Hate Swallows: Reflections on the Passing of Fred Phelps
By the time you read this, Fred Phelps will be dead.
Fred Phelps, who more than anyone in the last two decades has come to symbolize the most viscerally evil edge of Christian heterosexism — and who made a name for himself by picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in combat with "God Hates Fags" signs (since naturally, the only reason the soldiers died was because the U.S. is too tolerant of homosexuality) — is no longer among the living. He has cursed his last lesbian couple, picketed his last funeral, fired off his last hate-saturated fax, filled with utterly out-of-context and maniacally pasted-together Bible verses, all intended to prove his point about the hostile homophobia of the Creator.
Well, if there be a Creator, it is probably safe to say that Fred Phelps is even now learning the hard way (at least one can dream), just how incredibly, indelibly wrong he was while tethered to this mortal coil. Would that his demise might soften the hearts of his church, or rather his family (same thing), which continues to pour forth the bilious codswallop handed down to them by their psychotic father and grandfather, a man so besotted with contempt for virtually everyone outside of his Topeka klavern as to call into question how he managed to live this long. Antipathy, after all, eats away at the body as with the soul, and with as much odium as was regularly emitted from the pores of Fred Phelps, his body should well have given out years ago. His soul, or whatever there was of it, had no doubt rotted decades earlier.
And so now the Phelps fury will fall to the remaining elders of the Westboro Baptist Church, people like Shirley Phelps-Roper, Fred's daughter, who evinces a frenzied, almost orgasmic degree of vitriol every bit as concretized as anything her deranged dad ever managed to show the world. As do the male elders of the church who apparently have been sparring with Shirley, and even went so far as to excommunicate Fred in the months leading up to his demise. Talk about irony: Fred Phelps, kicked out of his own Tabernacle of Spite by those upon whom he bestowed such malevolence in the first place.
Ah yes, and so what goes around really does come around, as Brother Phelps, I figure, is learning right about now and far better than most of us, as he comes to the terrifying realization that hate, indeed, does swallow: sexual pun very much intended. You're welcome.
It is tempting (and let me be honest here, I mean really tempting) to simply say good riddance to a bastard as completely deserving of the send-off as this one. The pain he has inflicted on the world with his proclamations of divine wrath for the evil of same-sex love is deserving, in so many ways, of nothing better or more thoughtful or more kind or compassionate than that which he put out there. And yet, try though I might, and tempted though I am, I cannot find it in myself to hate Fred Phelps. I'm not sure why, but I figure it has something to do with having looked into the man's eyes before, and having seen there the fear, the insecurity, and the fragmented psyche of this villain. I have had my own Fred Phelps moment, and what it revealed to me was telling.
It was April, 1995, and I had traveled to Lawrence, Kansas to speak about the intersectionality of racism and straight supremacy during Pride Week at Kansas University. It was only my third event since heading out on the national lecture circuit, and it was quite the honor to be part of the weeklong celebration. As I learned upon my arrival, KU has one of the longest-standing LGBT student groups in the country: it was, according to their version of it, founded just a week after the Stonewall rebellion in 1969. They also put on — or at least did as of the mid-'90s — one of the most spectacular drag shows I've ever seen, which I had the pleasure of observing outside the student center, all while Fred and his minions paraded with their placards of putrescent vulgarity. It was quite the visual.
Now needless to say, the Phelps crew was not there to protest me. Their presence at the campus that day was focused primarily on the keynote speaker for the week: Olympic Gold Medalist and champion diver, Greg Louganis, who only that February had come out on national television as a gay man and also as someone who was living with HIV. He and journalist Michelangelo Signorile were the real draws for Fred and the bunch, and so amid signs that said things like "God Gave Louganis AIDS," I observed the carnival-like inanity of the event, from behind a veil of virtual anonymity. There were no pictures of me on campus posters announcing my upcoming speech, and since I was only 26, not yet graying, and not far removed from the age of most students, I was able to blend in fairly well in street clothes. The Phelps bunch had no idea who I was, so far as I could tell.
But then I saw it: a sign that seemed as though it had been thrown together almost as an afterthought. "Wise is a Closet Fag" it read. Instantly I knew that I had arrived. I could think of no better honor than to be enshrined on one of the Phelps family's pissy little posters. I decided that I had to have it. To frame it. But how to manage the feat? Suddenly it dawned on me and so I sauntered up to the very young man holding it (who I assume must have been one of Fred's grandkids) and initiated my evil scheme.
"Wait, what?' I said. 'Wise is a closet fag? Are you serious?" I queried, incredulous at the prospects of such a thing, and utterly incognito so far as the younger Phelps was concerned.
"Oh yeah,' he replied, 'He's a big ol' fag!"
Wow, closeted and "big ol'!" Though I wasn't sure how big a fag I could be while presumably ensconced firmly in a closet, I figured I'd play along.
"Well here's the thing,' I said. 'I'm thinking of going to his speech later, and I think it would be really cool if you'd let me have that sign. I could roll it up and then right when he gets going I could unfurl it and hold it up inside the room. That would really show him, don't ya think?"
The young man was visibly excited. Unsure what to do in reply to my request, he called Fred over to discuss it. After relaying my plan to his grandpa, Fred began to beam with excitement. "Why that's great! We don't get much support here at Gay-U," he noted, likely thinking himself quite original for having turned the K into "Gay." I see what you did there Fred. Kudos, you.
Fred stuck out his hand to shake mine, at which point he asked my name. Gripping his contemptible claw tightly I smiled and told him, "I'm Tim Wise," at which point he yanked back his sweaty palm, wiped it on his jogging suit (which was his uniform for these street protests), and said something about me being a filthy fag. I laughed, several of the students watching it laughed. Hilarity ensued, and needless to say I didn't get my poster.
I would see him again the next day, from the back of a convertible in which Greg Louganis and I were sitting, driving slowly down the main strip in Lawrence as part of the official Gay Pride parade. It was an event made even more celebratory by the fact that the night before, the townsfolk of Lawrence had voted to extend anti-discrimination protections to LGBT folks. We were all in a festive mood — well, all but the Phelps brood — and as Greg and I practiced our very best pageant waves from the back of the car, there they were, running down the sidewalk, signs in hand, yelling something about the devil and pitchforks and Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, and Jesus and bathhouses or something to that effect (though I'm assuming not Jesus literally in a bathhouse, but one can never be too sure).
In any event, it was that look on Fred's face, both when we were shaking hands and as he was galloping along with our motorcade, screaming from the sidelines, which sticks with me. It was hateful yes, but behind the hate is what lurks always beneath such a thing: a pitiable, pathetic, frightened and very small person, hoping against hope to be big in the world. None of which excuses the evil that was his daily offering to the universe, but which places it in a context that should be all too familiar. To all of us. For even though most will never be so consumed by bigotry as to waste the precious moments of our lives heaping rancid cruelties upon others, sadly, the self-doubt and uncertainties that often propel such bitterness forward — and surely did in the life of Fred Phelps — can and often do impact us all. We have all had those moments, however less extreme they may be when contrasted with the recently departed patriarch of Westboro Baptist.
Fred's fears were those of a man desperate to know God's will, and if he couldn't know it, then he would just project it onto God as a way to make himself feel better, stronger, more righteous. For people such as he, not knowing for sure what God wants of you and what will come in some desired afterlife is too terrifying to contemplate, and only by knowing that others are unclean and impure and unworthy of God can one like Fred Phelps feel important at all, and secure that his own salvation has meaning. It is also the only way that one such as Fred could push aside and control the sexual insecurities, confusions and ambiguities that almost always mark the most extreme homophobes.
And while the rest of our fears may be less totalizing and quite different as to their origins, they can be no less affecting. A fear of financial insecurity, dying alone without the support of loved ones, wasting our lives in a job we hate, alienation from family never to be put right, or just the fear of our pending obsolescence, and the realization that a few hundred years hence, no one will even know we were here: all of these can bring out the kinds of anger that so animated Fred Phelps. It is an anger we then turn on others, or on ourselves, because doing that is so much easier than learning to love those others, or ourselves.
Sappy, I know, I get it. Love yourself, love others: never has a more trite and simplistic message been put forth at the end of such a long exegesis on the life of an evil man. But truthfully, there is not much more to say. And in moments like this I am reminded of it. When those among us who sow evil pass, it is all the more reason for the rest of us to reflect upon what separates us from them. And while it might make us feel good to retreat into some fanciful conceit that we are simply better than they, more moral, more decent, and incapable of such a descent into tragic and debilitating viciousness, the more sober truth is that in some ways we've just been lucky.
Somewhere along the way, we had teachers, parents, friends, colleagues or mentors who taught us that only love can conquer hate. And somewhere along the way, Fred Phelps received a very different instruction, as have his children and grandkids. Although some have thankfully emerged from that trap relatively unscathed, and have moved on to places of tolerance and acceptance and decency, such is not the norm in cases like this.
For a family nurtured on anger and reared with rage, it is perhaps only by virtue of some inexplicable miracle that any of its members could ever truly learn to love. But if they have, and if we have — exposed as we all have been to so much rancor and prejudice of one form or another in this world — then maybe there is a God, though one far different and more merciful than the one to whom the Phelps family prays at night.
But either way, God or no, what the life and death of Fred Phelps makes glaringly clear is that, as the old saying goes, time is tight. The clock is running, and our children and grandchildren and friends and partners and neighbors are counting on us, and we upon them. And if we do not resolve to teach love and compassion every bit as voraciously as Fred Phelps taught hostility and acrimony, it will be not Fred, but the rest of us upon whom the ultimate blame falls for whatever hatreds manage to swallow the societies we share. Fred Phelps is no more. But we are still here. And as his family (or at least the majority of it) continues to infect and inject still more of their own with the sickness of which Fred was such a contagious carrier, may the rest of us resolve to balance out that hatred, and all of its lesser forms, with something more lasting.

Ronnie Cummins on Growing a Movement
by Elizabeth Greene
For five decades, human rights activist, journalist and author Ronnie Cummins has campaigned for natural health and the environment. Since he co-founded the Organic Consumers Association in 1998, the nonprofit has grown to a network that's 2 million people strong, dedicated to promoting organic food, regenerative farming and commerce through global initiatives that integrate public education, marketplace pressure, media outreach, litigation and grassroots lobbying.
His latest book, Grassroots Rising: A Call to Action on Climate, Farming, Food and a Green New Deal, focuses on Regeneration International, a global network that he and other advocates spawned in 2015 with a goal to reverse global warming and end world hunger by accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture and land management.
What is Regeneration International?
It's a movement that spread when people started to understand that the climate crisis was very, very serious and connected to other crises we face—our health and farmers not being able to make a living, for example. It's about identifying regenerative practices around the world, publicizing them and changing public policy. We use the slogan, "Healthy soil, healthy ecosystem, healthy plants, healthy food, healthy people, healthy animals, healthy climate." All these living systems are interconnected. Regeneration of one system impacts another, which will lead to stabilizing the climate.
What's the difference between organic and regenerative farming?
Regenerative farming is simply the next stage of organic, focusing on soil health, carbon sequestration and ecosystem restoration. We call it "regenerative organic" because people understand organic. But when we devised organic standards, we didn't completely understand soil biology and the carbon cycle. Now we know that there's important biological life below the soil. We understand carbon sequestration. Regenerative organic farming rebuilds the soil, which improves food, health and eventually, the climate. It's a transformation of the food system.
What will it require to achieve the goals of the Green New Deal, which calls for net zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2030?
First, consumers need to understand the interconnectedness of things so that they make decisions to create market pressure. Second, farmers, ranchers and land managers need to use regenerative best practices. Third is political power and policy change to drive regeneration. We need elected officials to understand regenerative ideas and feel pressure from constituents. Officials need to hear that we don't want our tax money used for degenerative practices. Fourth is money. It will take trillions of dollars over the next decade, with much money coming from government funding. But private investments also need to shift. Our savings, pensions and retirement accounts need to be in financial institutions that place assets in regenerative, socially responsible investing.
How can we help address climate change on a personal level?
Every time you pull out your wallet, you are either casting your vote for regeneration or the continuation of degeneration. Everything you buy is a vote. What you talk about and do every day is also extremely important. Americans spend half of their food dollars eating out. Learn to cook, invite people over for dinner, teach your kids how to cook. Eating is an agricultural act.
Everyone should also be active in civic organizations. Run for office. It doesn't have to be in politics, it could be a conservation committee or school board. Do what you can do best inside this regenerative framework and you will have a big impact.
Things aren't hopeless. It's plausible that we are going to solve this. Unfortunately, it took until now for people to wake up. I believe people have an innate love for nature and other people, but if they're hopeless and unaware, they're going to behave as if they don't care. There is an increasing common awareness and responsibility to get the job done. This is a spiritual movement as much as it is an agricultural and alternative energy movement.
What inspired you to write about this issue?
About 10 years ago, I learned that regenerative food, farming and land use, in combination with renewable energy and radical energy conservation, could solve the climate crisis. I did more research, helped form Regeneration International and then saw that there wasn't a roadmap for regeneration. I needed to write the book so that the climate movement would understand regeneration and the food-farming-regeneration movement would understand climate. And I need for everyone to understand that there is hope.

The mere existence of a work—and the contemporary proliferation of work after work after work—is enough to justify the think piece. The fundamental problem with so much contemporary criticism is that the prospective critic is structurally encouraged to not care, to treat the value of one-or-another book/TV episode/movie as wholly irrelevant to the task of writing about it. Sontag wrote that desperate, interpretive searches for meaning constitute "the compliment that mediocrity pays to genius." (One thinks of Henry James's yearning lit-crit protagonist.) The think piece effectively inverts this formulation. Now it is more common to see genius (or perhaps "genius," the work of people who, to nip a phrase from the controversial and cuttingly mean critic Armond White, "think they think") pay compliments to mediocrity. The clarity of critical judgment alights on every rotten movie, grating pop singer, or paperback book written for awkward adolescents alive in the throes of their protean horniness, and dissolves, ultimately, into a sprawling field of meaninglessness. It's not that, following Sontag, erotics has replaced bloodless hermeneutics. It's that we're now subject to soft, dopey forms of both. Enormously erudite and intelligent expositions about extremely stupid things have degraded both the standard for writing about serious things and the seriousness of those serious things themselves.

'People Need to Get Past Thinking That Grading Must Be Done by The People Who Are Teaching'
In the rush to perfect robo-grading, have we overlooked a more elegant solution?
The graders working for EduMetry, based in a Virginia suburb of Washington, are concentrated in India, Singapore, and Malaysia, along with some in the United States and elsewhere. They do their work online and communicate with professors via e-mail. The company advertises that its graders hold advanced degrees and can quickly turn around assignments with sophisticated commentary, because they are not juggling their own course work, too.
The company argues that professors freed from grading papers can spend more time teaching and doing research.

They also have an enormous ability to support litigation against public participation, except in the very limited circumstances where such action is forbidden. Individual atomized humans are thus either co-opted by these entities (you can live very nicely as a CEO or a politician, as long as you don't bite the feeding hand) or steamrollered if they try to resist.
In short, we are living in the aftermath of an alien invasion.

Collagen injections may help erase frown lines, "crow's feet" and nasolabial folds or smile lines. Collagen injections have been around for a while, but have decreased in popularity with the introduction of soft tissue fillers such as Restylane, which can last longer.
Collagen injections are used in lip augmentation or to restore a more youthful appearance by smoothing and plumping up the skin. Collagen temporarily gets rid of crow?s feet, wrinkles, and laugh lines. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon will administer collagen using a fine needle that injects the material just beneath the surface of the skin at several points along the edge of the area to be treated. Collagen injections last from 3 to 4 months for many people, but may last only two months for others.
Collegen is a naturally occurring connective tissue component that provides strength and structure to the skin. Despite the loads of choices in collagen creams and supplements, the only topical product shown to improve collagen on a microscopic level and therefore wrinkles is Retin-A. This can be obtained by prescription or in some skin care lines. Other topical products that can help skin are also available, but none has been shown to improve collagen on a scientific level.
Once your treatment region in numbed, your doctor will make injections in several locations, placing the dermal filler where correction or volume enhancement is desired.
You doctor may massage or manipulate the area where the filler has been placed. The treated area may be cleansed again.
You may be given ice or cold packs to place on the treated area to minimize swelling and bruising.
The entire treatment process may take 20 to 30 minutes or more.
You may experience mild swelling or bruising from any type of injection. Ice or cold packs can help to minimize swelling or discomfort.
You can generally apply makeup over the treated area immediately.
Collagen fillers may result in 2-3 days of swelling and are less likely to result in bruising or redness.
The improvement from most Collagen Injections begins to diminish within 3 to 4 months. Improvement from Evolence is marketed as diminishing within 6 to 12 months after treatment.

The All Odisha Tax Advocates Association (AOTAA) has issued a legal notice to the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) for not extending ITR filing deadline of filing returns of assessees of Odisha for the Assessment Year 2021-2022 and imposing late filing fee under section 234F of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in spite of many technical glitches in the new portal of the Income Tax Department. AOTAA has asked for the ITR filing deadline to be extended as well as the late filing fee collected to be r ..
"Please take notice that after receipt of this letter if your good office doesn't extend the due date for filing of Income Tax Returns as well as Tax Audit Reports to 31/03/2022, then our Association would be constrained to file PIL in the Hon'ble High Court of Orissa with a prayer to direct you to extend the due date for filing of return and Tax Audit Reports for the Assessment Year: 2021-2022 and return back the late filing fees collected u/s.234F of the Act," stated the legal notice dated Jan ..
According to the legal notice, "That although the old portal of the Income Tax Department was working flawlessly and it was user friendly, but the Union Finance Ministry entrusted M/s Infosys Ltd to develop the new portal after the beginning of the Assessment Year:2021-2022. That as per earlier directions of the Hon'ble High Courts CBDT failed to upload schema of the returns forms in the portal in time."
The income tax return (ITR) filing deadline for FY 2020-21 (December 31, 2021) was not extended any further by the government. Even though the ITR filing deadline was extended twice for the financial year, many were not able to complete the exercise on time due to many glitches on the newly launched e-filing portal.
The legal notice also pointed out: That the new portal has been so designed that it takes maximum time to fill up the return forms and upload the same. In certain occasions, the portal was hanged in between filling the ITR forms, which caused inconveniences to the assessees for which the assessees as well as Tax Professionals faced a lot of difficulties in filing those forms by 31/12/2021.
These are the other points mentioned in the legal notice by AOTAA as to why the ITR deadline should be extended.
1.That in the request letter dated-27/12/2021 the aforesaid Association has raised other points of sufferings of the assessees of Odisha viz:- facing frequent cyclones, rain due to low pressure, poor internet and electricity facility, assessees as well as professionals suffering from COVID-19, non-cooperation from banks in getting transaction statements etc.
2. That before filing the return of income it takes more time to verify the Form No.26-AS, AIS and TIS etc. Pertinent to mention here that in most of the cases, the AIS data were not made available to be downloaded due to server issues. Further, in most of the cases, there is a lot of mismatch in the information reported in TIS as compared to the actual details and the same reported in Form No.26AS as well. This has resulted an additional burden on the taxpayers to reconcile the differences befo ..
3. That the technical glitches in the new portal was the top most woo of the Tax Professionals as well as assesssees to file their return of income in time.
4. That the Government has no kiosks or helpdesks etc. to facilitate the assessees to file their return of income and at the same time the assessees were also not educated by the Government to file their return of income online.
5. That the return forms have been made so complicated that it took hours to fill up the same by the Tax Professionals. The condition was even more dreadful in cases of the assesses who wanted to file their own ITRs.
6. That the Infosys Ltd has developed the portal in such a new design so that at times the screen page vanishes without any reason and the technical glitches are that it cannot be described in words.
7. That the assessees from various parts of India including the State of Odisha requested your Honour to extend the due date in order to file the returns of income of the assessees within time allowed under the statute, but the same were not accepted.
8. That to the utter surprise, on the eve of 31st December, 2021, the Learned Principal Secretary (Revenue), Union Ministry of Finance in a Press Meet has intimated the tax payer community that time limit for filing the ITRs would not be extended.
9. That many assessees have submitted some of the papers with the Tax Professionals but their returns could not be filed in time for which the said Professionals will be paying late filing fee (u/s. 234F) to the Government on behalf of the assessees.
10. That there is an urgent need to extend the dates of filling Returns and the Tax Audit Reports to a suitable date so as to allow reasonable time for the Tax Payers and Professionals to comply with the mandatory statutory compliances.
11. That it is needless to mention here that, the levy of late filing fees on the assessees u/s.234F needs to be postponed till 31st March, 2022 in the above circumstances.

NIA DU Genesis of a World ClassInstitute.-
NIA A Proud Legacy in Ayurveda Education
NIA, Jaipur has a proud legacy of more than 175 years. The seed of Ayurveda education under the ambit of NIA had started in Jaipur in the form of a Pathshala (school) of indological studies.
This small school was started five eminent academicians in the premises of Baiji Ke Mandir in 1845. Vd. Jeevan Ram Bhat of the famous Bhat tradition of Jaipur was one among the five founders. Due to increasing pupil enrolment and consequent space constraints this school was shifted to another building in the premises of Ramji Ke Mandir in 1852.
The then King of Jaipur appreciated the popularity and utility of this school of indology and took over the patronage of this school 1865 and it was renamed as Maharaja Sanskrit College in which Ayurveda started operating as an independent department.
The same trend of education of all indology disciplines in one college continued till 1946 when it was decided that Ayurveda education be given a separate institution. Thus, the Ayurveda education in Jaipur shifted to Madhav Vilas Palace in the name of Rajakiya Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya (Govt. Ayurveda College, Jaipur) in 1946.
This college was initially under the patronage of the King of Jaipur before independence and under the Government of Rajasthan post independence. In 1976,when Govt. of India was exploring to establish its first Institute for higher and best quality Ayurvedic education, training and research, this college was selected to be upgraded to the same as recognition of its pioneering and leadership status. During the journey of 175 years NIA has evolved with increasing strength to meet the challenges and needs of the then time while preserving the traditional richness of Jaipur thought of Ayurveda practice.
NIA Proven Mettle in New & Higher Challenges in Ayurveda Education
Government of India selected Govt. Ayurveda College, Jaipur to upgrade and develop it to its National Institute in 1976 with a vision to make it the Apex and World Class Learning Centre in Ayurveda. This promotion in stature was naturally done on basis the then required merits. NIA takes immense pride improving its mettle as a high class Institute in those 43 years. As a deserving recognition to the successful evolution through all the challenges of Ayurvedic education and research and its long standing commitment to its core values of Authentic Traditional Ayurveda with Current Scientific Fillip, NIA was declared as Deemed to be University in the year 2020 by Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi.

Abt secures surprise Berlin Formula E return with NIO 333
Daniel Abt © FIA Formula E
by Rob Watts
1st July 20205 min read
Written by Rob Watts
Daniel Abt will race for the NIO 333 Formula E team for the remaining six races of the 2019/20 season, all of which are scheduled to take place at Abt's home circuit in Berlin this August.
In a surprise turn of events, Abt has signed a deal to partner British driver Oliver Turvey after his NIO 333 team-mate, Chinese driver Ma Qinghua, was ruled out. A team statement earlier this week confirmed that a replacement driver would be required as current travel restrictions would likely prevent Ma's arrival into Europe and his subsequent re-entry back into China.
Rumours of Abt's return intensified last week when he hinted to his Twitch followers that he had "a sheet of paper waiting to be signed", and today NIO 333 have confirmed the signing of Abt on a six-race deal.
"I am very grateful for the opportunity and the trust NIO 333 is giving me. I always loved racing and Formula E, therefore the opportunity to race in the final 6 races, my home races, and continue my record of completing in every single Formula E race is very exciting," said Abt.
"Berlin is a great place for me. I have great memories there and, of course, having a home race is always something special. I will miss the fans, but I hope the viewers at home will see some exciting races."
Speaking of his preparations, Abt added: "I will go to the UK in the middle of July to test the NIO 333 FE-005 car. There are a lot of things to learn and adapt to as the team members, the way of working and all the systems are completely new to me. We will use the time as best as we can. Personally, I will prepare myself mentally and physically for the hard challenge with 6 races almost in a row.
"I have competed in every race in Formula E's history and I have been working with a leading manufacturer for the last 3 years. Therefore, I have a lot of experience and input for the team. I will do everything I can to achieve results together with Oliver."
Vincent Wang, NIO 333 CEO said of the Abt deal: "When the possibility of signing Daniel for the Berlin finale was presented to me, it was an exciting prospect. As the saying goes in the eastern world, 'a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold', but the controversies surrounding him during the Race at Home Challenge reached quite a high level and will bring two opposite opinions.
"In the end, after discussing with some key figures of the paddock, we have decided to give Daniel an opportunity to return to Formula E. We welcome him with open arms into the team, we hope the home hero will redouble our efforts to finish this extraordinary season in style!"
Abt, a 10-time Formula E podium finisher, was released from his Audi Sport contract only last month after the team learned he'd invited professional sim racer Lorenz Hoerzing to take his place in an official Formula E-sanctioned Esports event.
Perhaps somewhat ironically, that race took place at a virtual version of the Berlin Templehof Circuit at which he'll now compete this August with the NIO 333 team.
With Formula E having not raced since the end of February, Abt remains one of only three drivers to have competed in every Formula E race since the championship began, and was a winner at the Berlin Templehof Circuit as recently as 2018.
Earlier this year, Abt suggested to Inside Electric that he'd be unlikely to seek another drive were his contract not to be renewed at the end of this season and maintained he had little interest in racing in another category.
It's understandable though that the nature of Abt's departure from Audi has left him with a bitter taste in his mouth and perhaps a feeling of unfinished business in the series where he's arguably built his reputation.
Speaking on the Inside Electric Podcast last month (prior to the events that led to his exit), Abt said he wouldn't be taking Formula E's 'Race at Home' sim racing championship too seriously, explaining that he didn't "have the time to spend in my sim the whole day", and admitting "I don't have enough fun, to be honest."
🎙#ICYMI – Speaking exclusively to Inside Electric a few weeks back, @Daniel_Abt told us quite candidly how he'd already given thought to his future and what he'd do were his time in @FIAFormulaE to end.

After losing his position at Audi, Abt released a video on his YouTube channel, saying: "I made a huge mistake. I stand by it. I hope you can forgive me," before adding that he "felt pain, which I have never felt this way in my life."
At last year's Bern E-Prix, Abt indicated that leaving Formula E would likely mean the end of his racing career altogether, saying: "I've had five amazing years so far and I've loved it and enjoyed being here but I see how other motorsport is evolving, I go to a lot of other series and I watch races but I just don't see the same atmosphere and spirit so it just does not really attract me."
It remains to be seen whether Abt's short-term NIO 333 deal was signed with a view to securing a more competitive return next season, or whether the 27-year-old sees it simply as the perfect chance to close the chapter on his racing career once and for all and at the circuit where he arguably reached his peak back in 2018.

It might be a good idea for every theater showing Mike Newell's "Love in the Time of Cholera" to install extra fire extinguishers, maybe even hire a few intimidating-looking policemen to stand around with their arms folded. Forget the exhausted argument that no movie adaptation can ever match the pleasure of reading: Once fans of Latin American novelist Gabriel García Márquez get a load of the stink-burger Newell has made out of this much-adored book, there'll be rioting, firebombs and general mayhem. Or at least many indignant snorts.
García Márquez's 1985 novel tells the story of a man who, in his youth, pledged eternal love to a woman who ultimately rejected him. Yet he kept his pledge, returning to court her in old age, after the death of her husband. The story unfolds in a rich, leisurely fashion, and once you settle into it, it's seductively evocative. García Márquez writes about love in a way that reminds us it's a part of nature. The story is set in Colombia in the late 19th century to the early 20th, eras in which people still wore oppressively proper clothes, even in warmer climes. García Márquez makes us feel every droplet of heat and humidity -- this is a place where time moves more languorously than it does in other parts of the world.
Time doesn't move languorously in Newell's adaptation; it drops off into so many narcoleptic naps that it barely stirs. The picture tries so hard to be lyrical, you're aware of every beat. Javier Bardem plays Florentino Ariza, the loyal lover: Bardem skims through this interminable movie with a surprising degree of grace, balancing the character's lovesickness with his almost comically healthy libido. (Florentino may be loyal to his lady love, but he sure doesn't save himself for her.) Bardem has a good face for period roles: There's something defiantly uncontemporary about that broad, noble brow, and he's easy to watch here. The striking, noble-looking Giovanna Mezzogiorno is his beloved Fermina Urbino. (The actress bears an uncanny resemblance to the young Debra Winger.) Benjamin Bratt is Dr. Juvenal Urbino, Fermina's husband, a mannered, moderately insufferable straight-arrow physician; Bratt struts through the role as if propped up by an invisible walking stick.
With "Love in the Time of Cholera," Newell -- whose last movie was the fine "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" -- has somehow come up with a picture that's both florid and stiff. (The script is by Ronald Harwood, who has at least two terrific book adaptations to his credit: "The Pianist" and Julian Schnabel's upcoming "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.") Even some very good actors get hung up on the aggressively curlicued dialogue. Liev Schreiber appears very briefly as the young Florentino's employer; trying to cheer up the heartbroken lad, he exclaims, "You need to take your mind off her -- come with me to the whorehouse!" He's so falsely robust that he appears to have wandered in from a community theater production of "H.M.S. Pinafore." John Leguizamo, as Fermina's social-climbing, toothpick-chewing papa, gives one of the weirdest performances I've seen all year; delivering his lines, he drifts in and out of near-incomprehensible Brandoese. Of all the supporting actors, Catalina Sandino Moreno, as Fermina's cousin Hildebranda, is the liveliest presence: You forget, momentarily, what a stinker you're watching while she's on-screen.
Shot by Affonso Beato (the cinematographer behind some pretty stunning-looking pictures, among them "The Queen" and "All About My Mother"), "Love in the Time of Cholera" does at least offer us some nice, crisp colors: It opens with a glimpse of a parrot whose feathers are a particularly vivid green, a shot that seemed like a promise of good things to come. But even though the movie looks pretty enough, it never feels hot, or even just warm. The closest it comes is a scene in which Benjamin Bratt's face just looks excessively shiny, as if it had just been spritzed with faux perspiration. Forget the heat of passion: The movie never breaks a sweat.

Birthing in Our Community is a program that works
STORY BY Grant Wilson
Photography by Bobbi Lockyer, Wayne Quilliam, Ian Waldie, Bobbi-Lee Hille
Once a year in Australia a ritual plays out, in three main steps.
Those working in the Indigenous sector, including in key areas such as health, education and housing, make submissions to the Commonwealth government for funding at the annual Federal Budget.
The Budget is then handed down, as it will be tonight in Australia, with much fan fare. There will be mention of Indigenous funding, but the topic will be lost in the broader mix and alternative priorities, and in the news cycle as well.
In the next couple of weeks the Minister for Indigenous Australians will then issue a press release summarising the new funding for the Indigenous sector. It will be spun as generous and targeted, when in reality it will be entirely inadequate versus needs, and the process itself will remain in the hands of bureaucrats in Canberra.
For those working in the sector this is a dispiriting cycle. The politics are dysfunctional, the need is great, the historical injustice is manifest and the international parallels, especially to Canada and New Zealand, are galling.
On a more positive note, and with thanks to the Together Project, here is a good news story, set within this broader context.

Closing the Gap requires funding
The Morrison government has pledged a women-friendly budget on May 11. It should include funding to redress the unacceptable maternal and neonatal health outcomes in our Indigenous community.
In June last year we highlighted the significance of the impending National Agreement on Closing the Gap. This was a breakthrough moment, as it involved shared decision making, rather than merely consultation, as between (then) COAG, and the Coalition of Peaks, a representative body of approximately fifty community controlled organisations.
We said that the federal budget, that was delayed until October due to COVID-19, would be the test of whether the Morrison government was 'fair dinkum', in terms of following through. Bear in mind that under the National Indigenous Reform Agreement of 2008, COAG committed fully $4.6bn to fund the first iteration of Closing the Gap, via Federal Financial Relations arrangements.
The Morrison government duly failed that test.
The budget papers are heavy going for anyone, but new commitments, across the entire Indigenous sector, were in the (low) hundreds of millions of dollars. The biggest ticket items were for Indigenous Business Australia, the Clontarf Foundation (a non-for-profit that supports young Indigenous men), and for remote housing in Queensland and the Northern Territory. There were also significant cuts announced, most notably to the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) and the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC).
New funding for Closing the Gap was derisory, around $10 million over four years. And this was to cover the administrative costs of annual reports, along with three year reviews.
On net basis the entire exercise was close to a wash.
This contrasts to Canada, where the budget last week included in excess of C$18 billion dollars in new investment over the next five years to "improve the quality of life and create new opportunities for people living in Indigenous communities." The centrepiece was infrastructure, inclusive of water, housing, schools and roads, and for those First Nations living on-reserve.
For reference, First Nations people in Canada represent around 5% of the population: in Australia that is closer to 3.3%. Canada's economy is larger that Australia's, but not by much. Our exchange rate is near enough to parity.
Overton Window
The most damning aspect of this is that the pandemic opened up what is referred to in political science circles as the Overton window.
Broadly construed, this is the range of policies that is acceptable to mainstream opinion at a given point in time. It explains why the Morrison government was able to pivot toward Jobkeeper, for example, without losing the confidence of the electorate. An idea that would have previously been considered radical, was now acceptable, even popular, independent of the political ideology of the incumbent government.
There is no doubt that the Morrison government could have and should have pivoted the funding model for the Indigenous sector over the past year. While the pandemic may have been a pretext, the National Agreement was the substance.
Instead, Canberra bogged itself down with a proposal from the Productivity Commission that envisions a new bureaucratic body known as the Office of Indigenous Policy Evaluation (OPIE). The proposal has some merits, as we discussed last time. But in the circumstances, it represented a distraction at best, and a deflection at worst.
The Productivity Commission has form here, having authored the highly influential Indigenous Expenditure Reports (IER) in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2017.
These are the same reports that enabled Warren Mundine in 2016, then Chair of the Indigenous Advisory Council, to notoriously claim that $30 billion was being spent annually on 500,00 Indigenous people.
It is difficult to understate the damage this claim did over subsequent years in political circles.
When the Productivity Commission publishes its next IER (there is no timetable), it would be well advised to highlight that direct funding to the Indigenous community represents only around 18% of the total, and to adjust for need (and remoteness) more generally.
The most important contribution the Productivity Commission could make is to belatedly recognise that a dollar in community-controlled hands, is more productive than a dollar in the hands of bureaucrats in Canberra, and their many highly paid consultants.

Birthing in Our Community
Even if the macro level is fundamentally broken, there are things to do at the micro level.
Providing funding for, and endorsement of, what is referred to as Birthing in Our Community (BiOC), is an excellent example.
There are six key components to this redesigned health service: 1. Partnership enabling First Nations leadership and governance; 2. Continuity of midwifery carer; 3. First Nations workforce; 4. Cultural safety framework; 5. Holistic wrap-around services and 6. Coordinated care integrating primary health network with tertiary services. The emphasis is squarely upon providing a culturally safe and supportive and holistic approach, even if within a hospital environment.
The forerunner here is the partnership between the Institute of Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH), based in South East Queensland, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service, Brisbane and the Mater Hospital.
Importantly, in March, a paper was published in Lancet, by Professor Sue Kildea, Charles Darwin University, in collaboration with partners. The summary findings, based upon the rollout of BiOC for women having babies at Mater in Brisbane between 2013 and 2019, are startling.
They include an almost 40 per cent reduction in preterm births, a 46 per cent increase in women attending more than five antenatal visits and an almost 66 per cent increase in breastfeeding. Additional outcomes included less planned caesareans, less epidurals in labour and less admissions to neonatal wards.
There was also a six-time increase in the associated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce.
These spectacular results need to be set against the second of the sixteen targets adopted in terms of Closing the Gap. This simply reads that children are born healthy and strong.
To be sure, as, with everything in the Indigenous sector, there is a myriad of complexities in terms of rolling out BiOC, especially on a national basis. The principal requirements pertain to infrastructure and service delivery money for the Community Controlled Sector, insurance for midwives, along with adjustments required to the Medicare Benefits Schedule.
But even a staged rollout in Queensland, where the integrated IUIH network would likely guarantee success, would be welcome at this point, enabling the model to gain further traction.
Besides this, the funding required is insignificant. Indeed, BiOC would pay for itself in time, in terms of the expenditures avoided on neonatal care for preterm births.
The only real question is whether Canberra is listening. We will find out on May 11.

Born as Matthew Bruce Mantei on the 7th July 1973, in Tampa, Florida USA, and is a former baseball player, who played for the teams of the Major League Baseball (MLB) such as the Florida Marlins, Boston Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks. His career was active from 1995 until 2005.
Have you ever wondered how rich Matt Mantei is, as of mid- 2016? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Matt Mantei`s net worth is as high as $12 million, an amount acquired through his successful career as a baseball player.
Although born in Tampa, Matt attended River Valley high school in Three Oaks, Michigan. When he turned 18, Matt was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 25th round of the amateur draft. As normal with most rookies, he spent four years in the minor leagues, before he was brought into the first squad.
He made his MLB debut in 1995 playing for the Florida Marlins as a relief pitcher. In his first two seasons he played in only 26 games, due to inexperience, and he missed entirely the 1997 season because of an injury. However, his breakthrough season was 1998, in which he played in 42 games, and had 2.96 ERA. That season he signed a contract extension with the Marlins, however in 1999 he was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Vladimir Núñez, Brad Penny and Abraham Núñez.
He stayed in Arizona until 2004, and while there he played his best baseball, so his net worth increased to a large degree, thanks to the contract he signed worth $25 million over five years. In his first season with the Diamondbacks he had 32 saves, however the next two he was troubled by injuries, which kept him sidelined for most of the season.
He had an operation on his elbow, and underwent "Tommy John" surgery to repair the damage. In 2002 he tried to come back to the field, however it wasn`t until 2003 that he played a competitive game, and in that season he had 29 saves and 2.62 ERA.
In 2004, he had trouble again with his elbow, and missed most of the season, after which his contract expired.
In 2005 he signed a contract with the Boston Red Sox, however, after only three games he was placed on the disabled list, and was then waived by the club.
The following year he was in the Detroit Tigers training camp, but again felt pain in his elbow, and didn`t come back to baseball until the 2008 season, but that was yet another unsuccessful comeback, as his arm couldn`t recover to 100%, and so he retired in March that year.
Matt had quite an arsenal in his hands; his fastballs reached speeds of 95mph to 100mph, and he also threw sharp and slider.
Regarding his personal life, Matt is married to Erica, however, there are no details in the media about their family life.
1 Made major league debut on 18 June 1995.
2 Pitcher with the Florida Marlins (1995-1996, 1998-1999[start]), Arizona Diamondbacks (1999[end]-2004), and Boston Red Sox (2005).
3 Last name is pronounced "MAN-tie".

Polly was a robot created at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Ian Horswill for his PhD and published in 1993 as a technical report.

Polly was the first mobile robot to move at animal-like speeds (1m per second) using computer vision for its navigation. It was an example of behavior-based robotics. Horswill's PhD supervisors were Rodney Brooks and Lynn Andrea Stein. For a few years Polly gave tours of the AI laboratory's seventh floor, using canned speech to point out landmarks such as Anita Flynn's office. When someone approached Polly, it would introduce itself and offer a tour, asking them to answer by waving their foot.

The "Polly algorithm" is a way to navigate in a cluttered space using very low resolution vision to find uncluttered areas to move forward into, assuming that the pixels at the bottom of the frame (the closest to the robot) show an example of an uncluttered area. Since this could be done 60 times a second, the algorithm only needed to discriminate three categories: telling the robot at each instant to go straight, towards the right or towards the left.

Polly was built from minimalist machinery and runs on a hardware platform that could be duplicated for less than $10,000. The machine was intended to show that very simple visual machinery can be used to solve real tasks in unmodified environments.

We recently solved the crystal structure of a protein designed by fiendish_ghoul in Puzzle 1331! The crystal structure shows that the protein folds up exactly as fiendish_ghoul originally designed it, with a Cα RMSD of 0.9 angstroms! Congratulations to fiendish_ghoul! We've uploaded the refined electron density map into Puzzle 1516, so players can try folding a model into the electron density. Check it out now!
Since Apple will soon be limiting support for 32-bit applications (https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=06282017a), we will be updating the macOS version of Foldit to 64-bit in an upcoming update, and the existing 32-bit version of Foldit will no longer be supported. This will likely require re-downloading the macOS installer.
It's Citizen Science Day and the fine folks over at the Human Computation Institute together with SciStarter have put together an event called the CitSciDay HERO Challenge. Players go around and try out some cool citizen science games and earn badges. You may have guessed it, Foldit is involved this year! There are likely to be some fresh faces in chat from people coming by to earn their badge and try Foldit on for size. If you want to check out the event (or claim your Foldit badge!) check out the blog post here.

A method of preparing stackable composite materials. The material stacked includes glass fiber layers interspersed with nanocomposite layers. Nanocomposite layers comprise a nanofiller that is dispersed in a cured epoxy matrix. The nanofiller may be either silicon carbide or aluminum oxide nanoparticles. Adjacent and noncontiguous glass fiber layers are oriented in a single-directional direction or in a quasi-isotropic position.
What is a patent?
A patent is issued by the government to protect the invention. The patent grants the inventor the sole right to create, use and market the invention. Society gains when new technologies are introduced to market. These benefits may be directly realized as people are able to accomplish feats previously unattainable as well as indirectly through the economic benefits which innovation can bring (business growth, jobs).
Many pharmaceutical companies and researchers at universities seek protection under patents for their research and developments. Patents can be granted to a product, process, or method of creating new materials. Patent protection has to be granted to any invention that is valuable or novel and is not previously known to others in the same area.
Patents reward inventors who have commercially successful inventions. They are an incentive to inventors to create. Small companies and inventors can rest assured that they will get the most return from the investment they make in technology development via patents. They could earn a decent income from their work.
Businesses that have the capacity to:
Create and protect innovative products and services;
Improve the value, the popularity, and appeal of your products on the market;
Stand out and differentiate yourself and your product from the competition.
Access business and technical expertise and data;
Avoid the risk of accidentally using third-party proprietary content, or losing important information, creative outputs, or another creative output.
Patents transform inventors' information into a tradeable asset that opens up new possibilities for employment creation and business expansion by licensing or joint ventures.
Small-scale businesses with patent protection are more appealing to investors in the commercialization and development of technology.
Patenting can lead to the development of innovative ideas and inventions. The information you create may be eligible for protection under patents.
Patents can be used to stop untrustworthy third-party companies from earning through the work of inventions.
Revenues from patent-protected technology that are commercially successful can be used to fund technological research and development (R&D), which will boost the likelihood of improved technology in the coming years.
Intellectual property ownership is a way to convince lenders and investors that there are real chances to commercialize your product. Sometimes, a single patent could open the door to multiple financing opportunities. Patents and other IP assets as collateral or security to secure financing. Investors can also see your patent assets to increase their company valuation. Forbes and others have noted that each patent can increase between $500,000 and a million dollars in company valuation.
Start-ups require a well-constructed business plan that builds on the IP to show that your product or service is distinctive, superior, or innovative. Investors will also be impressed if you can show that your IP rights are secured or are in progress of being secure and that they are in line with your business strategy.
It is crucial to protect an invention before applying for patent protection. Making an invention public before filing it is often detrimental to its originality and render it unpatentable. Thus, disclosures that are filed prior to filing (e.g. for testing-marketing investors, test-marketing, or any other business partners) should only be made upon signing a confidentiality contract.
There are several types of patents, and understanding these is vital to safeguard your invention. Utility patents are for inventions and processes that are new. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Utility patents are the best since they protect the proprietor from copycats and other competition. Frequently they are granted for alterations or improvements on existing inventions. Utility patents also cover improvements and changes in existing inventions. For example, a process patent will be able to cover actions or methods of performing an action, while chemical compositions are an assortment of components.
What is the length of time a patent will last? Although utility patents last for 20 years from the date of their earliest filing, they may be extended by delays at the patent office.
Are you considering the patenting of your idea? Since patents are only granted to applicants who file first You must make your application quickly. Contact an attorney for patents at PatentPC to protect your idea now!
When drafting an application for patents it is recommended to conduct an internet search for patents, since the search can provide an understanding of other people's ideas. It will help you limit the scope of your idea. Also, you can find out about the technological advancements in the field you're inventing. You'll have a better idea of what your invention should be and be better prepared to write your patent application.
The first step to get the patent you want is to do an internet search for patents. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. Patent-pending is the name used to describe the product protected by the patent application. You can use for the public pair to locate the patent application. When the patent office is satisfied with your application, you will be able to do a patent number look to locate the issued patent. Your product will then be patented. You can also utilize the USPTO search engine. Read on for more details. A patent lawyer or patent attorney can advise you on the procedure. Patents granted in the United States are granted by the US trademark and patent office, also known as the United States patent office and trademark office. This office also reviews trademark applications.
Are you interested in finding similar patents? Here are the steps you should follow:
1. Think of terms to describe your invention based on the intention, composition, and use.
Write down a concise detailed explanation of your invention. Don't use generic terms like "device", "process" or "system". Instead, think about synonyms for the terms you initially chose. Next, take note of significant technical terms, as well as key words.
Use the questions below to help you determine the keywords or concepts.
What's the goal of the invention? Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
Is the invention a method of creating something or performing a function? Does it constitute a product?
What is the structure of the invention? What is the physical composition of the invention?
What is the goal of this invention?
What are the technical terms and keywords that describe the essence of an invention? To assist you in finding the appropriate terms, use the technical dictionary.
2. These terms will enable you to search for pertinent Cooperative Patent Classifications on the Classification Search Tool. If you're not able to find the right classification to describe your invention, look through the classification's class Schemas (class schedules). If you don't see any results using the Classification Text Search, you may want to consider replacing the words for describing your invention with synonyms.
3. Go through the CPC Classification Definition for confirmation of the CPC classification you found. If the selected classification title has a blue box with a "D" at its left, clicking on the hyperlink will take you to a CPC classification's description. CPC classification definitions will help determine the relevant classification's scope which is why you can be sure to select the most appropriate. These definitions may also include research tips or other suggestions that can be useful for further study.
4. The Patents Full-Text Database and the Image Database allow you to search for patent documents that have the CPC classification. By focusing on the abstracts and illustrations, you can narrow down your search to find the most relevant patent publications.
5. This collection of patent publications is the best to examine for similarities to your invention. Pay attention to the claims and specification. Contact the applicant as well as the patent examiner for additional patents.
6. Find patent applications published in the public domain using the CPC classification you selected in Step 3 of the Applications Full-Text and Image Database. The similar search strategy can be employed as Step 4. You can filter your search results in order to locate the most relevant patent applications by looking over the abstracts as well as the drawings on every page. After that, take a close look at the patent applications that have been published and pay particular attention to the claims and additional drawings.
7. You can look up other US patent publications by keyword searching in AppFT or PatFT databases, and the classification search of patents that are not issued in the United States as per below. Also, you can utilize web search engines to search non-patent patent disclosures in literature about inventions. Here are a few examples:


Your graduate work was on bacterial evolution, but now you're lecturing to 200 freshmen on primate social life. You've taught Kant for twenty years, but now you're team-teaching a new course on "Ethics and the Internet". The personality theorist retired and wasn't replaced, so now you, the neuroscientist, have to teach the "Sexual Identity" course.
Everyone in academia knows it and no one likes to admit it: faculty often have to teach courses in areas they don't know very well. The challenges are even greater when students don't share your cultural background, lifestyle, or assumptions about how to behave in a classroom.
In this practical and funny book, an experienced teaching consultant offers many creative strategies for dealing with typical problems. How can you prepare most efficiently for a new course in a new area? How do you look credible? And what do you do when you don't have a clue how to answer a question?
Encouraging faculty to think of themselves as learners rather than as experts, Therese Huston points out that authority in the classroom doesn't come only, or even mostly, from perfect knowledge. She offers tips for introducing new topics in a lively style, for gauging students' understanding, for reaching unresponsive students, for maintaining discussions when they seem to stop dead, and - yes - for dealing with those impossible questions.
Original, useful, and hopeful, this book reminds you that teaching what you don't know, to students whom you may not understand, is not just a job. It's an adventure.
The book is published by Harvard University Press.
Would you consider the audio edition of Teaching What You Don't Know to be better than the print version?
I think this book would be better in print. A number of helpful tips and classroom exercises are given that I'd like to access repeatedly. Not as easy when an audible book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Teaching What You Don't Know?
The sense that I'm not alone in experiencing feelings of fraudulency and inadequacy as a tertiary educator who is assigned classes outside my area of expertise.
Yes. I found the book to be witty and edgy. The narrator was almost robotic and the author's wonderful writing style was not communicated as effectively as it could have been.
Highly recommended for any tertiary educator!
A lotvof useful examples and advice on improving your teaching, not only limited on teaching outside your competence. The introduction is a bit too long,must survive it,gets interesting when the practical part starts.
I joined our faculty 10 years ago and have taught 20 new courses. Great book!
Authoress needs to follow own advice.
Good useful info. but repetetive and poorly organised. Much of the guidance applies equally to lecturers teaching within their fields. A good edit would turn this into 2 books: A short one dealing with the title and a longer once with best lecture and prep practices.
Would you listen to Teaching What You Don't Know again? Why?
Yes, very practical and very useful.
What about Rebecca Van Volkinburg's performance did you like?
Very good performance. Very apt for the book.
