What can The Simpsons teach us about stats algorithms? Glad you asked...
No, not the Simpsons – Simpson's Paradox
They look alike
The clients are clearly different, the country may be different, so may the time of year, the weather and so on. It is worth remembering that when we combine data sets, we are (consciously or unconsciously) saying that we think they are similar enough to make combining them a sensible act. And really we have no evidence in this case that this is a reasonable assumption.
You can also see Simpson's paradox in cases where percentages and/or actions are combined carelessly. Imagine two schools and two teachers. Sally works at school 1 and Brian at school 2, but they also occasionally teach at each other's schools as part of a staff-sharing programme.
The teachers are rated by the percentage exam passes of the children they teach.
Brian | Sally | |
School 1 | 90 per cent | 88 per cent |
School 2 | 75 per cent | 60 per cent |
Brian beats Sally in both schools. But, by now, you know what is going to happen. When we calculate the percentage for all children, the situation reverses, Sally beats Brian:
Brian | Sally | |
Overall | 75 per cent | 87 per cent |
In this case the paradox arises because the schools themselves have very different pass rates and the teachers teach very different numbers in the two schools.
Brian | Brian | Sally | Sally | ||
Pass | Fail | Pass | Fail | ||
School 1 | Number of children | 9 | 1 | 700 | 100 |
Percentages | 90 | 10 | 88 | 13 | |
School 2 | Number of children | 600 | 200 | 6 | 4 |
Percentages | 75 | 25 | 60 | 40 | |
Combined | Number of children | 609 | 201 | 706 | 104 |
Percentages | 75 | 25 | 87 | 13 |
Brian achieves 90 per cent in school 1, but he only teaches ten children there so that percentage is based on a very small sample. He could easily have achieved only, say, 30 per cent had he taught a different set of children, but he lucked out. Likewise Sally taught only a few children in school 2 and perhaps she was unlucky in her sample.
Both the large and small samples are being used to produce the same kind of value (a percentage) but when we combine the two samples for each teacher, the samples with the high numbers of students overwhelm the samples with low numbers. Which is why, in each case, the percentages of the combined sets are very close to the percentages for the large samples.
Simpson's paradox is a well-known and well-studied problem and whilst it had been identified previously, it was a British statistician who brought it to prominence with this (warning: PDF) 1951 paper**. And – quite worryingly – you might encounter Simpson's Paradox more often than you think, according to Marios G Pavlides and Michael D Perlman here (PDF).
Once you start to combine data sets you are almost certain to run into this paradox. As a general take-home rule, it's a good idea to dissuade people from combining data from non-identical sources unless a great deal is known about all the factors that are involved.
As for being you're damned if you do and damned if you don't? You'll have to find out for yourself. ®

BATON ROUGE - Fremont native Paul Dietzel, the head coach and architect of LSU's 1958 football national championship team, died early Tuesday morning.
Dietzel, who later served as athletics director at LSU, passed away after a brief illness at the age of 89.
"Coach Dietzel was a man of great honor and integrity. He was the perfect role model for young people, and I will always cherish the moments that I was able to spend with him," LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said Tuesday in a release by the school's sports information department. ...

Cartilage normally protects the joint, allowing for smooth movement. Cartilage also absorbs shock when pressure is placed on the joint, like when walking. Arthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage. Without the usual amount of cartilage, the bones of the joint rub together, causing pain, swelling and stiffness.

A straightforward method of checking pendulum impact testing machines was developed at the end of the 1970s at the request of French industrialists. This method was based on the use of reference test pieces to compare the energy provided by a reference machine with that of test (or industrial) machines. These principles are outlined in French standard NFA 03-508 and France had a national source of unnotched, reference test pieces. The manufacture of reference test pieces, characterization of calibrated batches and the indirect verification of industrial machinery therefore have been practised for twelve years or so.
Various European studies and changes in standardisation protocols have led to the replacement of unnotched test pieces by Charpy notched test pieces. France developed a source of reference test pieces of this type in the early 1990s. The French system, which is based on a partnership comprising the Fédération Française de l'Acier (French Steel Federation), steelmakers Aubert and Duval, and national laboratories (CTA and LNE), has been in operation since European standard EN 10 045-2 was first applied in 1993. Experience together with discussions between partners and users has led to considerable advances in the processes used to manufacture these test pieces, thus improving the dispersion obtained. The quality situation, especially accreditation procedures implemented by national organisations such as COFRAC (Comité Français d'Accréditation — French Accreditation Comity), has also contributed to advances in perfecting methods and assessing approximations.

The Cave Art Paintings of the Chauvet Cave
Page 1/7
John Robinson
John Robinson [1935 - 2007], artist and co-founder of the Bradshaw Foundation, first met
Dr. Jean Clottes
in 1994 in Flagstaff, Arizona at the International Rock Art Congress hosted by the American Rock Art Research Association (ARARA), where the Foundation was promoting its recently published book '
- Ancient Rock Paintings of North-West Australia'. What began as a formative collaboration between the eminent French prehistorian and John Robinson, Director of the Bradshaw Foundation, soon became a strong friendship.
In 1996, only 4 years after Chauvet's discovery, Jean Clottes and his scientific team were chosen by the
Ministry of Culture to
investigate the cave and its extraordinary cave paintings
and pristine archaeological artefacts. In 1999, merely three years later as the preliminary results of Jean Clottes' scientific analysis of the
Palaeolithic cave paintings
were sending shock waves through several academic fields around the world, John Robinson was honoured to be invited into Chauvet Cave. Clearly, Dr. Jean Clottes was keen to observe the insight of a
modern day artist
; for the
, he was about to embark on
one of the greatest experiences of his life
John Robinson and
Dr. Jean Clottes
When Jean Clottes invited me to join his Team for the Investigation of the Chauvet Cave paintings, that was discovered on the 18th December 1994, he warned me that I would not be able to visit until the entrance had been widened, and he thought that this would take at least 18 months. That didn't worry me in the least as after seeing the photographs of the Chauvet Cave paintings, I would have been happy to have waited three years, or five. Ten might have been asking too much!
Also I had heard Jean's own story of his first visit to the cave with Jean-Marie Chauvet, Eliette Deschamps, and Christian Hillaire. I don't have any trouble with tight spots in caves, in fact rather enjoy the challenge, but I am not sure that squeezing through a foot high down hill letterbox for 25 feet was quite my cup of tea. I was happy to wait until the tunnel had been widened.
How do you prepare yourself for a visit to see the oldest known cave paintings in the world especially when you have seen the photographs and know that you are going to see works of astounding beauty? I had over a year to prepare myself for what was going to be one of the great artistic experiences of my life, as was my visit to the Sistine Chapel.
I decided that where possible I would avoid looking at any photographs of cave paintings from Chauvet for the coming year. Unfortunately I would occasionally see pictures in magazines, but I purposely didn't study them, only read the articles. I wanted the paintings to be as fresh to my eyes as it was possible. At last the appointed day arrived, the 18th of October 1999 was a glorious sunny day.
My wife and I drove south through France from Lyon along the Rhone River, and turned west at St Just into the Gorges de L'Ardeche. I wanted to get the feeling of the environment in which the cave is situated. The Gorges is one of the most spectacular Canyons in Europe, and can be well viewed from several vantage points along the road that follows the top of the sheer cliffs, from where you can look down on the crystal clear river.
At the head of the canyon, just before reaching Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, the road descends to the river. Rounding a bend we were suddenly confronted with a glorious freak of nature, the
. The river has cut straight through a rock barrier; thus creating an enormous and majestic Arch that spans the flow. A canoe was being paddled under the arch the moment we arrived, giving the scene a remarkable perspective. The Arch of Pont d'Arc is a wonder to behold. What would it have meant to the Chauvet People 30,000 years ago? Would it have represented an animal as Jean suspects?
Possibly, as in the caves the artists had often used the natural form of the rock surface to depict the animals in the Chauvet Cave paintings. I looked at the Arch and immediately saw a Lion. We found a quiet little hotel in old Vallon, and I rang Jean. He had established his HQ in a Municipal Holiday Camp, his team had set up their laboratories for the study of the cave. Jean asked me to meet him at 0830 in a car park near the Arch.
The paintings of the Chauvet Cave are an archaeologist's dream come true as the whole cave is in a pristine condition, untouched by man for possibly 27,000 years, as the only visitors since the cave paintings were done have been the Bears, who used the cave for their winter hibernation. Every possible precaution is being taken to disturb nothing. As soon as the entrance had been widened, aluminium catwalks were brought in and erected on six inch high legs to protect the floor of the cave. A network of scientific apparatus constantly monitors the temperature, and humidity of the cave.

The low-temperature magnetic resonance in two related Heisenberg pyrochlores Gd2Ti2O7 and Gd2Sn2O7 is studied. The gapped acoustic branches are found in both compounds. Weakly dispersive soft modes are observed in the saturated phase of Gd2Ti2O7, in agreement with the predictions of the spin-wave theory. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Lovedogs55, I had a prostatectomey last year so I understand, thankfully after radiation, my PSA as been non-detecatable. We have 1 dog, two horses, and 4 cats that have adopted are barn and home. They all are geat and help keep me similing.
Researching the web about Parkinson's and Parkinisoms frustrates my wife. So I don't get to do it often. Besides this sight do you recommned any others where chatting is possible. Talking with you is very helpful.View Thread
By the way, I seem to be bitting my tounge while sleeping? Last night was the 4th time in a month. Is this a possible symptom. It seems like every new pain or soreness brings the question is it PD or age. I am 58.
batexasView Thread
I am hoping that through this discussion I will be able to learn more about the conflict in diagnosis from two well regarded PD neuroloigsts and what changes I may be facing in the next 3 to 5 years.

My brother currently has Glary utilities but has problems when there is an update to do, as he has to go to the website then download the update then install it (he had 12 downloads and had not installed any of them) he wondered why he was continually being asked to update, he is getting on a bit and not very good on PC he needs something that will udate automatically from the software with as few steps as possible, also free if possible.

Surley the easy answer would be for you to give him a hand and load the updates for him, or do you like too far away or another reason why you cannot do this?.

Hi Terry
Yes it is quiet a way from where I live... I dont mind making the trek but just thought it might be an idea to install something different for him. I have downloaded advanced system care on to my PC, I will use it for a while to see if it might be OK for him to use.

Glary was or use to be classed as one of the 'better/reliable' product. Advanced System Care was originally Advanced Window Care, and over time, this as undergone a number of changes (some good,some not so good). The same applies to Iobit and Ashampoo products. All have free versions available.
Install CCleaner, and give that a try. You could also check out http://www.majorgeeks.com or http://www.filehippo.com for other alternatives (the latest version of CCleaner should be on both websites).
If you are not sure about other products, then come back with your queries.

One option would be to tell him to ignore or say 'No Thanks' to the updates and let you sort it out when you visit. After all they are seldom critical and some do detract from the original (good) functionality of some software as spuds points out.

Overexpression of UbcH10 alternates the cell cycle profile and accelerate the tumor proliferation in colon cancer
1 Department of Cancer and Thoracic Surgery, Okayama University School of Medicine, Okayama, Japan
2 Division of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Okayama University Hospital, Okayama, Japan
3 Division of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Okayama University Hospital, Okayama, Japan
BMC Cancer 2009, 9:87 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-9-87
Published: 21 March 2009Abstract
UbcH10 participates in proper metaphase to anaphase transition, and abrogation of UbcH10 results in the premature separation of sister chromatids. To assess the potential role of UbcH10 in colon cancer progression, we analyzed the clinicopathological relevance of UbcH10 in colon cancer.
We firstly screened the expression profile of UbcH10 in various types of cancer tissues as well as cell lines. Thereafter, using the colon cancer cells line, we manipulated the expression of UbcH10 and evaluated the cell cycle profile and cellular proliferations. Furthermore, the clinicopathological significance of UbcH10 was immunohistologically evaluated in patients with colon cancer. Statistical analysis was performed using the student's t-test and Chi-square test.
Using the colon cancer cells, depletion of UbcH10 resulted in suppression of cellular growth whereas overexpression of UbcH10 promoted the cellular growth and oncogenic cellular growth. Mitotic population was markedly alternated by the manipulation of UbcH10 expression. Immunohistochemical analysis indicated that UbcH10 was significantly higher in colon cancer tissue compared with normal colon epithelia. Furthermore, the clinicopathological evaluation revealed that UbcH10 was associated with high-grade histological tumors.
The results show the clinicopathological significance of UbcH10 in the progression of colon cancer. Thus UbcH10 may act as a novel biomarker in patients with colon cancer.

I own a performer, at times I wished that it had a bigger cooking area. The Ranch Kettle was to big, then 2 and half years ago I came across the 26 inch Weber. I bought it and have been very Happy with it. It is very handy when Holidays come around and you cook for a Family gathering, I was able to cook 2 Tri-Tips and some chicken on it.

I bought this grill's first iteration in ca. 1980. It was terrific for smoking whole turkeys and ribs, because you could keep the meat on one side, and the charcoal and wood chips/chunks on the other side (with or without using the charcoal baskets) to get low-temp "oven" cooking. After years and years of use (until 1997) including taking the legs off and hauling it to Baja for beach barbecuing fresh-caught fish, and driving the heat to insane levels for steaks that basically burned off the wood lid handle and sagged the grate, and not being able to find a replacement, but mostly due to moving to a new home that had a wood deck, for which the old open-pan ash catcher was not safe, I gave it away and bought a 22-incher with composite handles, and the closed-pot ash catcher. I currently use a Performa 22, and an old New Braunfels smoker for slow cooking with one door hinge out of commission, still usable, but hobbling.. I've been looking at Kamados, but I think I'll probably get a Weber 26. For sentimental reasons...like smoking 3-4 slabs of ribs for 5 hours, then quick-searing them directly over charcoal.

I have waited almost 6 years before purchasing this grill. It was worth it. I can cook everything from ribs to pies on this grill and it will come out great! Don't be shy about putting your cast iron on this grill. It will only expand your options and will make you love this grill even more!!

The 26.75 is a great size for smoking or grilling. Use the amount of charcoal you need for the cook and you won't go wrong. You don't have to fill up the kettle. I've slow cooked lots of meats (ribs, butts, chickens, beef) and I've grilled lots. Very versatile. Forget the egg thingy, this is the all purpose, real fire cooker for any grilling/barbecuing enthusiast.

This grill does it all! I've had a Silver 22.5" for years, but it sometimes came up wanting on size, especially in some smoking applications and when cooking for large groups. But now that I've got the big boy here, I can pretty much do it all! I sold my smoker and my big Oklahoma Joes grill, 'cause this pretty much covers all of my needs. The air control seems to be right on par with my smaller Weber, so no need to worry about an adjustment period on that. Plus, charcoal usage doesn't seem to be all that much different. I still use his little brother for the bulk of my everday grilling, but it's nice to know when size DOES matter, this guy is ready to go!

I have owned WEBER charcoal grills for years, portable to 18". Thought this was a lil overkill on size compared to what i was used to..UNTIL..I cooked on it !! WOW !! What a great piece of cooking equipment! I thought i would use a lot more charcoal, but in reality i'm using less because of the charcoal baskets. I love everything about this grill! The one-touch clraning system is the best! I have cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it keeps getting better ! My wife bought this for me (really us) for Father's Day...what a great grilling time it has been so far!!

Although I've seen them around this is my first Weber. I've had it a few weeks and it's performed very well. I slow cooked two slabs for the 4th of July and grilled sausages, burgers, chicken, and dogs and it performed like a champ. I am pleased with this grill.

This is my first Weber grill, and after using it a few times I realized how much I can do with this thing. I have learned how to cook multiple items of different cooking times just by keeping my coals to one side, and with the use of the upper and lower vents. It's a great smoker, I can do a hot or cold smoke depending on how many coals I have lit. I have even made grilled pizzas on it with much success. Your only limited by your imagination! I use a Weber Go-Anywhere for my portable grill, these two are the only grills you'll ever need.

I havn't yet tried putting a PS2 game in myself to try, but oh well. I'm sure they're probaly right. I just don't know why.
I sold my PS2 to sonystyle in terms of credit, b/c they reccomeded it for the refurbishing program, but why refirbish that when you are just getting something that doesn't do the job for you? I'd get it if it was a regular PS3 and it had the backwords compatibility or if it were microsoft and they did it for the xbox in that respect, b/c you are getting the same function you had w/o the relic you don't want, and some savings towards what you do. Seems great, but wait I got screwed. F***
I guess I have to use my PC if I ever want to go back to playing PS2 games. Now I have to buy a PS2 usb adaptor. Screw you sony. *sighs* that being said, any reccomeded games?I just beat Uncharted 1, and have 2. I'm going to get Ratchet and Clank: ToD and hold off on CiT. I'll probaly get heavy rain when it comes out, and I'd like to try and play infamous, b/c I hear it's good, but I'd like to try and shy away from the A/A category. As for something like littlebigplanet, it's not really my "cup of tea". I want some good, obscure PS3 esclusive titles, any help?

Industry Asks Senate to Suspend EPA GHG Regulations2:59 PM MST | November 8, 2010 | Vincent Valk A consortium of industry groups has asked key senators, including top Republicans and conservative Democrats, to halt EPA greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations. EPA rules for stationary sources, including chemical plants and manufacturing facilities, are scheduled to take effect on January 2, 2011. ACC, NPRA, Socma and NACD were among the 21 groups who signed a recent letter to senators seeking action on the issue. The letter advocated a moratorium on EPA stationary source rules in upcoming funding bill measures. Congress must pass either a continuing resolution or...

Samuel Sublett Jr.: standards innovator receives Walter Dunbar Accreditation Award.
An ACA member for more than 30 years and a corrections professional for more than 40, Samuel Sublett Jr. has been a driving force within the Association. His work as senior standards adviser to every ACA president since 1974 and his 10-year tenure with the Standards Committee has resulted in the completion of national standards for both adult and juvenile correctional institutions. An E.R. Cass Award recipient, he has held several major leadership positions with the Association, including serving terms as ACA president, Board of Governors member, Delegate Assembly member, Executive Committee member, Youth Council chairman and Congress of Correction Program chairman.In view of his longstanding and groundbreaking service to ACA, Sublett was
presented the Walter Dunbar Accreditation Award at the 123rd Congress of Correction in Nashville, Tenn. The award is the highest honor bestowed by the Commission on Accreditation for Corrections and is presented annually to a person whose contributions have been above and beyond the call of duty.
"I was very proud to be associated with the name of Walter Dunbar," says Sublett, who worked with Dunbar years ago endorsing standards and accreditation. "He was one of the leaders in the movement and truly one of the great men in corrections."
Sublett describes his work with the Standards Committee and the Commission as "a labor of love" and attributes this in part to the enthusiasm of the people involved. "It's a real pleasure to be recognized for something you did that was fun," he says. This "fun" entailed the arduous task of helping to create ACA's 10-volume set of comprehensive corrections standards, which cover not only adult and juvenile departments, but also other systems such as parole and probation, community-based groups and jails.
According to Sublett, the standards process bolstered the credibility of corrections and the Commission, which had lacked direction before the 1970s. "The Commission had been created with a federal grant but floundered for several years as an independent agency," he says. "Since being brought under ACA's guidance, the Commission has been able to develop and make a significant impact in the field of corrections."
Sublett believes standards will remain a powerful force in corrections' future. "I see it as one of the principal developments in corrections, a major policy issue," he says. "It is in the public's interest."
A St. Charles, Ill., native, Sublett speaks from years of corrections experience. He began his career 41 years ago as a teacher in an Illinois state training school, then advanced to assistant principal, assistant superintendent, superintendent and manager of the state's juvenile system before ultimately becoming accreditation manager for the state's adult and juvenile systems.
Now retired, Sublett is still an active supporter of the accreditation process. He conducts audits for the Commission and consults nationally for ACA.

Q: Care to share a few grate tips?
A: You want to preheat the grate, get it good and hot. Once it's hot and oiled, and once you put the food in place on the grate, you want to leave it in that place for a good minute or more. While the food is cooking — while it's browning — it will release from the grate if you leave it in place and don't fiddle with it. And it's always a good idea to clean the grate immediately after grilling, using the brush that's recommended for the grill. It's easy to do when the grill is hot, because by the time it turns cold, all that stuff that's sticking to the grate can turn to concrete.
Q: Why do you say "No" to the grill cover?
A: The problem with covers is that you're basically baking, you're not grilling. Grilling is a very specific cooking technique, where food is exposed to fire and its surfaces get a good crisp. We think the flavor is better when the grill is uncovered, although covers have their uses, whether you're using a rotisserie, or if it's windy or raining, or you're trying to cook something large and you're using indirect heat.
Way back when grilling was becoming popular in this country, meats were fattier, and the marinade recipes in those old cookbooks were loaded with oils. It wasn't any big surprise that people were getting massive flare-ups. George Stephen, the father of the Weber grill, observed this, and he figured that if you put a cover on it, then people wouldn't burn their eyebrows. People grill all over the world, of course, and no one tries to use a cover other than Americans.
Q: What made you such ardent grilled pizza fans?
A: Unless you invest in your own home pizza oven, this is the closest thing you can get to a real wood-fired pizza oven taste. The technique sounds awkward, but it's not hard to do, and with practice it becomes really easy. It freaks people out that you put the dough on the cooking grate, but it works, and you get great results, fast.
Q: What's the route to first-rate grilled burgers?
A: Well, there's the burger itself. You need to start with good-quality, freshly ground beef. Ideally, it should be at least 15 percent fat content, maybe even 20 percent. It's not like you're going to eat all that fat — it's going to drip out of the burger — but it makes it especially juicy.
Get a better bun than your average supermarket bun. Or try a different meat. Lamb makes for a wonderful burger.
Q: What about grilled steaks?
A: Again, you want to start with a good-quality steak. It should be at least choice, and if you can find prime and you can afford it, that's a great splurge, and a good way to begin.
You don't want to grill super-cold meat, you should let it sit out for about 30 minutes before it goes on the grill.
You'll want to start it over a really hot fire. That will help you get that seared surface, that nice, almost caramelized crunch, which will contrast to the juicy meat inside. Then you'll want to finish it over medium heat.

Oneirocritica (The Interpretation of Dreams) is an ancient Greek treatise on dream interpretation written by Artemidorus in the 2nd century AD,[1] and is the first extant Greek work on the subject, in five books. The first three volumes were intended for the general public, providing an encyclopedic treatment of the subject matter of dreams, and the remaining two volumes were written for the private use of the author's son, a novice dream interpreter. Artemidorus inscribed the book "Artemidorus of Daldis", despite having been born in Ephesus, to commemorate the little-known birthplace of his mother in Lydia.
Artemidorus suggests that dreams are unique to the individual, and that a person's waking life will affect the symbols in his dreams. He shows awareness of the dreaming mind's capacity to use metaphors in its messages.
Artemidorus' Oneirocritica is the point of reference of Michel Foucault's The History of Sexuality, Vol. 3: The Care of the Self, which analyzes the text as a practical, experiential guide rather than a moral reflection or evaluation. It reveals culturally salient patterns relating to "the ethical experience of the aphrodisia."[2]
The first three books divide dreams into major groups. Book one is dedicated to the anatomy and activity of the human body: 82 sections interpret the appearance in dreams of subjects like head size, eating, and sexual activity. For example, section 52 says, concerning one activity of the body, "All tools that cut and divide things in half signify disagreements, factions, and injuries ... Tools that smooth out surfaces predict an end to enmities."
The second books treat objects and events in the natural world, such as weather, animals, the gods and flying. The section on animals includes mammals (domestic and wild), sea creatures, reptiles, and those that fly. Section 12 reads, "There is an affinity between all wild animals and our enemies. A wolf signifies a violent enemy ... A fox indicates that the enemy will not attack openly but will plot underhandedly."
The third book is miscellaneous.
Artemidorus moves from dream content to the technique of dream interpretation in book four, which is addressed to his son. He states that the interpreter needs to know the background of the dreamer, such as his occupation, health, status, habits, and age. The plausibility of dream content should be considered, which cannot be done without reference to the dreamer. The interpreter should find out how the subject feels about each component of the dream. In book five, Artemidorus presents a further 95 dreams he collected, for his son to use as practice material.
Artemidorus stresses the empirical nature of his research. "I did not rely upon any simple theory of probabilities but rather on experience and the testimony of actual dream-fulfillments." His research took him to cities in Greece, Italy and its larger islands, and Asia Minor. He indicates that he reviewed all available literature on dreams, and that he spent years consulting with oral interpreters.
Editions and translations[edit]
- The definitive edition of the Greek text is by Roger Pack, Artemidori Daldiani Onirocriticon Libri V (Teubner 1963)
- A medieval Arabic version was made of the first three books (i.e., the "public" books) in 877 AD by Hunayn ibn Ishaq, and published by Toufic Fahd with a French translation in 1964 under the title Le livre des songes [par] Artémidore d'Éphèse
- The most recent English translation is by R.J. White, The Interpretation of Dreams (Park Ridge, NJ, 1975). White's original translation is not in print, but was reformatted for the non-academic market (ISBN 0-944558-03-8); key images appear in boldface type and are indexed at the end.
- The most recent Italian translation is by Dario Del Corno, Libro dei sogni (1974)
- The most recent French translation is by A.J. Festugière, Clef des Songes (1975)
- The "fragments" of other Greco-Roman oneirocritic authors were compiled by Dario Del Corno in his Graecorum de re Onirocritica Scriptorum Reliquiae (1969), with commentary in Italian. As many of the fragments are preserved by Artemidorus, Del Corno's work is also a partial commentary to the Oneirocritica.
- There is also a Dutch translation, by Simone Mooij-Valk, called Droomboek (2003)

A Vibe is an emotion forced on any living thing appearing in the game Super Princess Peach. In this title, Princess Peach is the main protagonist and can freely use one of four of types of Vibe: Rage, Gloom, Calm, and Joy. However, enemies continue using an infinite amount of a single type of Vibe until they are defeated, while Peach can only use Vibes until her Vibe Gauge is empty. As a mistake, the Calm heart has a happy face, and the Joy heart has a calm face.
The Vibe Gauge is the meter used to show the amount of Vibe energy that Peach currently has to use. The orange coloring shows the energy in the Vibe Gauge that is used for the Princess's Anger, Calm, Gloom, and Happy vibes, while blue coloring indicates that the Princess has no Vibe energy to use at all.
The Vibe Gauge can be filled by picking up Vibe Crystals or having Perry eat an enemy. Peach can also expand the amount of Vibe energy that she can carry by buying Vibe Tea at the Toad Shop.

MINTON AESTHETIC MOVEMENT MOON FLASK, Pierre Mallet Ducklings This moon flask was designed by Pierre Mallet as part of duckling series. The moon flask form with this design is quite rare. The flask is approximately 6 inches in width and 6.5 inches tall. The disk shaped flask is 2 inches from front to back. It stands on four blocky squared feet. The images include a tiny duckling breaking through its egg shell, a brightly colored butterfly and a voracious duckling that is so hungry that he commits an unspeakable act! Look closely! The black transfer design has been hand painted. The Moon Flask is a handsome example of the Duckling series, with some fine hairlines which go from the neck of the flask down about 1.5 inches on side, and a larger number of hairlines which travel down from the neck on the side about 3 inches. There are no other crazing or hairlines. The plates are hard to find, but finding a moon flask in the series is almost like finding hens teeth! |

Dirk Snellings (Bass)
Born: April 5, 1959 - Bilzen, Limburg, Belgium Died: July 15, 2014 - Tildonk, Flemish Brabant, Belgium
The Belgian bass, Dirk Snellings, appeared to be contaminated with the indestructible music virus, already at a very young age. During his secondary school days, he experienced unlimited possibilities to live music in the schools music workshop and was taught to play in group a variety of (old) wind and string instruments (recorder, crumhorn, pommer, viol, harpsichord, …) Out of this broad choice of instruments gradually grew his passion for the viola da gamba, taking the Baroque repertoire as working field. The hand making of these instruments captivated his interest for many hours in this period. He completed his higher education at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven at which he graduated in Music and followed courses in Anthropology (1978-1982). Besides the viola da gamba, Dirk Snellings discovered the new expressive methods of singing first as bass in some well known choirs (Currende, Collegium Vocale…), later as a student of singing with Lucienne Van Deyck. She taught him in a passionate and unique way how to master his vocal instrument. A period of intense studying at the Royal Flemish Conservatory of Music in Antwerp (1984-1987) resulted in obtaining the First Prize summa cum laude. In this way, the repertoire of old music was extended to contemporary compositions. Exactly in this field of tension between tradition and innovation, Dirk Snellings always discovered new challenges to look for the specific characteristics of each genre or style period and to find the matching vocal approach accordingly. Dirk Snellings was co-producer of Musica Antiqua at Radio Klara from from 1989 to 1992. As the Artistic Director of the Capilla Flamenca, founded in 1990, and together with Dr. Eugeen Schreurs (Alamire Foundation University of Leuven), he specialised in the famous music of the Flemish polyphonists, and with particular interest for the Burgundy composers. In his attempts at structurally underpinning these 'innovating' insights in vocal performing practise and at making them known to the public, he was supported by Herman Baeten, the inspirer of Musica, the Flemish service centre for Music in Peer. As a soloist Dirk Snellings could look back upon a rich concert practice in Belgium as well as abroad (Japan, USA, Poland, Hungary, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria…), where especially Baroque compositions, J.S. Bach in particular, are performed. This appears from numerous recordings for radio and television, as well as LP and CD recordings. Dirk Snellings also lectured as a singer and musicologist at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven (since September 1988) and at the Royal Flemish Conservatory of Music in Antwerp besides giving several Master Courses. In this way he was given the opportunity to pass on his experiences as 'searching singer' to a new generation of promising musicians.

Changes in atmospheric ozone have occurred since the preindustrial era as a result of increasing anthropogenic emissions. Within ACCENT, a European Network of Excellence, ozone changes between 1850 and 2000 are assessed for the troposphere and the lower stratosphere (up to 30 km) by a variety of seven chemistry-climate models and three chemical transport models. The modeled ozone changes are taken as input for detailed calculations of radiative forcing.
 When only changes in chemistry are considered (constant climate) the modeled global-mean tropospheric ozone column increase since preindustrial times ranges from 7.9 DU to 13.8 DU among the ten participating models, while the stratospheric column reduction lies between 14.1 DU and 28.6 DU in the models considering stratospheric chemistry. The resulting radiative forcing is strongly dependent on the location and altitude of the modeled ozone change and varies between 0.25 Wm−2 and 0.45 Wm−2 due to ozone change in the troposphere and −0.123 Wm−2 and +0.066 Wm−2 due to the stratospheric ozone change.
 Changes in ozone and other greenhouse gases since preindustrial times have altered climate. Six out of the ten participating models have performed an additional calculation taking into account both chemical and climate change. In most models the isolated effect of climate change is an enhancement of the tropospheric ozone column increase, while the stratospheric reduction becomes slightly less severe. In the three climate-chemistry models with detailed tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry the inclusion of climate change increases the resulting radiative forcing due to tropospheric ozone change by up to 0.10 Wm−2, while the radiative forcing due to stratospheric ozone change is reduced by up to 0.034 Wm−2.
 Considering tropospheric and stratospheric change combined, the total ozone column change is negative while the resulting net radiative forcing is positive.

The problem is that there is a threat of legislative action to remedy "sex discrimination" in academia, to be modeled on legislation that remedied "sex discrimination" in university sports. The sports legislation had the effect of curtailing male sports, and the analogous legislation would radically curtail male fields such as mathematics, and, of course, economics. The mere threat of such legislation is likely to have similar effect. In 1969 a campaign was launched to make the word "gay" mean homosexual (probably earlier than 1969, but 1969 was when it got into everyone's face) This campaign had limited effectiveness until it was backed by state compulsion in 1991. A series of increasingly destructive and coercive social engineering programs have followed. Since any field where men are better than women hurts the self esteem of all women, all such fields must be deprecated. If persuasion fails to result in sufficient deprecation, the state must impose and enforce sufficient deprecation. You may think such a policy absurd, but it is politically far easier to get rid of tenured mathematicians and economists, than to get rid of a football team. Posted May 5, 2008 6:16 PM

I like Hakim's take on the issue, where she gets at preferences not from a subject point-of-view, but from an importance-of-career-vs-family point-of-view. Her conclusion is similar to Johnson's in that many of remedies being recommended will be useless (and in some cases, self-defeating) in trying to alter sex ratios. If anything, it seems work policies should be less family-friendly if you want more women in "top" positions. Posted May 7, 2008 7:58 AM
