Analyzing The Crucible By Arthur Miller English Literature Essay
We can see a modern parallel in 'the crucible' where the essence of evil and its sources are unveiled. The Crucible is an historical allegory for the McCarthy period; it can be examined more fruitfully as a play about the human condition. McCarthyism, as Miller himself said, is the backdrop for the play, but is not its theme.
At the time that "The Crucible" was published, Senator Joseph McCarthy was heading a Congressional Committee which was trying to expose Communists and other un-American activities in the United States. Because the McCarthy investigations were also called "witch hunts," a connection was made between "The Crucible" and Senator McCarthy's committee. Miller was called before McCarthy's committee and convicted of failing to cite the names of those who had formerly engaged in radical activities. The verdict was reversed in 1957 in an appeals court. Miller wrote, 'It underlies every word in The Crucible.'
The play is set in 1692, in Salem, a small town in colonial Massachusetts. During this time there was an outbreak of a witchcraft-hysteria where innocent people were accuses and arrested for witchcraft. It resulted in 19 people (plus two dogs) hanging for witchcraft. The society and the judicial system of New England was immensely Puritanical- they had intense believe in God and surprising events easily attributed to black magic and the 'devils doing' which tore their society apart. The play is loosely based around this event and some of its characters like Judge Danforth, Reverend John Hale and Giles Corey.
The genre of the play is mainly dystopia, along with tragedy and allegory. It consists of several themes and theology such as accusations, hysteria and reputation, God, confessions and witchcraft. Throughout the play we can see old grudges and jealousy spilling out and uncover a people's real motives.
In this essay, I will be analysing how Arthur Miller creates dramatic tension in 'The Crucible' in Act Three. I will do this by analysing: his use of language; setting description; character description; character's speech; stage direction; character's facial expressions; dramatic irony and the plays content itself.
Firstly, Miller creates dramatic tension in Act Three through his description of the characters. Example of this is when Judge Hathrone is described as being a 'bitter' and 'remorseless' judge (pg 68). It makes him sound like a sour and ruthless villain in the play. Because he's convinced the girls are telling the truth, he will not change is mind easily. This creates tension because it means it will be even harder to convict Abigail and the girls. Miller uses derogatory adjectives to get across this tension. The description of Hathrone makes me feel tense because he sounds cold and he' not afraid to hang more people of witchcraft.
Secondly, Miller conveys drama through the description of the vestry room. He writes 'the room is solemn, even forbidding'. 'Solemn' describes it being grave and sombre and 'forbidding' makes it ominous and hostile. These words almost depict the room as a person and thus Miller uses personification to make the room sound abysmal. In my opinion, these words portray a scary and intimidating impression of the place. From this description, I can tell the events in this chapter are not going to be pleasant.
Thirdly, in Act three, Miller uses the character's speech to get across drama. After Mary Warren accuses Proctor of witchcraft, Proctor says, 'I say― God is dead!'. At that time, cursing against the Lord was an offence. This would create tension because it would further condemn Procter's innocence. From this, we can see Miller uses biblical terms and blasphemy to get across tension. Because to the judges this statement further increments that Procter is 'with the devil', it makes me feel anxious to see what will happen to him.
Fourthly, drama is created through character's facial expressions. For instance, 'Procter (Breathless and in agony)' describes the pain Procter is undergoing in the court room. 'Danforth (Dumbfounded)' portrays an expression of surprise on Danforth's face. It adds to the drama as the reader can image the characters more vividly. This makes it easier to understand the characters as well. Miller shows the character's expressions by using powerful adjectives and verbs. By conveying the character's facial expressions, to me, the characters seem more flamboyant.
Fifthly, Miller builds tension through his use of stage direction, '(Francis is still standing, horrified)'. The stage directions bring out the emotions, movements and the speech of the characters. This kind of stage direction gives more dramatic feel to the play enabling characters to display their emotions as described. To portray the stage direction, Miller uses a mixture of techniques such as adjectives, 'with indignant slowness', metaphors 'Danforth (it is growing into a nightmare...', similes '(she looks about as though searching for the passion to faint)' and personification, 'fire in her eyes'. To me, the stage directions are helps visualise the play effectively and makes it more realistic, plus their speech is made more potent.
Sixthly, Miller uses dramatic irony to build suspense and drama. There are many cases of this. The main is where the girls accuse the folks in Salem of witchcraft since, while the audience knows that the girls are lying, most of the characters do not. For example, in court, Abigail and the other girls pretend to be attacked by spirits and the people in court fear them to be in danger, 'Draw back your spirits out of them!'. However, the audience knows that they are faking it. This generates tension because we're unable to predict what Abigail will do next to arraign people. This tension is formed through the girls actions, 'Abigail (looking about the air, clasping her arm...', speech, 'I freeze!' and accusations 'Mary Warren (pointing at proctor): You're the Devil's man!'. Miller creates this dramatic irony by keeping the audience and the reader external to the play. This allows the reader to study each character separately and make their own judgements. The dramatic irony makes me feel worried; I don't want people hanged for a crime they did not commit, also feel irritated at the judges for believing in Abigail.
Finally, the content of the play creates tension and anxiety. The theme of hysteria and witchcraft runs throughout the play, which adds to the excitement. When Proctor produces a testament to prove his wife's innocence, Danforth acquires 'how many names are there? ... Ninety-one'. The fact that a further 91 people are now tied to the indictment intensifies the tension and drama of the case. This is predominantly expressed by Miller's use of religious idioms- the entire play is virtually biblical. This makes me curious of how the characters will react and the verdict of the case.
In conclusion, Miller uses a mixture of techniques to build dramatic tension. His use of language profoundly impacts the play as it makes it realistic and helps understand the characters better. Each character is presented unique with its own personality which adds to the drama of the play. He creates suspense by the construction of the plays themes and motifs. The structure of the play was skilful as it gradually built tension and keeps the reader guessing. I believe his techniques were successful as he was able to engage me well during the play. I particularly liked his choice of words and his style of humour. However, certain parts grew me wary as is droned on for too long.

Could fame really be more important to Kris than her family's privacy?
Kris Jenner, husband Bruce Jenner, and their daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner are currently vacationing in Hawaii, where the teenage girls were photographed in their bikinis! But who let the paparazzi know they were staying in Hawaii? All eyes are on Kris!
According to a friend of the Kardashians, Kris is avidly pushing her oldest daughter with Bruce into the limelight! Move over, Kim Kardashian! There's a new Kardashian… err, Jenner in town!
While the bikini photo of Kendall, 16, and Kylie, 14, looks quite innocent, the idea that the paparazzi found the family on vacation in Hawaii seems a bit suspect! Someone must have leaked the information to the aggressive photographers!
With Kendall's recent bikini video, and her being featured more prominently in Keeping Up With the Kardashians, evidence seems to suggest that Kris may be calling paparazzi in order to keep her younger daughter in the press! After all, if there's anyone who knows how to build a star, that would be Kris!
What do YOU think, Hollywoodlifers? Did Kris Jenner call the paparazzi to photograph Kendall and Kylie?

Not a surprize for me. Kris would do anything to get the money and her ten percent. I wouldnt be surprize if these kids pose for playboy or make sex tape. This is Kris Jenner we are talking about she would do anything for fame and money. She even wanted to change her name back to Kardashian. That how much of a money freak and fame whore she is. Even though I said all these I still thinks she did a really good job taking care of her family.

Kris Jenner is a scumbag. she is exploiting her own young daughters for money. Those girls are too young to do and wear half the things they do. Let them act their ages. They will grow up fast enough when they hit 20. Then Kris is going to wonder why they will start acting like sluts.

ST. LOUIS (BaseballSTL) -- The Cardinals enter this off season without many obvious needs. Most of their core players are signed for next season and will be back. The 2013 line-up will likely look very much like the 2012 line-up, with two possible exceptions: second base and shortstop.
John Mozeliak told me today that he doesn't think the Cardinals can afford to start the 2013 season with Pete Kozma as the only option at shortstop. Kozma played well for the Cardinals over the last month of the season, but he struggled offensively through out his minor league career. Mozeliak says it's too risky at this point to assume Kozma can handle shortstop on an everyday basis in the big leagues. The Cardinals expect to learn more about Rafael Furcal's health in early December. If Furcal checks out ok with his arm problems, he'd be the guy for 2013. But for now, shortstop is the Cardinals primary off season concern.
The Cardinals appear to be very serious about moving Matt Carpenter to second base. At 6'3", Carpenter would be a big second baseman. Mozeliak said today that Carpenter might be the most athletic of all the Cardinals infielders, and should be able to handle a move to second base, assuming he can learn to turn the double play. The Cardinals want to get Carpenter's bat in the line-up everyday.
Mozeliak also said today that he wants to find a lefthanded reliever to pair with Marc Rzepcynski. The Cardinals are well stocked with young, fireballing righthanded relievers, but they're thin from the left side. Look for Mozeliak to sign a veteran lefty specialist this off season.

Residents of Birmingham can now recycle a wider range of materials thanks to a new arrangement between the city council and its waste disposal contractor Veolia Environmental Services.
Up until now only plastic bottles, tin cans, glass bottles, paper and card could be collected for recycling at the kerbside, but with immediate effect, households can now add plastic pots, tubs, food trays and aluminum foil to their green recycling boxes or in the body of their recycling wheelie bin.
And although the range of recyclables is expanding, there are still many plastic items that cannot be accepted due to technological limitations and these include all types of black plastic, all types of plastic bags, wrappers, polystyrene, Tetra Paks and films and all other non-packaging plastic items such as toys, washing-up bowls and buckets.
Cllr James McKay, Cabinet Member for a Green, Safe and Smart city, said: "The expansion of the recycling service is great news for Birmingham on many levels.
"We'll be saving money for the Council taxpayer, helping the environment by diverting waste away from landfill and increasing the amount of materials that can be recycled.
"The wheelie bins we will soon be rolling out on a city-wide basis will give households extra capacity for recycling – making it easier than ever before for people to do their bit to make Birmingham as clean and green as possible."
To help the recycling process, residents are asked to simply wash and squash their plastic bottles, tubs, pots, food trays and foil, then add them to their recycling box or wheelie bin along with their cans, tins, and glass bottles.
All plastic collected at the kerbside is taken by Veolia to a recycling facility near Wolverhampton where it is sorted into different grades of plastic. The machine that sorts the plastic works by using a "magic eye" which sorts by colour. The "magic eye" cannot detect black plastic – which is why this cannot be collected.
Mark Heesom, General Manager for Veolia Environmental Services in Birmingham, said: "Across the UK, householders use around 1.5 million tonnes of rigid plastic packaging every year, around half of which is made up of pots, tubs and trays from food packaging. Most of this material ends up in landfill, which is clearly not good for the environment.
"This improvement to the recycling service we can offer in Birmingham will mean the city's plastic waste is transformed, often inside six weeks, into other useful products such as detergent bottles."
To view a list of what can or cannot be recycled, please visit: www.birmingham.gov.uk/recyclingcollection
Households with more recycling than their current containers can fit (wheelie bin or the old box system) can request extra containers by logging on to www.birmingham.gov.uk/refuse
Notes to editors
The plastics that are now accepted within Birmingham's recycling boxes and recycling wheelie bins are:
• Plastic bottles of all types
• Yoghurt pots
• Margarine tubs
• Ice cream tubs
• Plastic trays (e.g.from chocolate and biscuit boxes) that are NOT black in colour
• Trays from meat and fish
• Fruit and vegetable punnets
• All bottle tops, lids and triggers
• Cream and custard pots
• Soup pots
• Instant Noodle pots
• Tubs for dishwasher and laundry tablets
The following items are still NOT accepted:
• Hard plastic items eg toys, washing-up bowls, tupperware lunchboxes etc
• Black plastic
• Plastic film or wrappers
• Plastic bags or black sacks
• Expanded polystyrene
• Food waste / general rubbish

The Religious Studies program at Nazareth College prepares students to work and travel to interesting places around the world, with a broad understanding of religion and culture. Our students are well-prepared for such opportunities as the Fulbright Program, the largest U.S. exchange program, which offers students the chance to enhance and apply their learning in the field.
Read about some of our Fulbright Scholar's below.
Eric Eggleston - Delhi, India
Eric Eggleston '03, who majored in religious studies and sociology and minored in literature and honors, was based in Delhi, India, during his Fulbright venture.
"It was 2003, we'd just invaded Iraq, and here's this very suspicious white boy turning up seeking to learn about Islamic education movements," says the Binghamton, N.Y., native. "Understandably, it took time to build trust with my contacts in that environment."
Eggleston spent nine months in India doing a comparative study of the philosophical and practical implications of secular and religious indoctrinations, inspired by one paragraph of a book that mentioned Indian Muslim philosopher and social activist Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. In that time, he found residents to be "amazingly hospitable" despite suspicions about his political agenda.
Building on that experience, and those at Nazareth that shaped his view of the human condition (studying the Holocaust through the inaugural March of Remembrance and Hope, for instance), Eggleston then spent a year in an intensive Arabic program in Cairo, received a six-month internship at a joint Israeli-Palestinian non-governmental organization in Jerusalem, and earned a master's degree in peace and conflict studies at Notre Dame University. No longer harboring longtime plans to earn his doctorate and stay in academics, he now works with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Center for the Prevention of Genocide, and with the Responsibility to Protect Working Group, jointly organized by the museum, the United States Institute of Peace, and the Brookings Institution. In the future, he hopes to move into conflict management, conflict mitigation, or transition initiatives with a government agency such as the U.S. Department of State or the United States Agency for International Development.
"I see myself working with amazing people in some of the most difficult places to operate in the world," he says. "That definitely wouldn't have come out of my mouth before I went to India."

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores and the National Community Pharmacists Association gave their take on a proposed Drug Enforcement Administration rule to establish a process for the disposal of controlled substances.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ARLINGTON, Va. – The National Association of Chain Drug Stores and the National Community Pharmacists Association gave their take on a proposed Drug Enforcement Administration rule to establish a process for the disposal of controlled substances.
In their comments to the DEA on Wednesday, NACDS and NCPA expressed support for the agency's efforts to devise a safe, secure way for consumers to return unused medications to authorized entities for destruction. Both pharmacy industry groups, however, had some concerns about the DEA rule.
In December, the DEA published a proposed rule to govern the secure disposal of controlled substances by DEA registrants, including pharmacies, and users, including patients and others on their behalf.
NACDS expressed support for mail-back programs so that patients can mail unwanted controlled substances to be disposed of properly. Yet the association cited a burden on community pharmacies in tracking unique identification numbers on mail-back packages.
Also, NACDS stressed the importance of ensuring that the requirements for maintaining collection receptacles in drug stores are easily administered by the pharmacy and are aligned with other laws and regulations concerning pharmaceutical and hazardous waste.
"We hope that we have been able to share with DEA helpful commentary as DEA finalizes the requirements for the disposal and destruction of controlled substances," NACDS stated in its comments to the agency. "In particular, we ask DEA to reconsider the overly burdensome proposed requirements for collection receptacles and to clarify potential pharmacy penalties for unintentional noncompliance with the provisions of the proposed rule."
NCPA pointed to its successful Dispose My Meds program for community pharmacies to enable consumers to safely discard noncontrolled substances. But the association noted that challenges remain for effective disposal programs for controlled substances in drug stores and long-term care facilities.
In particular, NCPA asked the DEA for clarification on the agency's intent that the retail pharmacy registrant category include closed-door long-term care pharmacies. The association, too, said in its remarks to the agency that the rule isn't clear on whether the take-back program for long-term care facilities is voluntary, as it is on the retail pharmacy side.
NCPA also urged the DEA to reconsider its requirements for the collection receptacles and inner liners, in terms of security and placement.
"NCPA and its members fully support efforts to dispose properly of unused, unwanted or expired medications through safe, secure and environmentally responsible voluntary disposal programs, including controlled substances," NCPA stated. "Community pharmacists understand the challenge consumers face in properly disposing of unused or expired medication. Patients want a solution to the problems associated with unused medications."

The Teenage Witch is Back! SABRINA Launches in October
By Shawn Depasquale on June 3, 2014
Archie Comics – flying high on the continued success of their hit horror series Afterlife With Archie - announced this morning that fan-favorite, teenage witch Sabrina (Spellman) will star in her own solo book for the first time since 2009. The new series, an ongoing, is called Sabrina and appears to be a much darker take on the character than previous iterations.
The dark tone is no surprise, really, as Afterlife With Archie writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is also on board to bring a bit more macabre to Sabrina's witchy proclivities. He's joined by artist Robert Hack, who has already turned in some spectacular images for the series, as evidenced in the gallery below:
This one is sure to be a treat for fans already enjoying Afterlife With Archie, but judging by the images provided today, also holds promise for horror fans simply longing for a strong witchcraft-based story. Sabrina's always been the Archie Comics answer to the supernatural, created in 1962 by George Gladir and Dan DeCarlo as a fun one-shot for the anthology series Archie's Madhouse, the character immediately struck a chord with readers whose enthusiasm for the adorable, half-witch shocked even her creators. The character went on to inspire an animated series about her adventures in 1969, a full year before even appearing in her own comic series.
Traditionally Sabrina is depicted as living with her two aunts, Hilda and Zelda, along with her cat Salem (who is actually a witch under a curse as punishment for his evil ways) in Riverdale adjacent Greendale. No indication if the new series will follow this same setup or establish a completely new continuity for itself, or perhaps an amalgamation of the two as we've seen done in Afterlife With Archie. We'll have answers by Halloween, Sabrina #1 is set to launch in October.
Rob Hack is a good friend of mine. I own a few of his pieces. This series is gonna be amazing with him arting all over it.
[…] unveiled their new creator-owned Roche Limit comic, Archie Comics embraces its dark side with a Sabrina series, and Eric managed to dig up an old copy of Wizard to break down how far comic book movies have […]
[…] Sabrina Spellman is actually based on a comic book character from the long-running Archie comics […]

Design Example of my mission
This is a really interesting example loosely connected with my mission, but it's worth to look into what they are doing. At Philippine, because of the import of cheaper Chinese women's shoes, the local businesses were facing some really big competitions. The locals thought of a way to make Manila, Philippine shoes more apparent than Chinese import women's shoes. Their new idea was to focusing on handmade, high quality designs that use local craftsmanship.

Pork spare ribs
Does anyone include these in their dogs diets? We just picked up about 300 lbs from one of our local meat suppliers and since we've never fed them before, I thought I'd check in before we added them in.

Just curious, those of you who had your dog puke up the pork ribs - was it the pork, the ribs being different type of bone, did your dog eat really fast, etc.? Just wondering what might of caused the regurgitation, because I was thinking about including these when they go on sale.
thanks |

It was the fact that the bone was to hard and she couldn't digest it. It came out the other end intact as well.

Any meat item I have given our dogs is cooked and taken off the bone before they get it. My pet rat Tyr gets the whole works bone and all when it comes to spare ribs. So the dog only gets cooked fat & meat. No rib bones.

Capstone talks about green in terms of DOLLARS. A Capstone Home will have a lower price and lower energy costs than any new home which uses propane. You can save when you buy, and you can save $900 per year on energy.
Do numbers tell the whole story? br>
When it comes to energy efficiency, Capstone Homes DOES think that numbers tell the whole story, but we don't think all builders are advertising the numbers that truly matter. br>
The Capstone Homes' Energy Smart program moves beyond government ratings and "green" building. We focus on value for our owners. It's why Capstone is the intelligent choice. br>
Energy Smart focuses on the lowest possible energy costs for a new home. br>
EnergySmart Homes factor in the COST of energy. EnergySmart is the only builder program that considers the cost of energy. Capstone Homes is the only builder of EnergySmart homes. A Capstone Home is designed to be less expensive for a lifetime.
Some builders may promote their "green" awards and certificates. Capstone Homes is focused on YOUR "green" saved each month in lower energy bills.
What is EnergySmart, and Why Do I want It?
Energy Star, HERS Rating, LEED Certification, Green Homes, Healthy Homes, Super Homes…Who can make sense of it all? At Capstone Homes, we speak a language we think makes sense to people. That language is cost- and we have maximized your new Capstone Homes to have the lowest energy costs of any new home. We think that's smart…
What is Different About Energy Smart?
There is one major difference. An EnergySmart home has been designed to factor in the COST of energy. Most builders think about how to use the least amount of energy. We factor in the cost of energy, and Capstone builds a home to have the lowest energy costs. Sometimes, that might mean Capstone Homes score higher on the HERS than other new homes, but it means our homes cost less to operate.
To get lower HERS numbers, most builders use fossil fuels to heat the home. The long-term trend for price of these fuels is almost certainly UP. Some builders go so far as to show actual ELECTRIC BILLS for homes that have PROPANE heat.
Heat pump? is that the best way to heat a home?
Absolutely. Capstone uses a two-stage Bryant Evolution Heat Pump in most of our communities. This unit works efficiently at temperatures well below freezing, and it is perfect for our climate. A two stage system will typically run at a lower setting 80% of the time.
Better equipment reduces the cost of ownership. A two stage system will typically run at a lower setting 80% of the time. This translates in real savings for years to come.
Advanced Construction Science
Capstone Homes uses advances in construction science that makes for a lower cost of ownership. br>
Our homes are built with 2×6 exterior walls- framed 16" On Center (O.C.). We use a 3-Stud Corner to maximize insulation. Some builders use walls with 24" O.C. walls or 2×4 walls- Capstone chooses a stronger wall and thinks a solid structure is a better value.
Capstone also uses engineered floor joists in our homes, and our exterior sheathing is the advanced ZIP Wall System.
Capstone takes our solid structure and uses Energy Star qualified windows and lifetime architectural shingles. br>
Built Responsibly
What is one of the most effective ways to build an energy-efficient home? Easy! Keep outside air from getting in. Capstone installs a Blown-In-Blanket-System (BIBS) of fiberglass insulation. The BIBS give a Capstone Home an insulation value of R-23 in our walls, which is 77% better than Energy Star requirements.
Capstone Home an insulation value of R-23 in our walls- 77% better than Energy Star requirements.
Capstone also seals the entire home with a draft stop air seal to block air from leaking.
A Capstone Home is built upon a conditioned crawlspace (or basement), which increases the efficiency and comfort of the entire home while reducing the chance for excessive humidity in the foundation.
Is there more?
Yes! Capstone Homes makes sure your HVAC system is Energy Star Qualified, properly sized, and your duct work is sealed tight.
Capstone also uses a manifold plumbing system which reduces water usage throughout the home.
Capstone is the only builder of EnergySmart homes in the area. To learn more about the EnergySmart home, stop into one of our communities or our Coastal Highway office and see for yourself.
The manifold system allows for all of the plumbing supply runs to be done without joints in the walls of your new Capstone Delaware beach home. Capstone treats all of our homes to prevent termite infestation.
The most recent Capstone Homes have exceeded the Energy Star Standard by more than 20%! That's great news for your utility bills, and its good for our planet. These are just some of the superior features in a Capstone Home. To learn more, visit our communities.
Rest assured that a Capstone Home is an intelligent choice for your new Delaware beach home.

The Body Shop's Anita Roddick gives away her Millions
By Christopher Hope in London December 13, 2005 "Money does not mean anything to me" � the Body Shop's Dame Anita Roddick. DAME Anita Roddick, the founder of the Body Shop and one of Britain's best-known businesswomen, has decided to turn her back on the world of commerce and give away her ?51 million ($120 million) fortune. Dame Anita and her husband, Gordon, founded the 300-strong chain of shops in 1976. Now the pair are its biggest shareholders, holding 18 per cent of the shares, worth ?100 million. However, she said she wanted to cash in her 20 million shares and give the proceeds away. She said: "I am going to start giving it away. I hope that before I die there will be a financial foundation. All my wealth is in the shares. My intention is to give my money away. "I don't want to die rich. Money does not mean anything to me. The worst thing is greed - the accumulation of money. I don't know why people who are extraordinarily wealthy are not more generous." Her sell-off has already begun. In February the Roddicks sold 4 million Body Shop shares, raising ?7.4 million. A large slug went to charity, ?1 million to help Amnesty International pay for the completion of its ?12 million human rights action centre in London, and a further ?500,000 to back some of Greenpeace's charitable works. Since she stood down from a full-time role in 2002, the retail chain's fortunes have blossomed. The company was better off without her in a hands-on role, she admitted. "I'm getting more radical. If I was running the Body Shop I would have been a problem because of our stance against the Iraqi war. It would have caused mayhem in the States." The new management team "is much better because they have terrific relations with the City", she said. The new products are "a million times better", noting that "20 of the best-selling products are the old ones". One of Dame Anita's regrets is floating the Body Shop on the London stockmarket. "The mistake was going public. You are always beholden to one point of view - the financial bottom line." After losing $800,000 investing in two ventures in North America - a hemp farm and a free newspaper business - she has decided to turn her back on business for good. "Business does not interest me any more," she said. "I was a one-song person. What saved me was that I never went to business school and I don't know who Milton Friedman is. I was a teacher and researcher, and I knew how to tell a story." Dame Anita is now a Body Shop consultant for 80 days a year. Another big regret, she said, was not getting rivals to trade directly with the developing world. "Where I failed miserably was not persuading other companies like Avon and Procter & Gamble to do it. Some 15,000 families in places like Peru and Brazil are supported by the Body Shop." However, she added: "We are not allowed into mainland China. They have banned us. They said that you have to test your products on animals." A Body Shop spokesman added: "We are currently in discussion with the Chinese authorities to ascertain whether we can register our products either on the basis of our sound record of consumer safety around the world or through alternative non-animal tests." Telegraph, London http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/bod...236004049.html I think that this is great... She obviously knows that there is more to life than being rich, and she is giving her money to worthwhile causes... |

Listen to the Story
Indian officials are reporting far fewer casualties than had been feared when the large and powerful cyclone Phailin struck the country's east coast Saturday. But the storm, which forced the evacuation of nearly 1 million people, has left flooding and destruction in its path.

People try to remove an electric pole that fell down in Arjipalli village. Mass evacuations spared India the widespread deaths many had feared from a powerful cyclone that roared ashore over the weekend. Biswaranjan Rout
Indian officials are reporting far fewer casualties than had been feared when the large and powerful cyclone Phailin struck the country's east coast Saturday. But the storm, which forced the evacuation of nearly 1 million people, has left flooding and destruction in its path.
One day after the storm struck the states of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh with winds of at least 125 mph, crews are working to clear fallen trees off roads and to open railway lines. And officials were voicing relief that the cyclone didn't approach the devastation brought by a 1999 "supercyclone" that killed some 10,000 people in the same area.
Phailin has been blamed for 17 deaths, many caused by falling tree branches and collapsed houses. On Sunday, National Disaster Management Authority Marri Shashidhar Reddy said the mass evacuation had been effective. And he criticized international groups that had warned of more damage and stronger winds.
"After the exaggerated manner international agencies tried to portray it [the cyclone and disaster], the NDMA has done an excellent job," he said, according to Agence France-Presse.
The fact that this year's storm didn't exact such a staggering human toll as in 1999 is due to advances in India, according to Victor Mallet, the South Asia bureau chief for The Financial Times.
"Many more people have mobile phones. In the old days, it was just very hard to make contact with remote areas by landline, and now almost everybody has a mobile phone," Mallet tells NPR's Rachel Martin on today's Weekend Edition.
"So, I think that the better infrastructure plus the predictions that the storm was coming and the preparations that were made meant that the human damage, at least, was not as severe as it was back then," he says.
While India's chief weather agency has a website, it also used Facebook to send alerts about the cyclone. Visitors to the agency's site on Saturday found that its servers seemed to be overwhelmed — but the alerts were appearing on Facebook, making social media efforts even more vital.
The storm has left cars and trucks, trees and utility poles strewn across streets. Thousands of people who were displaced by the cyclone remain in temporary housing. The storm also destroyed hundreds of thousands of hectares of crops, officials say.
In Orissa, the state's Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik says that recovering from the strike will be a "big challenge," reports NDTV.

From February 27 to March 6, 2012, 24 experts from 12 countries participated in an international workshop on nuclear forensics hosted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, Washington. The workshop was sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and National Nuclear Security Administration's Office of Nonproliferation and International Security (NIS).
The workshop provided technical information and a hands-on learning environment for practitioners regarding the measurement of nuclear and other radioactive samples for forensics analysis, consistent with the guidelines in IAEA Nuclear Security Series No. 2 "Nuclear Forensics Support." The event attracted broad international interest; experts attended from Argentina, Brazil, China, Georgia, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, and Uzbekistan. Participants benefited from hands-on exercises as well as presentations by several U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratories, NIS, the IAEA, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization, the European Union's Institute for Transuranium Elements, the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment, and others.
Nuclear forensics is the popular term for the scientific characterization and analysis of nuclear or other radiological materials, which can provide critical information on the place of origin and process history of nuclear materials. Just as law enforcement officials analyze human fingerprints after a crime to determine "who did it," the science of nuclear forensics allows experts to develop a highly accurate "nuclear fingerprint" to trace the origin of nuclear material—a valuable tool for combatting nuclear smuggling and ensuring that nuclear material is used only for peaceful purposes. Nuclear forensics investigations gather "evidence" by determining the material's age, isotopic and mass ratios, impurity content, physical parameters, and other characteristics. When illicit nuclear trafficking occurs, experts can use nuclear forensics to pinpoint where the material came from—and then work with responsible officials to ensure the event is not repeated.
International cooperation in nuclear forensics is one of many ways in which NIS is working to implement U.S. commitments made at the Nuclear Security Summit convened by President Obama in April 2010. Progress on nuclear forensics and other efforts to secure nuclear materials will be reviewed at the highest levels at the next Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, South Korea, on March 26–27, 2012.
High-gain nuclear fusion could be achieved in a preheated cylindrical container immersed in strong magnetic fields, according to a series of computer simulations performed at Sandia National Laboratories.
The simulations show the release of output energy that was, remarkably, many times greater than the energy fed into the container's liner. The method appears to be 50 times more efficient than using X-rays to drive implosions of targeted materials to create fusion conditions.
Such fusion eventually could produce reliable electricity from seawater, the most plentiful material on earth, rather than from the raw materials used by other methods: uranium, coal, oil, natural gas, sun or wind. In the simulations, the output calculated was 100 times that of a 60 million amperes (MA) input current. The output rose steeply as the current increased: 1,000 times input was achieved from an incoming pulse of 70 MA.

Last night, the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC broke the news of NNSA's latest achievement – removing all remaining weapons-usable material from Mexico. Through a trilateral agreement, the US, Mexico and Canada worked to convert Mexican research reactors to use low enriched uranium, removed all remaining spent and fresh HEU and provided Mexico with LEU to continue reactor operations. This achievement is a key deliverable from the 2010 Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, D.C. and a crucial step in achieving the President's nuclear security agenda to "secure vulnerable nuclear material world wide" within four years.
NNSA Administrator Thomas D'Agostino appeared live last night to break the news with Rachel Maddow. Full video below. Video extras and behind-the-scenes footage can be found on Rachel Maddow's blog.
A juvenile bobcat, born last year, sits outside a building at the Pantex Plant last week. Three breeding females make their home at Pantex, ranging across the site's 18,000 acres and beyond. The smallest bobcat range encompasses an area of 15 square miles.
Pantex maintains an active Wildlife biology program, tracking and conserving various animal species on the plant site. As part of this program, and in collaboration with West Texas A&M University, Pantex tracks the bobcats using radio collars and ear tags. A female bobcat will give birth to a litter of three or four kittens every year, using cover provided on the plant to protect the kittens from predators, according to Jim Ray, plant wildlife biologist.
NNSA Administrator Thomas D'Agostino recently participated in the dedication of operational startup of a new $795 million renewable energy fueled facility at the Savannah River Site, in Aiken, S.C. The administrator joined U.S. Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC) and other senior officials from the Department of Energy and Ameresco, Inc., a leading energy efficiency and renewable energy company, in the dedication.
The 34-acre SRS Biomass Cogeneration Facility is the culmination of 30-months and more than 600,000 hours of labor. The project sustained and created an estimated 800 jobs, spanning the mechanical, construction, engineering, and supplier sectors. Fully operational, the plant will support 25 fulltime jobs onsite and support the local logging community.
This project is also the single largest renewable Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) in the nation's history. ESPCs are contracts in which private companies finance, install, and maintain new energy- and water efficient equipment at federal facilities.
The SRS Biomass Cogeneration Facility replaced a deteriorating and inefficient 1950s-era coal powerhouse and oil-fired boilers, and will generate an estimated $944 million in savings in energy, operation and maintenance costs over the duration of the contract.

MCALLEN - Astronaut Mike Fossum is back in the Valley for the first time since his most recent trip to space on the International Space Station.
We've followed his story from space, back to earth and now, finally back to the Valley.
Fossum started his trek around the Valley Saturday and finished up in McAllen on Monday. He made trips to schools, visited with boys scouts and even spoke to local business men and women.
Fossum said he comes back because of friends, but also because he feels everyone should remember the place that shaped them during their youth.
"I can't, I cannot possible pay back the people that inspired me. The teachers that inspired me and pushed me, held me accountable, the scout leaders that held me accountable and pushed me and came looking for me when I wandered off the path and was trying to find trouble. I can't pay them back I can just pay it forward, I hold that responsibility very personally," said Cmdr. Mike Fossum, U.S. Astronaut.
