Sparks in the dark: the attraction of electricity in the eighteenth century
Paola Bertucci
CIS-Dipartimento di Filosofia, Via Zamboni 38, 40126 Bologna, Italy
Electricity was the craze of the eighteenth century. Thrilling experiments became forms of polite entertainment for ladies and gentlemen who enjoyed feeling sparks, shocks and attractions on their bodies. Popular lecturers designed demonstrations that were performed in darkened salons to increase the spectacle of the so-called electric fire. Not only did the action, the machinery and the ambience of such displays match the culture of the libertine century, it also provided new material for erotic literature. Electric party 'A turkey is to be killed for dinner by the electric shock, and roasted by the electric jack, before a fire kindled by the electrified bottle; when the healths of all the famous electricians of England, France, Holland, and Germany, are to be drunk in electrified bumpers, under the discharge of guns from the electrical battery [1].' This description of an electrical party, penned by Benjamin Franklin in 1749, humorously captures the eighteenth-century craze for everything electric. In the age of Enlightenment, electricity was one of the most promising branches of experimental philosophy as well as one of the most requested forms of polite entertainment. Aristocratic ladies and gentlemen delighted in experimenting with the newly discovered powers of the 'electric fire'. In darkened salons demonstrators choreographed simple electrical phenomena – such as attractions, sparks and shocks – so as to turn them into interactive performances that involved the audience and that appealed to the culture of the libertine century. The new science of the Enlightenment Although the etymology of the word electricity testifies to the fact that the attractive properties of rubbed amber (elektron in Greek) had been known since antiquity, at the time Franklin wrote, electricity was still regarded as a young science. In 1767, almost two decades later, his friend and chemist Joseph Priestley termed it the 'youngest daughter of the sciences' [2]. Indeed, it was in the age of Enlightenment that electricity gained prominence both in the academic world and in the public sphere. Starting from the 1740s, learned audiences in Europe and North America became familiar with a natural power as disruptive as

lightning and as enchanting as the aurora borealis, a phenomenon that also promised sensational new therapies. Itinerant lecturers toured capitals and provinces with their portable electrical apparatus, offering dramatic demonstrations of the laws effects of the 'electric fire' in public squares and aristocratic salons. Their activity made electricity one of the most discussed topics of polite conversations, with the media of the time extolling instruments and inventors. As early as 1745 readers of the Gentleman's Magazine would learn of the 'wonderful discoveries' recently made in the field, 'so surprising as to awaken the indolent curiosity of the public'. Not only the literate, but even 'ladies and people of quality, who never regard natural philosophy but when it works miracles', became interested in electrical effects: 'princes were willing to see this new fire which a man produced from himself, and which did not descend from heaven' [3]. Electrical phenomena as simple as attractions and repulsions between charged bodies were choreographed to keep audiences from boredom. Spectators could feel on their own bodies the effects of electricity: if properly connected to the electrical machine they could see their hair raise or their hands attract small pieces of paper. Several instruments especially designed for scientific soir´ ees contributed to make a spectacle of electricity (Figure 1). Instrument-makers exploited what we now know as electrostatic induction to make paper puppets dance or metallic bells ring, whereas the livid light of electrical sparks was displayed in the dark in order to increase theatricality. Spectators could so admire spirals of sparks appearing inside glass tubes, luminescent images flashing onto wooden boards, suggestive bluish or greenish glows filling exhausted glass vessels. In 1746 the introduction of the Leyden jar (what is now called a cylindrical condenser) enhanced the dramatic character of electric demonstrations by allowing storage of the electric fire and its sudden release as shocks or sparks. The instrument contributed to the design of new fashionable, though somewhat shocking, experiments. By touching the jar's inside and outside coating with both hands, it was possible to provoke an instantaneous electric discharge through one's body. The 'Leyden experiment', as this phenomenon was known from the name of the town where it was first discovered, aroused great curiosity. As Franklin declared, for a number of ingenious lecturers who showed it for money, it meant 'meat, drink and clothing' [4]. The French instrument-maker and public demonstrator Jean Antoine Nollet made the Leyden experiment collec-

tive by forming chains of people holding hands: they would be shocked simultaneously as the first and the last person in the circle touched the inside and the outside coating of the jar (Figure 2). Useful electricity Along with the Leyden jar, another innovation brought electricity to the fore of learned discussions and public interest: medical electricity. The therapeutic virtues of electricity remained a debated issue throughout the century, nonetheless patients were receptive towards the possibility that the newly discovered electric fire might also be a healing agent. Equipped with the most up-to-date electrical instruments, performers readily included 'medical' electricity in their repertoire of theatrical demonstrations, offering to administer shocks and sparks for therapeutic purposes in the course of their performances [5]. If utility was a keyword of the Enlightenment, electricity was definitely an enlightened science. Its useful applications were not limited to innovative therapy. As it is well-known, Benjamin Franklin was a fervent advocate of lightning rods, grounded metallic conductors that were employed for preventing buildings and people from the dire effects of lightning. Franklin based his promotion of lightning rods on his own theory of electricity, according to which the movement of the electric fire was responsible for several disruptive phenomena, both in the atmosphere and in the bowels of the earth. As Priestley made clear in his History
and Present State of Electricity, by the second half of the eighteenth century electricity was regarded as a natural agent that could account for several disruptive 'unusual appearances'. Not only lightning, but also earthquakes, whirlpools and whirlwinds were explained in terms of the motion of the electric fire. Several instruments helped demonstrators illustrate the implications of Franklin's theory to the public. Thunder houses dramatically demonstrated the difference metallic conductors would make in case lightning struck a building, whereas the 'aurora flask' reproduced the aurora borealis which was regarded as an electrical phenomenon on a small scale (Figure 3). Such demonstrations contributed to the construction of an electrical cosmos: health, sickness, thunderstorm, earthquakes and aurora borealis, all resulted from the motions of the electric fire. Science in the salon The quick reception of electrical science in the public sphere was strictly tied to the ongoing success of experimental philosophy. Public lectures on natural philosophy, based on experimental demonstrations, were well-established forms of education and recreation in the mid-eighteenth century [6]. Newtonian natural philosophy spread widely thanks to the courses that itinerant lecturers offered to paying audiences. Educated ladies and gentlemen delighted in experimenting on the natural world and the conversations they hosted in their salons – which can

be regarded as one of the cultural spaces of the Enlightenment – often focused on scientific subjects. Instruments such as the orrery (or planetarium), the air pump, microscopes and telescopes, were familiar items not only for the learned but also for the polite. As icons of natural knowledge, they were included in gentlemanly collections of curiosities and rarities, or exhibited in especially dedicated physics cabinets. As electrical experiments gained the attention of the public, lecturers readily included the new science in their repertoire of demonstrations while instrument makers promptly added electrical instruments in their sales catalogues [7]. Electrical phenomena, on their part, lent themselves particularly well to the culture of public performances, which blended spectacle and education. In darkened salons electrical performers staged a repertoire of sparks and attractions that exhilarated their audiences. The electric fire revealed itself to the eyes, the ears and even the nose: its livid light was accompanied by a crackling noise and left a distinctive sulphurous smell. Audiences in search of entertainment and education were particularly impressed by the sensuous experience of the electric fire. Electrical ´ soirees never failed to satisfy such expectation. In 1730 Stephen Gray, a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, conceived an experiment that demonstrated the ability of the human body to conduct electricity. The sowww.sciencedirect.com
called 'flying-boy experiment' became one of the most popular demonstrations that made the fortune of itinerant performers throughout Europe. Suspended by silk cords, a young boy was connected to a friction generator by his feet: by this means his hands could attract small pieces of papers. In the course of the century several variations were proposed: the boy's electrified hands turned the pages of a book, or transmitted the electric fire to a young girl who would attract light objects herself. Nollet involved the ladies in the audience: as they approached their fingers to the boy's nose a big spark could be seen and heard (Figure 4). The inclusion of the human body in electrical demonstrations increased their spectacularity and the curiosity they aroused among polite society. With the armoury of attractions, repulsions, sparks and shocks, itinerant demonstrators could be certain of success. Bodily attractions ´ Women became essential protagonists of electrical soirees. Electrical performances staged in courts and salons counted on their active participation and played with sexual difference. Although both men and women could experience the electric fire with their bodies, they would tackle it in different ways. The most common electrical experiments provide a glimpse into the different roles salon culture codified for ladies and gentlemen. One of

organize. The selected lady would stand on an insulated stool while an operator charged her body with an electrical machine. Gentlemen in the audience would then be invited to kiss her, but alas, as they tried to approach her lips a strong spark would discourage any attempt, while exhilarating the lady and the rest of the audience. The Gentleman's Magazine celebrated Bose's invention: 'Could one believe that a lady's finger, that her whalebone petticoat, should send forth flashes of true lightening, and that such charming lips could set on fire a house? The ladies were sensible of this new privilege of kindling fires without any poetical figure, or hyperbole, and resorted from all parts to the public lectures of natural philosophy, which by that means became brilliant assemblies [8].' Bose, by contrast, deliberately used 'poetical figures' as a way of ingratiating members of the opposite sex, especially if there was a chance aristocratic ladies might offer him patronage. One of the most active electricians of the mid-eighteenth century, he wrote a poem on electricity that he dedicated to the princess of Gotha and to the duchess of Bruhl-Collowrath, who enjoyed attending his ¨ electric demonstrations. In his verses there was of course a reference to his attempt to kiss an electrifying Venus: Once only, what temerity! I kissed Venus standing on pitch. It pained me to the quick. My lips trembled My mouth quivered, my teeth almost broke [9] Bose contributed substantially to making the repertoire of electric demonstrations spicier. If his electrifying Venus gratified ladies, the defeated men could exhibit their viri-

If the conductor was grounded, nothing would happen, thus demonstrating the value of lightning rods. However, if the conductor were was not grounded, the spark would ignite some gunpowder placed inside the house, resulting in a dramatic explosion.

the most popular demonstrations of the time was the electrifying Venus, or electric kiss. Invented by the German professor Georg Matthias Bose, it was soon replicated throughout Europe. The experiment was simple to

lity by 'inflaming spirits' with electrified swords (Figure 5). Bose also allowed gentlemen to show more spiritual tendencies by undergoing 'beatification': the volunteer sat on an armchair and, thanks to a device that resulted invisible in the dark, after a few minutes a luminous halo would appear above his head (Figure 6). Bose did not limit his creativity to experiment. Convinced as he was that academic prose would never capture the imagination of the public he wished to attract, he worked at changing the vocabulary of electricity so as to adapt it to the libertine century. In his poem on electricity he presented an innovative explanation of electrical phenomena based, not by chance, on the distinction between 'male' and 'female' electric fire. The male fire, emitted by metals and animal bodies, was unsurprisingly strong and powerful: sparks, with their crackling sound, were visible manifestations of this kind of fire. The female fire, instead, was a weak luminous emanation, the kind of light that characterized the aurora borealis. Although Bose's theory was short-lived, his vision of electricity as a bridge between experimental and erotic culture continued throughout the century. In fact, both the machinery and the gesture of electrical experiment inspired pornographic satirists. The vocabulary of friction, attraction, sparks and flames lent itself particularly well to verses that defeated prudery: What makes our first felicity, But this pure electricity, Divested of all fiction: Motion makes heat, and heat makes love, Creatures below, and things above, Are all produc'd by friction [10].
Such satirical poems drew freely from the allusions so obviously offered by electrical instrumentation. The globes of the electrical machines, caressed by the operators' hands in order to produce electric fire, became the subject of another poem: Each charm, by turns, reveal'd, must fuel prove, To feed the gentle, lambent flame of love, But most the beauties of the Bosom please, Nor any female charm can vie with these! The tempting seat of all that's sweet and fair, For Nature's Electricity is there! [11] At the end of the century the discovery of animal electricity provided new sources of inspiration for such kind of literature. If the marquis De Sade suggested that the electric eel (or gymnotus electricus) could be employed as an instrument for sexual torture, other authors believed that the power of conducting the electric fire was strictly related to virility. Their opinion was supported by the contemporary rumour that the Leyden experiment did not work on the castrati. The connection between electricity and virility/fertility stood at the core of the Temple of Health and Hymen, the London extravaganza of a medicoelectrical quack, George Graham. Among the many prodigious cures electricity afforded in the Temple, the most requested was the Celestial Bed, a gigantic bed surrounded by electric vapours that – he claimed – helped couples fight against barrenness. When Franklin described his electric lunch, experimental apparatus was common enough for learned readers to get the hilarity of his statement. Electrification of everyday life was still to come, yet excitement about the new science

of the Enlightenment was widespread, in academies and salons. Electricity became the craze of the eighteenth century thanks to the thrilling demonstrations choreographed by lecturers and demonstrators that explained the role of the electric fire in the natural world with an eye to the tastes of their audiences. The instrument trade, the marketing of cultural products, the sociability of electrical experiments, all played a crucial role in spreading interest in the 'youngest daughter of the sciences'.

decided.: April 30, 1948.
UNITED STATESv.CHRISTOPH.
Per Curiam.
This case involves the problem very similar to that considered at length by this Court in Klapprott v. United States, 3 Cir., 1948, 166 F.2d 273. The appellant, Christoph, a resident of New Jersey, was one of the same group of defendants who were convicted and whose conviction was subsequently reversed by the Supreme Court. The action to revoke his citizenship was begun while he was in the Federal Correctional Institution at Sandstone, Minnesota, and a copy was sent him there. He wrote a letter to the Clerk of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. In that letter he denied the truth of the charges in the complaint against him and then added the following:
"5. In view of these facts I therefore desire, and herewith give you formal notice, that I relinquish and surrender of my own free will certificate of citizenship of the U.S.A. and that from this date on, I do not consider myself liable for allegiance, fidelity in any way whatever to the U.S.A. and of course, do not claim further rights, benefits or privileges which may be connected with the ownership of such a citizen certificate.
"I furthermore state I object to aforementioned Civil Action #2437 for reasons stated in above mentioned paragraph 4 and request to have set aside said action as unnecessary and superfluous. I am no more a citizen of this country with this date and a continuance of the action would mean less than a formality.
"I also request, that my deportation to Germany is arranged at the most earliest possible moment."
Judgment was entered against appellant in the District Court for the District of New Jersey. Aside from the question (1) whether such a statement could be received as an answer or appearance without paying the fee required by law and (2) whether it is an answer which presents any issue of law of fact, we think the quoted paragraphs are as strong an indication of the appellant's consent to the prayer of the Government as language used by a human being can evince. The case is, therefore, a stronger case for the Government's position than was our previous case of Klapprott.
We abide by our decision in that case, the discussion of which we think answers all other points raised in this litigation.
The order appealed from will be affirmed.

Red is the colour of passion and red wedding flowers are a striking visual symbol of love. A stylish and colourful choice all year round, red is perhaps the perfect colour for…
Written by Kate Thompson Last updated: August 14, 2013
A fan bouquet is an elegant alternative to the usual floral wedding bouquet. Ideal for the bride looking for something different, a striking fan can be held in place of a posy of flowers with dramatic effect.
The fan bouquet suits most wedding gowns and looks particularly striking against a simple design as this bouquet is a conversation piece in itself!
The most beautiful fan bouquets use a combination of flowers against other gorgeous textures such as wood or a delicate, light plastic for the frame of the fan, enhanced with delicate lace, feathers, ribbons or even fur. Add crystals or gemstones for a real 'wow' factor. You could have the fan made all in one striking colour or a mix of contrasting or complementary colours to add interest.
The fan bouquet comes in many forms and you may choose to hold a coloured lace fan decorated with fresh flowers, ribbons, feathers or leaves. It can be held in different ways, by the fan itself or with a handle. You could also have pearls or gemstones, foliage or ribbons trailing from the centre.
A purely decorative fan of flowers will look stunning in your wedding photos and a working fan could keep you cool on a sultry hot summer's day.
Have a bespoke fan bouquet designed just for you by working with a florist or fan maker to create a truly unique work of art in your chosen colours that matches your overall wedding theme.
After the wedding, the fan can be treasured forever as a special keepsake of the day. You could even frame it behind glass and display it for all to see.
As the bride, you may want to have a slightly larger bouquet to your bridesmaids to ensure yours stands out. You could have different flowers packed into yours and just one flower in theirs or have yours in a vibrant colour such as red with theirs in white. This works beautifully against a white or ivory wedding dress and red bridesmaids dresses.
Your florist is the wedding flower expert so discuss your options with them and don't be afraid to ask for what you want even if they haven't yet suggested it. Look through their portfolios for inspiration and discuss all the different flower, colour and style options open to you and the finishing touches such as ribbons, bows and tiny gem stones on petals for added sparkle.
Please see the Wedding Directory to find florists in your region!
What a gorgeous idea! I really like the white and pink combination. Even if the bridesmaids had this and the bride had a standard bouquet, I think it adds something quite lovely.
Do you recommend a business who do these fans?

GLEN RODRIGUEZ, PLAINTIFF,v.MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, DEFENDANT.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER (Social Security Case)
This matter is before the Court for review of the decision by the Commissioner of Social Security denying Plaintiff's application for disability benefits. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(c), the parties have consented that the case may be handled by the Magistrate Judge. The action arises under 42 U.S.C. §405(g), which authorizes the Court to enter judgment upon the pleadings and transcript of the Administrative Record ("AR") before the Commissioner. The parties have filed the Joint Stipulation ("JS"), and the Commissioner has filed the certified AR.
Plaintiff raises the following issues:
1. Whether the Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") failed to consider the treating psychiatrist's evaluation;
2. Whether the ALJ properly considered the lay witness's statements;
3. Whether the ALJ made proper credibility findings; and 4. Whether the ALJ posed a complete hypothetical question to the Vocational Expert.
(JS at 2-3.)
This Memorandum Opinion will constitute the Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law. After reviewing the matter, the Court concludes that for the reasons set forth, the decision of the Commissioner must be reversed.
Plaintiff protectively filed an application for SSDI benefits on April 22, 2005, which was denied from the administrative level through a hearing before the ALJ, resulting in an unfavorable decision issued on May 2, 2008. (AR 12-19.) Plaintiff alleged an onset date of disability of June 1, 2003 due to schizophrenia and short-term memory loss. Plaintiff's date last insured for Title II disability benefits was June 30, 2004. (AR 45, 70, 76, 83.) The A L J determined that Plaintiff was not disabled from June 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004. (AR 19.)
The ALJ, who found that Plaintiff suffers from schizophrenia and psychotic disorder (AR 14), appears to have largely relied upon a psychological evaluation conducted on April 2, 2008 at the request of the Department of Social Services (AR 273-77), to find that despite the existence of an obviously serious mental illness, Plaintiff is not disabled from working. For the reasons to be set forth, the Court determines that this decision was erroneous.
Plaintiff was involuntarily hospitalized on July 17, 2003. It bears quoting from a portion of the psychiatric evaluation completed by Dr. Sekhon at the time of Plaintiff's admission:
This 19-year-old American-Hispanic male brought by the family member to the psychiatric triage because of increased disorganized behavior, talking to self, yelling and screaming, not sleeping, wandering aimlessly, and responding to voices. He was talking about killing himself and others, people are after him. They are afraid of his behavior. He refused to take the medication. In the psychiatric triage, patient was anxious, nervous, easily distracted, and made bizarre gestures, admitted to back spasms, pulling his neck to one side stating that he is having a spasm, then able to hold it. Patient was medically cleared, he was placed on 5150 as a danger to self and gravely disabled. He consented for the medication. He was given Atavan 2 mg IM to control his nervousness, anxiety and spasm. Patient was given Soma and Motrin by the PA to control the spasms." (AR 159.)
The mental status examination conducted upon Plaintiff's admission indicated, in part, that Plaintiff had poor eye contact, was easily distracted, disorganized, unable to focus, had slow and low speech with very limited content, guarded associations, slowed down with thought blocking, and limited content. His thought content included hallucinations and delusions. Plaintiff admitted to vague auditory hallucination, that voices yell and scream at him, tell him to do different things. He is afraid, gets confused, and his family is not helping him. He appeared to be responding to internal stimuli. He had paranoid ideation. His mood was depressed and irritable, and his affect was anxious, with increased feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, worthlessness, and isolation. He had difficulty relating to family members. His concentration and attention span were limited, his memory was impaired recent and remote secondary to disorganized behavior and distraction. He showed limited insight and judgment. His impulse control was limited as was his reality testing. He was considered dangerous to himself and others. He was further considered to be gravely disabled, unable to make a realistic plan, and had a history of self-neglect. His family was afraid of his behavior. He was determined to need acute psychiatric care. (AR 159-160.)
The Commissioner of course concedes the fact of Plaintiff's mental illness, and his involuntary hospitalization in 2003; however, the Commissioner asserts that upon discharge on July 21, 2003, Plaintiff essentially seemed much better. The Court does not read the discharge diagnosis in such a rosy fashion. Although he was alert and oriented on discharge, and denied suicidal and homicidal thoughts, at most it was indicated that Plaintiff continued to minimize his symptoms at the time of discharge, but when confronted, admitted to ideas of reference from a television in the past while not under the influence of drugs, and reported hearing thoughts and hearing people threaten him. He was felt to be safe for further treatment on an out-patient basis. (AR 152.)
Similarly, the Court does not agree with the summary conclusions of the Commissioner concerning Plaintiff's later treatment, which are reflected in the record at AR 173-198. Again, the Commissioner notes isolated incidents in which Plaintiff reported that he felt better and denied hearing voices. These are, however, just isolated snippets from the record, which, overall, reveals that Plaintiff continued suffering from his mental illness, and continued hearing voices (see, e.g., AR 177, 179). Indeed, on April 25, 2005, Dr. Eklund determined that he suffered from auditory hallucinations; his thought content was paranoid/persecutory, and nihilistic; his recent memory was rated at zero/three, and he continued to be diagnosed as having a schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type. (AR 188.)
Despite all this, the ALJ fairly exclusively relied upon a one-time psychological examination by Dr. Cash conducted at the request of the Department of Social Services five years after Plaintiff's involuntary hospitalization for mental illness. The Court notes that even Dr. Cash acknowledged the limitations of his findings and examination, noting that, "This evaluation was not meant to be a comprehensive psychological evaluation. The findings are based on test performance, observation, and interaction with the claimant on the day of the evaluation only." (AR 277.) Dr. Cash reported that Plaintiff articulated continued delusions: hearing whispers and seeing shadows, and he believed he was abducted by aliens, had his soul operated on, and has an alien in his brain. (AR 274.)
The Court sees no need to further summarize the record. It is quite abundantly clear that Plaintiff has a mental illness which, prior to the date last insured, appears to have caused serious deterioration in his mental functioning in areas which must be evaluated to determine whether he is disabled due to mental impairments. In evaluating mental impairments, 20 C.F.R. §404.1520a(c)(3)(4) and §416.920a(c)(3)(4) mandate that consideration be given, among other things, to activities of daily living ("ADLs"), social functioning, concentration, persistence, or pace and episodes of decompensation. These factors are generally analyzed in a Psychiatric Review Technique Form ("PRTF"), which is used at Step Three of the sequential evaluation to determine if a claimant is disabled under the Listings; however, the same data must be considered at subsequent steps unless the mental impairment is found to be not severe at Step Two. (See SSR 85-16.)
The Court is not satisfied that, as required by 20 C.F.R. §§404.1520a(c)(1) and 416.920a(c)(1), consideration has been given to "all relevant and available clinical signs and laboratory findings, the effects of your symptoms, and how your functioning may be affected by factors including, but not limited to, chronic mental disorders, structured settings, medication and other treatment."*fn1
SSR 85-16 suggests the following as relevant evidence:
"History, findings, and observations from medical sources (including psychological test results), regarding the presence, frequency, and intensity of hallucinations, delusions or paranoid tendencies; depression or elation; confusion or disorientation; conversion symptoms or phobias; psycho-physiological symptoms, withdrawn or bizarre behavior; anxiety or tension. Reports of the individual's activities of daily living and work activity, as well as testimony of third parties about the individual's performance and behavior. Reports from workshops, group homes, or similar assistive entities."
It is also required under §404.1520a(c)(2) and §416.920a(c)(2) that the ALJ must consider the extent to which the mental impairment interferes with an "ability to function independently, appropriately, effectively, and on a sustained basis" including "such factors as the quality and level of [] overall functional performance, any episodic limitations [and] the amount of supervision or assistance [] require[d]."
Pursuant to the September 2000 amendments to the regulations which modify 20 C.F.R. §404.1520a(e)(2) and §416.920a(e)(2), the ALJ is no longer required to complete and attach a PRTF. The revised regulations identify five discrete categories for the first three of four relevant functional areas: activities of daily living; social functioning; concentration, persistence or pace; and episodes of decomposition. These categories are None, Mild, Moderate, Marked, and Extreme. (§404.1520a(c)(3), (4).) In the decision, the ALJ must incorporate pertinent findings and conclusions based on the PRTF technique. §404.1520a(e)(2) mandates that the ALJ's decision must show "the significant history, including examination and laboratory findings, and the functional limitations that were considered in reaching a conclusion about the severity of the mental impairment(s). The decision must include a specific finding as to the degree of limitation in each of the functional areas described in paragraph (c) of this section."
The Step Two and Three analyses (see Decision at AR 53-54) are intended to determine, first, whether a claimant has a severe mental impairment (Step Two), and if so, whether it meets or equals any of the Listings (Step Three). It is also required under §404.1520a(c)(2) and §416.920a(c)(2) that the ALJ must consider the extent to which the mental impairment interferes with an "ability to function independently, appropriately, effectively, and on a sustained basis" including "such factors as the quality and level of [] overall functional performance, any episodic limitations [and] the amount of supervision or assistance [] require[d]."
These findings and conclusions are relevant to the Step Two and Three analysis of whether a claimant has a severe mental impairment, and if so, whether it meets or equals any of the Listings. (See 20 C.F.R. Part 4, subpart p, App. 1.) The discussion in Listing 12.00, "Mental Disorders," is relevant:
"The criteria in paragraphs B and C describe impairment-related functional limitations that are incompatible with the ability to do any gainful activity. The functional limitations in paragraphs B and C must be the result of the mental disorders described in the diagnostic description, that is manifested by the medical findings in paragraph A.
In Listing 12.00C, entitled 'Assessment of Severity,' it is stated that, 'we assess functional limitations using the four criteria in paragraph B of the Listings: Activities of daily living; social functioning; concentration; persistence, or pace; and episodes of decompensation. Where we use 'marked' as a standard for measuring the degree of limitation, it means more than moderate but less than extreme."
The Court does not perceive that the record in this case has been at all adequately developed. A one-time psychological consultation, with testing, conducted five years after an inpatient hospitalization which reflected that Plaintiff was in a seriously deteriorated mental state, does not amount to an adequate record upon which to make a disability determination. Certainly, a psychiatric consultation would have been a necessary step in view of Plaintiff's long, documented history of mental illness. A battery of psychological tests, by itself, was inadequate to make the requisite determinations.
On remand, these matters will be addressed pursuant to the guidance provided in this Opinion.
A. The ALJ Erred in Assessing Both Plaintiff's Credibility, and Lay Witness Testimony.
In his second and third issues, Plaintiff asserts that the ALJ failed to properly consider the lay witness statements of his sister, Nancy Rodriguez, who completed a third party function report (AR 103-111), and also Plaintiff's own credibility. On both issues, Plaintiff is correct, and the Commissioner's arguments fail to hit the mark.
With regard to the statements of Plaintiff's sister, Plaintiff is correct that the ALJ did no more than summarize them in her decision.
(See AR at 17.) There is simply no evaluation whatsoever of her statements. As a matter of law, the lack of any reasoning in the decision makes it unsustainable. See Smolen v. Chater 80 F.3d 1273, 1288-89 (9th Cir. 1996). The Commissioner's contention that the ALJ in fact did consider these lay witness statements by comparing and contrasting them to Plaintiff's own statements is a conclusion that is completely unsupported by any part of the decision. Moreover, the Commissioner seizes on one statement by Ms. Rodriguez in which she indicates that she does not presently spend too much time with Plaintiff, but always accompanies him to his doctor visits, as apparent evidence that she does not have percipient knowledge of Plaintiff's current mental state. That much cannot be gleaned from this statement. Right before that, Plaintiff's sister indicated that she has known Plaintiff since he was born. Ostensibly, they grew up together. In view of the fact that Plaintiff appears to suffer from a long-standing mental illness, it can be reasonably presumed that his sister has first-hand knowledge and observations of his behavior. Moreover, many of her observations are highly consistent with the mental status examination conducted by Dr. Sekhon at the time of Plaintiff's admission to the hospital in July of 2003. (See AR at 159.)
Similar infirmities exist with regard to the ALJ's determination of Plaintiff's own credibility, which was depreciated as being inconsistent with the residual functional capacity assessment. (AR 17.) The only reason provided in the decision, however, is that Plaintiff's own description of his symptoms is inconsistent with the assessments by the State Agency physician and the psychological consultative examiner, who saw Plaintiff in 2008. This type of general finding is legally insufficient under accepted standards of credibility assessment. See Lester v. Chater, 81 F.3d 821, 834 (9th Cir. 1995). The ALJ failed to specifically identify the testimony found to be not credible or to explain the particular evidence that undermines the testimony. Indeed, the Commissioner's burden is that clear and convincing reasons must be articulated to reject a claimant's testimony regarding subjective symptoms. See Reddick v. Chater, 157 F.3d 715, 722 (9th Cir. 1998). Here, the ALJ seemingly rejected Plaintiff's credibility based only on objective medical evidence, which, in and of itself, is an insufficient basis upon which to make such a finding.
Finally, the Court will not engage in a discussion regarding the adequacy of the hypothetical question posed to the VE, since the Court has rejected the ALJ's evaluation of the evidence, along with the RFC assessment which formed the basis for the hypothetical question. These matters must be re-examined at a new hearing, after further evidence is developed.
For the foregoing reasons, this matter will be remanded for further hearing consistent with this Memorandum Opinion.

10 Nov
The year 2010 has been the year of the undrafted rookie in the NFL. Every week it seems like another player who was overlooked by every NFL team during the draft makes an impact and Week 9 was no different, with four undrafted players producing headlines with their play on Sunday. Chris Tripodi has the latest on this week's unheralded rookie stars.
Javarris James (RB-Ind)
James might be better known for being the cousin of former NFL running back Edgerrin James than anything else, but his two touchdowns on Sunday helped the Colts stay in the game against the Eagles. Undrafted out of Miami, James received the goal-line work in for the Colts with Joseph Addai and Mike Hart out and Donald Brown still not 100 percent.
After a freshman season that saw him amass over 1,000 yards from scrimmage, many thought James would be the next big running back prospect out of Miami but injuries slowed him during his final two college seasons and dropped his draft stock significantly. While James may never be the star his cousin was, he has the skill set to be a solid backup in the NFL and step in when injuries hit, much like he did this weekend.
Seyi Ajirotutu (WR-SD)
With San Diego losing Antonio Gates, Malcom Floyd, Legedu Naanee and Buster Davis to injury, the undrafted former Fresno State star stepped in to lead the Chargers receivers against the porous Texans secondary. Ajirotutu finished with 4 catches for 111 yards and his first 2 career touchdowns, burning Houston's first-round pick, cornerback Kareem Jackson, for scores of 55 and 28 yards.
Ajirotutu is a smooth 6-3 receiver with the ability to stretch a defense vertically despite average speed. He went undrafted due to his inconsistent hands and focus but if he continues to polish his game, Ajirotutu has the size, speed and skill set to develop into a second receiver in the NFL. His performance against Houston solidified his spot on the San Diego roster for the rest of the season, even once they get healthy and Vincent Jackson returns from suspension.
Jacoby Ford (WR-Oak)
A second-round pick out of Clemson, Ford became just the second NFL player to have 140 receiving yards and 150 return yards in the same game. Ford returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown to get the Raiders on the board and caught 6 passes for 148 yards, including two long late-game catches that set up the game-tying and game-winning field goals.
Ford got an opportunity thanks to the Louis Murphy's injury problems and the disappearing act pulled by last year's first-round draft pick, Darrius Heyward-Bey, who didn't catch one ball just a week after going over 100 yards. At just 5-9, 186 pounds but equipped with 4.25 speed, Ford is a playmaker in both the receiving game and the return game.
One of the major knocks on him out of college was an inability to win out in battles, but Ford stole an interception from Brandon Flowers that would've ended the game and sealed a Chiefs victory. Then in overtime, Ford laid out for a 47-yard reception down the field to essentially seal a Raiders victory. It will be interesting to see how Ford is used after Oakland's Week 10 bye and how he might adjust to Bruce Gradkowski's impending return.
Andre Roberts (WR-Ari)
An All-America-caliber junior season (95 catches, 1,334 yards and 14 touchdowns) put Roberts on the map and despite an underwhelming senior season at The Citadel, Roberts stood out enough at the Senior Bowl and the combine to warrant a third-round pick in April's draft. He caught his first career touchdown on Sunday against Minnesota but remains behind Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston and Early Doucet on the depth chart.
Roberts is a sharp route-runner who knows how to use his 5-11, 195-pound frame to his advantage. He quickly reaches his 4.4 speed and while he's a one-speed receiver, he has the ability to consistently create separation from defensive backs. Roberts is very polished for a rookie and can be effective as a third receiver, he just needs an opportunity to prove himself on the field coming out of a small school.
Michael Palmer (TE-Atl)
A longshot to make the team out of training camp, the undrafted rookie from Clemson scored his first career touchdown Sunday and doubled his career reception total with two catches. While he's stuck behind Tony Gonzalez on the depth chart, Palmer proved once again that undrafted players can produce when given an opportunity.
Palmer is a limited athlete but shows good ability as a pass catcher, showing strong yet soft hands and a good release into his routes. His 4.94 speed prevents him from stretching the field and he doesn't get much push in the run game, but he can be a serviceable backup tight end in the NFL with his receiving skills.
Koa Misi (LB-Mia)
Miami's second-round pick out of Utah, Misi stepped into the starting role in Week 1 and hasn't looked back. He had a season-high 6 tackles (4 solo) against the Ravens on Sunday and also ranks second on the team with 3.5 sacks.
Misi was a defensive end with the Utes but his skills have translated well to the 3-4 outside linebacker position. He consistently improved throughout his final three seasons in college and has done the same in the NFL. Misi struggled setting the edge on running plays during the preseason but has made major strides in that area, as well as working to perfect his pass-rush moves.
He doesn't have the first-step quickness of a superstar rush linebacker and needs to polish his moves off the edge, but the Dolphins like Misi's non-stop motor and his diligence off the field, watching tapes of Jason Taylor and soon Elvis Dumervil to look for things to add to his repertoire. Misi has the upside to be a solid NFL starter, both against the run and rushing the passer.
Sam Shields (CB-GB)
With the release of veteran Al Harris this week, the Packers are committing to the undrafted Shields as their nickel back for the rest of the season. Shields was a wide receiver until his senior season at Miami and Green Bay's coaching staff believes he has the potential to develop into a top cornerback in the NFL once he gains a better feel for the position.
Shields is an excellent athlete who recorded his first career interception this week against Dallas. He works hard to get up the field to defend the run and breaks to the ball with receiver-like skills when the ball is in the air. Shields has displayed the same level of improvement so far this season as he did as a senior with the Hurricanes and with good size (5-10, 180) and speed (4.45) he has the potential to be a very good player in the NFL once he polishes his footwork and improves his instincts as a corner.
Kam Chancellor (S-Sea)
Drafted in the fifth round out of Virginia Tech, Chancellor saw extensive playing time in the second half of the Seahawks' blowout loss to the Giants at home. The former Hokie finished with 7 tackles (5 solo) and a pass defensed in garbage time.
With the aging Lawyer Milloy starting alongside first-round draft pick Earl Thomas, the Seahawks view Chancellor as a potential option for next year and beyond at strong safety. At 6-3, 230 pounds, Chancellor is a hard-hitter best playing downhill against the run while his ball skills and awareness in coverage leave much to be desired. But with Thomas playing more of the prototypical center fielder at free safety, Chancellor can provide a Milloy-like complement at strong safety. Seattle would be wise to give Chancellor more playing time if they fall out of contention in the NFC West, which might be difficult to do this season no matter how hard they try.
Finally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this caliber for the last several hours. Your site is greatly appreciated.

I have not been to the Bernards Inn in over a year but came tonight to have a fun, ladies night out that I found on a Facebook invite. I was pleasantly greeted with a speciality drink and app menu for the night that completely fit the theme and service was completely up to task. As we were having a...
We've been (to Bertrams restaurant) several times in the last couple of years. The menu hasn't changed much (if at all) in that time, and it's not cheap. The quality is very good, but not that it could be described as equally good value; it's expensive, especially the wine (but that's the same outrageous mark-up the world over).
I recently met my wife at The Bernards Inn for dinner. It is such a quaint inn. We were looking forward to the evening.
We like to dine early. We arrived late afternoon. The restaurant didn't look open. We decided to grab a cocktail at the bar before dinner.
There was a big man with his glasses on his head....
The menu is always enticing with great seasonal influence and the food is always well prepared. However the service is consistently overly complicated as every attendant has their place in the heirachy. This just means more interventions in the dining experience and adds nothing. Snooty perhaps?
lovely stay; charming old fashioned inn with fabulous restaurant. The rooms and the restaurant are
higher priced but worth it if you like the old fashioned .
we found the bar menu most attractive.
the lobby was terrific
My wife, daughter and I had dinner to celebrate my wife's bnirthday. The impact, when you walk in the front door, is like time has transformed you back to a a 1930s movie set of an elegent, small hotel lobby with instant gracious service. The dining room itself was perfectly set with seating that was private and service that was...
New York's Plaza Hotel is gone - if you want to see its dining room, you have to watch the start of Hitchcock's North by Northwest. However, its spirit lives on at Bernards Inn. Is it perfect? No, but truthfully, the Plaza wasn't perfect either. But Bernards Inn strives for, and often achieves, something even better: what the Grand Old...
One of the most expensive restaurants in the area. Had dinner recently. Food and service were good-but I won't go any farther in my admiration. The seared foie gras was great but the lobster entree was so so. The vegetables on the plate were cold underneath and warm on the top. They really get you with their wine offerings. I...
We had a wonderful dinner recently at the elegant restaurant of The Bernards Inn. There are in fact four different dining venues at the Inn. In one, The Library Piano Bar, dinner is accompanied by live entertainment. The adjacent Great Room is the most elegant of the venues, while the quieter Conservatory is probably best for those who want to...

Kerala Destinations
Alappuzha (Alleppey)
Alappuzha Famous for its boat races and beaches, was founded by Raja keshawadasan, Divan of Traveanacore in 1762. Alappuzha one of the backwater sites of India's southern state Kerala.Alappuzha is a district of immense natural beauty also referred as Venice of the east. By the Virture of its proximity to the sea,Alappuzha also is the home to diverse animal and bird life.
Most of the traveller come here is to use it as a stopover point on their way to Backwater tour to kollam or kottayam.
A singular characteristic of this land is the region called Kuttanad. The rice bowl of Kerala. Kuttanad is perhaps the only place in the world where farming is done below sea level.
Major Boat Races in Alappuzha :
Alappuzha Nehru Trophy Boat Race at Pannamada Kayal - second Saturday of August.
Pulinkunnu Rajiv Gandhi Boat Race - Last Saturday of August.
Champakulam Moolam Boat Race - Moolam day of Mithunam - July
Payippad Jalotsavam - 4th Onam day - August/September.
Neerattupuram Boat Race - Onam - August/September.
Places to Visit :
Kuttand :
Kuttanad It's called the rice bowl of kerala because of her wealth of paddy crops, is at the very heart of the backwaters. The scenic countryside of Kuttanad with its shimmering waterways also has a rich crop of Banana, Cassava and Yam. This is perhaps the only region in the world where farming is done 1.5 to 2 mtr below sea level. Inland waterways which flow above land lever are an amazing feature of this region.
Alappuzha (Alleppey) beach:
This is one of the most popular picnic spots in Alappuzha (Alleppey). The pier, which extends into the sea here, is over 137 years old. Entertainment facilities at the vijaya beach park add to the attractions of the beach. There is also an old lighthouse which is greatly fascinating to visitors.
Pathira manal :
According the mythology a Young Brahmin dived into the Vembanad lake to persorm his evening ablutions and the water made way for land to rise from below, thus creating the enchanting Island pf Pathiramanal (sands of midnight). This little island on the backwaters is a favourite haunt of hundreds of rare migratory birds from different parts of the world.
