I found myself knocking on my Mothers door, bursting with the anticipation of her putting on the kettle, grabbing a couple of plates and serving us generous slices of this cake. Whilst I know it's important to stay humble, I'd had a sneaky taste and without sounding all "Kayne" I knew that we were in for a treat.
My prediction came true, I had tea, I had cake, I had a comfy seat and the full attention of my truly outstanding Mother. I felt like I was winning, have I mentioned the cats? There's 4 and most of them ignore me.
I had baked this cake as a Mothers Day gift, so it feels fitting to share a few snippets about my Mother, she's rather special. I've never known anyone else to arrive at a pub on Saturday night and lovingly lay out various flavors of homemade tiffin, crisps, and dinky little pots of fruit. I've inherited my Mothers kindness, her huge hazel eyes and feelings of frustration when food is not in abundance. I don't share her love of Dr Martins, but I appreciate snuggling up in her huge cardigans and stealing her fluffy socks.
I had a bit of a mission making this cake, firstly I elbowed my way through the crowds at the Mini Supermarket and went on a wild goose chase to locate sugar, flour, eggs, pistachios, and limes. I returned to the office with icing sugar (incorrect, I needed Castor), a KitKat Chunky and some flour. The result of this was that I had to visit yet another supermarket and got distracted by goodness knows what and still forgot the fact I needed vegetable oil (not on the previous list). The moral of the story is simple, check the bloody ingredients at first and get everything in one hit. Anyway, Friday night was spent being part of a conveyor belt of Pistachio shelling (and tasting), cake baking and then my dreams where sweetened by excessive buttercream.
Just for the record, the addition of Limes gives this a punchy flavor that feels just like summer, teamed with the crunch of Pistachio and sweetness of the frosting and you've baked yourself one hell of a cake. I'd go as far as saying, it doesn't actually need a frosting if you've got less of a sweet tooth and you don't need to bake the nuts in, but in my opinion with nuts, more the merrier!
Start by shelling your Pistachios, this is definitely the most time consuming element and I firmly recommend placing them in a bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. I like mine rather chunky, but it's a completely personal choice.
Then, pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees and line a loaf tin with grease proof paper or a light coating of butter.
Grate the courgette and set aside in a large mixing bowl - Then grate the lime zest and add this to the same bowl.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, add the vegetable oil and then the juice of the lime, The next step is to slowly add the sugar and stir everything together. Now, slowly add the flour (& baking powder & optional pistachio nuts) to the courgette/lime mix and gradually add the liquid, whilst mixing the batter.
Note- if you you have a free standing or hand held mixer, this is the time for them to get involved.
The mix will be extremely thick, especially with the volume from the courgette, so I'd recommend taking your time to ensure everything is fully combined.
Pour into the cake tin and bake for 60-70 minutes, depending on your oven.
Whilst the bake is cooling, beat the icing sugar, lime juice and butter - You might have excess buttercream but this keeps well for weeks. Topping with additional nuts is completely optional!
If you have a free standing mixer, you can simply throw everything into the bowl and let the mixer complete all the hard work - Lazy baking!


You may get an opportunity in your career to prove your skills. Coordination with subordinates would be fruitful. Your communication would be transparent. At work, things would be in your favor. Opportunities would come your way and you would make good use of them. You need to have patience in order to get desired results.

Words have vibration. This is a fact.
Masaru Emoto's pioneering work on how words affect the molecular structure of water, and Doreen Virtue's research on the sound graphs created by the words we use, both suggest the power that our spoken language has on the way we feel and the physical world.
Such research, backed by years of literature on the power of positive thinking and affirmations has inevitably given negative or swear words a bad rap. Whereas I fully understand and acknowledge the truth behind this literature, I can't help but notice how we've taken positive talking and thinking to an unhealthy extreme.
I realised this most potently when one of my coaching clients told me she wouldn't allow herself to express her negative emotions in her journal, in fear that she would prolong her negative experience.
I've always encouraged people to cry their way to happiness, suggesting that crying doesn't create negativity; it releases it. In a similar way to crying, using negative thoughts and words when you already feel negative emotion will only help you to express that emotion fully.
I told my client to visualize that negative emotion was like a glassful of water. Expressing negative emotion through crying, writing or swearing, only helps empty that glass. The uglier your crying and the stronger your swearing is, the faster that glass will empty, and you'll be free of the negativity.
The very fact that you feel urged to use negative thoughts or words in the first place signifies that you already are in the same vibrational frequency as those words. Therefore, expressing them won't lower your vibration any more than what it already is. Concurrently, withholding them will only fill up the glass with even more negativity until it eventually overflows through an emotional breakdown, or it manifests into a physical illness.
Bestselling author of F*ck it Therapy, John Parking has created a revolutionary spiritual modality which invites people to F their way to happiness. In his workshops, he plays loud music and has the audience chant "F*ck it!" while visualizing a situation that they want to let go of.
Although I was a bit apprehensive when I first tried this, I was eventually swept over by the power of F*ck it and passionately F-ed off stagnant emotions and beliefs I hadn't even known I'd been holding.
A similar way of expressing negative emotion is through mirror work. Your eyes are doorways to your soul. When you look into your eyes in a mirror you can't lie to yourself. Your truth must come out and with it all the negativity you've been suppressing, offering a safe outlet for you to deal with them.
Look into your eyes in the mirror. Allow yourself to be present in the moment and notice any emotions that come up, as well as where you feel them in your body.
Have a mirror self-talk. Talk to yourself in the mirror about what you're feeling. Be totally honest and have a real conversation with yourself, as if you're talking to your best friend. If you feel like going negative, embrace it fully!
End in a positive note. After you empty your glass of negativity you're given two choices. You can either replay the negativity, thus, propagate it, or you can choose to practice a more positive emotion. You'll find that after having expressed the negativity it'll be much easier for you to see the situation in a more positive light.
Do you feel guilty when you think or speak negative words? How do you deal with your urge to do so? Let me know in the comments below.

CRY NO MORE: Let us unite and oust the treasonist lot in September poll
Lealea
By SAI LEALEA
There can be no doubt Fiji and its people have literally been pouring their hearts out and shedding untold tears. This has been due to the loss of their freedom and the abuse of their human rights and dignity since the overthrow of the elected government of PM Qarase in December 2006 by the Dictator Bainimarama. That national outpouring of grief and tears is beginning to abate and tears are slowly drying as they see a glimmer of hope in the upcoming election in September.
Anyone who loves his or her country would want the crying to stop for good and for the nation and its people to reclaim their freedom and political sanity. Indeed, so many of us would love to proclaim the words: "Cry no more my beloved Fiji" in recognition of the hurt and suffering of near 8 years now and the possibility that good days beckon to again flourish as a nation and people.
We all know too well who has been shedding the tears since December 2006 and records abound of how widespread and heart wrenching it has been. Mothers whose sons were mysteriously taken into custody and retrieved dead from the hands of those tasked to uphold the law and protect citizens, shed hurtful tears borne out of the natural attachment to a physical offspring.
So did innocent women, including my aunt, Laisa Vulakoro, frogmarched by cowardous soldiers into the Suva military camp, then later sworn at and stomped on by men who no doubt have sisters and mothers, shed tears of agony and pain. The spouses and relatives of murdered CRW soldiers shed copious tears seeing their loved ones' dead corpses in the Suva mortuary and so as those families brutally uprooted and forced to flee overseas, some now in New Zealand I know, from the persecution of a sinister and evil regime. Even recalling these cases and writing about it inevitably triggers a teary eyed reaction. Many, many more cases exist and if collected the tears shed could no doubt fill a huge reservoir that could appropriately be labelled the "Fiji's reservoir of tears from Coup 2006". What a shrine of national and international shame that would be!
"While crying may not be a blockbuster drug, but the latest research suggests it's highly effective at healing, and that it improves the mood of 88.8 per cent of weepers, with only 8.4 per cent feeling worse." Perhaps therein lie an antidote to the long suffering of Fiji and its people since Dictator Bainimarama's coup. I'm not saying crying and suffering has stopped because it surely has not. Instead, people of Fiji have, over time, developed coping mechanisms to shield them from the impact of the suffering. They have found temporary relief in their own spirituality, families and networks of colleagues and friends which in turn encourage them to recover and contemplate the future. They have come to internalise their cries into yearnings to confront the evil that has suppressed them all these years. Again research into crying "supports the so-called recovery theory, that emotional tears, and their contents, may be a way of getting the body back in balance after a stressful event."
This does offer some hope for Fiji and its people and I for one very much look forward to its effects in the months ahead, especially the confidence and ability to seize any opportunity to turn threats to their advantage.
The 17 September election provides that opportunity and the heart truly lifts when one looks at the enthusiasm and passion in which the parties are approaching it, even under the most trying, unfair and uneven of political circumstances. For me, it is as if the tears of sorrow, pain and agony are being transformed into tears of joy, hope and determination. It is a truly welcome change and marks an innate strength in the human spirit to recover from a human inflicted suffering. Worse, when that suffering is perpetrated by the organs of the State and, in many cases for Fijians, by their own race.
The emotional energy that has fanned the tears of suffering, grief and sorrow has slowly been redirected at reclaiming freedom and liberty, which in turn, has ignited passion and enthusiasm among those fighting the forces of evil and darkness now arrayed in front of us in the form of Dictator Bainimarama and his Fiji First Party.
To him and his treasonist bunch, let us in unison, shout out that Fiji and its people shall "Cry No More". And if we are to cry it will be the cry of joy and victory when Fiji awakes from its enforced slumber inflicted by evil forces, to retake its rightful place in the community of civilised nations, where dignity human rights, democracy and respect for each other is again held paramount and sacrosanct.
Dula, dula ragone...
Such unnecessary drama. Tears would not have been WASTED had Fijians across the board, particularly those who've been at the helm of power, admitted to their faults and corruption instead of mumming and digging heels in self-preservation.
We cud've, wud've, shud've have decisively arrived much earlier at the ballot box instead of 8 years later. Spare the tissues as its no use crying over spilt milk.
This is why we should do everything within our means to not reward this criminals or terrorists if you may another 4 years of rule come September 2014. The new roads and new bridges, the sewing machines and brushcutters will never be enough to wipe away the hurt, the anguish, the terrorism, the loss of freedom, the loss of life that has blanketed us the people of Fiji. Some have been man enough to front up to their actions and are facing or have faced the consequences. Some to this day have been able to avoid paying the price and live and roam freely amongst us. Some of these are currently being heralded as heroes and champions of the people for past 1-2 years of an 8 year rule. This however will never extinguish what they have done and there will come a day, during this lifetime or the next, where they will do so in the end. Run as far and fast as you can. Sooner or later everything else just catches up with you as eventually you will slow down.
Isikeli
Let us unite and oust Bainimarama and his government. Please tell the Police to restart the investigation of the CRW soldiers. That case needs to be investigated as it is a criminal case - Bainimarama should be charged for MURDER as he directed the torturing of all CRW soldiers. Someone to ask the corrupt RAVI NARAYAN who became Bainimarama and MINISTER JOKETANI COKANASIGAs choice for acting COMMISSIONER instead of more educated and qualified police officers to answer why he is fast in directing investigation against fellow police officers and known offenders and turned a blind eye on the CRW Police investigation files and Mr Beddoes complaint against BAINIMARAMA for violating all the Elections Decree? Let us Unite and throw Bainimarama and Khaiyum through the Window.
Fijian all have to be united to get rid of BAI/KAI FFP
Uniting Force
SODELPA - 9%
FLP - 9%
NFP - 8%
Felix - 7%
All Independents - 4%
Vosarogo Party - 0 %
FijiFirst - Indians 80%
- Fijians 80%
Overall Votes FijiFirst = 63%
This equates ALL 50 seats to FijiFirst Party - All the way
As NFP's Ms Draunidalo said no matter how flawed the election process is at least this is first steps to democracy!!!!!!
Full credit for this result is going to be directed to Qarase and Chaudhry's best performance in government [2001-2006]
For the balance all works in the development plan initiated during SDL term, its outcome result of ribbon opening by Frank gives a tick to Frank.
Isa Fiji ...heading towards bankruptcy that Chaudhry accused Qarase to having about bankrupting Fiji but now another $2billion government debt added as -ve progress in many fronts.
Maybe Vodapone profits from FNPF will help pay for more FNPF debt for next 4 years. Good starategy as little price hike on Vodapone is imminent now with more regulations to protect its profits so bankrupt Frank and Aiaz can survive for anothewr 4 years.
Kubuna Boy
Lately we have seen the decendent of Maafu re emerginging.We all know that Maafu wanted to take over Fiji but it was the strong man of Kubuna Cakobau who thwarted his plans so what the Army did which was led by another Kubuna man was to end once and for all that revival.

This benefit will be available in the form of grants through Direct Benefit transfer (DBT), confirmed officials of the Rajasthan Energy Department.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje on Saturday announced free electricity for farmers up to Rs 10,000, hours before the Election Commission announced schedule for upcoming Assembly elections in the state.
Addressing a public meeting in Ajmer, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister made the announcement.
According to the announcement, more than 12 lakh farmers of the state will receive free electricity up to Rs 10,000 for a year on their agricultural electricity connection.
The farmers will have to pay the bill first, after which a maximum amount of Rs 833 per month shall be deposited in their bank accounts, explained the officials.
"What`s the meaning of making this announcement an hour before the implementation of code of conduct by this outgoing government?" Gehlot asked, adding: "Why she didn`t give free electricity to farmers in her five-year tenure?"

Q: How to disable contextual menu for Android I am trying to disable the contextmenu in my cordova-plugin for quite a while now, but didn't even get a good approach to solving the problem.
I think I have to override the "onCreateContextMenu" method from the activity when initializing my cordova-plugin somehow. But I don't know exactly how to override it properly.
public class ContextMenuPlugin extends CordovaPlugin {
 @Override
 public void initialize(CordovaInterface cordova, CordovaWebView webView) {

      //when overriding the onCreateContextMenuListener in View I gets executed, but nothing happens (maybe it's the wrong View?)
      webView.getView().setOnCreateContextMenuListener(new View.OnCreateContextMenuListener() {

           @Override
           public void onCreateContextMenu (ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
                //when logging something in here it is written when the context menu is created
                //but i cannot seem to be able to modify the menu variable
           }
      });

      super.initialize(cordova, webView);
 }

}
If this view is the wrong view, maybe I have to override the CordovaWebView in order to modify the activity that is referenced in webView to override the "onCreateActionMode" method in Activity. But CordovaWebView is an Interface and no class and I don't want to implement the whole Interface and I don't really believe this is necessary.
If anyone has any ideas on this, please let me know.

A: Use the solution referenced here:
Disable callout (context menu) on Android
It's unrelated to your Java code.

Stories are the native format of the mobile era
0xCfdC
When Snapchat launched Stories in October 2013, no one could have anticipated the ripple effect this would have across the software ecosystem. In the 7-years since its launch, every major consumer internet company has adopted its own flavor of Stories to give its users that familiar, lean back content consumption experience that they've grown accustomed to. Even though there's no singular app that has monopolized consumer attention, it's clear that the Story content format is the real winner of the mobile-first world.
Why Stories Won the Internet
The way companies with an ads-based business model make more money is relatively straightforward: get users to spend more time consuming relevant content and seeing more ads. For over a decade, consumer internet companies have been tweaking and improving upon the traditional feed-based content consumption model. First there was Google's paginated results, followed by Facebook's infinite scroll and Pinterest's masonry grid. Each is designed to balance exploiting what the app already knows about its users with exploration of new topics adjacent to the user's current preferences.
Stories were the first new discovery paradigm that completely changed the way social apps began to think about engaging with their users. Beyond just how users consume content, Stories also changed the way people thought about creating content. By making Stories temporal, the quality bar was lowered so users don't have to overthink whether something they share should be a part of their permanent record on the internet. Suddenly, users weren't worried about polluting their own self image (or their friends' feeds) which made it a lot easier to create content at a much higher volume than they did with feed posts.
From a metrics perspective, it makes sense why this new paradigm is so attractive: Stories users end up spending more time in-app across more frequent sessions and end up direct messaging each other more, creating a virtuous feedback loop of engagement. In early 2019 Instagram reported that they had 500 Million daily active users of Stories, with 1 Billion monthly active users of the app overall! That DAU-to-MAU ratio is astounding, and something that's understandably envious to the rest of the consumer app ecosystem.
Why Stories are Hard for Marketers
While the cat's out of the bag that Stories are the winning format for mobile, marketers are left scratching their heads about how to handle supporting all of these new native formats. Depending on a marketer's type of business and target audience, they now has to deal with Instagram (Grid, Stories, Reels, IGTV), Snapchat, TikTok, Google (SEO, AMP Stories), Pinterest (Pins, Stories), Facebook (Posts, Stories), Twitter (Tweets, Fleets) and LinkedIn (Posts, Stories).
The proliferation of at-scale social networks presents a massive opportunity for marketers to reach their audience unlike ever before, but it comes with a very real cost. Each channel has its own rules, best practices and creative sizes which means a "one size fits all" approach just simply doesn't work. Practically speaking this means that if a marketer wants to cross-promote a blog post across social networks today, they have to produce 4+ creative formats and publish it to 5+ channels. This leads to a meaningful decrease in velocity and increase in the time between publishing a blog post and actually being able to promote it. When combined with the fact that all of this hard work goes away after 24 hours, it's clear that this is a very real challenge today.
Almost overnight, the bottleneck for marketers has become creating all of the design assets they need to maximize their reach and maintain their quality bar. Companies like the New York Times have dedicated 20+ person design teams just focused on solving this problem, but for the average company this isn't even a distant possibility. More likely, the marketer has a shared design resource with other parts of the company, and is relegated to jump into design tools themselves to try and make ends meet.
Stories are the straw that broke the marketer's back, and with their recent widespread adoption will come a new wave of products that are meant to make the process of generating stories and other social content dramatically easier. Today marketers have 3 choices for producing stories: native creation tools, templated design tools, or pro design tools.
We're at the beginning of a new era of design tooling that generates beautiful, on-brand social content automatically. This fourth type of tool will let marketers remix their existing content into all of the relevant formats to power their social strategies. These tools won't automate the role of the designer or marketer, but instead elevate their position from being the executor to the strategist.

National Grandparents Day
Americans celebrate National Grandparents Day on the first Sunday of September after Labor Day. It serves to commemorate grandparents and grandparent figures. The most common tradition is for children to bring their grandparents to school for a special Grandparents Day program in their honor.
Grandchildren may also give cards and gifts or take their grandparents out to eat or another activity—National Grandparents Day sees four million cards sent. Many grandchildren also enjoy hearing stories of their family legacy from their grandparents on this day, making trips to nursing homes or other care centers for visits.
The official song of Grandparents Day, established in 2004, is "A Song for Grandma and Grandpa" by Johnny Prill. The official flower is the forget-me-not, which many grandchildren give their grandparents on this day. Very similar versions of Grandparents Day are celebrated all over the world, with some days celebrated with a separate Grandmothers Day and Grandfathers Day.
There are different sources that may have founded Grandparents Day. Marian McQuade is known for working to get a bill proposed by Senator Jennings Randolph, signed, as it had not made it out of the committee stage. Marian contacted senators, congressman, and other politicians to organize support for the bill. Forty-three states proclaimed a Grandparents Day holiday within the next three years. Congress passed the law making National Grandparents Day into a national holiday to be celebrated the first Sunday after Labor Day in 1977, which President Jimmy Carter signed into law. McQuade wanted the holiday established in order to help promote the contributions of the elderly to the youth and encouraged them to "adopt" grandparents.
At the same time, Michael Goldgar was also campaigning for a Grandparents Day. Goldgar spent $11,000, seventeen trips to the capitol, and seven years lobbying for the day, inspired by his aunt, who lived in a nursing home.

In one of his fi rst papers, Thomas Kuhn ( 1959 ) addressed the essential tension implicit in scientifi c research, i.e., the contrast between convergent and divergent thinking. He considered both to be central to the advance of science. Convergent thinking is what scientists do in their daily normal research projects, where the scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which he concentrates are just those which he believes can be both stated and solved within the existing scientifi c tradition ( ibid., p. 234). The convergent mode is neither intended nor likely to produce fundamental discoveries or revolutionary changes in scientifi c theory ( ibid., p. 233). As he would describe in greater detail in The Structure of Scientifi c Revolutions (1970), this is because students are already discouraged from developing divergent-thinking abilities, partly because their education is based on textbooks, which exhibit concrete problem solutions that the profession has come to accept as paradigms Nothing could be better calculated to produce mental sets or Einstellungen (Kuhn, 1959 , p. 229). Clearly, from this perspective, mental sets (or mental inertia) play an important role in paradigms as they prevent the normal scientist from gazing beyond the limits of her paradigm. Kuhn also emphasized the importance of convergent thinking as no part of science progressed very far or very rapidly before this convergent education and correspondingly convergent normal practice became possible ( ibid., p. 237). However, Kuhn also recognized the diver-gent method because in order to assimilate new discoveries and theories the scientist

must usually rearrange the intellectual and manipulative equipment he has previously relied upon, discarding some elements of his prior belief ( ibid., p. 226).
For psychologists, this interplay between convergent and divergent thinking Kuhns essential tension is strongly reminiscent of Jean Piagets notion of the ongoing attempts of the subject to restore her equilibration on the basis of assimila-tion (trying to fi t the new puzzle pieces to the already existing pieces, or in Kuhns view: convergence thinking) and accommodation (trying to come up with new innovative ways of changing the game in the light of non-fi tting pieces, or diver-gent thinking, according to Kuhn). Is the continuous integration of new informa-tion into pre-existing structures, the transformation of existing structures, and the construction of new ones that are based on experience to accomplish assimilation what Kuhn had in mind? It leaves us with the question: How much constructivist (in the sense of Piaget) was Kuhn? In a series of papers several authors have also argued that Piaget and Kuhn have opposing viewpoints: while the former proposes continuous and cumulative progress, the latter emphasizes discontinuity (cf. Kitchener, 1985, 1987 ; Tsou, 2006 ; Burman, 2007 ) . Also, Ernst von Glasersfeld, who founded radical constructivism (RC) in the 1970s, is clearly on Kuhns side: The history of scientifi c ideas shows all too blatantly that there has been no over-all linear progression. (Glasersfeld, 2001 , p. 32) Furthermore, according to Bird ( 2009 ) , Kuhn denied any constructivist import to his remarks on world-change [but] acknowledge[d] a parallel with Kantian idealism. This, however, sounds odd because Kuhn claimed that the proponents of competing paradigms practice their trades in different worlds Practicing in different worlds, the two groups of scien-tists see different things when they look from the same point in the same direction (Kuhn, 1970 , p. 150). 1
Clearly, a statement like this sounds very constructivist, for constructivism expresses the idea that mental structures and operations are actively constructed by ones mind rather than passively acquired. Constructing means that there is a developmental path from some initial state, rather than a teleological progress towards some fi nal state (Burman, 2007 ) . It comes as no surprise then that different individuals take different paths resulting in different (momentary) states. Given these observations, is constructivism an over-arching perspective that accommo-dates both Kuhns and Piagets respective philosophies of science?
In this paper I will fi rst describe the paradigm of constructivist approaches, in general, and radical constructivism, in particular. I will then investigate the notion of mental sets through the constructivist lens. The papers goal is to show how cen-tral notions in Kuhns theory can be interpreted in terms of constructivism and its emphasis on an alternative approach to knowledge.
1 In his autobiography, von Glasersfeld ( 2010 , p. 245) described how Kuhn grew indignant over von Glasersfelds comment that Fodors talk about representations was irresponsible if it did not add that they could never be representations of reality. So we can assume that in the above quote Kuhn interpreted different worlds as hypothetical or even fi ctitious worlds that are not corrobo-rated by experiments whereas for von Glasersfeld these were different experiential worlds with no ontological connotation (Marco Bettoni, personal communication, 2011).
23713 Constructivism
Constructivist Paradigms
Constructivism is not a homogenous paradigm. Various strands of empirical insights and philosophical refl ections have led (and are still leading) to the formulations of a number of constructivisms. Vincent Kenny ( 2010 ) speaks of ever branching new sub-disciplines. And even though many constructivist scholars have known each other personally, and have even been bound by ties of friendship, their respective approaches including radical constructivism, social constructivism, construction-ism, etc. have remained at a certain distance from each other. So instead of speak-ing of the constructivism, I will use the term constructivist approaches. It refers to the idea that the mental world or the experienced reality is actively constructed or brought forward, and that the observer plays a major role in any theory. 2
In some sense the variety of constructivist approaches seems to resemble that which Kuhn called immature science (Kuhn, 1970 ) , which lacks consensus and where much intellectual energy is put into arguing over the fundamentals with other schools instead of developing a research tradition (Bird, 2009 ) . However, there is a crucial difference. Constructivist approaches are not a discipline-bound endeavor but rather a horizontal meta science way of thinking that covers a vari-ety of disciplines and interdisciplinary topics: neural networks, cognition, learning, living systems, organizations, architectural design, sociology, literary sciences, media sciences, and systemic family therapy (cf. Mller, 2010 ) .
Looking closely at the differences among constructivist approaches one will rec-ognize that they vary in function of how far they are willing to take the idea that reality is constructed. In the following section the attempt is made to classify con-structivist approaches into two dimensions: (1) disciplinary paths to constructivisms and (2) dualistic versus non-dualistic approaches with regard to the dichotomy between mind and reality. For each of these categories I will paradigmatically dis-cuss a typical exemplary proponent.
Paths to Constructivism
Phenomenological Constructivism: Ernst Mach
Some authors embrace a phenomenological perspective that considers perception to be the grouping of experiential complexes. For example, in the late nineteenth century, Ernst Mach, a precursor of constructivism, 3 claimed that things consist
2 Cf. Maturanas Everything said is said by an observer to another observer who can be himself or herself (Maturana, 1978 , p. 31) and von Foersters Objectivity is the delusion that observations could be made without an observer (quoted in Glasersfeld, 1995 , epigraph). 3 It should be emphasized that this is the very same Ernst Mach whose name was used for the Verein Ernst Mach , which later became known as the Vienna Circle of the logical positivists. However surprising this double life might be, in his fi rst publication on radical constructivism, von Glasersfeld ( 1974 ) already considered Mach (together with Percy Bridgman) an ally. They both neglected developmental aspects, which are crucial for constructivism.
of a functional assembly of sense elements, i.e., they are thought symbols for a sensational complex of relative stability (cf. also von Foersters reference to eigen-behavior, see below). Consequently, the actual elements of the world are not things and bodies but rather sensations such as colors, sounds, pressures, spaces, and times as well as moods, emotions, and the will (Mach, 1959 , ch. 1.2). However, this does not imply that the world is a mere sum of sensations. Rather, Mach defi ned the world in terms of functional relations of the elements (Mach, 1959 , p. 363). These also include psychical entities such as the self, which are charac-terized as sensations that are related to each other in different ways. From this perspective, according to Mach, science is the discovery of functional relations the dependence of experie

Along with the rise of the development effectiveness movement of the last few decades, experimental impact evaluation methods – randomised controlled trials and quasiexperimental techniques – have emerged as a dominant force. While the increased use of these methods has contributed to improved understanding of what works and whether specific projects have been successful, their 'gold standard' status threatens to exclude a large body of evidence from the development effectiveness dialogue. In this paper we conduct an evaluation of the impact on child stunting of CARE's SHOUHARDO project in Bangladesh, the first large-scale project to use the rights-based, livelihoods approach to address malnutrition. In line with calls for a more balanced view of what constitutes rigor and scientific evidence, and for the use of more diversified and holistic methods in impact evaluations, we employ a mixed-methods approach. The results from multiple data sources and methods, including both non-experimental and quasi-experimental, are triangulated to arrive at the conclusions. We find that the project had an extraordinarily large impact on stunting among children 6–24 months old – on the order of a 4.5 percentage point reduction per year. We demonstrate that one reason the project reduced stunting by so much was because, consistent with the rights-based, livelihoods approach, it relied on both direct nutrition interventions and those that addressed underlying structural causes including poor sanitation, poverty, and deeply-entrenched inequalities in power between women and men. These findings have important policy implications given the slow progress in reducing malnutrition globally and that the widely-supported Scaling Up Nutrition initiative aimed at stepping up efforts to do so is in urgent need of guidance on how to integrate structural cause interventions with the direct nutrition interventions that are the initiative's main focus. The evaluation also adds to the evidence that targeting the poor, rather than employing universal coverage, can help to accelerate reductions in child malnutrition. The paper concludes that, given the valuable policy lessons generated, the experience of the SHOUHARDO project merits solid standing in the knowledge bank of development effectiveness. More broadly, it illustrates how rigorous and informative evaluation of complex, multi-intervention projects can be undertaken even in the absence of the randomisation, nonproject control groups and/or panel data required by the experimental methods. Keywords: development effectiveness; impact evaluation; experimental methods; child malnutrition; Bangladesh.

Oyo CP urges police officers to operate with fear of God
in Crime
Shina Olukolu, the Commissioner of Police in Oyo, has urged police officers in the command to undertake their duties with the fear of God.
Olukolu made the call on Friday evening during a dinner and award presentation ceremony held at the state police headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan.
He said that men and officers of the force should endeavour to wear human faces in their dealings with members of the public.
"We have to work with the fear of Almighty God, we must also be mindful of how we pursue material things," he said.
The police commissioner stated that only the grace of God could uplift humans in their careers, saying, "we must shun dubious acts".
"If humans do not see the things we do, God watches and sees us; He also knows how to reward us.
"When we shout at you, our whole intention is to show good mentoring in your interest and that of the society which we serve," he said.
Olukolu used the occasion to commend the police management team and officers in the state for a cordial working relationship.
In his remark, Rev. Moses Aransiola, President, Gethsemane Prayer Ministries International, said that the ministry and the police had been partnering on the annual event in the past 22 years.
Aransiola said that the partnership was in the area of law enforcement and the enthronement of peace and security.
"The commitment to national service gave birth to the annual police dinner and award presentation 22 years ago.
"It is our way of encouraging and empowering Nigeria Police officers who are doing their best in the discharge of their duties in spite of obvious challenges,'' he said.
He urged corporate organisations and good spirited individuals to evolve ways of supporting the police to perform more effectively.
Speaking on behalf of the recipients, ASP Ogunlade Kehinde, Area Commander, Ogbomoso thanked the police management team and the Gethsemane ministries for the wards.
Kehinde said the award would serve as motivation for them to perform better in future.
News Agency of Nigeria reports that the award ceremony was organised by Gethsemane Prayer Ministries International, Ibadan, in collaboration with the Nigeria Police, Oyo state Command.

Holtzman Wildlife Foundation has granted $150,000 to fund construction of the Centre ValBio Lemur Wildlife Center in Madagascar.
Madagascar is home to one of the world's most unique and biologically diverse ecosystems. Working to protect this bionetwork is Stony Brook Foundation's Centre ValBio–a world-class research station sited on the outskirts of Madagascar's Ranomafana National Park. Under the direction of world-renowned primatologist Patricia Wright, Centre ValBio facilitates hands-on science to sustain the resources and people of the country.
Despite being an island nation with remarkable and diverse biological life, much of Madagascar's wildlife teeters on the verge of extinction. Madagascar is the only country where lemurs can be found in the wild, but 90% of its 103 species of lemur are in danger of disappearing from Earth. Dr. Wright has already done much to develop sustainable conservation ideas, but her talent and passion can be further enhanced.
The Holtzman Wildlife Foundation is supporting the construction of the Centre ValBio Lemur Wildlife Center. Building on Centre ValBio's already-existing and well-established research center, the LWC will help ensure lasting conservation of Madagascar's rainforests and endemic wildlife and serve scientists as they conduct lemur behavioral observations.

Mary Wollstonecraft: The first modern woman?
Mary and the Wrongs of Woman
By Gary Kelly
A recent book on the essayist William Hazlitt calls him the 'first modern man'. If he was, perhaps Mary Wollstonecraft was the first modern woman. By 'modern' I mean someone with ideas on how to cope with what sociologist Anthony Giddens calls 'the consequences of modernity'. These include frighteningly accelerated, seemingly uncontrollable change; heightened risk of all kinds, from food supply through epidemics to weapons of mass destruction and ecological catastrophe; increased dependence on 'abstract systems' of unknowable complexity, from banking to government, medical science to the economy; greater migration, voluntary and involuntary, across countries and continents, classes and cultures; and, in meeting these challenges, increased dependence on 'pure', supposedly unselfish relationships in private and social life and on a flexible yet stable, self-reflexive and adaptable personal identity.
Wollstonecraft lived through the onset of modernity as Giddens defines it. She observed personally, analyzed incisively, and looked beyond one of modernity's major initial crises, what many then saw as the greatest social and political cataclysm in history. She saw the blood of the guillotine on the Paris pavements and protested, at her peril. More, she understood this cataclysm from the situation of her sex, what she called 'the wrongs of woman', and protested, despite the peril.
Wollstonecraft certainly opposed unmodernity — the 'Old Order', the ancien régime — and promoted modernisation, but like her daughter Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein, she understood its costs, especially to the marginalized and powerless. Among other things, Frankenstein gave powerful mythic form to a vision of modernity as human catastrophe. Wollstonecraft tried to envisage a modernity that would benefit all, from which women and other marginalized groups would not be excluded and by which they would not be victimized.
To this end, as a self-educated, militantly independent young woman, she set out to become what she called the 'first of a new genus', a 'female philosopher'. Many at the time would have derided this phrase as an oxymoron, but by it she meant a comprehensive social, cultural, and political critic, what we now call a public intellectual, representing women in particular and thereby all of the exploited and oppressed.
As a 'female philosopher' Wollstonecraft communicated her vision of modernity, responding to the prolonged crisis of her time, in a wide range of writing including education manuals, novels, criticism and essays, political and social polemic, historiography of the present, and political travelogue. Part of this political and cultural work required both modernizing these forms, reinventing them better to serve her vision of modernity, and inventing a new form of discourse, that of the 'female philosopher' rather than of the intellectual woman as some kind of 'honorary man'. So radical was her invention, so modern, that still today many find it confused and confusing rather than ahead of its time, and perhaps ahead of ours.
Hazlitt knew Wollstonecraft's circle of radical reformers, intellectuals, artists, writers, and publishers and what they tried to achieve. He circulated among such a circle of his own, one that included Byron, Keats, Leigh Hunt, and Percy and Mary Shelley, as well as artists and intellectuals, modernizers of all kinds, in contending interests. Hazlitt's liberal views, increasingly celebrated in recent years, owed much to those of Wollstonecraft's circle, with their zeal for social justice, modernization of institutions, political reform, democratic access to the arts, and concern for human value in all aspects of life, of all forms of life.
Notoriously, however, Hazlitt did not attend to Wollstonecraft's feminism; in fact, many today see him as a misogynist. Yet I think Hazlitt's distinctive, celebrated, and modern-seeming style, with its sharp declarations, vivid illustrations, sudden turns, personal tone and reference, lyrical passages, sarcasm and satire, owed much to Wollstonecraft's. At the least, it was a later correlative to hers.
Wollstonecraft, much more than Hazlitt, was relegated after her death to the margins of literature and public discourse, perhaps for similar reasons; perhaps the first modern woman and man were too 'strong' for what became an influential Victorian and early twentieth-century consensus. Wollstonecraft was rediscovered by successive feminist movements, most recently in the 1970s; Hazlitt has received renewed attention in the past decade as a public intellectual for what Giddens calls 'late' modernity, and others 'post-modernity', our age of crisis, of 'recession', and 'austerity', and worse. In this we need all the help we can get. We could do worse than renew a conversation with the first modern woman.
