The Old Mill, early 1900s
Beginning this week, we will feature a biweekly column called A Little Piece of History by local history enthusiast Craig Kumerfield. Each entry will be short and most entries will be accompanied by one or two historic photos.
In 1871, Peter Morse, a weary, lone traveler on horseback from Osage, Iowa, saw a river winding into the distance through an area marked by red cliffs (the Dells). The following year, Morse returned to the area with two experienced mill men, Dennis and Frank Rice. They built a dam and saw mill, but because there weren't sufficient trees in the area at that time, they scrapped the saw mill idea and built a flouring mill instead. The mills original stone and wheels can still be seen at the west end of the bike trail.

Stefanie Katzinger is a Vienna native though most of her photography work comes by way of New York City and San Francisco. She uses a simple point and shoot camera to try to capture the spirit of the cities she visits, exploring the weird, seedy underbellies of these metropolitan meccas to bring us photographic proof. Though she studied English Literature in school, Katzinger is now pursuing her passion for film photography full-time.

Barclay Cottage Bed and Breakfast
Built in 1895 and welcoming guests since 1917, Barclay Cottage is one of the oldest continuously operating lodging facilities in Virginia. The warmth of this historic inn with the coziness of home, provides a refreshing alternative to high-rise hotel/motel accommodations. Antiques high-quality bedding, thirsty towels and luxurious robes await guests in each room.
Enjoy a sumptuous gourmet breakfast including fruits, bagoods and hot entree served in the Great Room each morning. Then head for the beach with the provided beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and boogie boards.
Later, kick back in a rocker on one of the wraparound verandas perhaps while sipping a glass of wine from the Barclay Cottage cellar. In the summer, the second floor porch is a great place to enjoy the twice a week fireworks over the water.
In cooler weather, after a hearty breakfast, enjoy a day of whale-watching with scientists from the Virginia Marine Science Museum, or explore the many museums and shops in the area. Bike riding (we have them for your use), hiking, and beach combing are also possibilities as is climbing the first lighthouse commissioned by the U.S. Government.
Of course, the fish are biting at every time of year, and the Virginia Beach Fishing Center runs party boats and charters all year. Or catch your limit from the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier only 3 blocks away.
We will be happy to wrap and freeze your catch to take home.
Return to the cottage for hot chocolate, tea or mulled cider while deciding which of the 20 restaurants within walking distance to patronize (anything from a local pizza joint to 4 diamond elegance) and whether to enjoy a play, concert, the ballet or opera. Alternatively, you can always order in and pop a DVD in the player or see what's on cable on the large TV in the Great Room.
No matter the weather or the time of year, your Barclay Cottage"place at the beach" has something to offer everyone.

Grass: America's Largest Irrigated Crop
Each year, we drench our lawns with enough water to fill the Chesapeake Bay! That makes grass – not corn – America's largest irrigated crop. Our nation's lawns now cover an area larger than New York State and each year, we use about 2.4 million metric tons of fertilizer just to maintain them. When there is too much fertilizer on our lawns, essential nutrients are easily washed away by sprinklers and rainstorms. When these nutrients enter storm drains and water bodies, they often become one of the most harmful sources of water pollution in the United States.
Viewer Tip: Luckily, you can address this problem simply by watering your lawn in different ways. Here are two simple steps you can follow to save money, conserve water and protect water quality.
- Use a Soaker Hose – these hoses are lined with thousands of tiny holes, allowing them to leach water into the soil at a slower rate than a normal hose or sprinkler.
- Use a Rain Barrel – capture and save some of that free rainwater and use to water your lawn or garden later. Remember to check local regulations about rain water collection before installing a barrel.

From the Labs: Materials
New publications, experiments and breakthroughs in materials–and what they mean.
Power pad: Matted carbon nanotubes, shown here in a micrograph, form an energy-storing coating on ordinary paper.
Paper Battery
A dip in nanotube ink turns office paper into an electrode
Source: "Highly conductive paper for energy-storage devices"
Yi Cui et al.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 106: 21490-21494
Results: Office paper dipped in carbon-nanotube ink becomes a strong, flexible, highly conductive material that can be incorporated into lightweight batteries (where it serves as a conductive layer) or high-energy capacitors called ultracapacitors (where it serves as an electrode). Used in ultracapacitors, the material stored more energy than previous electrode materials.
Why it matters: It's already possible to print lightweight circuits and screens for electronics like e-readers, but conventional batteries still weigh them down. Carbon nanotubes are a promising material because they are strong, conductive, and light, and they can store a large amount of energy–a quality that helps portable electronics run longer between charges.
Methods: Researchers made the ink by mixing carbon nanotubes in water with a surfactant, a chemical that keeps them from clumping together. Paper dipped in this ink soaks up nanotubes like a sponge. After the paper dried, the researchers confirmed the resilience of the material by scratching and rolling it. Then they tested its performance in energy storage devices.
Next steps: The researchers will try to improve the performance of the devices by changing the formulation of the ink.

Lightening up the darkness in 'Underneath the Lintel' and 'Grand Guignol'
THEATER Just last night a cordial campfire conversation with a hobgoblin and a menorah tumbled precipitously from the obscenity of rents in the city to the cold hard facts of our existence on this planet. Halloween was not yet over, and the really scary stuff had already returned.
You don't have to be a librarian to have gathered something of the unlikeness, the arbitrariness, the inconsequence of an individual life measured against the eons of time and the vastness of space — but let's say you are a librarian. What would get under your skin more than this? Maybe one thing: the fact that in addition to the obvious indifference of the universe, existence comes with the seemingly unnecessary cruelty visited on us by our fellow human beings.
Maybe one more thing, too: a library book returned 113 years overdue.
Both of these unpalatable situations gnaw at the bookish protagonist in Glen Berger's 2001 play, Underneath the Lintel, currently enjoying a revival courtesy of American Conservatory Theater. Our protagonist, the play's sole character, is a garrulous but faintly troubled librarian from Holland (played by an endearingly geeky David Strathairn, in trim graying beard and neat but comfy wool suit). In a makeshift lecture in an old rented theater, the librarian-turned-sleuth presents his remarkable findings concerning the possible reality behind an ancient myth. Along the way, we discover a gradual dovetailing of his own increasingly unmoored career and that of his subject: the fabled Wandering Jew, condemned to bear silent witness to history after a show of callousness before a desperate stranger at his door (who turned out to be Christ on the march to Golgotha, wouldn't you know it).
The play — whose title refers to the upper portion of a doorway, the regretful place from which an ancient cobbler turned his back on his fellow man and our modern-day librarian dismissed the only woman he ever loved — works a tension between competing frameworks. Bounded by our little lives with their precious but small concerns, the play suggests, we too easily miss the bigger picture and stumble accordingly. But even when confronted with the worst of fate, the baleful immensity of history, or our own actions, we also carry on despite all the universe may throw at us.
Of course, the Geary stage is almost as vast as the aforementioned universe. Director Carey Perloff and her actor work hard to see this pocket-sized piece expand as much as possible to fill it. Strathairn's fastidious and childlike librarian moves nervously, enthusiastically around the stage, scaling a tall freestanding ladder one moment, rummaging around a set of files the next, or stalking the second-tier storage area at the back of scenic designer Nina Ball's atmospherically dingy, drippy, haze-filled bric-a-brac set.
The only time this nervous energy seems to go too far is in the final moment, when the librarian exits the stage in an awkward physical underscoring of a key line, wandering out who-knows-where. But Berger's charming mystery, while ultimately affirming, has a haunted, melancholy streak running through it — a creeping pessimism at the edge of the firelight that is its most provoking aspect, and saves it from being purely sentimental.
The father of Paris's Théâtre du Grand Guignol, French playwright Oscar Méténier (1859–1913), rests in pieces — or at least the pieces he left for the stage; naturalistic horror plays that were themselves full of body parts strewn hither and thither. Thither, in this case, has been renamed "the splatter zone" for playwright Carl Grose and director Mitchell Altieri's macabre comedy homage to the legendary Parisian theater and genre (a specialty of local company Thrillpeddlers, whose own "Shocktoberfest" is also up and running not far away).

A TRUE artist. Sad to see him go.
My Hero since the early 60's. Of all the "Muscle Cars", there was only one true "High Performance" car, The Shelby Cobra SC. Mr Shelby and his cars brought honor and true American Pride to the world automotive community. Long Live Carroll Shelby.
Carroll Shelby - History has been written, his creations will be admired and driven by generations to come.
I will always remember the first time I saw an original AC Cobra, at seven years old it was impressive. And I wanted one, then the Mustang GT-350 reared it's beautiful head. The name Carroll Shelby has forever been burnt into automotive history, he is our very own answer to Enzo Ferrari and should be held in the highest of regards when it comes to his accomplishments and achievements. RIP Carroll Shelby, you will be missed by this young kid at heart
Shelby demonstrated the life long passionate desire to capitalize his connections, beginning as a chicken farmer to a creative automotive builder legend.
: (
Truly a sad day. His Daytona is probably the most stunning car ever made.
He lived his dream, got paid well for it, had a long life and had endless grateful admirers.
Thank you Mr. Shelby.
When I first saw the AC Cobra race at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin as a teenager I fell in love with this beautiful machine. Mr. Shelby and all of his automotive creations will live on forever even though he is gone, he will never be forgotten. Thank you Mr. Shelby and RIP. I hope to own someday that new 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra as a tribute to you!
A couple of notable accomplishments among many not mentioned: 1. He turned the Sunbeam Alpine into the Sunbeam Tiger by dropping a small block Ford V-8 under the bonnet. This was great until Sunbeam was bought by Chrysler, 2. His Chili Mix recipe is a winter time staple in our house!
Carroll changed my life forever. What he brought to the world of racing changed it forever. I bought a Shelby Cobra back in the day and have never or every will let it go. Also for the enthusiast there is a site fordimages.com that is offering premium never before seen photos of Shelby racing, some even signed prints. I got a promotion in an email. R.I.P. Carroll, you will be missed.
This Is It.
This is it.

Human RightsFull-time Faculty
In recent years, the field of international human rights has emerged as an increasingly important area of legal study and practice. The study of international human rights examines the international legal frameworks that both define countries' obligations to protect the human rights of their own citizens and provide for the enforcement of those rights. As the world becomes more interconnected and threats to human rights more complex and diverse, knowledge about international legal norms and institutions has become critical to a full understanding of the ways in which the law restrains, obligates, and empowers states in their pursuit of political and economic ends. Thus, international human rights law is relevant to the practice areas as diverse as civil rights, immigration, employment and labor law, corporate transactions, international trade, and criminal law, among others.
The courses in this area fall into two categories, depending upon their level of generality. The first category includes the survey course in International Human Rights that is designed to give students an overview of the basic sources of international human rights including the United Nations Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, among others. The second category of courses in international human rights includes the more specialized courses defined by geography or subtopic. For many of these courses, the basic human rights course is not a prerequisite; however, students will find it helpful to have taken the basic course first. In addition, students who are interested in pursuing a practice that includes international human rights work should take the basic course in public international law and a course in comparative law.

DUT campus strike dispute rages onlineComment on this story
Durban - An online war of words has been raging between students over the Durban University of Technology strike, amid claims of hate speech and racism.
Many angry students have taken to the student representative council's (SRC's) Facebook page to voice dissatisfaction at the closing and disruption of classes since January during protests about student funding.
On the other hand, many other equally angry students have supported the SRC's demands and protest action.
The DUT suspended the SRC leadership last week after an illegal protest that disrupted classes for two days.
There have been threatening posts directed at DUT rector Professor Ahmed Bawa and others, calling on self-funded students to get out of DUT – "the land of black people with no money to study" – and go to institutions where they would not be interrupted by strikes.
Bawa said staff, parents and students had complained of comments made on Facebook.
"Parents and students sent us screenshots of the offensive posts. We were shocked by the comments online, especially the posts that promoted hate speech, incited violence and the comments that were clearly racist," said Bawa this week.
"The post that called on students to 'bring petrol on to campus and then burn the place down' was extremely disturbing. The racist attacks must be condemned in the strongest manner, and DUT views these threats very seriously. We will be laying a charge with the relevant authorities," he said.
One angry student, who wrote to the Daily News and asked to remain anonymous, said she had been "chased out of class and out of the building by the SRC".
She said that on Monday last week her lecturer had to lock his students in the lecture room for their own safety.
"We sat in silence waiting for them to leave. We could hear them intimidating other students in the other lecture rooms. They were even chasing the lab technicians out of their offices," she said.
"In the first strike at the beginning of the year, they were throwing stones at students. They are single-minded and against anyone who doesn't have the same beliefs as them… We are the victims. We are the ones being intimidated, being forced to leave class, being shot at," she said.
The student said she was afraid as she did not know when the violence might erupt.
She accused the SA Students' Congress-led SRC of oppressing students. "The SRC and Sasco are denying us education. They claim to be for the students, but as a student they are against me," she said.
Suspended DUT SRC president, Ayanda Ngidi, distanced the SRC from the posts.
"We can't find the person who has been uploading these posts on Facebook," he said.
Ngidi said "nobody wants to burn" anything at the institution, and he denied that students were being intimidated.
"Our gripe has been with the security guards, never with other students. We deny we have violently distracted classes – we asked students to peacefully join us in our fight for free education," he said.
Isaac Mangena, a Human Rights Commission spokesman, said anyone who wanted to lay a complaint could approach the provincial offices.

Picture Of Upper East Side Madam With Former NYPD Employee Surprises Law Enforcement
If the book of choice for Upper East Side mothers is the salacious Fifty Shades of Grey -- now with its very own New York Times feature -- perhaps the Upper East Side story that's grabbing headlines should be Fifty Shades of Gristina. Anna Gristina, that is, the 44-year-old madam who ran a brothel out of an apartment in that neighborhood, and, as we've previously noted, had some notable friends. And the story keeps developing. Now, attention is focused on Gristina's connections to law enforcement officials, after a red flag went up following a picture in Friday's New York Post of Gristina with a bodyguard who was a former NYPD second-grade detective. The man, Sylvan "Sly" Francis, also had worked in the Manhattan DA's office.
The photo was taken in 2001 when Francis was serving as her bodyguard. The Post reports that at the time he was also serving the district attorney. He retired from the NYPD in 2002, according to the Post.
The New York Times City Room said in a post yesterday the photo sent a "shiver of recognition through the ranks of law enforcement:"
Any reasons for the close proximity of Ms. Gristina and the man remained immediately unclear on Friday. And Mr. Francis, on a Facebook page on which he listed himself as having "worked at" the New York Police Department, did nothing to shed light on how he knew Ms. Gristina or why he was seated with her.
"Nice photo of me from back in the day," was a comment posted on the page along with a link to the tabloid article and its photo. A little while later, a person commented on the posting, writing, "I knew it was you fredo ... lol."
Nice Godfather reference. You broke my heart.
A Post story today explains that the DA's office had no idea that Francis was connected to Gristina:
"They just found out about this," said a law-enforcement source.
The source said prosecutors are in "circle-the-wagons" mode as they probe Francis' relationship with the woman they are accusing of running a 15-year escort service for the rich and famous.
"Now they're going to go back and look at his record when he was working in the office," the source said.
Apparently, Francis worked in a different part of the DA's office than the one investigating Gristina. The Times reports that he worked in the Special Prosecutions bureau.
We've sent Facebook message to Francis through a page that lists him as having worked at "Nypd." We'll update if we hear back.
Meanwhile, in another element of the Gristina scandal, the Post reports Saturday that a woman who allegedly collaborated with Gristina, 30-year-old Brooklynite Jaynie May Baker, "is negotiating possibly turning herself in as early as next week."
Baker has been indicted. She has also been on vacation.

Distraction is one of the most underappreciated and pervasive threats to an individual's financial portfolio. Investors, by nature, are curious. We are seekers and explorers - once of trade routes, distant shores and unmapped lands, now of nanotechnologies, biochemical formulations and energy invention.
As investors, the promise of "new" or "hot" is often too much to resist. Want an example? A simple Google search of "Next Big Thing in Investing" generates 23 million results. Ask financial advisers what's the most common phone call they receive throughout the year and it's inevitably, "So, what do you think about ... ?"
This month it was the Twitter IPO (initial public offering). Last year it was Facebook and precious metals. Last decade was Petfoods.com and mortgage-backed securities, and last century was airline stocks. We all want The Next Big Thing. But is chasing this elusive white whale the best strategy for your investment portfolio?
A lesson in patience from golden retrievers
A remarkable example of overcoming instinct and curiosity in favor of long-term success can be found in the training of service dogs. Every year, all across the country, thousands of golden retriever and Labrador puppies begin the process of becoming a lifetime companion capable of unwavering dedication to the task at hand.
All the dogs are cute and adorable, but many flunk out because they lack the necessary temperament, consistency and focus. They aren't bad dogs - they just get too distracted by the world around them.
The final exam for service dogs offers a valuable lesson for today's investors. After months and months of instruction and reinforcement, the trainers bring the dogs into a gymnasium. Each young dog is instructed to sit and stay while a dozen bunnies are released into the room.
We know the dogs want to give chase - they are practically put on this Earth to do exactly that. But their training has taught them a greater reward awaits should they remain patient and ignore Mr. Cottontail. If they can disregard the momentary excitement, they'll graduate.
Investing opportunities are not instant wealth
Despite our cautions and skepticism of The Next Big Thing, this doesn't mean ignoring solid investment opportunities as they arise over your lifetime. Good companies are created every month. Little businesses grow up every year. Microsoft was once a couple of wild-haired kids playing with electrical wires in the garage. Wal-Mart started as a five-and-dime general store on a town square in Bentonville, Ark.
While the U.S. economy certainly has its share of challenges, no country has a better track record of creating successful businesses, industries and opportunities.
Perhaps the most recent example is advances in the extraction of natural gas and our pending energy independence. Domestically sourced energy - while not perfect in cost, effect or impact - has vast economic potential.
But no matter its initial luster, don't be blinded by its ability to create instant wealth or an ultimate windfall. That's not investing at all - that's gambling.
Look long-term: Does this fit in with an overall plan?
The key element when evaluating any new investment opportunity is understanding how it plays in the context of your overall plan.
There will always be times when your urge is to run to "new" and "hot." The problem with that strategy is pulling your money from "proven" and "profitable."
Times like these are a prime example of why you should have a financial plan that carefully constructs your asset allocations to meet your individual long-term financial goals. ⬛

As a nation, we are entering a Silver Age. Courtesy of modern medicine, more of us are living longer. At one level, this is a huge achievement.
But it will also ask questions of how we organise our society. Today's newspapers, drawing on a new report into the health of the UK's ageing population, warn of a "demographic timebomb", with an older and sicker population exerting an ever larger strain on public resources.
In its publication 'Ready for Ageing?', a House of Lords Committee advises that "without urgent action this great boon could turn into a series of miserable crises". The NHS is helping people to extend their life expectancy, but this has only resulted in increased pressure on its services.
Fewer diseases are fatal, and the health service must treat people who present with complex, chronic illnesses – whether it's diabetes or dementia. Meanwhile our social care system, which attends to those people who can no longer look after themselves, is struggling to meet demand.
Our society is growing older…
The 'Ready for Ageing?' report provides a range of statistics on life-expectancy. Perhaps most notably it suggests that, compared to 2010, in 2030 there will be 51% more people aged 65 and over in England. Meanwhile, the number of people aged 85 plus will double.
These figures originate with the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which has generated population projections from 2010 data. The increase in the geriatric population is partly due to an increase in life expectancy. By 2030, it will be 88 years for men (78 years now) and just over 91 years for women (82 years now).
However, it can also be explained by a spike in the birth rate back in the 1950s. It is this 'baby boomer' generation that is now approaching old age.
Speaking on Radio 4's Today programme, Lord Filkin, Chair of the House of Lords Committee that compiled the report, said that an ageing popultion was "probably the biggest challenge the NHS has ever faced".
He said that the evidence was "overwhelming". So is it?
To start with, there's some evidence of pressure on hospital wards. The charity Age UK, using Department of Health (DH) statistics, claim that during September and October 2011 more than 128,000 hospital bed days were lost as a result of the delayed discharge of people who could have been cared for in the community if the necessary support had been available – an increase of 13,000 bed days compared to the same period in 2010.
Meanwhile, Dr Foster Intelligence, which analyses healthcare data in conjunction with the Department of Health, estimated that 29% of hospital beds are occupied by people whose admission might have been avoided if their care had been better managed. Although not all of these people will be aged over 65, 50% of avoidable admissions involve those over 75 years old.
Primary Care Trusts (PCT) data shows that those aged 65 and over are the biggest consumers of NHS resources and that they're responsible for more than half of PCT spending (Table 6 of the Revenue Allocations Exposition Book).
The NHS is increasingly subsidising the social care system. Additional funding for social care (worth £3.8 billion over the next four years) has been made available through the NHS. Furthermore, the NHS also pays the bill for some nursing home residents, or for people who need intensive medical treatment as part of their social care.
Older, but healthier?
An ageing population doesn't necessarily mean a population that's more disease-ridden, and therefore more burdensome. After all, if life expectancy is on the rise, doesn't that mean we're getting healthier?
Any prediction about the size of a future population will involve us making a number of assumptions about life expectancy.
An estimate of 'period' life expectancy is calculated on the basis of existing age-specific mortality rates. In other words, it's taken as a given that someone of a certain age is in the future likely to die at the same age that they would now.
On the other hand, we can generate an estimate of 'cohort' life expectancy. This takes account of the fact that the health of a population is subject to change. The House of Lords Committee on Public Service and Demographic Change has applied this method in its calculatations of life expectancy, explaining that "it provides a more useful description of the length of life that individuals might expect".
However, just because somebody's life is extended doesn't mean that they'll spend their extra years in good health.
The 2004 Wanless Report generated life expectancy estimates on the basis of three different scenarios: that of "solid progress" (a population's general health improves gradually); "fully engaged" (it advances dramatically); and "slow uptake" (it flatlines or deteriorates).
The House of Lords Committee notes that all of the evidence it received suggests a "substantial increase" in the number of people with disabilities up to 2030. Its report warns of a 45% increase in the number of people with diabetes, a 50% increase in the incidence of arthritis, coronary heart disease and stroke and an overwhelming 80% increase in cases of dementia.
This set of numbers was supplied by Professor Carol Jagger from Newcastle University, who in fact assumes no change in the prevalence of disability, merely an increase in the size of the older population. It is, as it were, an optimistic scenario.
What about the Government's plans to reform social care?
Lord Filkin insisted that, while the Government has taken steps to protect people from the excessive costs of social care (which, unlike the NHS, is not a free service for most people), its reforms – based on the recommendations of the economist Andrew Dilnot – wouldn't help the vast majority of people who weren't being adequately cared for at the moment.
Crucially, the plan to introduce a £75,000 cap on care fees "didn't bring any significant new money into the social care system".
As we've discussed previously, many local councils, dealing with cuts to their budget, have rationed their social care provision. According to a recent survey, 83% of local authorities only support people with "critical" or "severe" needs. This means that anybody who's assessed as having "moderate" needs is, effectively, left to fend for themselves. There have been several attempts to estimate the size of this "unmet" need.
More often than not, the people neglected by the social care system will end up in hospital. Take a simple example: if there's no one there to help you out of bed and down the stairs, you're more likely to break your hip and spend time on a hospital ward.
The report from the House of Lords Committee concludes that the Government and society at large are "woefully underprepared" for the demands imposed by an ageing population. It recommends that, when it comes to the management of our health and social care system, "all political parties will need to rethink this issue".
The Coalition has signalled its intent to maintain a distinction between the NHS and the social care service provided by local authorities. Under its plans, healthcare will continue to be free at the point of use and a service provided at public expense while social care will mainly be financed through private contributions (either by direct payments or via an insurance policy).
At the same time, the Labour party has outlined its vision for "whole person care" and the integration of our health and social care systems. This approach is more in line with the House of Lords Committee's recommendation that "healthcare and social care must be commissioned and funded jointly".
This report also makes clear that an ageing population has a lot to offer the rest of society. But if the Silver Age is to be one to celebrate, we need to ensure that we are enabling an older generation to spend more years living in health, and contributing to the public good.

Verbal Style of Learning
Verbal (linguistic)
How do you know if your learning style is verbal?
- Has anyone ever called you a "wordsmith?"
- Do you excel at word games ranging from crossword puzzles to tongue twisters to word related board games?
- Do you seem to have a knack for making up rhymes or acronyms?
- Do you consider your vocabulary to be more robust than most others?
- Do you look up the meaning of words that you do not know?
Implications for learning
- Recognize that being a "verbal" learner can be a real advantage, especially in an online course.
- Read the content of the course out loud to yourself. Verbal learners pick up on clues when they can both see and hear words.
- Make use of acronyms when memorizing or organizing content.
- Talk out loud to yourself and put the course content in your own words.

Singer, Peter (1946-) is an Australian animal rights activist and philosopher who is credited with inspiring the modern animal rights movement. This movement is an organized effort opposing the use of animals for research, food, and clothing. Animal rights activists believe that animals feel pain and have reasoning ability and should receive greater moral consideration from human beings than human beings generally give them. Singer rejects any form of cruelty to animals.
Peter Albert David Singer was born July 6, 1946, in Melbourne, Australia. His parents, Ernst Singer and Cora Renata Oppenheim Singer, were Austrian Jewish refugees who fled after Adolf Hitler invaded Austria. Ernst Singer had worked in the tea and coffee importing business, and Cora Singer was a doctor. Three of Singer's grandparents died in the Holocaust.
Singer attended the University of Melbourne and received a B.A. degree with honors in 1967 and an M.A. degree in philosophy in 1969. He went on to study at the University of Oxford, in England, earning a B.Phil. degree in 1971.
He taught at Oxford, New York University, and La Trobe University in Bundoora, Melbourne. In 1977, he became a professor of philosophy at Monash University in suburban Melbourne. He became professor of bioethics at Princeton University in 1999. Singer coedits the journal Bioethics .
Singer's Animal Liberation (1975) established the modern animal rights movement. Singer used the term speciesism, relating it to racism and sexism, to mean the dominance of "human over nonhuman animals." He compared the movement for ethical treatment of animals to the liberation movements of women and blacks. He used philosophical arguments to counter the Biblical concept of man's dominion over animals.
His Practical Ethics (1979) became a widely used textbook in applied ethics. Singer wrote, co-wrote, or edited many articles and over 25 books.
Since the 1970's, the animal rights movement has expanded at a dramatic rate worldwide. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the Humane Society of the United States are leading animal protection organizations.

Sup fellas, Not new here my last account got lost. Anyways, heres my new best 300 dollars ever spent.
Needs some TLC. Needs 5 speed, brakes, thermostat, new gaskets, paint and new carpet. It was a jungle when i picked it up. It leeks but I havent found out all from where yet. Guessing both rear windows. It has 363K on the gauges. Ha. TOYOTA!
I walked passed it everyday for 5 years walking to school, Never saw it move so a couple weeks ago I went and asked about it. Really nice guy and extremely eccentric. I offered 300 and he threw down his grease rag and said "You got a fuckin deal!" It wasnt running at first, He said it didnt get fuel and he went through the lines trying to unclog whatever what was blocking it. No luck, I told him I want to hear it crank so we charged up the ancient battery as much as we could and pissed starting fluid into it. And what do you know, it kept running. So I got it home and ripped all the carpet out and bleached the interior real nice. Threw my x6 wheels on and it already looks better.

PeaceHealth says partnerships will not reduce services
KGMI News Reporting
By Karen Taylor
BELLINGHAM, Wash. – The ACLU of Washington and other organizations in the state have called for a state moratorium on mergers between secular hospitals and catholic non-profits.
They believe the religious affiliation may reduce certain services.
The Senior Vice President for Strategy and Development at PeaceHealth says they have partnered with local hospitals because they were invited to help.
PeaceHealth's Peter Alder says nothing they do stops other organizations from forming similar partnerships.
Alder says none of their partnerships with local hospitals, including recent ones on San Juan Island and in Sedro Woolley, have reduced any services.

Implications of "lifetime within hours" tech
The episodes, of course, are:
The Inner Light (TNG)
Hard Time (DS9)
There may be others that I missed.
Anyway, it seems that if a civilization could develop such tech, it would have profound implications. I mean, in a normal human lifespan, such tech could allow one to experience thousands of lifetimes! If you were in your office, or whatever, instead of taking a lunch break, you could take a "lifetime" break and experience this whole other life before you returned to your work!
Or if you're unhappy with your real life, you could just escape into this alternate fake life and keep doing this over and over again instead of living real life. Or if you are dying in a few months, why not use this type of tech to essentially prolong your life?
Now people will say well its no different than living a "holodeck" fake life. But I think its profoundly different. I don't think the existing Federation holodeck tech could have allowed Picard to experience a full timetime in 25 minutes.
What do others think?

Re: Implications of "lifetime within hours" tech
Having lived for decades in a non-Starfleet life, having seen how much value and worth there was in things like marriage and children, having developed new interests and cultivating different talents, Picard should've been a much different person as his Starfleet life was decades behind him.
When you talk about living another life on your lunch break....well when you got back from your lunch break, you'd be a vastly different person because of your life experiences and assuming you even remembered your job and how to do it, the person you are now may not give two shits about that job.

Re: Implications of "lifetime within hours" tech
For sure, we know that the Kataan tech through which Picard experienced his "lifetime" did not shorten his life, at least not on a 1:1 ratio. He lived an entire lifetime on Kataan in 25 minutes. Obviously if the Kataan tech shortened Picard's REAL life on a 1:1 basis, he would have "awakened" dead.

Re: Implications of "lifetime within hours" tech
But that is my point, isn't it?
What if the Argrathi/Kataan type tech were something that was widely available? I mean what would it do to a society when people, as you say, go on "lifetime" breaks during lunch and then return in a daze. Maybe they would have to ban such tech for "general" use b/c it is so disruptive?
Consider for example if Federation scientist studied the Kataan probe tech and figured out how to replicate it for general use!

Re: Implications of "lifetime within hours" tech
I am surprised that there wouldn't be any life development benefit. Picard was able to pick up a musical instrument during his alternative lifetime. He wasn't great at it, if evidenced by his attempt to record classical music, but still had a good knowledge of music thereafter. I suspect that he would just need to develop the muscle memory in order to bring his body up to speed with his mind. I imagine that an individual might learn languages, philosophy, basic engineering, etc.
There would then be the possibility of compressing a lot of thought work. Perhaps the months or years it might take to write a manuscript might be reduced by allowing the individual to accelerate the thought work. Let's say someone wants to write about Vulcan politics. After they've done the research, they use the technology in order to brainstorm the writing. In the space of a minute, they could do months of thinking things over, perhaps not needing to stop for sleep, food or recreation during that time. Once they awaken, they can proceed with writing.

Re: Implications of "lifetime within hours" tech
The only likely damage I can foresee is with possible psychological issues from carrying around multiple totally authentic but contradictory versions of what one remembers of any given time frame in one's life.
Career prospects for someone addicted to this type of "entertainment" might take a major hit, too. A lifetime of memories--implanted or not--has a major effect on one's beliefs and sensibilities. Not many people would want to have to depend on someone whose entire philosophy of life is prone to changing overnight.

Re: Implications of "lifetime within hours" tech
My feeling about Inner Light is that through the experience, his neural activity didn't really change, and his experience was compartmentalized. So when he came to, even though he felt like he'd gone through a lifetime, the same thoughts were fresh in his head.
When I go on vacation to a place I haven't been in years, I remember things I did last time I was there like it just happened. Memory responds to cues very well.

Re: Implications of "lifetime within hours" tech
You seem to think the Argrathi vs Kataan techs are "different" but I'm not sure why that would be.

Re: Implications of "lifetime within hours" tech
But a thought just occurred to me: TOS showed similar technology in Spock's Brain. The knowledge couldn't be retained, but hey.
I don't think I'd want that for a deathbed vacation. Since there's no way for us to know for sure what happens when the lights go down, I'd want to spend that time making my peace and saying goodbyes.

Re: Implications of "lifetime within hours" tech
I too enjoyed "The Inner Light" but Picard just back on duty like it was nothing was dumb. I understand that TNG was during a television era when arcs weren't as prevalent and they preferred to stay episodic, but geez...
Anybody going through that trauma (or the one that O'Brien suffered) through would not just bounce back the next day or even in a few days.
If, for example, Picard woke up and found that he was in fact a nobody science officer, lieutenant junior grade ala that episode in TNG where Q pulls a "It's a Wonderful Life", what do you think Picard would do? Would he shrug off his life as captain of the ENT-D, captain of the Stargazer, etc? Or would he FIGHT to get that life back? Would he be traumatized by the fact that his life wasn't real?
Technology like this sounds nice because people are assuming you can spend that time...learning a language or a skill but how? Would you live the life of a student for a few years? Wouldn't even that short amount of time not be disorienting? I mean, maybe it wouldn't be as bad as what Picard or O'Brien went through because they had no hope of going back to their old lives. They had resigned themselves to their artificial lives. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad going through this if you KNEW you'd come out of it with only like twenty minutes of your life eaten away. But if you're "living" in an artificial reality learning a new language, I imagine you're doing more than that. At some point you need to fake eat, fake exercise, fake interact with others outside of the classroom. No matter what...you have to build an artificial life or you'll go stir crazy.
Technology like this would be pretty creepy if you ask me. Seems like a great way to essentially tear apart a person's life. Funny this topic came up because recently I saw a science article about how scientists successfully implanted fake memories into mice. Maybe we'll see if we can do it to humans...

First I soak those catch-all trays under my stovetop burners. After I clean the rest, I take a fork and lightly scrape at all that gunk cooked on them. Most of it comes off in seconds, then I use the scrubby for a quick finish.
After cleaning telapia put it on a baking tray add chopped onions, garlic & any other herbs some chopped tomatoes also & bake till done
If I'm fixing dinner after church, I peel the potatoes and get them ready. I turn the burner on and start them to boil then turn off the burner and let the pan sit on the burner. When we get home they are done and not soggy.
Lemon as Sore Throat Soother - Cut a lemon in half. Skewer one half over a medium flame on a gas stove or an electric burner set on high & roast until the peel turns golden brown. Let cool slightly, then mix the juice with 1 teaspoon of honey. Swallow the mixture. Microwave as Lemon Juicer -Squeeze juice from lemons with less effort by first warming them for 20 seconds in the microwave. (Con't) 432
