Product description
Herod the Great, King of Judaea from 444 B.C., is known as one of the world's great villains. This notoriety has overshadowed his actual achievements, particularly his role as a client king of Rome during Augustus's reign as emperor. An essential aspect of Herod's responsibilities as king of Judaea was his role as a builder. Remarkably innovative, he created an astonishing record of architectural achievement, not only in Judaea but also throughout Greece and the Roman east. Duane W. Roller systematically presents and discusses all the building projects known to have been initiated by Herod, and locates this material in a broad historical and cultural context. Bringing together previously inaccessible material, Roller enriches our understanding of the enigmatic Herod and provides new insights into Roman architecture. Herod was instrumental in the diffusion of the Augustan architectural revolution into the provinces and was the first to build outside Italy such Italian architectural forms as the basilica, amphitheater, villa, and Italian temple. Herod's legacy provided a groundwork for the architectural Romanization of the east, influencing the construction of the great temple complexes and palaces so familiar from later Roman architecture. Herod, like Augustus himself, was not only interested in architecture but also in diplomatic and financial contacts among cities of the region. In addition to providing a repertorium of the building projects, this study is also an exploration of international relations in the eastern Mediterranean at the beginning of the Roman imperial period.

Angels running out of options
The Halos have tinkered about all they can with the cards they've been dealt
ANAHEIM -- Of all the Los Angeles Angels' problems this year, the most worrisome isn't their slow-out-of-the-gate starting pitching, their sloppy relief work or their stop-and-start offense.
It's their lack of options.
The Angels have done about all the tinkering they can do. They've had a nip and tuck here or there at the fringes of their bullpen, some shuffling at the edges of their roster. But the theme after Monday night's lifeless 6-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays was how tied their hands are. The subtext, though no one will say it, is how little high-end talent this team has standing by at Triple-A.
Of his bullpen, which seems enamored with missing the strike zone, manager Mike Scioscia said, "Our first course of action is to get these guys where they need to be."
Of his struggling table-setters, Erick Aybar and Howie Kendrick, Scioscia said, "Right now, Erick and Howie will be hitting 1-2 tomorrow."
Not exactly revolutionary pronouncements. What else is Scioscia going to do? The trade market doesn't figure to shape up for at least a month and the best of the Angels' minor league talent is clustered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, probably at least two or three years away from helping the big club. The Angels could get a little boost from Maicer Izturis, probably when he's activated before Tuesday's game, but he hasn't been durable enough to look like an everyday option.
The Angels have been preaching patience for nearly two months now. Just as they start to see it pay off, the team finds a way to trip itself again. A sweep of Oakland to launch the Angels on the road led to two straight losses in Texas. A promising little stay in Chicago culminated in aggravation in St. Louis. It's literally one step forward, two steps back, week after week for this team.
"We're coming around. It's just a little bit hit or miss right now," pitcher Joe Saunders said. "We either pitch well and can't seem to score many runs or don't pitch well and seem to hit the ball well. We just need to turn around."
Faulty relief work has been the constant.
Steady bullpens haven't been a luxury for the Angels in the past; they've been part of the team's foundation. From 2000-2009, the Angels had the best bullpen ERA in the American League and were second only to the Dodgers' in the majors.
In 2010, the Angels have the worst bullpen in the league and it's not even close. The team's relievers have allowed 52 percent of the runners they have inherited to score. They've walked 90 batters. Both of those numbers are the worst in the American League by a large margin.
"This is quite prolonged right now. We're getting past a quarter of the season," Scioscia said. "These guys have not gotten their feet on the ground yet."
For more about the Angels, plus coverage of the complete Los Angeles sports scene, visit ESPNLosAngeles.com. »
It's getting to the point that Angels starters have to have a lead in the seventh inning or the game turns into a blowout. On Monday, Jason Bulger and Bobby Cassevah provided the kerosene as the Blue Jays turned a tight 2-0 game into a 6-0 laugher. Saunders struggled with his command, walking five, but he still gave the team an excellent chance to win when he left in the seventh inning.
Right now, the Angels have some firepower, but no kindling. Many of the big bats in their lineup have been fairly productive of late, or have been shuffled to the bottom of the lineup. But the top of the lineup isn't feeding them opportunities to drive in runs.
Leadoff man Aybar is batting .229 in May with an on-base percentage under .300. Kendrick, the No. 2 hitter, is stuck in a 4-for-36 (.111) slump in his last eight games. Scioscia wants to give Izturis some time to get comfortable before thrusting him into the leadoff role.
"We'll stay with those guys a little longer," Scioscia said. "When Izzy gets back and gets his feet on the ground, we'll look at some other options. If we have to juggle something, we'll do that."

It's tempting for the Angels to look at Izturis as something of a savior, since the diminutive infielder can solve two of their most pressing problems as soon as he returns from the disabled list (probably Tuesday).
Izturis can take over for slumping Brandon Wood at third base and for Aybar in the leadoff spot. The problem with relying too heavily on Izturis, however, is that he has a history of being brittle. He might simply be too fragile to play every day. Izturis has spent time on the disabled list every season but one since 2005. That doesn't even include his many minor league injuries, including a shoulder injury that needed surgery in 1999.
Still, the Angels needs are urgent.
"He will be playing. I'm not sure if it's going to be seven days a week, but it's going to be a lot -- as much as he can and hold up," Scioscia said.
The Angels face Toronto's best pitcher, lefty Ricky Romero, Tuesday night. Romero, an East Los Angeles native who attended Cal State Fullerton, is 4-1 with a 2.71 ERA. The Angels beat Romero on April 18 in Toronto, but he allowed just one run in eight innings.
The man who beat Romero that day was Ervin Santana, who allowed one run in nine innings. Santana (3-3, 3.75) has been on a roll since then. He has a 2.97 ERA in his last five starts.

Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who plays the lusty King Henry VIII in "The Tudors," insists that having sex with about 20 people is "not so much."
While speaking about his "Tudors" character to Showbiz Spy, the Dubliner noted that over course of the Showtime series' run, King Henry has slept with around 22 people.
"Which is not bad, because if I go out in London on a Saturday night and I say to some handsome young dude or some handsome young girl that's standing in the club, 'How many people have you slept with this year?' [They'd say], 'Er, about 50'," Rhys Meyers said.
"So it's not so much."
The handsome Irish actor and model went on to say that the real Henry VIII was more "prudish," but that "Sex happened and sex was very much a matter of state then."
Rhys Meyers also revealed that he thought the idea of him playing the infamous monarch was "ridiculous" at first.
"Then I understood what they wanted," he said. "They wanted to bring a sense of history to a much younger generation."

This application is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/226,780, filed on Sep. 14, 2005, which is U.S. Pat. No. 7,943,547, issued on May 17, 2011.
This invention relates to catalysts, and more particularly, to platinum catalysts for oxidizing ammonia in vapor phase catalytic ammonia removal systems.
Catalytic systems are widely known and used for decomposing or oxidizing undesirable chemical species within a fluid. Catalytic systems are used in space vehicles and in space stations to remove ammonia and other chemicals from waste streams generated during a space mission. Typically, water-based waste streams are collected, distilled, and purified before being reused by a crew. The weight of such catalytic systems and the amount of energy that the catalytic systems use is minimized to reduce relatively high expenses related to space travel.
Conventional catalysts typically include an active metal deposited on a support material. Typically, the type of active metal and type of support material are selected based upon the application that the catalyst will be used in. Disadvantageously, currently available combinations of active metals and support materials for ammonia oxidation require temperatures above approximately 200° C. to oxidize ammonia and often result in the formation of nitrogen oxide (NOx). To minimize NOx formation, the catalyst is undesirably operated in a narrow temperature range above the catalysis activation temperature and below the NOx formation temperature.
Accordingly, there is a need for an ammonia catalyst that operates over a relatively large temperature range and at temperatures below 200° C. to avoid the formation of NOx.
A catalyst according to the present invention includes a platinum coating deposited on a silica support. A combination of the silica support material with a surface area between about 100 m2/g and about 120 m2/g, and between about 5 wt % and about 15 wt % of platinum provides complete selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia at temperatures as low as 150° C. and avoids the formation of NOx, until temperatures exceeding 200° C.
In one example, a reactor containing a catalyst is connected to a vaporizer. The vaporizer vaporizes liquid waste water containing ammonia. The catalyst oxidizes the gaseous ammonia to form nitrogen and water.
The various features and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the currently preferred embodiment. The drawings that accompany the detailed description can be briefly described as follows.
The reactor 16 includes an ammonia catalyst 20 and a hydrocarbon catalyst 22. The ammonia catalyst 20 oxidizes the gaseous ammonia to produce gaseous nitrogen and gaseous water. The hydrocarbon catalyst 22 decomposes the gaseous hydrocarbons. A heater 23 near the ammonia catalyst 20 and hydrocarbon catalyst 22 maintains the ammonia catalyst 20 at a desired temperature.
The catalytic system 10 includes an oxygen source 24 connected to the conduit 14. A controller 26 in communication with the oxygen source 24 and the vaporizer 12 selectively opens or closes a valve 28 to supply gaseous oxygen into the conduit 14 to provide a selected amount of gaseous oxygen. This provides a benefit of achieving a desired ratio of gaseous oxygen to gaseous ammonia within the conduit 14. In one example, the ratio of gaseous oxygen to gaseous ammonia is set according to stoichiometry for oxidation of the gaseous ammonia at the ammonia catalyst 20 to produce gaseous nitrogen and gaseous water instead of NOx.
The catalytically converted species (e.g., nitrogen, water, and decomposed hydrocarbons) travel from the reactor 16 into a condenser 30. The condenser 30 is maintained at a relatively low temperature to condense the gaseous water. Liquid water is collected from the condenser 30 and fed out of a conduit 32 to a downstream use. Chemical species that were not condensed within the condenser 30 are fed through a conduit 34 and are collected in a receptacle 36 or vented to the environment.
A vacuum pump 38 connected downstream from the condenser 30 maintains a relatively low pressure in the catalytic system 10 to move the vapor stream through the reactor 16.
The granule 48 includes an average surface area between about 100 m2/g and about 120 m2/g. In one example, the granule 48 is NorPro® silica provided by Saint-Gobain Ceramics & Plastics, Inc.
A platinum catalytic coating 54 is deposited on the granule 48 within the pores 50 and on the outer surface 55 of the granule 48. In one example, the platinum catalytic coating 54 is applied using a known incipient wetness process. In another example, the platinum catalytic coating 54 is applied using a vapor deposition process. The platinum comprises between about 5 wt % and about 15 wt % of the granule 48. In one example, the amount is approximately 10 wt %.
In an incipient wetness process, a platinum salt, such as platinum chloride, is impregnated into the granule 48. The salt fills the volume within the pores 50. The composite of the granule 48 and the platinum salt solution is then dried in air, for example, to remove at least a portion of a liquid carrier of the platinum salt solution. During the drying, platinum chloride is converted to a platinum oxide on the surfaces of the granule 48. The platinum oxide is then reduced to platinum metal in a known manner using hydrogen gas to form the platinum catalytic coating 54. At this stage, some residual chloride from the platinum salt may remain in the platinum catalytic coating 54. The granule 48 is then washed with water to remove at least a portion of the residual chloride and dried to remove the wash water.
The amount of platinum deposited can be controlled by controlling the concentration of the platinum salt in the solution. As is known, the volume of the pores 50 can be determined empirically. The pore 50 volume in combination with a selected concentration of platinum salt in the solution results in a determinable amount of platinum metal deposited on the surfaces of the granule 48 (including the pore 50 surfaces).
The combination of the selected surface area, homogenous silica granule 48, and selected amount of platinum results in selective oxidation of ammonia at temperatures under 200° C. This provides the benefit of operating the ammonia catalyst 20 within a temperature window of, for example, 150° C. to 200° C. to form nitrogen and water instead of NOx.
Alternatively, as shown in
In another example, the granule 48 includes a silica aerogel for supporting the platinum. The silica aerogel can be used in granule shape or in other shapes such as disks. The silica aerogel includes an average surface area of about 800 m2/g. The relatively high surface area results in a weak support that may crumble easily, however, a silica aerogel may be suitable for application where strength is not a significant concern.
In one example, the silica aerogel includes about 16 wt % platinum deposited on the surfaces using an incipient wetness process as described above. The combination of the silica aerogel and 16 wt % platinum provides the benefit of an ammonia catalytic activation temperature that is about 125° C. and avoids formation of NOx.
Although a preferred embodiment of this invention has been disclosed, a worker of ordinary skill in this art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of this invention. For that reason, the following claims should be studied to determine the true scope and content of this invention.

Appliance World confirmed today that it is permanently closing its three area locations in Brookfield, Greenfield and Germantown.
One of the area's most recognizable retail stores, the appliance retailer locked its doors Sunday and told its employees the company's future and ownership was in doubt, though it had left open the possibility the stores could reopen under new management and ownership.
But in a statement issued through My In-House Agency today to media outlets, owner Ed Aumann set aside any hope.
"The economic conditions of the past several years have been too much to overcome," Aumann said in the news release. "I would like to thank all of our customers and employees for their support and patronage over the past half century."
Aumann said Appliance World, in business in Southeastern Wisconsin for more than 56 years, closed at behest of its secured lender, GE Capital Solutions. Assets have been surrendered to the bank.
However, consumer appliances which have been identified to prepaid customer deposits were specifically excluded from the bank's voluntary surrender agreement. Customers anticipating delivery can make arrangements to pick up or accept delivery of their appliances by sending an email to email@example.com.

From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend.

WATERMARKS WILL NOT APPEAR ON PRINTS. My twin loves of photography and travel emerged early in life. I remember being enchanted by rare trips to an airport to meet an arriving flight, and equally enchanted by a train trip on the California Zephyr from Denver to Salt Lake City. Clearly, I wanted to go places! On these trips I had my trusty Kodak Instamatic camera, with those funky flash cubes! But almost as soon as I could, I was out traveling on my own! Luckily this coincided with an interest in 35 mm photography which I learned on my own and from friends. I can remember taking dozens of rolls of film on every trip...black and white and color in every ISO I thought I'd need! Fast forward to 2008 after multiple academic...

Nearly Complete
With only a small list of things to do, I will be ready for a power up test followed by a hover test with the Eagle Tree eLogger.
Items left:
- Secure tail boom linkage guides
- Tidy up wiring for gyro once it is setup
- Secure landing skids in supports so they stop moving around.

Found your build from the HK450 thread.
Looks nice.
I too found the swash to be junk and am almost relieved I'm not the only person having the asymmetrical pitch problem. Please post how you resolve it. I'm about ready to just forget it and eyeball the setup.

It's a very annoying issue for sure. Good Luck.
-edit: Here's something to try:
Decrease the pitch% in the TX and see if the +/- pitch ranges gets closer.
With help I found that I could lower my % and get +6/-6.
The fix was to use a longer arm on the servos.
Not long enough for me as I was only able to get +8/-7 but that's much better than before.
Hope that helps you.

Had a successful test hop this morning. Not much space to test in (6x6ft area) in garage, but it was very controllable and seemed smooth. I need to put the eLogger on it to check amps and head speed next. Gyro was not working right on my first test outside a few nights ago, but it did not have a chance to stabilize for temp and it was reversed. I flipped the Rev direction on the gyro and it worked correctly. Still need more test hovers to get the gain dialed in.

I'm trying different blades now. Will post my results once I get more tests done.
HK Carbon Fiber Blades 325mm
I was getting a strange wobble that built up from the training gear at certain headspeeds, so I removed them and will test to see if it was resonance from the t-gear or not.
My HXT900 servo is working ok with the HK401b gyro, but I have an MKS 480 digital ready to go in if I encounter any issues with the tail holding.

HK carbon blades are working great and are much smoother than the stock blades. Hovered 8+ mins with no vibs after removing the t-gear.
|Feb 17, 2010, 05:59 PM
Nice build! I read that the wires on the HXT900 servos were too short for a 450 size heli, any problems? What tail servo did you end up using?
Can't wait to see it fly!

This has really been a helpful thread. Im thinking of building up a HK-450 MT. This will be my first cp heli so ive been reading up a lot on the build and what parts to use. Do you by any chance have any experience w this gyro?

Flight Update
I did some mild forward flight (lazy eights) in the cul-de-sac this afternoon. Three packs back to back. I am more and more impressed with this heli as time goes by. I am stunned by how stable it is and it tracks well in turns. It does not have the tendency to roll out of control and when I do over control or shake my hands it is docile and stays in control. This heli is just what I needed to get back into helis without stress over an expensive model to hinder my progress.
I believe there is a relation between price and stress free enjoyment for me!
Several things that I think contribute to this success:
- Low price ;-)
- Careful build, make sure everything is balanced and level swash.
- Flybar weights all the way out.
- 80% dual rate on ELEV and AILE with +20 expo on the Dx7

The last time Stone Sour toured Australia was on the Soundwave 2011 lineup. We caught up with drummer Roy Mayorga before their sideshow at Luna Park in Sydney; check it out below:

I'm putting wheels on my electric setup so I can wheel the stand around to sweep and mop up. If building a stand, I honestly don't know why you wouldn't at least consider putting wheels on a stand. Especially if building one of the steel Brutus clones those m'fers can be heavy. I can see furniture sliders or something like that. But wheels are fairly inexpensive when putting together a stand.
Sent from my iPhone using HB Talk
I roll my brewing equipment all the way from the garage around to the back patio whenever I brew. Before I had a stand to put stuff on, I was making several trips back and forth every brew day.
it's all about the mobility. I move mine to the mouth of the garage and brew with the door open if it is windy, or really sunny (I burn easily), or outside on a cool sunless day. takes 30sec to move it myself because it is on wheels.
Wheels work better than blocks.
I'm just sayin.........

Final of a three-part series profiling the top finalists for the 2010 Walter Payton Award.
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Before the 2010 season, Appalachian State coaches told quarterback DeAndre Presley to manage games and not to worry about winning any for the Mountaineers.
From the first game, Presley did both.
No position was under a microscope more this season than Appalachian State's quarterback. The Mountaineers had to replace Armanti Edwards, the starter on their 2006 and '07 national championship squads, and the first two-time Walter Payton Award winner in 2008 and '09.
"This was something that a lot of people focused on," Presley said, "the whole quarterbacking change, with Armanti leaving and me and/or Jamal (Jackson) or whoever it would have been when we were in the (preseason) camp. I believe the one thing that I've done was disregard everything else and just focus on controlling the things that I can control."
During the season-opening game at Chattanooga, Presley displayed his control of the ASU offense. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound junior rallied the Mountaineers from a 21-point fourth-quarter deficit to a 42-41 win. He completed 22-of-29 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns, rushed for 25 yards and two touchdowns, and scored a TD "reception" that was the oddest play of the game.
With the game tied 35-35, Chattanooga jumped offsides on 3rd-and-1 from the Mocs? 29-yard line, giving Presley and the Mountaineers a free play. Presley threw a quick pass to wide receiver Matt Cline, who was drilled by a defender and fumbled the ball. Presley picked it up and followed blocks into the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown from 33 yards out. Statistically, Cline collected the reception and Presley the 33 receiving yards.
Presley, who didn't throw an interception in the first seven games, became a Payton Award finalist. During the regular season, he completed 177-of-280 pass attempts (63.2 percent) for 2,223 yards and 18 touchdowns against only four interceptions, and rushed for 753 yards and 11 touchdowns. He ranked ninth nationally in passing efficiency rating (148.26) and 13th in total offense (270.55 ypg) while ASU posted a 9-2 record, won a share of its sixth straight Southern Conference title and captured the No. 1 seed for the FCS playoffs.
The Mountaineers beat Western Illinois in the second round and bowed out in the quarterfinals against Villanova to finish with a 10-3 record.
The announcement of the Payton Award, presented by The Sports Network and sponsored by Fathead.com, will be made at the 24th Annual FCS Awards Banquet on Thursday night, Jan. 6 in Frisco, Texas. Presley, Western Illinois quarterback Matt Barr and Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses are among the top three vote-getters and will be in attendance for the announcement of the winner.
"Armanti was a little better of a scrambler guy, where DeAndre sits in the pocket a little bit longer," Appalachian State head coach Jerry Moore said. "They both have really nice arms, they have quick releases and they have good vision."
"I can't control how people are going to react to me being a quarterback, I can't control the decision-making that our coaches make," Presley said. "The only thing I can control is the way I prepare for every game and every practice and step into this role that I have stepped into."

Just a bit of fun as we go into the Fall season, really. So, if you have a sec and you feel like checking it out, I'll post the link below.
Have yourselves a lovely week,
Here is a link that might be useful: Nifty thrifty blog guessing game
Ha, yes, admittedly it's more of a guessing than a knowing game. But because I'll be doing a drawing from the most correct answers-- and there are two different drawings-- it at least gives folks a good chance.
I'm happy to have anyone participate who cares to. (It's not a salesy thing, it's just for fun.)
Thanks for stopping by, Craftylady! :-) Happy crafting to you,

What do these people have in common? All have been accused of the worst crime a woman can commit: that of failing to live up to the ideal of the perfect mother. In the first part of an exclusive serialisation of her new book, Aminatta Forna argues that, when it comes to motherhood, women have nothing to lose but their chains
Sunday 28 June 1998
The motherhood myth is the myth of the "Perfect Mother". She must be completely devoted not just to her children, but to her role. She must be the mother who understands her children, who is all-loving and, even more importantly, all-giving. She must be capable of enormous sacrifice. She must be fertile and possess maternal drives, unless she is unmarried and/or poor, in which case she will be vilified for precisely the same things. We believe that she alone is the best caretaker for her children and they require her continual and exclusive presence. She must embody all the qualities associated with femininity such as nurturing, intimacy and softness. That's how we want her to be. That's how we intend to make her.
The ideology which accompanies the myth of the perfect mother can only conceive of one way to mother, one style of exclusive, bonded, full-time mothering. Despite the changes in the working and family lives of millions of women, despite the talk of an age of "post-feminism", attitudes towards mothers are stuck in the dark ages. Thirty years on from the start of the second wave of the feminist movement, we are still debating the effects of daycare on the children of working mothers and blaming never-married or divorced mothers for their children's problems. This vision of idealised motherhood still permeates every aspect of life, from the division of labour at home, to our employment laws, policies and legal rulings, and it drips down continually through popular culture, books, television, films and newspapers.
Beliefs about motherhood are passed off as "traditional" and "natural", as though the two words had the same meaning; and, as both traditional and natural, these beliefs have become unassailable. Yet, as any historian will tell you, the most enduring of these ideas is not more than a few hundred years old. There have been periods in history when women appeared not to care much for their children at all, routinely sending new-borns away to wet-nurses and using infanticide as a means of family planning. The current maternal ideal is simply the product of a particular time and place, and at its height lasted no more than a few years from the end of the Second World War until the early Seventies. It just happens to be the version that was in place when most of the people who are now running the country were born, and comes to us washed with the sentiment of nostalgia.
Nothing exemplifies the paradox of motherhood as a state which is both revered and reviled, natural and yet policed, more clearly than the issue of breastfeeding. Bottle-feeding is frowned upon and the pressure on mothers to breastfeed is immense, yet there are still very many people in the UK who regard the sight of a breastfeeding woman as obscene. This contradictory response to motherhood is evidenced in other ways, too. A woman announcing her pregnancy will be offered congratulations, will find herself treated as though she has done something very special, but the display of a pregnant body inspires a degree of repulsion which is not properly explained by the suggestion that such images are merely indecorous or inappropriate. When Demi Moore appeared on the front cover of Vanity Fair naked and pregnant, some newsagents insisted the magazine be sold in an opaque wrapper. Mothers should not be seen. Neither should they be heard. One rarely hears mothers complain, and then never in public. Their compliance is bought or ensured in three ways: by glorifying aspects of motherhood; by making women who don't feel or do what is required feel guilty; and finally, as a last resort, by punishing mothers considered actually deviant.
The ideal mother is everywhere in art, poetry, fiction, film. She is the dream for whom Peter Pan searches, a beautiful memory to Cinderella and Snow White whose stepmothers are cruel to them. She is there on the cover of Good Housekeeping and Family Circle, in television programmes such as Happy Days and Little House on the Prairie. In more contemporary depictions like The Cosby Show, a nod to modernity has allowed her a job. Working alongside the idealised depiction of motherhood is the second tool of enforcement: guilt. Guilt has become so strongly associated with motherhood that it is often considered to be a natural emotion. It is not. Guilt is not a biological, hormonally-driven response. Women feel guilty because they are made to. Mothers are told that every failure, every neglected task, every dereliction of their growing duties, every refusal to sacrifice will be seared upon their child's psyche, will mar his or her future, and damage not only the mother-child relationship but every subsequent relationship in the child's life. That is, if the mother who is found to be wanting doesn't create a juvenile delinquent or a fully- fledged criminal.
In the Nineties the accumulated results of the hailstorm of advice and threats is a hyperconsciousness about mothering, particularly among middle- class women, many of whom work and have children in their thirties. The current pressures on mothers mean that such women embark on motherhood with guilt built in from the start, and they approach the role with an enormous degree of anxiety, determined to do it right, determined not to be criticised. A lack of support from the wider polity means they are like trapeze artists, flying without a safety net, unable to afford the luxury of a single mistake. They become control freaks. Everything is sublimated to the needs and wishes of the child.
On the flip side of the coin are those mothers society views as so wicked and unnatural that they have to be forced into taking responsibility. In America women are being prosecuted and imprisoned for taking illegal drugs while they are pregnant; forced into having caesarean sections against their wishes; or hospitalised by court order for failing to follow a doctor's orders. The notion of "foetal rights", which underlies many of these convictions, is burgeoning and is rapidly being exported to the UK. In contrast to the over-anxious mother who is generally white and middle-class, these "unnatural" mothers are usually poor. In Britain, women are being charged and imprisoned for leaving their children at home alone. For those women who deliberately harm their children, society reserves a strength of hatred unequalled for any male killer.
Nothing provokes the fear that motherhood, as we know it, is under threat more than the new reproductive technologies that have made mothers of older women, lesbians, even virgins. Such births, because they appear neither "natural" nor "traditional", are a blatant challenge to an accepted view of what motherhood should be. The policymakers' answer, which is to try to limit these women's access to the science, says it all. Technology has dramatically challenged the most basic assumptions around mothering. Take the simple verbs "to mother" and "to father". How they are defined reveals an abundance of meaning. "To father" just means to beget, an act of procreation; but "to mother" means to nurture, to rear, to feed, to soothe and to protect. Today, techniques enabling human egg retrieval and donation mean that women, just like men, can be the biological parents of children they never see and to whom they do not give birth.
At the same time, growing numbers of women are rejecting motherhood altogether. Women individually now have fewer children and fertility levels are at an all-time low; women leave starting a family until as late as possible, often into their thirties; and many have opted not to have children at all.
Ideas about "maternal instinct" have resurfaced with a new vigour. While most scientists will give a cautious nod to the notion that some form of instinct is at work within all of us, few would venture to try to describe precisely how instincts manifest themselves in behaviour in any predictable way. The real question is, why is it so important to label these feelings instinctual? A clue to the agenda that lies behind the enthusiasm for notions of "instinct" is evidenced by the delight and satisfaction which greet the news that a woman previously considered a "career woman" (particularly a high-profile woman) has given up her job to have children. Such a woman is perceived as having bowed to the inevitable, given way to nature and fulfilled her true destiny. In short, women are made to be mothers not managers and here is the proof.
The facts are that a great many policy decisions rest on our accepted views of motherhood. The new determinism offers a neat solution to complicated policy issues relating to the family and women's position within and outside of it and the flexibility of the workplace. If it is accepted that women are biologically programmed for motherhood, some would argue, many things follow. Social commentator and columnist Melanie Phillips, for example, has argued that the biological differences between men and women mean that men should have first call on jobs. In The End of Order, Professor Francis Fukuyama argues that women's entry into the workplace (and dereliction of the duties of good motherhood) is responsible for the breakdown of the social fabric. For both Phillips and Fukuyama, motherhood means stay-at-home motherhood.
In every society there is a tendency to assume that there is only one way to look after children, and that is the way it is done in that culture. Anthropologists and sociologists, however, have demonstrated that motherhood is a social and cultural construct which decides how children are raised and who is responsible for raising them. There are places in this world where motherhood has been differently forged; where a mother is not alone in her responsibility to her child and no one would expect her to be so; where men are far more involved in the lives of their children; where there is no conflict for women between having children and going to work; and where mothers are not made to feel guilty for the personal choices they make.
The insistence that a certain style of motherhood is "natural" leads women to question every aspect of what they do, think and feel and to measure their own experience against an impossible and rigid standard. Every one of us assesses our own mother's record, picking over her failures and all to easily forgetting her accomplishments. Collectively we judge the mothers around us personally and through our institutions. The myths around motherhood are seductive traps which set up women in the cruellest way. My book traces the origins of those myths and examines how they continue to control and manipulate women.
