I hope to start blogging again on a more regular basis now that many of the commitments that have been taking all my time -- handling my Mom's estate, running Otakon Press Relations, moving -- are dying down a bit. There are still, however, quite a few boxes to put away before we are really settled in.
In the meantime, here is the second Wild Violet posting to come out in the past two weeks. Not yet quite back to the weekly schedule, but hey, it's progress!
I hope you get the time to properly blog soon!
Thank you! I just need to start making it a habit again.

Review - Socratic Moral Psychology
by Thomas C. Brickhouse and Nicholas D. Smith
Cambridge University Press, 2010
Review by Robert Zaborowski, Ph.D.
May 24th 2011 (Volume 15, Issue 21)
This rather short book - in fact 275 pages are 1.5-spaced with large margins and in 11-point font[[1]] - is a compelling treatment of what is termed as "Socratic intellectualism". Apart from Acknowledgments, Introduction, Bibliography[[2]], Index of passages and General index the book is composed of seven chapters and an Appendix. As it is supposed to be "a complete re-evaluation of Socrates' moral psychology" (132), the book is to a large extent polemical. In the Acknowledgment and in the Introduction we are explicitly told that the main target of the book's criticism are Mark McPherran's and Terry Penner's positions as well as those of Daniel Devereux, though in a somewhat different manner. Its novelty lies in taking desires and appetites, absent from the standard interpretation, into account as factors in human motivation.
The Introduction presents a distinction between the two senses of "Socratic intellectualism" (virtue versus motivational intellectualism) as well as an overview of the status quaestionis. According to Brickhouse and Smith (hereafter B&S), until the publication of Devereux's paper in 1995 "every scholar" - a very strong claim indeed, and, I am afraid, a false one - , including B&S themselves, "working on Socrates" held "a mistaken picture of Socratic moral psychology". This mistaken view is identified as ""the standard intellectualist conception" of Socratic moral psychology" (5). B&S recognize Devereux's paper as a direct impulse to change their former view. Yet, they make a step further and depart from Devereux's position ("the view we defend in this book is [not] exactly the same as what Devereux first proposed [...]" (2)). B&S have been for a long time evolving in considering their position and Devereux's influence to end up thinking that "our view is now [...] importantly different from Devereux's" (2).
The first chapter is exactly what its title means: an Apology of Socratic studies. It can be, therefore, seen as an introduction to Socratic studies in general. The main purpose of the chapter is, on the negative side, to refute scepticism towards the philosophy of Socrates, as it is professed, among others, by Ch. Kahn, and, on the positive side, to defend the foundations of Socratic studies. The main argument consists in re-interpreting "a central aspect of the philosophy of Socrates" (11). First, B&S put forward the Identity Principle, according to which "Socrates is the same character, with essentially the same philosophical opinions, in each of a certain group of dialogues by Plato" (13). They are keen, however, on insisting that the principle makes no commitment as to whether or not the Platonic portrait of Socrates in any group of dialogues squares with the historical figure. Thus, relying on an assumption that in early Platonic dialogues there are philosophical views of one character, call him Socrates, B&S carry on their analysis of Socratic moral psychology. And by reversing this we can say that Socratic moral psychology can be reconstructed from early Platonic dialogues. This chapter in itself forms a separate entity and in my view the refutation of counterarguments - which include arguments against chronology, against historicity of Plato's dialogues and so on - is convincing.
With the second chapter, devoted to intellectualism understood as motivational ("all human actions are in some way directly or immediately the result of what those acting think is best for them" (1)), we come to the main topic of the book. On standard interpretation Socrates claimed that "no one desires bad things or neither good nor bad things", since only good things are conducive to human happiness. Whenever it seems that someone did desire bad things, this is only by way of being misled about his action or goal. Put plainly, "[b]ad actions are the products of cognitive errors" (49). Such interpretation is defective, since "there are conative psychic powers other than the rational desires" (51), for instance pleasures, pains and fears as well as anger, shame and pride, which play a role in the explanation of human behaviour. This role is not only an informational but also a causal one. A series of evidences is taken from the Apology. B&S argue also for "[t]he existence of very different kinds of desire" (52). This remark is fundamental but is, to my mind, obvious to any attentive reader of Plato's dialogues (occurrences such as desire for food vs desire for wisdom are too numerous not to be noticed).
In the next chapter (The "prudential paradox") B&S tackle the first of the two paradoxes attributed to Socrates. They attempt to explain how Socrates could have stated that "no one ever acts contrary to his knowledge of what is best for him" (63). After rightly observing that the attribution of the statement to Socrates goes back as far as Aristotle, B&S, here again, put the stress on two distinct kinds of desire: one nonrational, another one rational. The problem is that nonrational desires, when strong, can endanger human choice, but not the ethical knowledge itself, which "is incompatible with the possession of strong appetites or passions" (71). However, the necessary condition for the good choice is bound up not with having or not nonrational desires, but with possessing the craft of measurement, which "can make the appearances lose their power". B&S's main point is that ""the power of appearance" - which causes one to be mistaken about what is evil and good - "is tied up with the psychological agency of the appetites and passions" (71). Yet, one can have no strong appetites and passions and still be mistaken, when he is lacking the craft of measurement. All in all, there are four cases: of people with strong passions and either with or without the craft of measurement and of people without strong passions and either with or without the craft of measurement.
The fourth chapter deals with the moral paradox ("no one voluntarily does what is unjust" (63)). The question is how Socrates could have maintained that harming someone is more damaging - evil is to be taken in a prudential sense - than being harmed. B&S explain that this is so, because harming someone damages one's soul and the damage can be so great that there is no more possibility of repair. According to B&S the standard intellectualist view meets difficulties which on their new account are solved, because apart from cases of cognitive errors, viz. cases of simple ignorance which can be improved by philosophical dialogue, there are others which require court trial and punishment. These are non-cognitive errors resulting from "the satisfaction of some appetite or other nonrational potential (such as a passion) in the soul" (104). Such "unruly" appetites and passions are, according to B&S, considered by Socrates as a part of human condition and thereby can never be wholly eliminated.
There are, however, some ways of educating the appetites and passions. What a new interpretation of Socratic moral psychology means for Socratic education is the subject of chapter 5. Here again, consequently and consistently, passions and appetites are at stake. For example, Socrates' processes of humiliating and shaming his interlocutors "are not purely and simply intellectual ones" (137). It is rather by producing an unpleasant experience that Socrates hopes to change their beliefs. For this sake Socrates avails himself not only of irony, mockery and sarcasm but also of the myths he recounts. So, the final myth in the Gorgias is designed to impress Callicles by working on his fears, while from the purely intellectual point of view its meaning is pointless. As B&S claim, by resorting to myth, Socrates "shows some recognition of the emotional effect such stories can have on others", while "[t]hese emotional effects go unrecognized in the traditional account of Socratic intellectualism" (141-142).
The sixth chapter, which can be taken as a conclusion to the main part of the book, presents B&S's argument about the second form of intellectualism - virtue intellectualism - a position according to which any virtue is constituted by knowledge. We find there a series of arguments, of which the most developed concerns the Euthydemus. In the end, surprisingly, we are told that B&S "agree with the standard view that Socrates held the identity of virtue and knowledge" (192), and the only difference with the standard interpretation is that they acknowledge "that the virtuous person [has] his or her appetites and passions in the weak condition that results from discipline and self-control" (192).
Chapter 7 constitutes a kind of coda and it contrasts first Socrates' moral psychology with Plato's, then with Aristotle's, and, finally with the Stoic one. This is the longest chapter (more than 50 pages) and in itself it provides an impressive and useful panorama of Socratic influence on subsequent philosophers in Ancient times. First, we learn that "the Platonic account is actually quite different from the Socratic view" (195) because Plato accepted what Socrates denied, namely, the possibility of synchronic belief-akrasia, which occurs when appetites or passions lead someone to act in ways contrary to one's belief. Next, we are told that Aristotle actually sides with Socrates and against Plato "about the impossibility of synchronic belief-akrasia" (214), since he takes into account nonrational desires which can impede the power of reason. Yet, Aristotle acknowledges the distinction between an akrates person and one who is completely vicious. Finally, B&S claim that, all similarities and differences between Socrates' and the Stoics' moral psychology considered, the Stoics advocate for freedom "from all passions" (this view is more than questionable but cannot be discussed here[[3]]), while "Socrates can allow that even someone who possesses ethical virtue may for a moment feel anger at some perceived injustice [...]" (245).
The book ends with an Appendix on the genuinely Socratic character of the Gorgias, especially of its final myth, as well as on Socratic belief in the immortality of the soul.
On the whole, the book is doubtlessly a stimulating work to be read by anyone interested in Socrates' anthropology. When I look now at my copy, I see it full of notes - practically on each page - which I felt compelled to put down. It contains much more nuances, refinements and sharp remarks that I could have accounted for in this review. Yet, on the other hand, I find it rather disappointing in what concerns it main promise to deliver a new interpretation of Socratic moral psychology. As a matter of fact, the use by B&S of passions and appetites in explaining human activity applies, so to speak, only to actions, goals and behaviours when they are mistaken and negative. I must say, I am not sure how to understand the argument's novelty. We are told, it is true, that Socrates never suggests that "one would be better off without appetites or passions" (197), but what does it matter if the possession of knowledge "is a sufficient [sic!] condition for being in a disciplined condition" (192). I think that B&S stopped just half-way in their research, because nothing is said about the positive role of passions and appetites. The word emotions or affectivity should be here probably more adequate and one could ask how Socrates could have missed the fact that emotions are, in some cases, indispensable for constructing human knowledge. I can hardly believe Socrates to be so blind to the fact that, in some cases, affective intuition is essential for apprehending values. As it was shown, in my opinion convincingly, for instance by Krokiewicz (1950, 1960, 1971) speaking about "the "beautiful and good" cooperation of the emotions and of the will with the reason that is superior to them") and more recently by Dorter (1997) writing that: "oppositions among them [i.e. appetite, spiritedness and reason] disappear, and the soul is no longer tripartite"), emotions together with other faculties are crucial for ethical progress. I am personally of the same view and would gladly rule out the notion of Socratic (ethical) intellectualism altogether and speak about Socratic ethical integralism instead.
[[1]] This, as well as a transparent structure and a neat presentation of arguments, with concluding remarks at the end of chapters, makes the book pleasant to read. Yet, the footnotes are in so a small character (7-point) that I needed a magnifying glass in order to be sure I read them correctly.
[[2]] Non–English secondary literature is nonexistent for B&S..
[[3]] One can be surprised that there is no mention of the Stoic notion of propatheia.

Tesco, Britain's biggest supermarket group, is to buy Booker, the company behind Londis and Budgens, according to a statement released today from Tesco Plc.
This morning, Tesco CEO Dave Lewis told BBC Radio 4 that despite being quite different businesses, their main focus was both on food.
However, Tesco could significantly boost Booker's limited wine offering which is currently divided into a three-tier wine list structure of basic, intermediate and advanced.
The advanced wine list consists of just nine reds, eight whites, four sparkling, two rose and one fortified option.
Commenting on today's announcement, Lewis made reference to Tesco's recent troubles, which include a damaging accounting scandal and a slump in sales.
He said: "Tesco has made significant progress in turning around our UK retail business. This merger with Booker will further enhance Tesco's growth prospects by creating the UK's leading food business with combined expertise in retail, wholesale, supply chain and digital. Wherever food is prepared and eaten - 'in home' or 'out of home' - we will meet this opportunity with the widest choice and best service available."
Tesco bounced back from financial woes along with most other multiples over Christmas, after announcing a solid festive trading period, which is expected to raise the supermarket's annual profits.
The group said that the deal, which took over a year to negotiate, will bring "benefits for consumers, independent retailers, caterers, small businesses, suppliers, and colleagues, as well as delivering significant value to shareholders".
It could trigger a probe from anti-competition authorities however, who are likely to raise questions over its impact on the UK's grocery sector.
Tesco currently owns the 850-strong One Stop convenience store chain while Booker acquired the Londis and Budgens chains in 2015, which are operated by franchisees but are supplied by Booker.
Charles Wilson, CEO of Booker said of the merger: "Booker is committed to improving choice, prices and service for the independent retailers, caterers and small businesses that we are proud to serve. We believe that joining forces with Tesco offers the potential to bring major benefits to end consumers, our customers, suppliers, colleagues and shareholders."


Andi's been a fighter for as long as she can remember. Her greater size, speed, and stamina make her irreplaceable on the field and a key player in her father's war against the rival Lion clan. When her father fell in battle, it became her duty to lead and protect her people. After a decade of bloodshed, both sides are ready for peace. But the patriarchal Lions won't treat with a female, even if she is queen. Finding a mate and bearing heirs wasn't an option when the survival of her clan was at stake. Now Andi needs a mate, and she's waited so long there are no eligible males left.
Troy, a former slave taken from his clan at a young age, needs answers, answers only his own kind can provide. Without them, he risks losing the most precious thing he has. He treks south, dodging Human patrols for unchipped shifters. With time growing short, his desperation rises. In a Human bar, he finally finds what he's looking for. A chance meeting with another Panther leads to a night of passion, but in the morning, he's left with nothing but an empty bed and a name.
They should be the answer to each other's woes, but it's hard to trust when hidden truths threaten the survival of an entire race.
Troy frowned at her as she stood with her weight on her good leg. "Is there anything the doctor can do for it?" This was one of things Andi would clam up about, but he didn't like seeing her in pain.
Troy followed her gaze and found the tube in question, along with the 'every twelve hours' instructions. He hadn't seen her put it on since before dinner last night, and as he unscrewed the cap of the tube, he knew he hadn't smelled it on her this morning.
She opened her mouth, then closed it, brow furrowing.
She gave him a long look, then tucked her thumbs in the waistband and pulled down, kicking her pants off her ankles.
"Bed might be more comfortable than the bench, don't you think?" He kept his tone light, wary of scaring her off. She could be so temperamental about accepting help.
Energy leapt between them; the air was heavy with it. She was measuring him, trying to decide if she could trust him. He felt like he couldn't move, couldn't breathe, or he'd break the spell. And he also knew, on some level, that if he passed, he'd have no reason not to extend the same trust she was giving him… to her.
She didn't break eye contact. "I don't need you," she whispered, but her eyes told a different tale, full of longing.
He stepped in closer. "I know." He dipped his head, slowly tilting her chin up until their lips brushed against each other, a taste, a test, a connection that immediately had him needing more. His panther prowled, waiting for its chance to claim her, to mark her forever as his.
Alexa has been a fan of all things steamy since… probably too young of an age, in all honesty. Letting her babysit for a Harlequin romance writer wasn't one of the best decisions her mother ever made, but it's too late to turn back now! While Alexa is a voracious romance reader, she likes stories with plot and oomph. If you ever want a wander on the wild side, you've come to the right place.
Alexa is a mom to several fur-babies; two cats and soon-to-be three dogs. She enjoys dog training, reading, writing, nerding out over movies with friends, and is also a table-top gaming enthusiast. She's even been known to DM some 5E Dungeons and Dragons from time to time.

dbmarshal
=========

dbmarshal is a migration tool for MySQL databases.

It works a lot like dbdeploy. It creates a log table in your database that it uses to keep
track of what revision number the database is at. It allows you to store database revisions as
numerically named SQL files and, when asked, will bring your database up to date by running
any such migrations that have not yet been applied.

dbmarshal handles *triggers* and *stored procedures* separately to other types of migration. You can
use ordinary numerical revisions to create such things, but this is probably a bad idea - what if
you subsequently change the structure of tables that the sprocs and triggers rely on? You'll
probably have to search backward through your revisions until you find any that are affected, and
then create another revision that drops and recreates them to work with the new structure.

Rather than bother with all this, dbmarshal stores triggers and sprocs as *static* migrations -
each time you apply an update all the sprocs and triggers on your database are dropped and rebuilt
from static (i.e. not numerically named) scripts. This has the advantage that you can easily see
and read the source of all your triggers and sprocs, and make any changes without having to drop and
recreate the item concerned.

dbmarshal does not provision for undoing migrations, but can *attempt* to roll back if things go
wrong -see **Transactions** below.

Requirements
------------

The install script will install everything you need to run dbmarshal on Ubuntu. For other platforms,
you'll need to find a means of installing the following...

*Python*, the *MySQLdb* Python package and the *sqlparse* Python package.

*Python* and *MySQLdb* are readily available in your favourite package manager.

See http://code.google.com/p/python-sqlparse/ for ways to get hold of *sqlparse*.

Configuration
-------------

Clone or otherwise acquire the dbmarshal source. Life will become easier if you add this directory
to your PATH. This is done automatically if you use the install script. Assuming you have done
this, and with the following information to hand...

    hostname  : The hostname of the database server you want to work with.
    username  : The username you need to use to access this server.
    password  : The corresponding password.
    database  : The name of the schema you want to work with.
    directory : The path at which you will keep your migration files. This will be created for you
                if it doesn't exist.
    alias     : A handy name with which you can reference these settings later. Use 'default' if you
                don't want to bother typing it in later.

...run...

    dbmarshal init <hostname> <username> <password> <database> <directory > <alias>

...this will create a file at

    ~/.dbmarshal/<alias>

...that will store the information you speicify, ready for use.

Migration Files
---------------

There are two kinds of migrations that dbmarshal is willing to deal with. *Static Migrations*,
and *Revisions*. These will need to be placed into two directories under your migration files path.
Your migrations directory therefore should be structured like this -

    my_migrations_directory/
        stored-procedures/
        triggers/
        revisions/

If the required directory structure does not exist when you `dbmarshal init` it will be created for
you.

###Stored Procedures and Triggers###

These are SQL scripts that create either stored procedures or triggers, and can be named whatever
you like, as long as you use an `.sql` suffix. It is probably a good idea name the file after the
trigger or stored procedure that it creates, and it is certainly a bad idea to create more than one
of anything in any one file.

###Revisions###

These are SQL scripts named numerically - `00001.sql`, `000002.sql`, etc. They should each represent
a change that needs to be made to your database structure, which may depend on the existing
structure e.g. adding tables, changing columns, etc. Leading zeros are optional - add as many or as
few as seems appropriate.

Using dbmarshal
---------------

Assuming you have done the above configuration, having supplied `default` as your alias...

    dbmarshal describe

...will display the settings you previously entered.

    dbmarshal status

...will tell you about migrations that have and have not been applied.

    dbmarshal apply

...will apply any waiting migrations that have yet to be applied.

    dbmarshal export_statics

...will create correctly named static migration files for all stored procedures and triggers in your
database.

    dbmarshal create_log_table

...will create a blank log table in your database. This is done automatically the first time you
use `status` or `apply`.

    dbmarshal clone <new_alias>

...will copy the settings saved under `<alias>` to a `<new_alias>`. If you specify 'default' as the
alias then you don't need to bother entering an alias for any other commands.

###Using Other Aliases###

If you choose not to use `default` as your alias, or if you want to use dbmarshal to manage more
than one database, you'll need to specify the alias as the first parameter to dbmarsal, e.g.

    dbmarshal <alias> status

Transactions
------------

dbmarshal does not make use of transactions. It operates with autocommit enabled, so each SQL
statement is committed as soon as it has executed.

This is simply because MySQL's transaction support is not very good. It supports transactions only
for a few operations on InnoDB tables. Certain `ALTER TABLE` operations, `CREATE TABLE` operations
and various other statements cannot be part of a transaction. Transaction support can only really be
relied on for data manipulation operations - `SELECT`ing, `INSERT`ing etc. and the majority of work
anyone is likely to do with a tool such as dbmarshal is probably not going to be of this type.

To keep things simple, dbmarshal leaves transactions up to you: if you want a revision to use a
transaction, surround it with `BEGIN` and `COMMIT`. dbmarshal *will* call `ROLLBACK` in the event
of a revision failing, but unless you have explicitly started a transaction this will not have any
effect.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the one-year period prevalence and factors associated with falls in a community based cohort of women with established inflammatory polyarthritis (IP). METHODS: The Norfolk Arthritis Register is a primary-care based inception cohort of subjects with IP aged 16 years and over. At the 10-year visit, subjects completed the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and were examined for both active and inactive joint involvement. A subset of subjects was invited to complete a questionnaire about falls in the previous 12 months and questions about putative risk factors for falls. Logistic regression was used to determine whether there was any association between falls in the previous year and both putative disease and non-disease related risk factors. RESULTS: Of the 316 women (mean age 59 yrs) who completed the falls questionnaire, 34% reported a fall in the previous year. Falls were more frequent in those over age 75 years, although there was no significant linear increase in risk with age. Swollen joint count [per 10 joints, odds ratio (OR) 1.7; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0, 2.8] and increasing visual analog scale pain score (per 10 mm, OR 1.1; 95% CI 1.0, 1.2) were associated with an increased risk of falls. Those who fell had higher overall HAQ scores (OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.3, 2.3) as well as higher scores for all of the individual domains of the HAQ (OR 1.7 to 2.2). Similarly, low levels of outdoor physical activity (OR 3.3; 95% CI 1.7, 6.5), impaired vision (OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.2, 6.3), and impaired general health (OR 2.9; 95% CI 1.7, 4.8) were associated with an increased risk of falls. In a multivariate model, HAQ score, low levels of physical activity, impaired vision, and impaired general health were independently linked with falls. Sixty-one percent of subjects with 3 of these risk factors had reported a fall in the previous year. CONCLUSION: In this inception cohort of women with longstanding IP, one in 3 reported falling in the previous year. Using a simple measure, a group that had particularly high risk can be identified.

james-mcardle-gemma-chan-star-in-mary-queen-of-scots-in-cinemas-now - Sue Terry Voices
James McArdle & Gemma Chan star in Mary Queen of Scots in cinemas now!
Mary Queen of Scots explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart. Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. But Scotland and England fall under the rule of the compelling Elizabeth I. Each young Queen beholds her "sister" in fear and fascination. Rivals in power and in love, and female regents in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth's sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones - and change the course of history.
Gemma is Bess of Hardwick and James is James, Earl of Moray.

p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) inhibition exerts beneficial effects on left ventricular (LV) remodeling and dysfunction. p38 MAPK activity is transiently increased soon after myocardial infarction (MI), suggesting brief inhibition may afford the same benefit as long-term inhibition. We examined chronic 12-week p38 MAPK inhibition compared with short-term (7-day) inhibition, and then we discontinued inhibition after MI. Post-MI rats at day 7 received either vehicle, 4-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(3-phenylpropyl)-5-(4-pyridinyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-3-butyn-1-ol (RWJ67657; RWJ) for 12 weeks (long term; LT-RWJ), RWJ for 1 week and discontinued for 11 weeks (1-week RWJ), or continuous ramipril for 12 weeks. In separate groups of animals, 24 h after MI, vehicle or RWJ was administered for 7 days. Cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography and hemodynamic measurements. Percentage of fractional shortening improved after LT-RWJ and ramipril, but not after 1-week RWJ treatment. Likewise, LV contractility and maximal first derivative of left ventricular pressure (dP/dtmax) was improved (12.5 and 14.4%) and LV end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) was reduced (49.4 and 54.6%) with both treatments. Functional outcomes were accompanied by regression of interstitial collagen I and α-smooth muscle actin expression in LV noninfarct, border, and infarct regions with LT-RWJ and ramipril treatment. Hypertrophy was reduced in noninfarct (18.3 and 12.2%) and border regions (16.3 and 12.0%) with both treatments, respectively. Animals receiving RWJ 24 h after MI for 7 days showed similar improvements in fractional shortening, dP/dtmax, LVEDP, including reduced fibrosis and hypertrophy. In vitro experiments confirmed a dose-dependent reduction in hypertrophy, with RWJ following tumor necrosis factor-α stimulation. Continuous but not short-term p38 MAPK blockade attenuates post-MI remodeling, which is associated with functional benefits on the myocardium.

I primi anni

Thomas era l'unico figlio di Peregrine Osborne, III duca di Leeds e della sua prima moglie Elizabeth, la più giovane delle figlie di Robert Harley, primo conte di Oxford e conte di Mortimer. Studiò alla Westminster School e alla Christ Church di Oxford, dove si diplomò nel 1731. Nello stesso anno successe al padre come duca. Ricevette un dottorato in diritto civile nel 1738 e divenne membro della Royal Society un anno dopo.

Carriera
Divenne Lord of the Bedchamber nel 1748 e venne nominato giudice dell'Eyre a sud del Trent nel novembre di quello stesso anno. Nel giugno 1749 fu nominato Cavaliere dell'Ordine della Giarrettiera rinunciando ai propri incarichi legali e nel 1756 venne nominato Cofferer of the Household. Fu lord luogotenente del West Riding, nella contea dello Yorkshire, e dal 1761 tornò a ricoprire l'incarico di giudice dell'Eyre ma a nord del Trent. Nel 1766 ereditò la carica di Governatore di Scilly.

Morì all'età di 73 anni a Londra, nella sua casa di St. James's Square, e venne sepolto a Harthill (South Yorkshire).

Matrimonio
Il 26 giugno 1740 sposò Lady Mary Godolphin, seconda figlia di Francis Godolphin, II conte di Godolphin, e di sua moglie Henrietta Godolphin, nata Churchill. La coppia ebbe un figlio:

Inspirations - John Dugdale
In 1993 photographer John Dugdale photographed his Hudson River Valley farmhouse for the New York Times magazine. At that time, he was best know for his atmospheric portraits and still-lifes using the cyantype process, an early form of photography. The photographs were published just before an AIDS related stroke took almost all his sight and left him hospitalized for months. Since that time, he has continued to work with the help of an assistant, sketching and titling each image before it's made. Recently, he has shot a campaign for the Broadway revival of "The Miracle Worker". Here he explains the process he now uses as a blind photographer.

Upcoming Windows Phone 7 Update still won't retain camera settings?
Obviously, there is a lot that Windows Phone 7 users have to look forward to with the platform's first major software update, but it seems that one annoying thing won't be addressed with it.
For those who have the opportunity of using the camera function with Windows Phone 7, they're probably annoyed by the fact that it doesn't retain its settings. Specifically, if you run the camera app and modify things like resolution or sharpness within the options menu, you'll notice that the settings will restore back to the default settings if you happen to exit out of the app. Naturally, it's more of an annoyance than anything else having to constantly changing it back when running the camera app again, but this annoying bug might not be addressed in the upcoming software update for the platform.
The team over at MobileTechWorld managed to get their hands on the latest unlocked emulator of the platform, which brings forth the new features coming with the expected big update, but they've discovered the annoying problem to still occur with the camera app. Unfortunately, there is still no word from Microsoft if they even planned on resolving this unique problem – which means that we're all going to live with this for some time. That's unless they managed to quickly address this one and sneak it into the upcoming update.
WP7 needs some serious updates to even think of competing with ios and android. That little update isn't enough.
Windows Phone 7 really pissed me off. These updates should have been already included with a phone. Ringtones, copy and paste, and others. How long do they expect us to wait???
Lesson learned don't buy a phone with an os that just came out unless you're a reporter, developer, programmer, or Microsoft employee.
And here we were hoping that Microsoft would finally shake it's stigma created by Windows Mobile..
does anybody know , if there will be an update for windows phone 7, to sync you phone offline with outlook ? i think THATS the worst thing they have done wrong with wp7... ringtone ... copy&paste ...whatever !!

Academic Dissertation to be presented with the assent of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Oulu, for public discussion in the Auditorium of the Department of Medical Biochemistry, on December 3rd, 1999, at 12 noon.
Collagens IX and XI are quantitatively minor components of the collagen fibrils in cartilage. The spectrum of the phenotypes caused by mutations in the COL2A1 gene coding for collagen II, the main cartilage collagen, is relatively well defined, but there is little data on the phenotypes caused by collagen IX and XI mutations.
The structure of the human COL11A1 gene coding for the 1 chain of collagen XI was characterized here. It was found to consist of 68 exons and span 160 kb, excluding introns 1 and 4. Over 50 kb of new intronic sequences were defined. The exon-intron organization coding for the major triple helical domain was found to be identical to that of the human COL11A2 gene, which codes for the 2 chain of collagen XI.
The sensitivity of conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE) for mutation detection was improved and tested with a large number of sequence variations in collagen genes. The sensitivity with the revised conditions was found to be close to 100%. In addition, CSGE was found to be a simple and practical method for analyzing large numbers of samples.
Fifteen mutations in the COL11A1 gene and eight in the COL2A1 gene were found by CSGE in patients with Marshall or Stickler syndrome. The genotypic-phenotypic comparison indicated that mutations leading to a premature translation termination codon in the COL2A1 gene resulted in Stickler syndrome and splicing mutations of 54 bp exons in the C terminal half of the COL11A1 gene resulted in Marshall syndrome. The other COL11A1 mutations caused phenotypes overlapping both syndromes.
In an analysis of the COL9A2 gene in 157 patients with intervertebral disc disease, six were found to have a tryptophan for glutamine substitution in the central collagenous domain of the collagen IX molecule. None of 174 control individuals had this substitution. The substitution cosegregated with the phenotype in the families studied, and linkage and linkage disequilibrium analyses supported the association of the locus and the disease with a joint lod score of over 11.

Last week I went to Britmums Live and one of my favourite sessions was the Pinterest session, presented by Lizzie Selby who was so interesting to listen to, at the end she shared with us what's new on Pinterest. You'll know if you've read my blog before that I am a big fan of Pinterest, I've shared with you how to make a pinnable image for your blog or website and I am slowly making all of my blog more Pinterest friendly with the like of rich pins.
But today I wanted to share with you some exciting new things which have been launched on this catalogue of ideas, search tool. Things which I think will be a big hit with users and that I've been loving using.
Ok, ok…I'll get on with it.
Pinterest Lens; Ok, this is cool! When at the search bar look to the side and you will see a camera (used in app mode) simply take a photo of something you love – your colleague's gorgeous new boots or your sister's table lamp for example, and Pinterest will bring up items similar or ideas for what to wear with things, how to style things etc. You can also use images from your camera roll! This feature is all about being inspired by things around you. I still find this kind of technology so cool!
Tried It; When you have recreated a recipe you pinned, or made a craft that you pinned you can mark these as "Tried It" essentially working as a kind of bookmark for ideas people have tried, also adding tips for other pinners. You can find these pins in the "Tried" section of your profile.
Instant Ideas; There's a feature on the homepage called "instant ideas" where the user can find similar ideas without having to leave the current feed; simply by clicking the small circle on the image which unlocks similar ideas.
I hope this was interesting and you learned something new 🙂 If you like it – be sure to Pin it of course!!

Q: R equivalent of SAS OBS= option SAS has OBS= option to limit the number of observation to read. Once put as system options, it can be applied on all the dataset that to be read by the program. It become useful to test the program before running on large full dataset.
Wondering if there is similar option/function in R? Or we have to specify number of observations for each input data frame in R?

A: Expanding the comments into an answer, at the top of your script you can define
OBS = 100 # however many rows you want to start

When reading in data with read.csv, read.table, etc.,
... = read.table(..., nrows = OBS)

As described in ?read.table, if you set nrows (hence OBS) to a negative number (such as the default, -1), it will be ignored.

A: If you have less then 100 rows you can use:
head(my_dataframe,100)

If you have a dataframe with at least 100 variables, will error on you otherwise:
my_dataframe[1:100,]

A: be aware that 'obs' is a short form for lastobs,
the companion option is firstobs
e.g. read rows 1--5: (firstobs=1)
set sashelp.class(obs=5);

e.g. read rows 5--10:
set sashelp.class(firstobs=5,obs=10);

"It's just bants, mate! Just bants!" If you work in any kind of environment, from an office to a building site, you'll be familiar with the term 'banter'. It's that humorous back and forth we all use to make the day a little brighter, to have a joke and a laugh with our colleagues, and to generally brighten up what can be a mundane working environment. But is it 'just bants', or could it be something more sinister, and more harmful?

Past Projects | Homebase – Weatherproofing Advisors Ltd.
The wall cladding to the former Do it All Store was severely deteriorated. The paint surface was peeling off in many areas and the underlying sheet had started to corrode. There was also extensive impact damage to the sheets and flashings, particularly on the door access elevations.
The client wanted to re-brand the property and was considering repainting the wall cladding as his preferred option. The works had to be carried out during the winter months and the client had a three week window for the works to be completed.
It was not possible to guarantee that the works could be carried out within the three week programme, particularly in view of the inclement weather conditions. Closer analysis of the wall cladding panels revealed more surface damage and severe rusting particularly around the cill areas. A repainting exercise could not deliver the quality of finish brief that the client required.
Weatherproofing Advisors proposed overcladding the walls with a single skin plastisol coated steel wall panel incorporating new flashings, cills and trims.
The overcladding was carried out despite low temperatures and heavy rainfall. The wall cladding refurbishment works were completed in 2 weeks well within the programme. The works were carried out off mobile elevated work platforms negating the need for any scaffolding thus allowing other trades to carry out their works. The new wall cladding carried a 25 year manufacturers guarantee compared to the 10 year guarantee for the paint system and gave the new Homebase Store the standard of finish the client required. The cost difference between the overcladding option and painting was negligible.

HRSA is Calling, Will Your TPA Answer?
At the heart of ATRIA 340B's Third Party Administrative Services is a team of dedicated client representatives that maintain relationships with each of the entities and the respective programs we manage. When an entity receives their letter from HRSA, our client representatives are tasked with internal communication and methodical organization to meet the audit requests.
The timely notification of our most recent entity partner's HRSA Audit announcement came just a day before a pre-planned on site discussion with our team at their facility. We were able to utilize the time on site to familiarize our team with pharmacy and entity contacts while working towards a plan for the upcoming audit.
So, what does the process look like from our perspective as a TPA? It looks like pre-audit calls, gathering data elements, helping with entity requests, answering questions, and being available for the day of procedures. It looks like using the relationships we have built with our clients to expedite compliance concerns and quickly resolve any outstanding discrepancies. Above all, it looks like being prepared to meet our entity and pharmacy needs.
Are you prepared for your own HRSA audit? Learn more about our Independent Auditing and Consulting Services.
