an expression-dependent bias that impedes characterization of low-abundance transcripts. We performed targeted single-molecule and short-read RNA-Seq to survey the transcriptional landscape of a single human chromosome (Hsa21) at unprecedented resolution. Our analysis reaches the lower limits of the transcriptome, identifying a fundamental distinction between protein-coding and noncoding gene content: almost every noncoding exon undergoes alternative splicing, producing a seemingly limitless variety of isoforms. Analysis of syntenic regions of the mouse genome shows that few noncoding exons are shared between human and mouse, yet human splicing profiles are recapitulated on Hsa21 in mouse cells, indicative of regulation by a deeply conserved splicing code. We propose that noncoding exons are functionally modular, with alternative splicing generating an enormous repertoire of potential regulatory RNAs and a rich transcriptional reservoir for gene evolution.

10 years in, Shurat Hadin fights Iranian terrorism and BDS in international courts
By admin|2019-03-11T15:04:52+03:00נובמבר 10th, 2013|Categories: news (he), Post_Category_Rubin v. Cubic Defense, Post_Category_Rubin v. Islamic Republic of Iran|0 Comments
November 10, 2013 – Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, head of Shurat Hadin-Israel Law Center, has come a long way in her personal battle against terrorism and against BDS activities since her first appearance, as a law student, before the High Court of Justice nearly 20 years ago.
Recalling her first experience as a legal activist, Leitner said that she and a few other Bar- Ilan students had filed a petition to the High Court to block a man who had been involved in a kidnapping operation from entering Gaza to vote on the Oslo Accords. Chuckling, Leitner said that she got to make the argument before the court because the others said that since she was a woman, the court would "not yell at her" or "make us pay court costs" on a petition that stood little chance of success.
Following five years performing more "typical" private sector legal work – though she still did some pro bono work with terror victims and battered women – Leitner founded Shurat Hadin in 2002.
The organization is most famous for winning hundredmillion- dollar judgments against countries like Iran, Syria and North Korea, by using laws like the US Antiterrorism Act to go after the assets of organizations and states connected with terror attacks that killed or harmed US citizens in Israel. Leitner said that such action, on the part of Shurat Hadin and others, has proven so successful that terror funding has moved out of the US, France and Germany to new countries like Thailand.
Shurat Hadin's most recent and high-profile case on that front is representing a group of victims and families of victims in a case against the Bank of China. The case – also being pursued in parallel by the Wultz family – concerns terror attacks perpetrated between 2004 and 2007 in Israel, in which, starting in 2003, the Bank of China is implicated in allegedly executing dozens of wire transfers for Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad totaling several million dollars.
Uzi Shaya, a former government agent, is due to respond this month about whether or not he will testify in the case.
Shaya had planned to testify, and even filed an affidavit about a 2005 meeting he had with Bank of China representatives to prove that they were on notice for the terror-related money transfers.
But according to Leitner, the current government pressured Shaya about testifying a couple of months ago, ahead of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's trip to China and amid major business developments between the two countries.
A US court in the Southern District of New York demanded that the Justice Ministry give a final answer about whether it would permit Shaya to testify, and Shaya himself set a late November deadline for the state to decide its position.
Shurat Hadin also recently assisted Sherri Wise in her unprecedented lawsuit against Iran in Canada under its new antiterrorism laws. A lower court denied Wise an opportunity to go after Iran's Canadian assets, since there were American terror victims who had already won their cases against Iran before she was able to start. However, a Canadian appeals court reversed that decision in mid-October, and now Wise may have a chance to share in dividing up Iran's Canadian assets.
Leitner told a legal "war story" from 2004, in which she locked down $500 million in Iranian assets in Italy.
Whereas Iran has not shown up to defend lawsuits against it in the US, when such large funds were at stake, dozens of lawyers showed up to fight to free the funds. Although Iran got the funds temporarily freed up long enough to transfer them out of the country, it was another example of Shurat Hadin harming Iran's freedom of operations in terror financing.
Since its founding, Shurat Hadin has also been involved in fighting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel, and took legal actions that prevented some ships from setting sail which were intended to join flotillas trying to break the blockade on Hamas in Gaza.
Leitner said that BDS arose from the "enemies of Israel seeing they cannot beat Israel conventionally, not in wars" and expanding to "lawfare, attacking Israel in public opinion – a more sophisticated and more deadly attack" since they seem to be "acting within civilization, and BDS can be defended by free speech principles and seems legitimate."
On October 30, Shurat Hadin filed a class action lawsuit with the Federal Court of Australia under the Racial Discrimination Act of 1975, over Sydney University Prof.
Jake Lynch's participation and public support of boycotts of Israel. The lawsuit cited Lynch's refusal to submit to the jurisdiction of the Australian Human Rights Commission, with whom Shurat Hadin had filed a complaint in late July.
Shurat Hadin also made headlines in recent months with a Facebook campaign that successfully gathered testimonies for bringing cases at the International Criminal Court against Palestinian Authority leaders should they decide to bring cases against Israelis.
Leitner also takes credit for forcing down a Facebook page with connections to the Iranian government, following a "threat letter" to Facebook to initiate a lawsuit if the page remained. While Facebook did not respond, Leitner confirmed that the page had been taken down.
With its success, Shurat Hadin has also grown from a handful of young lawyers going into credit card debt to stay afloat, to around 10 lawyers and additional administrative staff. Shurat Hadin now runs student internship programs at various times of year, and works with local counsel in several countries.
Somehow in all of this, Leitner said she still finds time, with some hired help, to raise six children, and deals with such matters as "attending parent-teacher conferences, fighting for my children when needed and making sure they do their homework."

Like thousands of other people in the energy industry, cheap oil prices have killed Steven Newman's job.
Newman abruptly stepped down this week as president and CEO of Transocean (RIG), the huge offshore drilling company that has been slammed by the decline in crude oil prices.
Transocean said the company and Newman "mutually agreed" to part ways. In 2013, he made nearly $14 million in total compensation as CEO.
While departing CEOs often keep their board seats, Newman is also quitting as a Transocean director. Transocean declined to comment on the nature of Newman's departure beyond the company's official statement.
Turmoil in the oil business: Depressed oil prices -- which went from over $100 in July to under $50 in January -- have forced companies to slash spending on expensive activities like arctic exploration, some shale drilling and the deepwater exploration Transocean specializes in. It's been very bad timing for Transocean, which had recently ramped up spending on expensive drilling rigs.
A slew of energy companies have also announced major layoffs, including Halliburton (HAL), Weatherford International (WFT) and Schlumberger (SLB).
The Transocean shakeup makes Newman one of the highest-profile CEOs to leave during the recent turmoil in the energy industry. The leaders of Apache (APA) and Kinder Morgan (KMI) have also stepped down.
Dividend gets the ax: Transocean shares plummeted as much as 68% since oil prices began tumbling in June. They've bounced back a bit in recent weeks, along with the price of oil, but remain at levels unseen since 2003.
The financial turmoil has also caused Transocean to slash its coveted dividend by 80% to 60 cents a share. The move is aimed at conserving cash but marks another setback for investors who have come to rely on a steady stream of dividend payouts from energy companies.
With oil hovering at just $55 a barrel, energy companies are cutting back on the deepwater rental rigs owned by Transocean that can cost $500,000 per day.
The company said Ian Strachan, its chairman and a former ExxonMobil (XOM) exec, will serve as interim CEO until a permanent replacement can be found.
Transocean gained national attention in 2010 because it owned the oil rig at the heart of the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In 2014 a judge ruled that Transocean was negligent in the disaster, which caused the death of 11 workers and the spilling of nearly 5 million barrels of oil.


Original Content: Why Can't I Shop In Both Places?
A Facebook friend linked to an old Slate article called Don't Support Your Local Bookseller. It has the kind of title guaranteed to attract irate readers.
The good point the author makes is one that I find few people want to discuss--the cost of books. There are people who truly can't afford to buy much in the way of full-price, hard cover books or even your classier paperbacks. Your really serious readers need to get their hands on a lot of books. How many of those people can support a local bookseller for all their reading needs? Making books available at more affordable prices and whenever readers want to buy them, as Amazon and Barnes & Noble do, makes books more available. It encourages the sale of books, and it encourages reading.
Having said that, I did have a great independent bookstore experience while on retreat last week. Our cross-country ski spot was suffering from weather shock--too warm and too rainy. Trails were closed almost all week, and we never took our skis out of the car. I was worried about running out of reading material, which was ridiculous because I always overpack books and magazines. So we wandered down the mountain to Bear Pond Books, where I browsed and, yes, stumbled upon what was a perfect book match for me, Jo Walton's Farthing. I'd never heard of Walton, and I believe I'd never read an alternative history story. But what this book does is mash together the mid-twentieth century British Scotland Yard detective story, along with the British country estate story, and the British World War II story, all of which I've been known to enjoy over the years, and puts them into that alternative history world. This was kind of a custom made book for me, and it is unlikely I would have found it on Amazon.
Farthing is the first in a three-book series, and I'm interested in picking up the others. Is that great for that author? Yes. Is it great for her publisher? I hope so. And, yes, it's because of the classic independent bookstore experience.
But you know what? I may end up getting them through Amazon. And not just because I can get them cheaper there and may decide to purchase them for my Kindle. An equally important reason is that I have to go quite a way to find an independent bookstore. That one I visited during retreat week? It's five hours from here. Limiting myself to independent bookstores means limiting book purchases, both because of price and because those stores are few and far between in these parts.
Good independent bookstores provide a wonderful shopping experience for readers. But let's face reality. Amazon provides a good, though different, shopping experience, too.
If an independent store is good, it's as if you're wandering around someone's personal collection of books, rather than displays of what's being buzzed about right now. Which is why I sometimes stumble upon something at those places. They really do seem different from Amazon and the B&N stores.
But I've been in indies that were pushing the same old, same old, too, or were half gift shops so that there wasn't enough book stock to make browsing worthwhile.
I like your balanced, realistic perspective on this, Gail. My husband and I wandered into an independent bookstore right before Christmas, when we were early for a dinner reservation in San Francisco. I discovered a new book by an author that I enjoyed, that I hadn't known about, and various others, and left with a big bag of books. But I also thumbed through some books that I plan to get on my Kindle, because I don't need to have physical copies to keep, and there's a $ and convenience factor.
I do try to buy things whenever I am in an independent bookstore (or B&N, for that matter, because I don't really want them to go out of business either). But on a day to day basis, when I want something right away, and I don't want to leave the comfort of my own house ... Amazon is pretty nice.
"But on a day to day basis, when I want something right away, and I don't want to leave the comfort of my own house ... Amazon is pretty nice" And we are still supporting authors and publishers when we shop on Amazon.
I just ordered the next book in the Farthing series for my Kindle so I can start reading it tonight. In a few minutes, in fact. It could be weeks before I can get to even a Barnes & Noble (I agree--not good if that chain goes under.), and I don't know if the book I just bought would be on the shelf there.
I agree - that's why I shop at Powells rather than our closer indy - ours like a frou-frou Barnes & Nobel. More frou-frou than just a coffee bar, with the literary action figures, embroidered pillows and tchotchkes all over. I rarely find anything, and often feel frustrated, because aren't I supposed to be preferring them?
You make some really good points about something I obsess over, and I think I'm going to stop being ridiculous about Amazon more often.
You know you can order online from most any indie bookseller. So if the problem is that they're 5 hours away, just check out their website.

Q: Does using this() in Java create more recursive instances of an object? If I have a constructor
public class Sample {

    public static StackOverflowQuestion puzzled;
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        puzzled = new StackOverflowQuestion(4);
    }
}

and inside the main method of a program i have
public class StackOverflowQuestion {

    public StackOverflowQuestion(){
    //does code
    }

    public StackOverflowQuestion(int a){
    this();
   }
}

Is this creating an instance of StackOverflowQuestion via constructor2 and then creating another instance of StackOverflowQuestion via constructor 1 and therefore i now have two instances of StackOverflowQuestion directly inside each other?
Or does constructor2 in this case kind of laterally adjust and then instead create an instance of StackOverflowQuestion via constructor1 ?

A: I think you mean:
public class StackOverflowQuestion
{

    public StackOverflowQuestion(){ // constructor
       //does code
    }

    public StackOverflowQuestion(int a){ // another constructor
       this();
    }
}

And call it like:
StackOverflowQuestion puzzled = new StackOverflowQuestion(4);

This will only create one object, because new is executed only once. The call this() will execute the code in the other constructor without creating a new object. The code in that constructor is able to modify the currently created instance.

A: It only creates one instance. One use case of it is to give default values for constructor parameters:
public class StackOverflowQuestion
{
    public StackOverflowQuestion(int a) {
        /* initialize something using a */
    }

    public StackOverflowQuestion() {
        this(10); // Default: a = 10
    }
}

A: A constructor does not create an object. It just initializes the state of the object. It's the new operator which creates the object. Read through Creation of New Class Instance - JLS. Now what does this mean :
public class StackOverflowQuestion
{

   public StackOverflowQuestion(){ // constructor
      //does code
  }

  public StackOverflowQuestion(int a){ // another constructor
     this();
  }
}

 StackOverflowQuestion puzzled = new StackOverflowQuestion(4);

A new object of StackOverflowQuestion is created by the new operator, just before a reference to the newly created object is returned as the result and assigned to the StackOverflowQuestion puzzled reference variable , the constructor StackOverflowQuestion(int a) makes a call to this() i.e. public StackOverflowQuestion(), code(if any) inside the default constructor runs and the control comes back to  `StackOverflowQuestion(int a), the remaining code(if any) inside that is processed to initialize the new object.

A: this() is not the same as new StackOverflowQuestion()
this(5) is not the same as new StackOverflowQuestion(5)
this() and this(5) calls another constructor in the same class.
Therefore in this example:
public class StackOverflowQuestion
{
    private int x;
    private int y;
    private int a;

    public StackOverflowQuestion(){
       this.x = 1;
       this.y = 2;
    }

    public StackOverflowQuestion(int a){
       this();
       this.a = a;
    }
}

The call to this() will just initialize the object and not create a new instance. Remember new StackOverflowQuestion(5) has been called already invoking the constructor which actually creates a new instance of the StackOverflowQuestion object

A: The instance of a class is created at the moment you use the "new" operator.  It is perfectly possible to create a class without constructors, because in that case, by default, the constructor with no parameters is available.
The "this" keyword just points to THIS specific object, so calling "this()" means "call my own constructor function, the one without parameters and execute what's inside"

Newton's Second Law is the backbone of Physics I. You have learned about accelerations and kinematics. Most textbooks avoid mentioning what is causing those accelerations during the chapters on kinematics. Newton's First Law let us know that forces cause things to accelerate. Newton's Second Law tells us how forces and accelerations are related.
By working through this course, you will begin to understand Newton's Second Law. Then you can apply it in situations where multiple forces are applied to a single object. We will start by looking at one dimensional examples, then progress to two dimensions.

I was watching your damped harmonics video on youtube. I have a problem where I want to create a drive file for matlab. However it is a amplified problem. My electrical engineering teacher doesn't know how the physical system works and I am at a Junior college. I am trying to make a sine or cosine function that would emulate a "4 post" rig suspension input. SO something on the order of f(x)=Ae^(-2x)cos(wprime(x)+phi). Also an explanation of what the values are would be great. ie " where -2 = the damping coefficient etc. So I can source the correct inputs. I JUST finished math 111 and I am starting 112. The function would look the opposite. So starting with low amplitude and going to high on the range of 0(or 1) to 20 hz on the x axis.
Adding a driver makes things a bit more complicated. Essentially, though, you are adding a driven term to the final solution. That term should look like Bcos(omega2*t-phi2). Here, B is the amplitude of the driver, omega2 is the angular frequency of the driver (close to the oscillator's) and phi2 is a phase angle for the driver.

Facebook is an "innovator in privacy," says Guy Who, who runs Facebook

Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg likes to suggest that all criticism of his global social media empire comes from either misinformed or malicious individuals. In fact, Facebook is really all about protecting the privacy of its users! This is the line he adopted in an interview with Harvard Law on Wednesday, said Professor Jonathan Zittrain, CNBC.
In the interview, Zuckerberg acknowledges that the status of "Facebook's innovator in privacy" is "certainly not the mainstream viewpoint", which could certainly be described as an understatement. He argued that Facebook, whose business model is based on absorbing as much data as possible about its users, actually provides only secure public communication technologies:
"To consider Facebook as an innovator in privacy is certainly not the mainstream view," Zuckerberg said during the recorded conversation, which was publicly released on Wednesday. "But back to the very first thing we did, so that Harvard students could communicate with each other in such a way that they were sure that their content and information could only be shared with people within that community. There was no way for people to communicate things on this scale, but not be either completely public or as small as before.
This is more than ridiculous: One of Facebook's biggest controversies last year, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, just happened because the social media giant app developers are getting large amounts of data from millions of users without their knowledge or consent can. The co-founder of the Secure Chat Service and the Facebook subsidiary WhatsApp, Jan Koum, left the company last year. Concern Zuckerberg and the crew were planning to reduce end-to-end encryption to reduce user credentials.
Zuckerberg continued: [19659004] "When we talk about privacy, I think that many issues often relate to privacy and legal or political issues," Zuckerberg said. "However, I think there is another element that is really fundamental. People want an instrument that communicates new contexts for communication. In addition, it's essentially about giving people power through privacy, not just not to hurt privacy. "
Recall that Facebook creates secret databases of user contact information, including content that users have never voluntarily submitted , It also tracks the web activity of people who have logged out of their accounts, and even non-users.
An app, Onavo, was distributed, which was advertised as a virtual private network, a kind of service that allegedly shields users' web traffic through external control. Instead, Onavo monitored devices to send usage information directly to Facebook. It has also paid off for teenagers to install an Onavo-like app on their phones so they can track their behavior with virtually unlimited permissions.
"All the success that Facebook had is a kind of engaging thing because we've given people new private or semi-private ways to communicate things they did not have before," he said.
The claim that an insight is "not catchy" is a time-honored method of stating that this is actually much more intelligent, and thus more true than another conclusion, but that does not make it true Facebook is successful because it has an enormous number of Selling online ads, a massively lucrative and growing market, Facebook's share of the US digital ad market is set to rise to 22.1 percent in 2019, according to AdWeek, part of a functional duopoly that it works with Google accused of monopolistic behavior and theft of features of emerging competitors in order to drive their own growth.
If the success of Facebook is based on privacy, It is strange that the vast majority of its users have no idea how the targeted advertising business works. According to surveys by the Pew Research Center, just over half said they were "not very or not at all comfortable" about insights into their behavior and interests. In any case, it's clear that Facebook and its executives are doing so. They've been troubled by plunging polls on user trusts – and they're using their best rhetorical Möbius loops and repetitive buzz words to put the ghost in the bottle.
to push. That will not change, but there are always new ways to constantly justify themselves.

NLRB opens employer e-mail systems to union organizers, campaigning
December 17, 2014 Concrete News
Sources: National Labor Relations Board; CP staff
NLRB has adopted a final Representation–Case Procedures rule to modernize and streamline representation dispute resolution, Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce noting: "With these changes, the Board strives to ensure [the] process remains a model of fairness and efficiency for all."
The rule is effective mid-April 2015 and, the agency contends:
Provides for electronic filing and transmission of election petitions and other documents;
Ensures employees, employers and unions receive timely information they need to understand and participate in the representation case process;
Eliminates or reduces unnecessary litigation, duplication and delay;
Adopts best practices and uniform procedures across regions;
Requires that additional contact information (personal telephone numbers and e-mail addresses) be included in voter lists, to the extent that information is available to the employer; and,
Allows parties to consolidate all election-related appeals to the Board into a single process.
"This is the Board's second attempt to implement sweeping changes to representation election procedures, and it again reflects pro-labor leanings," counters Workforce Freedom Initiative Director, Research & Legislative Affairs Sean Redmond in a U.S. Chamber of Commerce post. "It is intended to eviscerate employers' legal rights and hamstring their ability to respond to union organizing efforts in any meaningful way."
After receipt of election petition, he adds, the rule requires a) pre-election hearing within eight days, and b) the employer to submit a "Statement of Position" within seven days. Failure to raise a particular issue in the filing precludes the employer from presenting related evidence—or cross-examining a witness—at the representation hearing. That raises due process concerns, especially for small businesses that may not have legal counsel.
Representation-Case Procedures also limits the issues and evidence that can be presented at a pre-election hearing, which may leave questions unresolved prior to balloting, including matters no less than who is eligible to vote for union representation. Finally, Redmond explains, the rule eliminates the employer's ability to appeal Regional Directors' pre-election decisions, plus the current 25-day "grace period" between the end of the hearing and election. This will accelerate the election process and make it difficult for workers to get balanced information about unions.
Provisions affording unions employee e-mail addresses are on top of measures stemming from a decision the NLRB announced the day before Representation-Case Procedures. In Purple Communications, the agency determined that employees can use company e-mail systems to circulate union materials.

Overseas investment review - phase two released
James Gibson
David Coull
Andrew Petersen
Glenn Shewan
Luke Becker
ARTICLE26 May 2019
Today the Government launched its public consultation document on the 'second phase' of its Overseas Investment Act 2005 (the Act) reforms (as foreshadowed in ). This second round of reform is focused on ensuring New Zealand remains an attractive destination for high-quality productive overseas investment and ensuring such investments are in the national interest by:
reducing unnecessary complexity and ensuring compliance costs are proportionate to the risks associated with the investment; and
examining ways to better ensure that overseas investment is consistent with New Zealand's national interest.
Bell Gully is pleased to see the Government undertaking such a comprehensive review, having previously advocated for a number of the proposals that the Government is considering. The consultation includes issues relating to land that adjoins sensitive land, the treatment of NZX-listed companies and fundamentally New Zealand entities, and exemptions for small ownership interest changes.
The second phase of reform follows the changes made to the Act in late 2018 which simplified forestry investments and banned the purchase of residential property by overseas persons.
Below we take a brief look at the key areas and issues that the Government is considering as part of its public consultation. Details about the proposed changes being considered can be found in the here.
Bell Gully is in the process of preparing to submit a written submission responding to the public consultation document and welcomes input from its clients and interested persons in the business community prior to 24 May 2019.
Area 1: What assets require consent?
Treasury is reviewing whether it is appropriate to:
a) continue to classify land that adjoins land with sensitive characteristics as "sensitive"; and
b) whether the three-year lease threshold for a relevant "interest" in sensitive land is too low.
Bell Gully would welcome changes to both of these matters as they currently result in a number of transactions requiring OIO consent that, on their face, do not impact the ownership or control of "sensitive" New Zealand assets.
Area 2: Who needs consent?
To improve the Act's efficiency, Treasury is reviewing whether it remains appropriate for certain body corporates to fall within the definition of "overseas person", as well as other quality of life changes relating to technical consent triggers. Specifically, it is considering the Act's treatment of:
a) companies with strong connections to New Zealand (such as NZX-listed companies or New Zealand incorporated companies that are majority owned and controlled by New Zealanders) that currently qualify as overseas persons for technical reasons;
b) passive portfolio investors who do not obtain majority ownership or meaningful control of sensitive New Zealand assets;
c) an overseas person acquiring a small ownership interest in an entity that holds sensitive land or fishing quota, whereby the acquisition makes the target entity an overseas person, requiring the acquirer to obtain consent under the Act; and
d) small incremental investments that increase an existing 25% ownership interest in an overseas person.
Area 3: Changes to how the Act screens investments in sensitive assets
Treasury is considering amending the "investor test" (which all applicants must satisfy) by potentially narrowing the scope of the good character assessment (e.g. by removing the "whether convicted or not" disclosure requirement, or introducing a bright-line checklist style assessment) and potentially removing the requirement for New Zealanders to satisfy the investor test.
We are very pleased to see the OIO reviewing the investor test as it currently results in significant compliance costs for applicants and can lead to unintended outcomes (e.g. where an overseas company fails to satisfy the 'good character test' because of good character issues with one of its New Zealand JV partners).
Treasury has also proposed a number of options around the current "benefit to New Zealand" test. These include:
a) retaining the existing benefit to New Zealand test with some tweaks to allow the decision makers to consider other factors such as national security or any negative impacts of the investment;
b) streamlining the benefit to New Zealand test, but giving the deciding Ministers one of two potential powers:
a narrow power that allows Ministers to deny consent for investments that pose a risk of substantial harm to things like public health and safety; or
a broader power to allow Ministers to only provide consent in more sensitive transactions if they are in the national interest, and to allow Ministers to consider both the positive and negative impacts of an investment. Sensitive transactions could include investments in a strategically important industry or activity, critical infrastructure and any asset where the applicant is a "foreign government" or associate; or
c) completely removing the benefit to New Zealand test, and replacing it with a new "national interest" which would apply to all sensitive assets (not just sensitive land) with full discretion for the deciding Ministers to decide whether or not the transaction is in New Zealand's national interest. The issues that would form part of the national interest would be left open to be determined by the Ministers on a case by case basis, and could include:
economic or other benefits;
any risks to national security, public safety, international relations or other national interests;
the extent to which risks can be mitigated by consent conditions or other legislation; and
any other matters that they consider relevant, such as the investment's environmental or cultural implications.
We are pleased to see consideration being given to simplifying the benefit to New Zealand test which is complex and in some cases onerous for investors to satisfy. However, we are concerned about the impact of completely removing that test and replacing it with a national interest test where the Ministers have a broad discretion without any guidance or parameters around the exercise of that discretion. This has the potential to create even more uncertainty for investors than the current benefit to New Zealand process. We can see merit in having some additional power for the Ministers to take into account national security and public health and safety concerns, in line with the trend happening offshore.

Language: history & general works
Last Lingua Franca
Brand/Author: Ostler, Nicholas
Format :Ebook (ePub)
Publisher :Penguin Books Ltd
In this provocative and persuasive new book, Nicholas Ostler challenges our assumption that English will continue to dominate as the global lingua franca. Drawing on his encyclopaedic knowledge of world languages and their history, Ostler reveals that just as past great languages like Latin and Sanskrit have died out, so English will follow. The influence of English now is hard to exaggerate - it is the world's preferred medium for business, science and entertainment, and is claimed to be a basic educational tool like mathematics or computing. So is it here to stay? For the last four centuries, the dominant world power has been English-speaking, but the global balance of power is shifting. And in countries like Brazil, Russia and China, English plays no part in the national tradition. Although globalization has helped the rise of English, trade, migration, economic development and technological innovation are now changing the way we access and use language. Ostler shows how we are headed towards a much more multilingual and diverse future. And as English retreats, no single language will take its place. We can embrace this future but first we need to accept it: the last competitive advantage of native English-speakers will soon be consigned to history.

You are in: Home > Places > W E Doubleday, Kinoulton, Nottinghamshire Guardian (1946)
Elizabeth and John Sothill, who as was stated last week, successfully resisted a relative's claim to their manor at Kinoulton, demised it to the notorious Sir R. Empson for life, and his daughter wedded the Sothill heir, but upon the accession of Henry VIII Empson was to the joy of the nation beheaded. Joan, daughter of Sir John Rocliffe and his Empson wife, inherited the lordship and took it in marriage to Sir John Constable, making their seat at Kinoulton.
Upon Sir John's decease in 1500 these lands and tenements descended to their daughters, Cecily, whose second husband was an Oglethorpe, and Anne, who married Sir Anthony Thorold.
Once again the property passed by female descent for Anthony's daughter, to whom it descended, wedded George Clifton, their son was "Sir Gervase the gentle," who purchased the Oglethorpe share, and, becoming lord of almost the whole of the village, lived until 1587.
Meanwhile others obtained portions of the parish. Richard Truthall died in 1512, seized of a toft and 60a of pasture, some of which he had enclosed by 1492. Sir Thomas Kitson, of London, acquired the manor of Colston Basset, and with it valuable appurtenances, and Thomas Hutchinson, who had already a parcel of land, held from Kitson three enclosures of meadow on lease for 40 years dating from 1532. In 1539 Sir Thomas sued "John Truthayl, gentleman," for detention of property deeds and in the following year Harold Rosell purchased Herteswell Grange, late of Swineshead Abbey, passing it three days later to Sir John Constable. Sir Bryan Stapleton, at his death in 1550, had property here pertaining to his manor of Bingham, and in that year "William Hutchinson, yeoman, of Owthorpe," left bequests to neighbouring villages, the poor of Kinoulton receiving 4s. The Hutchinsons were destined to figure prominently in the local annals in the following century.
KINOULTON PALACE?
Local tradition has it that "the Bishop" meaning Archbishop Cranmer who was martyred in 1553, had a, palace at Kinoulton in which he resided as Bishop of Llandaff. We are told that it stood close beside the old church on the hill, that it was subsequently converted into a grange, and that about 150 years ago, its stone path to the church was uncovered.
Local legends sometimes embody facts otherwise lost, but in this instance, any factual basis for the story is deeply overlaid with fiction. Cranmer never held the Welsh see and, if the county had more ecclesiastical palaces than those at Southwell, Scrooby and Laneham, something would be known of them. It is perhaps possible to see how the tradition arose. "Cranmere" was an old local field-name and the archbishop was born at Aslockton not far away.
If there were palaces at Southwell, Scrooby and Laneham why not one here, and, if so, was not Cranmer to be linked with it? Moreover, when Swineshead Abbey was suppressed in 1539, Harold Rosell had purchased its grange—Herteswell Grange—promptly selling it to Sir John Constable, and, Harold had married Cranmer's sister. Here then, were the ingredients for the tradition; distorted memory has muddled them up and hence the tale. The building in question may well have been an ancient manor-house which, as was so often the case, descended to the status of a farmstead, or it may have been the home of the local servants of the monks of. Swineshead.
IN ELIZABETH'S TIME.
Under Elizabeth, the Kitson property went, with Colston Basset manor, by sale to the Goldings; the Hutchinsons had a farm, doubtless at Lodge; the Hackers had a messuage with land, and a farm which had belonged to Thurgarton Priory was sold to two laymen by the Queen. The villagers lived up to the tradition of "Merrie England" for it maintained a company of dancers which entertained the district and in 1572 performed before the mayor at Nottingham for which it was rewarded with 12d.
A record of 1602 tells of a wedding celebrated in the church without banns or licence at 4 o'clock in the morning. The bridegroom paid the parson 6s. 8d. and no inconvenient questions were asked.
During succeeding generations other hasty weddings were celebrated in the church, but generally by licence of the vicar who was invested with that right.
THREATENED BY PLAGUE.
When Colston Basset, was so severely visited by plague in 1604 that, it had to be isolated from outside contact, the inhabitants of Kinoulton must have greatly feared infection and about that time the Saviles, who had once bought the Oglethorpe property, had a mansion here which was in their occupation in 1609.
With Col. Hutchinson's home at Owthorpe so near, and with the adjoining Colston Basset, the seat of the papist Goldings who fought strenuously for Charles throughout the Civil War, the peace of Kinoulton must often have been imperilled, but for incident we must turn to the Lodge, which lay on the Fosseway, the road so sunken that it is said an army might pass unobserved.
After the final rising in aid of the imprisoned king was defeated at Preston in 1648, the vanquished cavaliers fled in groups, one of which, headed by the gallant Sir Marmaduke Langdale, made towards Newark, hoping maybe to escape abroad by means of the Trent Langdale was familiar with this district, having battled in it, once heading a force for the relief of Newark.
Mrs. Hutchinson narrates how his little party of 10 came in disguise to an alehouse upon her husband's land and gave out that they were Cromwell's men. No more sequestered spot than this lonesome tavern could have been found, but their presence excited suspicion; Major Widmerpool two miles away was informed and news was hurried to Col. Hutchinson that strange visitors were resting at his "lodge."
Both leaders hastened with supporters to intercept the fugitives, but Widmerpool arrived first and placing a guard upon the stabled horses, surrounded the Inn and compelled Sir Marmaduke to surrender.
His exploits had so angered Parliament that he had been excepted from all mercy. He was hurried captive to Nottingham Castle, but by bribing his gaoler, who escaped with him, he evaded the fate in store for him. Tricked out as a roundhead soldier, he was fortunate enough to reach safety and lived to witness the Restoration. His captors at Lodge-on-the-Wolds were rewarded by the gift of the cavaliers' horses and to Hutchinson was given "a case of two very fine pistols."
LATER STUART DAYS.
Under the Commonwealth the rectory was taken from the York See and leased to Sir Gervase Clifton, who in 1650 was receiving its profits of £70; the vicarage was worth £30 a year and the parson preached at least once and sometimes twice each Sunday. He was vicar by 1644 and retained the living until his death about 1674. In 1676 his successor reported 102 adult parishioners, none of whom refused the Sacrament, but in the same year Wm. Poole of "the lodge" suffered distraint for attending a Quaker conventicle.
The last year of the reign of Anne witnessed the sale by the Goldings of Colston Basset manor, and with it passed to the Earl of Strafford their property here. A decade later, Stukeley wrote that "at the lodge was an inn under a great wood." The Roman pavement of blue flagstones laid edgewise, taken from the hillside, was very visible, but it had been plundered of some of its stone, and the inn yard was paved with them.
The vicar of 1743 advised his archbishop that the parish had 32 families and informed him how "by honest and persuasive methods, cool and mild Reasoning, and by the Cogency as well as the Authority of Scripture," he had induced an errant dissenter to return to the fold. He added that a village school was contemplated, and assured him that as "judge of the Peculiar" he did not abuse his power. He preached here once each alternate Sunday, and at Owthorpe, where he was curate, on the other.
THE SPA.
By 1769 Kinoulton was becoming famous for the medicinal quality of the water of a spring on the hill west of the village. Its chaly-beate output, it was then said in a London newspaper, "is clear, pleasing, cooling, and a little saltish." Fifty years later, it was a reputable spa both for drinkers and bathers and bathing and dressing-room accommodation had been provided for patrons. As Spa Well, the spring still exists.
THE ABANDONED CHURCH.
Kinoulton church.
In 1793, when the Grantham Canal was being cut through the parish, the ancient church on the hill was superseded by the present brick structure built by the Earl of Gainsborough up on or near to the site of old Newbold church. Kinoulton Church has been abandoned since 1780 as too ruinous for use, public worship being conducted in a barnlike building which seems never to have been consecrated. Portions of the ground-plan, still discernible, of the venerable church itself suggest that it was small and comprised a chancel, nave, western tower and a side-aisle with a porch.
In the following year, Cropwell Butler and Kinoulton conjoined, had to pay a fine of £23 11s. for failing to produce its "volunteer" for the French war in accordance with an Act of 1796. In 1796, the parish had 25 houses subject to inhabited house duty which, however, was not levied on farmhouses rented at less than £10 a year or private, dwellings under £5. The abdication of Napoleon and his consignment to Elba in 1814 was fervently celebrated by the villagers and a long account of it, written by the vicar at that time, tells how on a hot July day feasting (with abundance of plum-pudding and ale) prevailed from dawn to dusk, with bands parading, bells clanging, and dancing on the green, the final item being the production of an effigy of "Boney," which was prophetically committed to the flames of a huge bonfire.
A century ago, the manor had descended to Henry Neville, who assumed the name and arms of the Noels, Earls of Gainsborough, and in 1847 that gentleman erected a village school. Labourers were then earning but 10s. a week and it is not surprising to read that poverty abounded. As a curiosity it may be mentioned that in 1889 there were living in the parish a married couple each of whom were over 100 years of age—a probable record for such double longevity.
A GILBERTIAN POSITION.
The east end of Kinoulton in the 1930s.
In 1896 it was reported to the County Council that at Lodge-in-the-Wolds the only voter and ratepayer, who was also the owner and occupier of the whole of its 36 acres, had to fill the office of overseer, act as the parish meeting, parish constable, and fill all the other customary parochial offices. Upon one occasion, the Justices had to hold a special session for the reception of its jury list, although the only person liable for jury service was this owner himself and he was exempt through old age. Soon afterwards the tiny parish was amalgamated with Cotgrave for civil purposes, but ecclesiastically it remained extra-parochial.
At the last census Kinoulton's population was 285—10 more than 130 years earlier, and in 1940 died here Arthur Lowe, an artist of some repute.
