I had an eye examination appointment yesterday. My eyes are in great shape and I'm 70. My health is wonder full. I told the doctor that I am convinced the body has a consciousness of it's own as differentiated from my own consciousness.
Her response .... most people don't know that. I said, "I take care of my body and my body takes care of me,." She agreed.
I talk to my body. I encourage it, just as I would encourage a pet. "You're a good body."
When I meditate on my Creator, my body responds also, I can truly say, "I love you with all my heart, my mind, my soul and my body." The response of my body to my Creator is often tears of joy overflowing. My Creator's response to my body? I'm 70 and in near perfect health. If something goes wrong with my body, Creator fixes it. lol
yeah, I'll listen to my heart then :)
The heart comes first

Whale sharks can be found in all temperate and tropical oceans around the world, with the… exception of the Mediterranean Sea. Measuring up to 45 feet in length, these giants subsist on a diet of krill, squid and small fish. It is thought that whale sharks may have a lifespan of 100 to 150 years. The whale shark is a filter feeder, one of only three species of shark that feed by sucking water through its mouth and expelling it through the gills, trapping millions of plankton. These gentle creatures are at risk from commercial fishing for food. Show More

This Holy Week, interactive Stations of the Cross at Fort Boni–for believers and non-believers alike
More News from Anne A. Jambora
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Walk through the last moments of Jesus' life and rediscover your faith this Holy Week through the art installations and interactive stations in "Walkway: Reflections on the Stations of the Cross," on March 24-31, 11 a.m.-11 p.m., at Bonifacio Global City, The Fort, Taguig.
"Walkway," put together by the independent organization called Church Simplified, is now on its fifth year. Already it has become the last stop for devout Catholics after their annual pilgrimage or Visita Iglesia.
The mall, with its rows of restaurants, is just the perfect stop for families to rest after their long journey. The kilometer-long Stations of the Cross, however, is also designed to lure even agnostics and atheists.
"We wanted to create a space where people can come to investigate what Christianity is. Some stations have more historical facts, and some are reflection pieces. So if you're not into the spiritual side of things, at least you can connect to it on an intellectual level. There's something for everyone," said Bebo Bharwani, founder of Church Simplified.
Church Simplified, an independent organization of young, passionate people, gives the annual Catholic tradition a makeover that will connect more with the youth or even bring back into the fold the prodigal sons and daughters. Stretching from Bonifacio High Street all the way down to the 7th Avenue, art installations are designed and created by artist Liliana Manahan.
"It's a great tradition that we have as Catholics. In a culture where we do it every year, we want a fresh take on it, especially for a younger crowd who is exposed to different forms of media. Sometimes its ability to connect to us is lost. So we decided to make an installation that's very artistic and visually engaging," said BJ Albert, a member of Church Simplified.
Untraditional stations
The stations are not the traditional 14 stations that focus on the suffering of Christ, starting with Jesus' condemnation and moving toward his execution and death. "Walkway" ends in a hopeful note—Jesus' resurrection symbolizing the salvation of mankind.
"Walkway" begins in The Garden, where Jesus negotiated with His Father to take the cup of suffering away from him (in previous years, this station featured dusty mirrors so you can see your reflection and know that Jesus died for you) and ends at The Table, where people partake of bread and wine in memory of their Savior.
The 14 stations are: The Garden, The Betrayal, The Trial, The Verdict, The Whip, The Curse, The Cross, The Two Simons, The Crucifixion, The Mother, The Promise, The Darkness, The Cloth and The Table.
Some stations have recreations of the whip, the crown of thorns and even a cross you can carry over your shoulders. There are walls where you can attach a small piece of paper with names or photos of people you want to be blessed, and a fish bowl containing names of strangers you can say a quick prayer for.
You can also nail a black piece of cloth to a gigantic cross, the black cloth representing something you want to give up—a nasty habit or an addiction, for example, and not just for the Lenten season.
"There's a purpose to what we do for the installation. The installations say what we want to communicate. There are reflective points that allow people to connect with the events of the stations. When Jesus was betrayed by his friends, maybe you have been betrayed also, or you betrayed others. It connects you now to the event. The visual art matches the event or the emotion we like people to experience," Albert said.
Free concert
Bharwani said they try to change things each year. For 2013, piped-in music will be installed in the stations to shut out the world—in this case, that would be the excited crowd of mallgoers, many with their dogs in tow.
Information/facts for every station will also be printed in large letters to avoid overcrowding in any of the station displays, and to allow people privacy for reflection.
On Easter Sunday, a free concert features the American rock band Jars of Clay at the BGC Central, 7 p.m.
There's always a music component to "Walkway," said Bharwani. Guests in previous years included Barbie Almalbis and Gary Valenciano.
Last year, "Walkway" attracted more than 30,000 visitors. That's a huge turnout for the group, which started its Stations of the Cross on the top floor of Fully Booked five years ago.
Church Simplified, founded six years ago by members of South City Church (now called Without Walls) in Alabang, is so named because it wants to go back to the simplest possible form of the church. It is a group of people "journeying together to take the next step with Jesus."
"Seekers are varied, trying to make sense of God and faith. The essence of it is, do you love God? Do you have an intimate relationship with God? Do you love people? Do you have people who are walking with you? Are you trying to use your life to better the world? We can walk together and help each other move forward. We think that is the essence of what a church is," Bharwani said.
Church Simplified meets every Sunday at 2nd's Restaurant, 2/F Wumaco Building, 9th Avenue in BGC, The Fort, Taguig. Visit www.churchsimplified.com for more info, and download for free original Christian music.

The official strategy affected education policy and practice in a number of ways: for example in the spectacular growth of the market in foreign student education, especially in tertiary institutions, and in official support for the activities of Australian educational institutions in East and Southeast Asian countries; in the encouragement of international educational coordination and cooperation, for example procedures for mutual recognition, in multilateral forums such as Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC); in languages policy in schools; and in the continuation of developmental aid in education. Australian educational policy towards countries of the region moved uneasily between a neo-colonial superior/ inferior dualism (Asia understood as `third world'), to a trading relationship (Asia understood as an upwardly mobile middle-class market to exploit), to Asia as a cultural partner with an open potential. This reflected both the great diversity of Asian nations and their developmental trajectories and the contemporary mixing of the historical layers of Australian policy itself as it moved from isolationism to engagement, from colonialism to a more independent national identity, and from Euro-racism to hesitant cosmopolitanism.
The Labor government strategy was rather misleadingly dubbed `Asianisation'--misleading because the term exaggerated the degree to which Australian identity was shifting. There was considerably less people movement from Australia to Asian nations, compared with the movement from Asian nations to Australia. Australia remained mono-cultural and mono-linguistic. Nor was the relationship with Asian nations yet conceived in terms of genuine equality, especially in the cultural sense. Australian policy was still influenced by the notions of the inherent superiority of the Western way of life inherited from 19th century British colonialism and the long dominance of White Australia in population policy. Too often, the material advantages of Australia as a first-world nation were seen as the sign of a `natural' cultural advantage, rather than historically contingent, the sign of an episodic imperialism and the associated economic and linguistic hegemony of Anglo-America. The resilience of this traditional racism was surprising, given the economic success of Japan, China and the `little dragons'. The persistence of the generic term `Asia' in official and public discourse indicated the degree to which East and Southeast Asian nations and peoples were still `othered' as non-European rather than understood in terms of their national specificities and their particular global roles.
These errors, limitations and hesitations help to explain the ease with which the Howard government elected in 1996 declared Keating's `Asianisation' strategy at an end. Howard's famous pre-election comment about being `comfortable and relaxed' signified his tacit support for the One Nation Party's assertion of a traditional British-centric and at most European-centric conception of Australia--a mono-cultural politics manifest again, later, in the government's aggressive hostility towards would-be Afghani refugees which helped it secure a third election victory in 2001. Nevertheless, just as Keating's rhetoric of `Asianisation' exaggerated the degree of commitment and change, so too did the official repudiation by the Howard government. The clock was not completely turned back. Immigration from Asian countries--although focused more on the wealthier source nations and globally mobile high-skill personnel than on poorer nations and family reunion--has been sustained. In this context, the political shift from the politics of anti-Asia to the politics of anti-Islam is significant, in that it has enabled the government to continue to mobilise traditional Anglo-Australian identity for internal political purposes, while at the same time reducing the damage to Australia's trading relations in the region caused by an overt anti-Asian stance, and thus permitting the continued growth of regional engagement. Nevertheless this strategy has created new problems in Australia's relations with the Muslim countries of the region, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia, problems that have yet to be acknowledged in Australia, much less faced.
Under the Howard government, education institutions have received a lesser level of policy support in their dealings in the region. For example, the current visa regime discriminates against student entrants from countries with a history of high over-stay such as China, and this has reduced the potential market. Despite this, the foreign student presence in Australia has continued to grow rapidly. In 1990, there were 24 998 international students enrolled in Australian universities. In the second half of 2001, there were 143 788 international students, including off-shore and distance-education enrolments, comprising 18.1 per cent of the total Australian student population, which is almost one student in every five (IDP, 2002). The overwhelming majority of these students were from East and Southeast Asia. This extraordinary growth has been partly driven by government fiscal policies that have reduced public investment in universities as a share of GDP to half the level of the late 1970s (Considine, Marginson, & Sheehan, 2001). There has also been significant though more modest growth in the number of international students in Australian schools. At the same time, educational collaboration between Australian institutions and Asian institutions continues to expand, especially in Hong Kong and mainland China, and in Singapore.
For Australian scholars working in the field of education, though the primary zone of international collaboration continues to be the English-speaking countries of the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK), Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, the regions of Western Europe and East and Southeast Asia are the site of growing activities. In the case of Asia, the most important locations for scholarly collaboration are probably the city states of Hong Kong and Singapore, where English is widely used and universities are thriving, assisted by local policies designed to build a central role in the global knowledge economy (Elson-Green, 2002). Many Australian education academics and teachers have worked for periods in mainland China and there is a growing presence also in Vietnam. There are continuing long-standing links with educators in the Philippines. The volume of collaboration in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand is perhaps less than the level of Australian educational business with those countries might suggest. Bourke and Butler's (1995) study of Australian patterns of international research collaboration noted that patterns of research collaboration do not always parallel the patterns of foreign student recruitment. In aggregate, Australian scholars have underplayed research collaboration with the well-developed universities in countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan, and should contribute more (while also learning in the process) to the evolution of research capacity in countries such as Indonesia and the nations of Indo-China. Indonesia, with one of the world's largest and most ethnically diverse populations, and among the world's lowest levels of GDP per head and proportion of GDP spent on education, is located closest to Australia and arguably is Australia's most important responsibility in educational aid. Scholarly collaboration between Australia and Indonesia has grown slowly, despite a long history of rather lop-sided Australian involvement in that country. In Indonesia, language barriers present more of a challenge to a mono-linguistic Australia, and internal political instability has combined with recent Australian obtuseness and indifference to weaken the potential for cross-border action.
In a global environment, the need to strengthen educational and scholarly links between Australia and the countries of the region is inescapable. No nation can be isolated from global relations; geo-political location matters and regional blocs are becoming increasingly important across the globe. However overblown in rhetoric and contradictory in practice, the Keating strategy was correct in its intention. Australia's future lies in a closer integration with the countries of the region, and as a junction point for relations between Europe, America and the individual countries of Asia. This makes it mandatory for Australia to expand its practical understanding of East and Southeast Asian countries. In the context of the knowledge economy and instantaneous global cultural engagement, driven by information and communications technologies, education has become increasingly crucial to this vital process of mixing and engagement.
Educational systems in Australia and the countries of the region, and scholars/researchers themselves, have much to learn from each other. In this context, it is very pleasing that the number and quality of contributions to the Australian Journal of Education from East and Southeast Asian countries and scholars continues to increase. All of the articles in this issue are ultimately sourced from the region, three from Hong Kong--which is playing an increasingly central educational part at the cross-roads between China and UK/Australia/Europe, one from Malaysia (via the USA) and one from Indonesia (via Australia). The final issue of 2001 featured articles from Korea and Vietnam, and the next edition will include a contribution from Taiwan. Some of these articles take us into the specificities of the nations concerned, others also pose questions of cross-cultural and comparative educational practices and identities, while a third group deals with more universal scholarly themes, albeit sometimes with a local or comparative twist (for example Lam, Wong, and Ho on school effectiveness research in this issue). AJE warmly welcomes further contributions from regional scholars, and trusts that Australian scholars will continue to expand their attention to regional and comparative themes.
AJE, Volume 46, Number 3
In a significant policy intervention, Amartya Sen's (1999) book Development as freedom argues for a fundamental reworking of the global debate on development strategy. Sen, who won the Nobel Prize for economics in 1998, combines economics with political philosophy in the tradition of Adam Smith, Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes. He is a political economist rather than a neo-classical economist like most of his contemporaries, and unlike them has strong practical concerns about global poverty and inequality. In Development as freedom, Sen argues that a nation's quality of life should be measured not by the level of GDP or some other indicator of economic wealth, but by the level of freedom. Far from econ-omic wealth being the means to political liberty, Sen argues that the causal relation is more often the other way round. The expansion of human capacity and capability through education, the liberation of women and the growth of democracy are primary conditions for both economic prosperity and for other forms of social well-being, including the equitable distribution of income and wealth.
The literature on human capital tends to concentrate on the agency of human beings in augmenting production possibilities. The perspective of human capability focuses, on the other hand, on the ability--the substantive freedom--of people to live the lives they have reason to value and to enhance the real choices they have ... even with the same level of income, a person may benefit from education--in reading, communicating, arguing, in being able to choose in a more informed way, in being taken more seriously by others and so on. The benefits of education, thus, exceed its role in commodity production ... there is a strong need to go well beyond that rather limited and circumscribed role of human capital in understanding development as freedom. (Sen, 1998, pp. 293-297)
In their discussion of Malaysian higher education, Surendra Subramani and Ken Kempner start from assumptions similar to those of Sen, that national development is a process of expanding freedom, and that self-determination is integrally linked to economic modernisation. Some might argue that economic success should not take place at the expense of national tradition. Subramani and Kempner assume rather that economic success is less likely to occur in developing nations that remain caught in the condition of dependence and the mentality of the `captive mind' (Alatas, 1974). Civic and policy agency is central to making the best use of material conditions; in a globalising world, national identity remains one of the keys to agency (Castells, 1997; Held, McGrew, Goldblatt, & Perraton, 1999); and national identity must be continually constructed. Education is central to this. Following their interviews with university and disciplinary leaders, Subramani and Kempner find that `certain segments of Malaysian higher education' are `making significant attempts to break out of the captivity of Western hegemony'. They draw attention to the role of language policy and of centres for regional studies in fostering Malaysian identity.
In describing and contrasting higher education reforms in Hong Kong and Singapore, Michael Lee focuses on countries with a somewhat different trajectory. Hong Kong and Singapore are specialising in the role of global hub. They also constitute major concentrations of diasporic Chinese capital with a key role in the economic shaping of mainland China. They are playing close attention to the development of their own capacity in services such as finance, communications and, more recently, education and knowledge that are increasingly important in the global era, and hence to the strategic role that the two city states have chosen for themselves. Lee charts recent education reforms, in which the mass education is joined to mixed funding, partial markets and new private universities, performance management, and governmental systems of `centralised decentralisation'. In many respects, the trends in Hong Kong and Singapore resemble Anglo-America and Western Europe. There are also differences, and the two countries diverge from each other in some respects. For example, enrolment ratios are higher in Singapore, whereas quality assurance is less centralised in Singapore than in Hong Kong.
In an important macro study of school effectiveness in Hong Kong, based on 41 709 students in 332 schools, Raymond Lam, Kam-cheung Wong and Lai-ming Ho demonstrate that general problems of research and policy, such as those focused on by the world-wide school-effectiveness movement, can take varying forms in different national sites. These data, derived from a streamed school system in Hong Kong, differ significantly from those derived from mixed ability sites. In the streamed system, school effects appear to be relatively enhanced. The results might be relevant not only to other East Asian countries with streamed systems, but also those schooling systems where recent policies of marketisation have produced de facto social streaming that correlates to ability streaming; for example New Zealand and to some extent the UK.
System-level reforms are top-down by their nature but they mostly depend for their implementation on semi-autonomous professionals who often lack an intrinsic interest in the immediate policy goals (for example saving money, securing tighter governmental control, presenting an appearance of government action) that the reforms are designed to achieve. It is not surprising that reforms are frequently ineffective and leave systems unchanged. In the third article from three different universities in Hong Kong, Derek Cheung develops and tests criteria for measuring teachers' varying responses to innovations, ranging from resistance to proactive implementation.
Erlenawati takes us from the system level to an intensive micro-level study of the conversational behaviour of Indonesian learners of English as a foreign language, and their assumptions about and approaches to learning. Her data highlight the influence of learners' own conscious beliefs about learning. In contrast to some of the stereotypes about `Asian learners', the Indonesian students are aware that knowledge of the cultural context strengthens language learning, although in part their prior learning has emphasised the importance of grammar and linguistic rules at the expense of communicative competence--that is language for practical use. These are common problems of foreign language learning in environments where resources for immersion in the spoken language are unavailable. Lack of a focus on communicative competence impairs not only language development but the capacity for inter-cultural cooperation.
Yang Rui's review of the book by Watkins and Biggs complements the articles, opening up the domain of comparative studies and the educational question of the `Chinese learner'. We hope to strengthen the AJE book reviews section, and the scholarly conversations it enables. Expressions of interest from potential reviewers are welcome.

Hearing Voices
What is this? For more than 30 years, shortwave radio bands around the world have been haunted by "numbers stations" on which anonymous voices recite strings of numbers and letters. These stations transmit in various languages, following strict schedules, but they never identify themselves or give any hint as to their purpose. It seems likely that they're run by government agencies, sending messages to spies in the field using a prearranged code. But why does the station known as "The Buzzer" send out buzzing sounds on 4625 kHz continuously, throughout the year? And why on earth does the station recorded above, known as the "Swedish Rhapsody," transmit the sound of a music box and a little girl's voice?
Numbers stations are beyond the reach of the Freedom of Information Act because (presumably) secrecy is essential to their missions, and in fact in the United Kingdom it's illegal even to listen to them. So we're unlikely to learn the full story anytime soon. But in 1997 the Irdial-Discs record label assembled a 5-CD set of recordings and has made it freely available to those who want to study them.
Lightning Tourism
It's possible to visit all six New England states in a single afternoon. The Big E, the region's annual exposition, features an Avenue of States that includes a replica of each state's original statehouse. Like an embassy, each building and the land on which it stands is owned by the state it represents, so Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont are all present on the same street.
This arrangement permits each house to sell lottery tickets, so it's possible to enter six state lotteries at the same time.
A Sky Duel
On March 31, 1943, Army Air Corps second lieutenant Owen Baggett's B-24 was hit by Japanese fighters while en route to destroy a railroad bridge in Burma. Baggett and four others bailed out before the bomber exploded, and the fighters began strafing them as they descended. Two of the parachutists were killed, and Baggett's arm was grazed. He drew his .45 and sagged in his harness, hoping the Japanese would think him dead.
Presently a Zero approached him at near stall speeds and the pilot opened his canopy to get a better look. Baggett fired four rounds into the cockpit and the fighter dropped out of sight.
Had he downed a fighter with a pistol? It's impossible to know for certain. Baggett was captured by the Burmese and spent two years in a Japanese prison camp and eventually retired from the Air Force as a colonel. When journalist John L. Frisbee contacted him in 1996, he was reluctant to talk about the incident — he believed he had hit the pilot but acknowledged that the evidence for this was indirect and circumstantial. Frisbee wrote that a few months after Baggett's imprisonment, "Col. Harry Melton, commander of the 311th Fighter Group who had been shot down, passed through the POW camp and told Baggett that a Japanese colonel said the pilot Owen Baggett had fired at had been thrown clear of his plane when it crashed and burned. He was found dead of a single bullet in his head. Colonel Melton intended to make an official report of the incident but lost his life when the ship on which he was being taken to Japan was sunk." Make your own judgment.
Great Good Fortune
In Nature (January 23, p. 271) you give a letter from Mr. Scouller describing an interesting case of a rainbow, due to the image of the sun in water, which, with the ordinary primary and secondary bows, make up (there being no secondary to that formed by the reflected sun) the three which he saw. Here is a short account of what I saw long ago, almost in prehistoric times, in Scotland, where such sights ought, according to your correspondent, to be very commonly seen. I may mention that I saw at the same time, lasting some five minutes, eight well-defined rainbows of one sort or another.
In 1841, during the time of a long vacation party, spent at Oban, I walked out with my brother to Dunstaffnage, and we were on the top of the Castle, somewhere between 3 and 4 p.m., on a day in the middle of August. Not a breath of wind, bright sun over, I think, Lismore Lighthouse, dusky clouds all over Ben Cruachan and Conoll Ferry; the sea in the bay (bounded by Dunstaffnage in the west) as smooth as a pond. Gradually there appeared before us the astonishing sight of the aforesaid eight distinct rainbows, viz. primary and secondary ordinary bows; primary and secondary bows by reflected sun; primary and secondary bows formed by light from the real sun reflected from the water after leaving certain drops; primary and secondary formed by light from the sun reflected at the water, and, after leaving certain other drops, again reflected at the water. I have called the latter four distinct bows, because, although they looked like reflections of a solid set of four arcs, they were really formed by means of drops distinct from those which helped to make the first four bows. I append a sketch of what I saw.
— Percival Frost, letter to Nature, Feb. 6, 1890
Reduced Housing
Inspired by Tennyson's Idylls of the King, Colorado miniaturist Elaine Diehl spent 13 years and 6,000 hours creating Astolat Castle, a 9-foot dollhouse weighing 600 pounds. The weathered copper roof covers 29 rooms and 10 adjoining areas, staircases, and hallways outfitted with parquet floors, framed mirrors, tapestries, gold chandeliers, oil paintings, and fireplaces. The seven levels range from a wine cellar and an armory in the basement to a "wizard's tower" outfitted with telescopes and zodiacal signs. The 1″ scale furnishings include seven periods and styles, including Spanish, Oriental, Tudor, 18th-century English, and Victorian.
"It's been a wonderful hobby," she told the Prescott, Ariz., Courier in 1990. "I used to not be able to wait to get home from work so I could play. The hours slipped by so easily, I would look at my watch and it would be three in the morning. … With this hobby, you can be in control of your own little world. In real life, you don't have all those choices available to you."
When Dutch army colonel J.W.C. van Gorkum died in 1880, he was laid to rest in a Protestant cemetery. His wife, Lady J.C.P.H. van Aefferden, knew that her Catholic faith destined her for a separate cemetery. So she contrived a solution: Before her death in 1888, she requested the burial plot abutting the colonel's and asked that the tombstones "join hands" over the wall — so that the two of them could hold hands through eternity.
The Long Way
On Sept. 19, 1927, a bedraggled woman arrived at a telegraph maintenance cabin in British Columbia. The operator, Bill Blackstock, fed her and asked where she was going. "Siberia," she said.
Her name was Lillian Alling, and she had crossed the continent on foot since entering Canada at Niagara Falls the previous year. She said she had emigrated from Russia to New York City, where she had worked as a maid but found herself unhappy there. She had decided to return to Russia, but realized it would be impossible to save enough for a steamer ticket. After consulting a map of North America in a public library, she had resolved to walk home.
Fearing for her safety in the Yukon winter, Provincial Police constable George Wyman contrived to charge her with vagrancy. "I was so surprised to see that woman there," he told journalist Donald Stainsby. "She was so scantily clad and had no firearms or anything to see her through that country. She was about five foot five and thin as a wisp. When I first saw her, she was wearing running shoes. She had a knapsack with a half-dozen sandwiches in it, some tea and some other odds and ends, a comb and personal effects, but no makeup. I had a time getting her name; she wasn't going to say anything to anybody. But I finally got it, and when she said she was going to Siberia, I couldn't say anything. I thought she was out of her mind."
Alling was released from prison by early November and resumed her journey. She reached Nome in 1929 and headed west, having covered more than 6,000 miles in less than three years. Her trail disappears there, but there's an intriguing postscript: When True West magazine published an article about Alling in 1972, an Arthur F. Elmore of Lincoln, Calif., wrote to say that a Russian friend of his had grown up across the Bering Strait from Wales, Alaska. In the autumn of 1930, while on an errand for his mother, he had noticed three officials questioning a woman accompanied by three Eskimos:
"He remembered the woman telling the officials she had come from America where she said she had been unable to make a living or make friends. … She said she had had to walk 'a terrible long way because no one would lift as much as a finger to help me in any way because they didn't want to — or couldn't understand — my feelings. I tried to make friends at first, but everyone wanted no part of me — as a foreigner — and that so deeply hurt me I couldn't bear it and so I began to walk. I knew it was far and it would be hard but I had to do it even if no one understood. And I did it!'"
(From Susan Smith-Josephy's monograph Lillian Alling: The Journey Home, 2011.)
On the evening of Aug. 12, 1964, 41-year-old California businessman Charles Ogle climbed into a four-seat Cessna 210 and took off from Oakland International Airport without filing a flight plan. He was never seen again.
Rescuers searched for Ogle for 60 hours before giving up.
"This has hung over me my whole life," Ogle's son William told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2007. "I don't remember the emotional impact because I was too young, but my teachers would complain to my mother because I would look out the windows all the time looking for his plane. I just thought he didn't come down yet."
Two things cannot occupy the same place at the same time. That seems reasonable. But:
A cat called Tibbles loses his tail at time t2. But before t2 somebody had picked out, identified, and distinguished from Tibbles a different and rather peculiar animate entity — namely, Tibbles minus Tibbles' tail. Let us suppose that he decided to call this entity 'Tib.' Suppose Tibbles was on the mat at time t1. Then both Tib and Tibbles were on the mat at t1. … But consider the position from t3 onward when, something the worse for wear, the cat is sitting on the mat without a tail. Is there one cat or are there two cats there? Tib is certainly sitting there. In a way nothing happened to him at all. But so is Tibbles. For Tibbles lost his tail, survived this experience, and then at t3 was sitting on the mat. And we agreed that Tib ≠ Tibbles. We can uphold the transitivity of identity, it seems, only if we stick by that decision at t3 and allow that at t3 there are two cats on the mat in exactly the same place at exactly the same time.
Tibbles and Tib were distinct material objects, but after the amputation they appear to occupy exactly the same space. Were we mistaken?
(From David Wiggins, "On Being in the Same Place at the Same Time," The Philosophical Review, 77:1 [January 1968], 90-95.)
Further trouble:
No cat has two tails.
Every cat has one tail more than no cat.
Therefore every cat has three tails.
Dreamed Up
In composing a state map of New York in the 1930s, the General Drafting Company wanted to be sure that competing mapmakers would not simply copy its work. So the company's founder, Otto G. Lindberg, and his assistant, Ernest Alpers, scrambled their initials and placed the fictional town of Agloe at the intersection of two dirt roads in the Catskills north of Roscoe.
Several years later, they discovered Agloe on a Rand McNally map and confronted their competitor. But Rand was innocent: It had got the name from the county government, which had taken it from the Agloe General Store, which now occupied the intersection. The store had taken the name from a map by Esso, which had (apparently) copied it from Lindberg's map. Agloe had somehow clambered from imagination into reality.
Similarly, in 2001 editors placed a fake word in the New Oxford American Dictionary as a trap for other lexicographers who might steal their material. Fittingly, the word was esquivalience, "the willful avoidance of one's official responsibilities; the shirking of duties."
Sure enough, the word turned up at Dictionary.com (it's since been taken down), citing Webster's New Millennium Dictionary.
And as with Agloe, the invention has taken on a life of its own. NOAD editor Christine Lindberg, who coined esquivalience, told the Chicago Tribune that she finds herself using it regularly. "I especially like the critical, judgmental tone I can get out of it: 'Those esquivalient little wretches.' Sounds literate and nasty all in one breath. I like that."
Costa Rica's alligator bug, Fulgora laternaria, bears a protuberance that looks remarkably like a caiman's head — a feature that may make a hungry bird think twice.
The leaf insects of Southeast Asia, below, so convincingly mimic living leaves that they even bear "bite marks." This fooled Magellan's companion Antonio Pigafetta, who encountered them in the Philippines in 1521:
In this island are also found certain trees, the leaves of which, when they fall, are animated, and walk. They are like the leaves of the mulberry tree, but not so long; they have the leaf stalk short and pointed, and near the leaf stalk they have on each side two feet. If they are touched they escape, but if crushed they do not give out blood. I kept one for nine days in a box. When I opened it the leaf went round the box. I believe they live upon air.
The Ship of Theseus
Suppose we have a complete wooden ship, and one day we replace one of its wooden planks with an aluminum one. Most people would agree that the ship survives this operation; that is to say, its identity remains unchanged. But suppose that we then replace a second plank, and then a third, until our wooden ship is made entirely of aluminum. Is this the same ship that we started with? If not, when did it change?
Thomas Hobbes adds a wrinkle: Suppose that, as we did all this refurbishing, someone had gathered up all the discarded wooden planks and used them to assemble a second ship. What are we to make of this? "This, without doubt, had also been the same numerical ship with that which was at the beginning; and so there would have been two ships numerically the same, which is absurd."
And philosopher Roderick Chisholm adds another: "Let us suppose that the captain of the original ship had solemnly taken the vow that, if his ship were ever to go down, he would go down with it. What, now, if the two ships collide at sea and he sees them start to sink together? Where does his duty lie — with the aluminum ship or with the reassembled wooden ship?"
Peripatetic Pussycats
When Ernest Shackleton set out for Antarctica in 1914, his carpenter, Harry "Chippy" McNish, brought along a tabby who was quickly named "Mrs. Chippy," though he proved to be a male. When the Endurance was crushed by pack ice, Shackleton ordered the "weakling" cat to be shot, a decision for which McNish never forgave him. Cat and carpenter were reunited in 2004, when a life-size bronze statue of Mrs. Chippy was added to McNish's grave in Wellington.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson's 1913 arctic expedition ended in disaster when the main vessel sank, but ship's kitten Nigeraurak ("little black one") was lugged safely home in a sack, "the only member of the expedition to survive the whole affair sleek and unscathed."
And Matthew Flinders' cat Trim accompanied him on several adventures, including the circumnavigation of Australia, a shipwreck in 1803, and imprisonment in Mauritius during the return to England. Today Sydney's Mitchell Library bears a statue of the cat (below), with a plaque quoting Flinders' own words:
The best and most illustrious of his race
The most affectionate of friends,
faithful of servants,
and best of creatures
He made the tour of the globe, and a voyage to Australia,
which he circumnavigated, and was ever the
delight and pleasure of his fellow voyagers.
Standing Order
On June 1, 1873, during a visit to New College, Oxford, South Carolina planter William Heyward Trapier asked for a mint julep, "to the utter bewilderment of the butler," according to the Oxford Companion to the Year.
When his hosts confessed their ignorance of the American drink, Trapier gave them his family recipe, a silver pot in which to share it, and instructions to prepare it every year on the anniversary of his visit. Thereafter it became a college tradition to substitute juleps for the after-dinner port on June 1 each year, and to leave a place empty for Trapier.
This continued for a century, but apparently the tradition died out during World War II. But there's good news — Oxford's student newspaper now says that the college has approved a Mint Julep Quartermaster to start it up again.
Here's the recipe that Trapier gave to the college, according to the Oxford Times:
- Crush two sprigs of mint and half a teaspoon of sugar in the bottom of a tall glass.
- Add two lumps of ice and cover with Bourbon whiskey.
- Fill the glass with cracked ice and chill for several hours before drinking.
Oxfordshire's annual stag hunt took a strange turn in 1819:
Dec. 21, being St. Thomas's Day, as usual, a stag was turned out from Blenheim Park, the property of his Grace, the Duke of Marlborough. It directed its course towards Wickham; from thence it took the high road and proceeded to Oxford; and then formed one of the most beautiful and picturesque sights that can be imagined. The stag, and dogs in close pursuit, followed by a great number of well-known and experienced sportsmen, proceeded up the High-street, as far as Brazenose College; when, to the no small astonishment of hundreds of spectators, the stag took refuge in the chapel, during divine service; where it was killed, sans ceremonie, by the eager dogs.
From The Gentleman's Magazine, January 1820.
The Paradox of Suspense
Psycho is certainly suspenseful on the first viewing. But why does it remain so on the second?
"How can there be suspense if we already know how things will turn out?" asks University of Michigan philosopher Kendall Walton. "Why, for example, should Tom and Becky's plight concern or even interest a reader who knows, from reading the novel previously, that eventually they will escape from the cave? One might have supposed that, once we have experienced a work often enough to learn thoroughly the relevant features of the plot, it would lose its capacity to create suspense, and that future readings or viewings of it would lack the excitement of the first one. But this frequently is not what happens."
The paradox extends to music. Why does a crescendo continue to "work" on repeated listenings? Why does it still move us?
(Kendall Walton, "Fearing Fictions," The Journal of Philosophy 75:1 [January 1978], 26)
Deal's a Deal
Between 1925 and 1963, Burma-Shave billboards were ubiquitous on American highways. Over the course of 18 seconds a motorist would pass six successive red and white signs that formed a rhymed verse:
At its peak the campaign had 40,000 signs posted between Maine and Texas. The jingles were clearly whimsical, but anything that popular invites some smart-alecks:
When this poem was posted, "scores of fenders of notable decrepitude arrived at the plant by parcel post and express," noted Frank Rowsome Jr. in his 1965 history of the campaign, The Verse by the Side of the Road. "Many enterprising people scavenged Minnesota junkyards, triumphantly bearing off rusty horrors that they lugged to the Burma-Shave offices." Each was gamely honored with a free jar of shaving cream, but this only made things worse:
At this Arliss "Frenchy" French, manager of a Red Owl supermarket in Appleton, Wis., produced 900 empty containers and demanded to be sent to Mars. Burma-Shave sent general manager Ralph Getchman to Appleton, where he found that French had heaped the jars in a huge pile in his store and taken out a full-page newspaper ad reading SEND FRENCHY TO MARS! After some bewildered havering, the company struck a deal with Red Owl's publicist — they sent French and his wife to Moers, Germany. "The Frenches had a marvelous time," remembered Burma-Shave president Leonard Odell. "We still get Christmas cards from them."
A lump of clay exists on Monday. On Tuesday it's fashioned into a statue. Are the lump and the statue the same thing? It would appear not: The statue didn't exist on Monday, and it wouldn't survive being squashed, but the lump did and would. But if the lump and the statue are two different material objects, how can they coincide? How can two things exist in the same place at the same time?
Ghosts of Scotland
One last striking story about bird mimicry:
I was in the Outer Hebrides and I came across an abandoned derelict croft. It had no roof, but very substantial walls and in the gaps between the stonework was a starlings' nest. I could hear the birds inside, and eventually one of the starlings came to defend its territory. I heard straight away that it wasn't just the usual rambling song. It started to mimic a Corncrake, a species that is very rare in mainland Britain. It did this bird's buzzing repetitive song, but then it immediately went into other sounds that seemed familiar and had a strong rhythm to them. As I was listening I was looking around and could see the remnants of farm machinery, including an ancient tractor that had not moved for 20-30 years. I realised this bird was singing the song of some of this machinery. It was singing the song of a mechanical pump that had obviously been active around this farm, and used by the people who had lived here.
I wasn't listening to the same starling that heard these original sounds. These copied sounds are usually passed on from parents or neighbouring birds so that a young bird absorbs and then duplicates them. The strange thing was that I was recording the sounds in what had been somebody's living room, a place that had obviously been full of the conversations of family life over generations and which had passed into history. Yet the birds had returned and taken it back — claimed this space and these rocks — and were singing their own song. And they were singing the songs that were around when the people were here.
— Chris Watson of Tyne and Wear, U.K., quoted in Mark Cocker's Birds & People, 2013

On Sept. 29, 1940, two Avro Anson training aircraft took off from a Royal Australian Air Force base near Wagga Wagga for a cross-country exercise over New South Wales. They were making a banking turn over Brocklesby when pilot Leonard Fuller lost sight of Jack Hewson's plane beneath him, and the two collided with a "grinding crunch of metal and tearing of fabric."
To his horror, Fuller found that the planes were now locked together. His own engines had been knocked out by the collision, but Hewson's were still functioning, and he could still manipulate his own ailerons and flaps, so he found he could control the lumbering pair as one aircraft.
After the crew of the lower plane had bailed out, along with his own navigator, Fuller flew an additional five miles and made an emergency landing in a paddock, where he slid 200 yards to a safe stop. "I did everything we've been told to do in a forced landing," he told air accident inspector Arthur Murphy. "Land as close as possible to habitation or a farmhouse and, if possible, land into the wind. I did all that. There's the farmhouse, and I did a couple of circuits and landed into the wind. She was pretty heavy on the controls, though."
Fuller was credited with saving £40,000 worth of military hardware and preventing any damage or injury in Brocklesby, and his plane was even returned to service. He died four years later in a road accident.
On Feb. 6, 1898, a worker preparing the front page of the New York Times added 1 to that day's issue number, 14,499, and got 15,000.
Amazingly, no one caught the error until 1999, when 24-year-old news assistant Aaron Donovan tallied the dates since the paper's founding in 1851 and found that the modern issue number was 500 too high.
So on Jan. 1, 2000, the paper turned back the clock, reverting from 51,753 to 51,254.
"There is something that appeals to me about the way the issue number marks the passage of time across decades and centuries," Donovan wrote in a memo. "It has been steadily climbing for longer than anyone who has ever glanced at it has been alive. The 19th-century newsboy hawking papers in a snowy Union Square is in some minute way bound by the issue number to the Seattle advertising executive reading the paper with her feet propped up on the desk."

Silverton Bobbie
In 1923, the Brazier family traveled from Oregon to Indiana, bringing their 2-year-old collie/shepherd mix, Bobbie. They were separated in Wolcott, Ind., when Bobbie was chased off by a group of local dogs, and after three weeks the family reluctantly returned to Oregon.
Exactly six months later, the family's youngest daughter was walking down a Silverton street when she recognized a bedraggled dog. At her voice he "fairly flew at Nova, leaping up again and again to cover her face with kisses and making half-strangled, sobbing sounds of relief and delight as if he could hardly voice his wordless joy."
He had traveled more than 2,500 miles. He was identified by three scars, and by letters the family later received from people who had housed and fed him along the way. The "wonder dog" received national publicity, and well-wishers gave him a jewel-studded harness, a silver collar, keys to various cities, and "a miniature bungalow, which weighed about nine hundred pounds, with eight windows curtained with silk." He died in 1927, and Rin Tin Tin laid a wreath on his grave.
Pitching In
At a timber-mill in the Powelltown district (Victoria) it is customary to blow three blasts of the whistle to indicate an accident and six blasts to notify a fatality. One day the six blasts echoed about the hills and men ran from all directions to the mill. But there was no fatality; the 'whistle' was produced by a Lyrebird, which had heard the three blasts with some frequency, and, in imitating them, had added three more for good measure. That episode ranks with one related by Mervyn Bill, a forest surveyor, who has written that when he was camped at Hell's Gates (Victoria), he was annoyed to see, through the theodolite telescope, his men doing certain field operations without the usual instructions. The fact became revealed, subsequently, that they had obeyed 'instructions' from a Lyrebird in an adjacent gully, which faultlessly imitated the surveyor's shrill, staccato code of signals.

So if I buy a GTX 280, my 8800gt will do the physics, on a non-SLI board?

Re: So if I buy a GTX 280, my 8800gt will do the physics, on a non-SLI board?
Yeah it's kind of hokey they way you have to do it in Vista. From the article DVS linked:
Now there's a thing you will need to be aware of in the Multi GPU [non-SLI] mode, it's actually a Vista limitation but a second monitor must be attached to enable PhysX running on the second GeForce GPU. You must extend your Windows Vista desktop onto that monitor.
To bypass that issue, most monitors have a standard VGA and a DVI connector, right? Just use both. This limitation is related to the Windows Vista display driver model (WDDM). This limitation does not exist in Windows XP. In NVIDIA's upcoming drivers, they will be offering a workaround to improve the experience for Windows Vista users.
With a single card or two cards in SLI mode you will not have this problem.

I chose to work with PwC because of the opportunities to discover and carve out my own career path. I also wanted to work for an organization with offices around the world so that I could have the opportunity to take advantage of international work placements.
For me, what truly differentiates PwC is its unique culture of support with an emphasis on teamwork, collaboration and professional growth - which are important to me as I grow my career.
I'm really new to PwC, but in that time, I've had the opportunity to invest myself in a firm that is openly willing to invest in me.

Reporting help from Ashley Rodrigue, Northshore Bureau Chief
COVINGTON, La. -- The brother of St Tammany Parish District Attorney Walter Reed flashed a DA's office badge Sunday night to try and keep a 'very intoxicated' woman out of trouble, according to Covington Police Chief Tim Lentz.
The incident began at the Chimes restaurant in Covington, where police say they were called to respond to reports that a woman had become belligerent and had to be physically removed from the restaurant. According to police, witnesses told them Reed's brother, Richard, helped the woman out of the restaurant and put her in his grey Honda Accord, pulling out of the parking lot as police arrived.
Police say they pulled over the Accord in the parking lot of the Big Lots store on Hwy 190 in Covington, across the street from the Chimes. Richard Reed was driving.
Officers said Reed 'produced a wallet badge from the district attorney's office' to try and keep the girl from getting arrested. Lentz said officers ignored the badge and removed her from the vehicle. Once getting her back to the Covington Police station, officers called an ambulance to check on her because she was 'extremely, extremely' intoxicated.
The staff at the Chimes didn't want to press charges against the woman, but Lentz said his officers determined that she should be issued a citation for public intoxication.
Covington Police did not investigate Richard Reed for any wrongdoing. Lentz did say it is uncommon for one of his officers to encounter a DA's office badge these days.
A spokesman for Walter Reed said the badge was an honorary badge that Richard had been given many years ago. Richard Reed returned his honorary badge after this past weekend.
'Three decades ago, after winning his first election, Mr. Reed handed out a few honorary badges as a keepsake. To our knowledge, there has not been any incidents regarding these honorary badges. The badges are strictly honorary and carry no weight of the law behind them. Thirty years later, Mr. Reed does not recall who received the badges,' said Reed's spokesman Morgan Stewart in a written statement.
Stewart said he believed that the other honorary badge recipients have been asked by Walter Reed to return them to the DA's office in recent days, but he couldn't say who all had them.
Richard Reed recently resigned from his position at St Tammany Parish hospital after questions from the media about whether he was getting special treatment because his brother, Walter Reed, worked with the hospital's governing board. He also works at a St Tammany funeral home.
Richard had been working full-time as a mail room clerk and for other departments, according to a hospital spokesperson. His predecessor only held the mail room position part-time, something revealed in a recent Eyewitness Investigation.
Walter Reed also resigned his position as special counsel to the hospital board after questions about whether Reed was supposed to be getting paid in his personal capacity as an attorney, or whether the hospital had a contract with the St Tammany DA's office. The hospital released documents showing resolutions passed that established the relationship with the DA's office, not Reed personally.
A spokesman hired by Reed then countered that Reed believed he was hired in his capacity as a private attorney in a verbal agreement with a now-deceased hospital board chairman.

Sometimes taxonomists create new names for groups that already have a name. They may do this because they are unaware of the original name, or they may think the organism before them belongs to a different group when in fact it does not. If two or more names are found to apply to the same group, they are considered synonyms. In most cases, the first name takes priority and is considered to be the valid or accepted name. However, there can be exceptions, and it's not always easy to determine which of a series of synonyms should be considered valid or accepted. Here we list the synonyms provided to EOL by our classification partners. We also include other versions of the name that most likely refer to the same group, for example, misspellings in the literature or different variations of the authorship associated with the name.

Boot camp: OSX not booting
Hi all,
A friend has asked me to help with his computer - he has a Macbook Pro, and the issue is that OSX isn't booting, while his Windows 7 is.
We get the boot screen, allowing us to select either Windows or "HDD", the latter pertaining to the OSX installation.
Upon clicking it, the loading screen comes up, with the spinning grey circle...but it doesn't boot. I've tried booting in safe mode, and in this instance I can get the booting bar...but it fills to only about 70% before disappearing, leaving me with the same problem as before.
He hasn't used the OSX installation, so we're not opposed to obliterating it at all....my thoughts were to just reinstall OSX, or simply...install OSX on that partition - if that's quite straightforward?
Essentially, I want to do this without messing up the Windows installation, which while we have backed it up, we don't have the disc for.
17" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD
20" Apple Cinema Display
External 500GB Maxtor 3200 USB HDD
iPhone 4 16GB (O2 UK)
|Sep 19, 2010, 07:15 AM
I've had this exact some problem last year. I discovered that this kept on happening to me because the 3G broadband USB dongle that I had wasn't compatible with Snow Leopard and kept corrupting something.
I fixed this problem by inserting my installation disc of OS X, running the installation as normal (selecting the OS X partition that I already had to install on), the installation ran and everything was back up to normal as if nothing happened. All of my applications and documents were still where they were intact. And if left my Windows 7 partition untouched.
