Author: Douglas Doman
Paperback: 120 pages (over 160 photographs)
Publisher: Square One Publishers
Teaching an infant or toddler to swim is not only a matter of safety, it's also a great way to stimulate the child's physical coordination, concentration, and intelligence. That's right. By teaching your baby the proper swimming techniques, you can actually enhance his or her learning ability, while also making your child happier, healthier, and more self-confident. Based on the revolutionary learning principles developed at The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, How To Teach Your Baby To Swim is a clear and easy-to-follow guide to teaching your child swimming basics.
With over 160 illustrative photographs, this important book present detailed instructions on all the core skills necessary to swim properly, including breath control, kicking, and submersion. All of these skills come together as you teach your baby to dive, float, and swim – as well as to love being in the water.
Thousands of young children have utilized this swimming program with excellent results. Now for the first time, child development expert Douglas Doman makes this time-tested program available to the general public. With How To Teach Your Baby To Swim in hand, you can be certain that the time spent with your child will pay dividends that last a lifetime.
A child's level of physical activity is directly related to, and is a vital component of, overall health and fitness. This includes assisting in the development of virtually all systems of the body and stabling a life-time of various mental and physical benefits. Physical inactivity is damaging, and is the start of a long process of injury that can only worsen with age. The decision to be active, and its implementation, is best made early in life, ideally immediately after birth.
Of profound importance is the impact swimming has a on a baby's developing brain. This includes not only physical development, but intellectual proficiency as well. The sooner a child is exposed to these great benefits, the sooner and more effectively the brain responds to them. After all, next to eating, the baby's primary task is learning. Babies should be raise on purpose, not by accident.
The period to take advantage of this phenomenal development is relatively short, as the child's brain essentially reaches maximum growth by around six years of age.
Newborns can perform very little physical activity, except when in the water. At this age swimming is the best way to pursue a healthy and fit life, including the encouragement of optimal brain growth and development. The only other factor needed is you.
You and your baby will embark on an incredible journey, and this book is a roadmap. The author provides a simple program with a very high level of effectiveness. It's the result of more than fifty years to search and discovery with both rain-injured and well children by the staff of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. This continuous quest for answers to the problems children face has taken the most senior members of the team around the world – from the Xingu in Brazil Centrale to the Bushman of the Kalahari Desert – and back to mankind's earliest beginnings.
The author literally grew up at The Institutes, founded by his father, Glenn Doman. Glenn's half-century of helping brain-injured children function better through crawling, creeping, walking, swimming, and running, and of helping well children to achieve extraordinary brain function, is discussed in his books How to Teach Your Baby to Be Physically Superb and What to Do About Your Brain-Injured Child.
I was asked to edit this book because of my extensive experience in working with some of the world's top swimmers and other athletes, and because of my work at The Institutes in the area of brain development.
The program outlined in this book will not only be a great beginning for your child's overall development, but it will help you recover from pregnancy and further strengthen the family bond.
As a mother, perhaps your most important responsibility is to help your child develop into the best human being possible. There is no better time to provide this opportunity than now.
~ Dr. Philip Maffetone
Consultant to professional athletes, past president, The International College of Applied Kinesiology
Babies love to swim.
They should have the opportunity to swim right from birth. In fact, swimming helps to stimulate brain growth and development at a critical time. Swimming also provides an excellent opportunity for the newborn baby to develop physically when it is difficult for him to move on land.
It is especially important for the newborn baby to have the opportunity to move in the first few days and weeks of life. When born the baby has the advantage of being light in weight but the disadvantage of being inexperienced in movement. If given the opportunity to move each day, the baby will gain much-needed experience, but will also gain weight. This makes his job more difficult.
The newborn is in a race against time. The baby must gain mobility function before he gains too much weight. Swimming provides an ideal opportunity for the newborn to move in an environment where he will actually be buoyant and where baby fat will be advantageous rather than making life more difficult.
In truth the newborn has actually been "swimming" in utero for months. Swimming is one of many ways that we can provide sensory stimulation and opportunity that grow the brain. If we are smart about providing appropriate stimulation and opportunity, then teaching the baby will be a joyous process for mother and baby.
It is common for the children we teach at The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential to be excellent swimmers, but they also excel in running, biking, gymnastics, and ballet by the time they are six years old. The sum of these activities is much greater than each alone.
Since 1977 thousands of mothers have attended The Institutes How To Multiply Your Baby's Intelligence course. These mothers returned home to help their babies develop to very high levels of brain function.
Our work with brain-injured and well children has supported what we know to be true – all babies are "water babies." The mission of The Institutes is to teach parents how to help their children reach high levels of physical, intellectual, and social ability.
The Institutes is a research and teaching organization. It is our responsibility to create new methods to develop the brain of both the brain-injured and well child, and teach those methods to parents. This book is part of that process.
The baby will reap many benefits from learning to swim right from birth. He will develop better physical strength and coordination. These abilities will enhance the ability to crawl on the belly and to creep on hands and knees. Our babies are "floor babies" and they learn how to move against the force of gravity. It is truly a miracle in twelve months that the baby's brain – which had very little information about moving in gravity – has developed intricate sensory and motor areas in such a short period of time.
As a baby develops these mobility functions, breathing will become deeper, more regular, and more mature. This enhance respiration helps the baby to be able to make sounds, which improves communication and overall language development. When the baby is able to communicate better with mother and father, baby is happier and more content. These are all valuable "side effects" of learning to swim.
The newborn progresses, becomes more confident, and becomes a true "water baby." The baby learns how to handle himself in the water. Ultimately the baby will be much safer in the water than other children who may be twice the age.
An adventure has begun from the newborn's initial swim to the first walking steps. Along the way the baby will make a thousand mobility experiments to discover what to do and how to do it. Swimming is literally the springboard for this adventure and these discoveries.
The objective of this book is to teach mothers and fathers how to teach their baby not only to swim, but to adore swimming. By so doing, the baby will gain many other abilities that will serve him throughout life.

The way in which the North Hempstead Town Board and the Hempstead Town Board recently handled similar situations is, in my mind, a testament to the true distinction between the GOP machine and the North Hempstead Democrats.
Faced with the need to appoint a town clerk in the wake of the Republican town clerk being convicted of harassment charges involving employees in his office, the GOP-controlled Hempstead Town Board took the "typical politics route"— appointing the individual currently running for election as a Republican to the position of town clerk. This gives their candidate a tremendous advantage as an incumbent, with the full power of the office, as she runs in the November election.
In North Hempstead, faced with the resignation of Supervisor Jon Kaiman (who was chosen by Governor Cuomo to take a position with state government), the Democratic-controlled North Hempstead Town Board chose the "good government route" and appointed a highly respected former judge as interim supervisor through the end of December. The Board could have easily taken the "politics as usual" approach of appointing Democratic Supervisor candidate Judi
Bosworth to the post, giving her a leg up. Instead, the four Democratic town board members (over the complaints of the two hyper-partisan Republican members – one of them herself running for town supervisor) did the right thing – leaving the decision of who should fill the full term of office for supervisor to the voters in the November election.
This is one of the many reasons why I plan to vote for the entire North Hempstead Democratic team in November. They continue to place the emphasis on good government before political gain.

French public intellectuals have a reputation—well-deserved—for being socialists, Marxists, or Trotskyists. One thinks in this regard of popular figures like Jean-Paul Sartre, Pierre Bourdieu, Jacques Derrida, and Simone de Beauvoir, all with fan clubs on American campuses. Some French thinkers, however, have carried forward another intellectual tradition, that of classical liberalism—pro-democracy and pro-market—and running from […]

The Gloria and Credo, on the other hand, are essentially classical allegros, with contrasts of tempo and style dictated by the text. For the most part Bruckner is revelling in the athletic energy familiar from his great predecessors Haydn and Beethoven, but with textures simpler and more spare and rhythms blunter and more naïve. Both movements are in C major and contain central contrasts, the Gloria having a quiet section on 'qui tollis peccata mundi' with typical horn phrases, and the Credo a simple but profound treatment of 'et incarnatus est' and 'Crucifixus', a stream of perfectly formed, dignified melody of great beauty. The Gloria ends with a short but trenchant chromatic fugato on 'Amen', and the Credo (whose main theme anticipates strikingly the sturdy power of the scherzo of the eighth symphony of more than twenty years later) reaches its apex in a broad and mighty cadence.
It is in the Sanctus that Palestrina's influence (in the form of a quotation from the Missa brevis of 1570) is clearest. A two-part canon is enveloped in eight-part counterpoint as a great crescendo is built. The whole movement lasts only a few minutes but has a power of suggestion out of all proportion to its dimensions; such a slow crescendo as this begins some of Bruckner's greatest symphonic movements, and the tribute to Palestrina is also a glance to the future, not only Bruckner's own, but also to such things as the magnificent opening pages of Sibelius's seventh symphony.
The gentle and subtle Benedictus is in full sonata form, its development deeply modulated and its coda a bright burst on 'Hosanna in excelsis'. The final Agnus Dei delivers the customary threefold prayer, each time as a crescendo, the last quietened to make way for the hushed 'dona nobis pacem', perhaps the most beautiful music in the whole work, which is without doubt the deepest and most concentrated of Bruckner's Masses.

When you live in a high-rise, space can be tight. To give themselves more elbow room, the owners of this 17th-story residence bought three apartments and had the walls removed to create a 10,000-square-foot living space.
During the renovation, the homeowners decided it would be worthwhile to put in some electronic systems—not just a basic security system and entertainment setup—but a sophisticated design that would automate everything from the window blinds and lights to the door locks and even the toe heaters in the bathroom.
"One of the only things we have in life that's finite is time," says Jason Perez of Conundrum Technologies, a home systems design and installation firm in Denver, Colo. "The least amount of time you can spend making sure the doors are locked, the lights are off and the blinds are closed, the better." Sold on that philosophy, the homeowners went ahead with a two-year project aimed at making their home as efficient to manage as possible.
An AMX control system was chosen as the brains of the operation. Meticulously programmed by the engineers at Conundrum Technologies, it would allow the family to operate more than 50 motorized window shades, direct music and video from a central rack of audio and video equipment to 30 listening zones and 13 flat-panel TVs, adjust 19 thermostats, lock and unlock 10 magnetic door locks and view images from three exterior video cameras—all from an AMX touchpanel or handheld remote.
Conundrum fitted the house with more than 30 of these home management stations to ensure that control was never more than a few steps away.
From any of the touchpanels the family can control each system independently or they can command several systems at once by engaging one of the nearly 100 scenes programmed into the AMX system by Conundrum. Many of the scenes focus on the lights, window shades and thermostats as a way to curb energy use.Facebook and Twitter.

As the ROM prepares to celebrate its Centennial beginning this March, I have been reflecting on the year that's just passed and all the inspiring activity that's taken place at the Museum.
You may not have been dreaming! The phenomenon is called cryoseism.
The continuation of the story of how the British archeologist, Sir Arthur Evans, made his own particular interpretation of the ancient Minoan civilization so popular.
I pick up the story of the Ivory 'Minoan' Goddess to discuss why the ROM, or indeed anyone, believed that the figurine was genuine (or why she was created, if she is fake).
Looking back on our year via Facebook at the museum.
Thank you to all our readers and happy holidays!

Barotrauma is the pain or discomfort that you feel when there is a difference in air pressure between the outside environment and the inside of your body. You may have this discomfort when you fly in an airplane or go scuba diving.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Pulmonary barotrauma is the injury that is caused when outside pressure is different than the pressure of the air in your lungs.
Barotrauma can even be due to equipment such as a mask or dry suit used for scuba diving. The equipment can block and trap air against the skin. You may become injured if an air pocket happens when you dive. Dry suits can painfully pinch your skin. Masks can cause blood vessels in the eyes to burst.
Contact your doctor if you think you may have some type of barotrauma.
Barotrauma is caused when the air pressure inside and outside the body are different. This results in discomfort. Causes include:
Risk factors that increase your chance of developing barotrauma include:
You need to seek treatment immediately if you have symptoms of an air embolism due to pulmonary barotrauma. Symptoms of an air embolism to the brain are usually identified very quickly after you surface from the water.
Symptoms of decompression sickness usually occur within an hour of surfacing from the water. They can also occur up to six hours later. It is very important to seek treatment immediately if you have decompression sickness.
If you have any of these other symptoms do not assume it is due to barotrauma. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions.
Symptoms include:
Symptoms may include:
Decompression symptoms may include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. If you have been flying or have been diving recently it is important to tell your physician.
Get medical help right away if you think that you have pulmonary barotrauma or decompression sickness.
Your doctor will look into your ear with a special flashlight called an otoscope. The otoscope allows your doctor to see your eardrum. Your doctor may see a bulge of the eardrum if you have barotrauma. This bulge occurs from the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of your eardrum. There may even be blood behind the eardrum.
There are no tests to diagnose sinus barotrauma. Diagnosis depends on your doctor getting an accurate history and then conducting a physical exam.
Your doctor may order tests to check for air embolisms and possible lung collapse.
Your doctor may choose to treat you immediately if you have been diving recently and show symptoms of decompression sickness.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. The following measures can also prevent barotrauma. Treatment options include the following:
To relieve the pressure in your eustachian tube, you can:
It is important to relieve nasal congestion and open your eustachian tube. Your doctor may recommend that you take some medications, including:
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to prevent an ear infection if the barotrauma is severe.
Surgery may be necessary to relieve the pressure if your eustachian tube does not open with other treatments. Your doctor will make a small cut in your eardrum to equalize the air pressure. Any fluid blocking the tube may also be removed.
Oxygen should be given immediately if you have pulmonary barotrauma. The oxygen can be given through a mask over the face or by a tube near your nose.
If you have decompression sickness, you need to be in a high-pressure environment. This allows the air bubbles that have formed to shrink and break up in your blood. Some medical centers have
hyperbaric chambers
(also known as high-pressure or recompression chambers). These chambers provide a high-pressure environment.
The Divers Alert Network
offers information on these chambers.
Take the following steps to help reduce your chances of getting barotrauma:

Smart Grid in America and Europe (Part II)
Past accomplishments and future plans.
that 8 million smart meters had already been deployed. 13
Today, based on the numbers, the United States is lagging behind the E.U. in smart meter installation. Where Italy is close to 100 percent deployment, there are no U.S. states close to this level of penetration. In 2010, Italy alone had at least double, or perhaps even three times, the number of smart meter installations compared to the entire U.S. 14 In five years it is predicted that the U.S. will install 50 million meters in addition to the 6.7 million existing meters, bringing the total to close to 60 million. In the E.U. however, there will be 111 million households with smart meters. 15 Despite the numerical differences, common problems have emerged in the E.U. and the United States.
Smart meter deployment has not been smooth and consumers complain they have not experienced the often heralded electric bill savings, but instead have received higher bills. In Texas, one consumer complained that her bill doubled to $745, which was more than her rent. 16 Installed smart meters might not be used for demand response by consumers if new rate structures are not offered to reflect the differences in electricity prices at different times. 17 Automated energy saving appliances might not be connected to the meter, and information evaluation software might not be installed along with the meter. Changing consumers' behavior requires more than just the meter. It requires price signals, information, and communication platforms that easily allow consumers to control their energy consumption. In order for consumers to respond to price signals, new price structures are necessary. For example, time-of-use-pricing, also known as dynamic pricing, charges less at non-peak times of the day. There is no evaluation yet of the extent of services offered by the meters already installed. In Europe there has been a disappointing amount of interest in energy saving technology on the consumer end. 18
Another issue is who will pay for the new meters. Meters systems can cost from €95 to €340 in the E.U., or $200 to $400 per meter in the U.S. 19 Only 80 to 85 percent of American consumers are willing to pay up to $100 for a meter, and that is if they are guaranteed to save between 10 and 30 percent in electricity bills every month. 20 The E.U. Directive requiring 80 percent of homes to have smart meters by 2020 does not identify funding mechanisms. Because cost recovery is an important driver to implementation, in Eastern European countries the lack of funding prevents smart meter deployment. Different approaches have been taken. Some costs have been covered entirely by consumers, as in Germany. In the U.S., federal stimulus grants have been used to implement smart meters, but consumers are often expected to cover the costs partially. In Maryland, Baltimore Gas & Electric initially proposed a $835 million smart grid rollout, to be recovered over 15 years, of which only $200 million was covered by federal grants. 21 Similarly in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission preapproved OG&E's smart grid system plan,

The easiest race to be effective with out of the gate is the Lyrans. Go fast. Shoot disruptors. Ram ships. Rinse. Repeat.
Ships to fly to learn the game with?
Klingons D7: teaches you to use every system to the max
Romulan K7R or FHK: teaches patience and maneuver.
Kzinti BC: teaches you to use drones effectively and to know when to get in close.
Fed CC: teaches you how to use control of the center of the map.

I usually pick Klingons as the primary starter empire for the following reasons:
1. They use single-turn arming weapons (distruptor, phaser, drone); some new players struggle with the mechanics and tactics of multi-turn arming weapons. Disruptors, phasers and drones have the simplest rules IMHO.
2. They have very good firing arcs on their phasers; so if the new person messes up their maneuvers they will still have a good set of phasers to fire in any direction.
3. They have great turn modes; so if the new person messes up their maneuvers the better turn mode helps them recover more quickly.
4. They can dabble in seeking weapons (~2 drone racks on a cruiser) without it having a major effect on their tactics. The new person can focus their thoughts on their phaser and disruptor tactics and launch drones as a nice extra.
5. The Klingons are known to almost everyone so new people can make an easy cognitive/visual connection with the ship they are flying.
6. They do have the DISADVANTAGE of being less robust to damage, but this is more than outweighed by the advantages given above.
For a starter duel I have had good luck with giving the new person Klingon while I take Kzinti. This allows the new person to have a fighting chance of winning without having to master the sabre dance which is essential against most other races, such as the Federation. New players can make the mistake of moving to close or point blank range which can be suicide when fighting Feds, Hydrans or plasma empires. Kzinti also do better at point blank range than Klingons but not nearly to the same extent as the other empires mentioned.
Other than Klingons the easiest starter races, in my opinion, are any of the "distruptor empires" such as Kzinti, Lyran or WYN fish ships (with P-1s in the option mounts).

If you have them, I recommend the WYN "fish" ships. They have most of the advantages Marcus lists for the Klingons, but they are robust in combat. They are very forgiving ship designs.

Computerarif, welcome aboard. Always nice to have new people. And as has been pointed out one of the easiest empire to start with is proably the WYN with thier fish ships, with Phaser in the options mounts. Once they have the hang of those swap the option mounts for drones for a different feel of the same ships.
Now a little back ground information. WYN fish ships are the ones named for fish like the Barracudas or the Orccas (stupid Droid auto correct will edit this later tonight)
The other little thing so you understand SVCs joke is when Jean took over proofreading with ADB. She brought a small measure of PCism with her. We no longer use the "R" word. All political entities are referred to as Empires. Even if said Empire is only one species.

The Orions of course!
They have excellent turning modes, also lots of optional weapon mounts.
This means, you can have a phaser boat, drone boat, disrupter boat or ADD boat or a combination of the four!
Above average dam com and batterys
Engine doubling can make games quite amusing!
Also you can gradually introduce new weapons.
Hope that helps!

Sorry I haves to disagree with Capt Jack here. The Orion's are a horrible Empire to teach new people the game with.
Yes they have the Turn Mode, Optional Weapons, Damage Control, and Battery he points out, but, you also have the funky rules with engine doubling and option mount restrictions to deal with. Add to that they lack padding so once you breach a shield they go pop real fast and become very unforgiving to play.
Based on that I really recommend letting the pirates sit out a few games while people get comfortable with the rules.

SVC guilty of "old-man humor?"
Wait, I laughed at that so...what does that say about me?
I'm not sure there is a particular "starter race". Most folks I know pick what they like (or think they like) and learn from there.
FC/SFB definately fall into the "learn-by-dying" category of games and eventually "that which does not kill me makes me stronger".
I'll never forget the look on my veteran Feddie friend's face nearly 20-years ago when the lowly Klingon newb (me) out-thought, out-manuevered, and out-fought him till he, his crew and his ship transitioned into an expanding cloud of light, gas and debris.

I have to ammend my recommendation after thinking about mjwest's comment. WYN "fish" ships are able to take damage better than Klingons. So to me it would be a toss up between Klingons and WYN fish ships. The WYN 'fish' heavy cruiser is a really nice ship.

It all depends on how you go about teaching new players. Do you try and teach them every thing whilst playing a standard duel, or basically fly a 'target' for them to blast apart and ignore a couple of rules to start with (e.g. maybe leave out HET and EM until they get used to basic movement). Or are there going to be several new players against each other and you just refereeing. Do you have some sort of 'campaign' for learners where you take new players through a thought out set of games, getting harder and introducing more stuff as you progress.
Assuming that you are going to give a new player a big advantage to start with - give him a heavy cruiser and you a frigate, then robustness is less of an issue to start with. Indeed lack of robustness will help teach someone that it is not always to good to just exchange big volleys.
Remember, a new player will get used to rules that he is not using if you are using them. Rather than expecting somone to get used to using drones straight away then use them yourself, he'll see the rules in action.
I actually think Orions are not a bad race to learn with. You don't have to worry about option choices for the first game - just give him an all phaser ship, or an all disrupter ship. Ignore engine doubling for game 1. The stealth is something you apply, so he doesn't have to remember it. You can then add in other weapon sytems without him having to get used to totally different ships at the same time. From a rule perspective once you are used to the basics then the rest of the game is just different weapons.
Adventures of the Orion boat 'Lollipop'. Its ongoing mission to explore new empires and learn new rules.
Game 1:
Orion CA - all phasers VS a few freighters.
Learn to move, shoot and do damage, watch freighters go pop before they the get away. You might even learn shield rotation if they dent your shields with their fire!
Game 2:
Orion CA - all phasers VS a few freighters and a Klingon E4.
Learn to fight something that is actually shooting back, watch disrupters and drones in action. Try and take out the freighters before they get away.
Game 3:
Orion CA - with the 2 drones and 4 disrupters VS Fed frigate and freighters.
Use the disrupters and drones you faced last time, introduce engine doubling for those overloads. Watch photons in action, don't get too close! see ADDs in action against your drones.
Game 4:
Orion CA - allow him choose drones, phasers, disrupters, photons as options. He also controls a freighter he just captured. VS Kzinti CL. He has to get his freighter and ship off the map.
He gets to fight something more serious, but still has a big edge. Can choose weapons of his choice from what he has so far seen. Learns controlling 2 ships, and how to fight with a vulnerable ship to defend. Has to deal with mass drones. He should know how freighters fare - he ought to have killed enough by now.
Game 5 (if the new player thinks it still useful to play more such games):
The Lollipop with any options from weapon already used. Vs Lyran Panther and Commerce platform. The Lollipop has to transport 6 cargo across to himself (6 transport ops) within X turns to win.
Meet the ESG and base rotation. Whilst you may have used H&R, you now have to spend a couple of turns dropping shields and keeping face against a rotating base. Be careful of blowing up the base (it goes pop easily). Don't lose those transporters or cargo boxes of your own.
Game 6:
The Lollipop (with ESG in center mounts and any option in wings) and the orion LR 'Candy Thief' (any options). VS a hydran lancer with 4 stingers and 5 Def Sats around a large planet. You must take out the Def Sats ready for a future raid. The Def Sats can be shot at straight away - you already know about them.
Explore hydran space: stingers, fusions, hellbores and gatlings. As well as Def Sats. Use the terrain to avoid some Def sat fire as you pick them off. Learn to use the ESG - it might help vs Hellbores.
Game 7:
The lollipop (Gatling and hellbore in center, fusions in wings) and the LR 'Candy thief' (any options) are ambushed around a planet by a King eagle and a War eagle. Straight up fight.
Meet cloaks and plasma. You are actually slightly outpointed. As the romulan target try and use the cloak even if it may not be the most optimal choice, so the newer player can see how much they affect shooting at them, especially against short range weapons like gatlings and fusions.
Game 8:
The lollipop, (Pl-S upfront and Fs in wings) in an asteroid field. Must transport over 5 cargo from the remains of a freighter in the middle within 6 turns before it disintegrates. A large dragon lives here.
Face a monster and plasma again, and more terrain. Use asteroids to help against the his plasma, but don't go too fast into them. Learn carronades on the Fs.

Just for the record, I simply enforce what SVC says he wants to happen.
He says, "I wish we didn't use the inaccurate 'race' in our writing. It really should be 'species' or 'empire' as that is more accurate." Then I make it happen, all of the time.
He has recovered nicely from his case of Creeping Capitalization Syndrome and you can tell that he's learned the lesson about "race." We actually do have three races of Gorns, by the way.

Movement 1: Allegro
Movement 2: Andante con moto
Movement 3: Scherzo: Allegro moderato
Movement 4 (final version): Finale. Allegro moderato
Movement 4 (first version): Finale. Allegro moderato
The brusque, strongly rhythmic opening bars, with their clear-cut contrasts of forte and piano, suggest Beethoven. But whereas the older composer would surely have exploited the dynamic potential of this opening theme, Schubert relegates it to a subordinate role. Instead he builds the movement largely on a figure first heard on the cello in bars 15 and 16 and, after a shift to a strange and remote B minor, a gently insistent theme based on softly repeated notes. When the orthodox dominant, B flat, eventually arrives, there is a charming allusion to the song Sei mir gegrüsst before a lingering, nostalgic 'second subject' based on the cello figure. As if hypnotized by this theme, Schubert expands it into vast lyric sequences in the development, where ravishing contrasts of colour and harmony and a sense of infinite space take precedence over combative dynamic activity à la Beethoven. The recapitulation, as so often in Schubert, is full and regular in outline. But the coda, slipping immediately from E flat major to E flat minor, throws new harmonic light on the repeated-note theme before the main theme is thundered out ff with a vigorous sequential expansion that briefly suggests Beethoven's methods. Then, in a witty throwaway end, the softly repeated notes have the last word.
The C minor Andante con moto, with its stoical, trudging gait, evokes the atmosphere of the contemporary Winterreise. There has long been a tradition that the plangent main theme quotes a Swedish folksong which Schubert had heard sung by the tenor Isak Albert Berg at the Viennese home of the sisters Anna and Josefina Fröhlich. Recent research has identified the song as Se solen sjunker ('The sun has set'), though Schubert's adaptation—more Hungarian than Nordic in flavour—is so radical as to make the tune entirely his own. The rondo-like structure can be summarized as ABACBA, with the 'B' sections, respectively in E flat and C major, featuring a blithe, yodelling tune (based on a prominent falling two-note figure in the main theme) that grows increasingly strenuous and dramatic. At the heart of the movement, the 'C' section, with its orchestral-style tremolos and huge dynamic surges, is a violent, almost hysterical eruption, typical of Schubert's late slow movements, that drags the tonality as far afield as C sharp and F sharp minor. The reappearance of the 'B' section, in an unclouded C major, brings an almost physical relief. On its last appearance the trudging main theme, now 'un poco più lento', hovers magically between minor and major before the movement closes ppp with the dipping two-note motif.
The third movement is a scherzo in spirit but, as the composer indicated in his letter to Probst, a minuet in tempo. Taking his cue from the canonic minuets of Mozart and Haydn, Schubert here initially writes in strict canon, with the strings imitating the piano at a bar's interval. Later on the imitations become freer, as in the delicious moment where Schubert spirits the music from E flat to E major and transmutes the main theme into a caressing waltz. By contrast the trio, in A flat, suggests a lusty peasant dance; in the second part Schubert insinuates an unmistakable reminiscence of the repeated-note theme from the first movement, which then spawns a dancing violin counterpoint to the rustic tune.
Schubert launches the finale with a relaxed, lolloping theme which suggests the opening of a rondo. Instead, the movement turns out to be a huge and—even with the composer's cuts—sprawling sonata structure. With no tempo change (as Schubert himself insisted) the music moves from 6/8 to 2/2 time for the faintly exotic-sounding second theme, in C minor, where strings and piano in turn seem to imitate a cimbalom—one of the composer's most picturesque touches of scoring. Typically, Schubert dwells on this at leisure, alternating it with more boisterous and brilliant writing. Then, near the beginning of the development, comes a master-stroke: a recall of the 'Swedish' theme from the slow movement, in the distant key of B minor, played on the cello against strumming violin pizzicati and the syncopated piano figuration first heard in the exposition. The composer could not resist introducing this theme one last time in the coda, where it begins in E flat minor and then turns triumphantly to E flat major. With these inspired reminiscences of the trio's most haunting theme Schubert here creates an early example of the cyclic form favoured by many later nineteenth-century composers.
For all the finale's colour and kaleidoscopic changes of key, it is not hard to see why Schubert—prompted, perhaps, by Schuppanzigh and his colleagues—made two cuts, one of 50 bars, the other of 48 bars, in the development. Both the excised sections are dominated by the pervasive 'cimbalom' theme; and while the first is largely a repetition, in different keys, of sequences heard elsewhere, the second uniquely and delightfully combines the cimbalom theme with the melody from the slow movement. For this reason alone it would be a pity to miss the longer original version proscribed by Schubert.

The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
A necessary move for both
Jo Best: For the first time, last quarter saw more smartphones sold than feature phones. Nokia once had the smartphone market it in the palm of its hand, but lost its lead after being outpaced by nimbler rivals. Microsoft never had any lead to speak of, having steadfastly failed to translate dominance of desktops into anything substantial on the smaller screen.
Now, Microsoft and Nokia are a long way behind Apple and the Samsung-Android duopoly, with both their futures tied to Windows Phone, an operating system with six percent market share. While Microsoft buying Nokia might not reinvigorate the OS' fortunes, it's still a necessary move for both.
For Nokia, being acquired by Microsoft would buy it time to build up Lumia shipments, and for Microsoft, it offers a means of keeping Nokia from being wooed to another operating system – the only major handset maker to keep faith with Windows Phone. When Nokia adopted Windows Phone and ditched Symbian, many thought it was laying the groundwork for just such an acquisition. It made sense then, and it makes even more sense now.
Not today, not tomorrow
Ben Woods: Nope, not today, not tomorrow – there's no way it makes sense for Microsoft to buy Nokia.
It already has as much as it could hope for out of the company in its partnership with Nokia around Windows Phone 8, and even though Microsoft makes support payments to Nokia, it's an agreement that is already now seeing the software maker taking a net gain from its deal with the the Finnish handset maker.
What exactly would it gain from buying Nokia? The most valuable part of the company could well be the patents that it holds by the time Microsoft would get close to considering such a deal, but even then it's likely to be a defensive, rather than offensive, move.
While Windows Phone struggled to gain traction when it was first introduced in the marketplace, it is now slowly gathering pace. Putting all its eggs in a Nokia-branded basket would be short-sighted, at best.

Household Surveys and other Assessments
GAZA, Occupied Palestinian Territory– Emergency situations compound the vulnerability of pregnant women, as an assessment of reproductive health services during the recent crisis here revealed.
Surveyed facilities reported a 31 per cent increase in miscarriage cases admitted to maternity ward during the conflict, as well as an increase in obstetric complications. One hospital reported a 50 per cent increase in neonatal death.

Data collection and analysis, particularly population and housing censuses, yield rich dividends but are complex, lengthy and expensive processes requiring considerable human resources and specialized skills, along with large investments in training and technology. Nevertheless, conducting a population and housing census can be an effective vehicle for building and strengthening statistical systems of developing countries through the momentum it generates in mobilizing and building human resources.
In some cases, however, sample surveys, which are much less expensive than a census, can yield rich information targeted for specific purposes. These sample surveys, undertaken by extensively trained interviewers, can provide more detail and conceptual clarity in many situations.
Thematic data and reliable specific indicators are crucial for formulating national and subnational policies and for measuring progress toward achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Data gaps impede efforts to formulate evidence-based policies and programmes and hinder channelling resources to those most in need. Well-designed and well-executed sample surveys can often produce relevant and useful data to fill in gaps, corroborate other findings and clarify trends and differentials.
Two key sources of information relevant to UNFPA's work are the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and household and living conditions surveys, which are also primary data sources for poverty analyses. The scope of general household and living conditions surveys may also be expanded to cover demographic or reproductive health information by age, sex and marital status, and some basic information on health expenditures.
These data provide information on the relationship between reproductive health services delivery and poverty reduction strategies, and thus enhance the ability of agencies working in the area of reproductive health to advocate in specific terms. For instance, if the right questions were asked, a basic issue such as the correlation between school enrolment and adolescent pregnancy could be more systematically investigated. In many countries, UNFPA provides part of the budget for the DHS surveys and, to a lesser extent, for other household surveys carried out by national statistical agencies. In the latter case, this often may take the form of sponsoring specific modules in these surveys.
Rapid assessments in emergency situations
PORT-AU-PRINCE — Older people and female heads of household are the two most vulnerable groups affected by the 12 January earthquake in Haiti.
That finding was among the preliminary results of a rapid needs assessment carried out by the IASC (Inter-agency Steering Committee), coordinated by OCHA (the Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) together with the Haitian government.
Read more
In emergency situations, when time or costs constrain conventional data collection methods, UNFPA often supports rapid assessments that allow the Fund and its partners to evaluate needs and prioritize responses. Other sources of data, in addition to the population and housing census and household surveys, include vital statistics, but these may be nonexistent or incomplete in some developing countries.
Developed countries also have a wealth of computerized data banks and registry systems that can be used to model demographic and economic trends. But many of the least developed countries lack baseline data and have weak record-keeping systems. That's one reason why there is an international push for all countries to conduct a population and housing census at least every 10 years. Although the census is not a substitute for civil registration and vital statistics systems, it can help provide baseline information.
Despite great improvement in data collection and analysis capacities, some of the socio-economic indicators provided by many countries are not always reliable and updated regularly, or difficult to obtain. These are important obstacles for planners.

Best option out there for chicks
By Ozzie
from Australia
This product is awesome in that it has the pocket for the female groin protection. Of all the protective gear out there for chicks, this would have to be the best available. The first that allows full movement and comfort. The only negative comments is that the butt area is still a bit small, and I am no JLO. I would suggest to err on the side of caution and go the next size up

Plumbers Shorts
By TanyaBJJ
from Fort McMurray
I use these shorts for BJJ. They sit too low on the hips; as a matter of fact they sit below my tailbone, ouch. I would not reccommend these shorts for that reason alone. They quality of the material is excellent and I must admit, I still use these shorts under a higher rise running pant. I just can't let the purchase go to waist.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Gerd Gigerenzer is not a mathematician or statistician per se, but primarily a psychologist, working across disciplines to understand how human beings make decisions in the face of uncertainty. What he offers here is nothing less than a prescription for how to think, how to choose, and how to live, when the information on which we base our decisions is necessarily incomplete and flawed. For example - how worried should you be if you have a positive mammogram as part of a screening programme for breast cancer, or a positive HIV test despite the fact that you are in a low-risk group?
During September and October, the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences showed a small exhibition of two suites of photo-etchings with mathematical components by the Canadian artist Catherine M Stewart, who studied both maths and physics in the course of her undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto. Elements of Grace is a collection of 12 photo-etchings which combine diagrams from Newton's Principia Mathematica (1729) with photodetails of the human body.
Euclid defined what later became known as the Golden Ratio thus: A straight line is said to have been cut in extreme and mean ratio when, as the whole line is to the greater segment, so is the greater to the lesser.
Anyone who thought geometry was boring or dry should prepare to be amazed. Despite its worthy cover this book is exactly what its title says - a story - and the plot of this story involves life, death and revolutions of understanding and belief, and stars the some of the most famous names in history.
Despite its title, Carl Djerassi's latest play, Calculus, is more like a lesson in history or even psychology than one in mathematics. This is because Djerassi's intention was to explore the moral calculus that was involved in the discovery of the mathematical technique, rather than the technique itself.
First the executive summary: read these excellent books, and make sure all your friends and relations and bright pupils (if you are a teacher) or teachers (if a bright pupil) do so too. Mathematical Vistas (MV) is the sequel to the same authors' earlier Mathematical Reflections (MR). Each book is a series of explorations of mathematical topics, informed by a definite idea of what mathematics is, and how it should be taught.

Neal Augenstein,
WASHINGTON - "Old-school" music listeners have something to new to cheer about.
Amazon customers who purchase vinyl records will receive free MP3 copies of the music. The online giant will even honor vinyl purchases that date back to 1998.
The new service is an extension of Amazon's AutoRip program, which began in January. The program gives free digital copies of music to customers who purchase CDs.
"Many of our music customers are vinyl fans and it's traditionally been very difficult to make digital versions of vinyl records. Now customers can enjoy the albums they buy wherever they are, not just when they have access to a record player," says Steve Boom, vice president of Digital Music for Amazon.
When customers buy a hard copy of music from AutoRip, which contains more than 23 million songs, a digital copy is automatically added to their Cloud Player libraries, where it will be available for immediate playback or download, says an Amazon press release.
Since so many people have retired their turntables, the new digital copies spare customers from searching for friends with turntables in order to convert the analog music to digital.
The 256 Kbps cloud-based copy can be played from any Kindle Fire, Android phone, Android tablet, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Samsung TV, Roku and Sonos. The digital copy can also be played from any Web browser and from Ford SYNC App Link-equipped vehicles.
