Education or Subjugation – Power & Empowerment in Schools
😉 (Note: 'subjugation'!? Sorry, I just had to use that word. It rhymes!)
I have been thinking, once again, about empowerment and what it means- both theoretically and practically.
You will think about the term and its ramifications quite differently depending on the lens you are using (your upbringing, your values and beliefs, your profession, your education, your life's mission).
What do we mean by 'empowerment'?
Some definitions demonstrate the diversity of interpretation attributed to the concept of empowerment.
empower – To give permission or power to do something; Abstractly, to give the confidence to do something.
empowerment – The granting of political, social or economic power to an individual or group; The process of supporting another person or persons to discover and claim personal power.
empowerment – …a multi-dimensional social process that helps people gain control over their own lives. It is a process that fosters power in people for use in their own lives, their communities and in their society, by acting on issues they define as important.
It's about power
We could continue getting definitions, but clearly, it is about 'power' – power over choices, who has the power, how the power is shared, individual power vs the collective needs.
I will focus here of 'educational empowerment' – empowerment to learn and for learning. Unfortunately, or fortunately, this is not a closed box uninfluenced by other aspects of life. We, in schools, need to see through a more holistic lens than often is permitted by the school or by the school system. (In fact, we as educators, are often not empowered to do what we need to do to empower the students.)
Having said that, we often feel that we are empowering students:
- if we are engaging them in their areas of interest
- if we are giving them choices about all that is mentioned it the differentiated instruction literature – choice over process of knowledge acquisition (construction), content, and product
- if we are engaging them in the assessment/evaluation process (e.g., collaborative rubric creation).
- if we engage them in their 'preferred learning style' – although this often is a simplistically applied construct.
I don't dismiss these notions. In fact, I am generally in agreement with them. But, it's not sufficient.
What we often do is still rather contrived – often by the structures of the institution.
We need an holistic approach
School is only a narrow slice of their life. What we often do is still rather contrived – often by the structures of the institution. Some of this we cannot change – unless we want to speak of education/school reform on a large scale. I prefer, at this point, to examine what we might be able to control within existing structures.
The kids are whole when they arrive at our doorsteps – and come with a full life replete with desires, passions, problems, issues, excitement (not necessarily about school) and confusions.
We need to deal with the whole child.
I am a Summerhillian at heart. Always have been. A.S. Neill started Summerhill in 1921. There are, of course, many who have piped in on this topic in one way or the other over the years – John Dewey, Alfie Kohn, Ivan Illich, Gary Stager, Seymour Papert – to name a few.
Our attempts and challenges
We attempt this at our small, independent secondary school. We are somewhat successful…and we struggle with some aspects.
We believe that students have a right to make choices in all aspects of their lives. The principle is: "we are dependable & accountable for choices, actions, & commitments".
Are we punitive about lates, absences, cell phone and Facebook use (Farmville and Fishville!)?
Do the students meet the curriculum expectations required by the government policy makers?
That is the question that we ask. That is the discussion we have with the students. We encourage and support them in making wise choices that will allow them to succeed in those areas. They have the freedom to make their choices (as long as it does not, of course, negatively impact the group).
I'm not saying this is all easy.
Ego gets in the way
…we choose to ensure compliance through marks.
In fact, there are two major issues we face in attempting to implement a more 'democratic' school that will empower students in these ways. One is the ego of the teachers. We, as staff, work hard to prepare the learning environment in order that students may meet certain curriculum expectations. If students are late, absent, inattentive, unfocused, or don't 'love' the activity as much as we hoped they would, we can often become defensive and move to a more authoritarian stance where we choose to ensure compliance through marks.
Empowering or enabling?
The second issue with which we struggle is the distinction between empowering students and enabling them. If we are too democratic…too willing to let them make choices…about behaviour and about academics…are we enabling them to be more lax than they might otherwise be?
We don't have all the answers – not by any stretch. But, we know that we must educate not subjugate.
We Make Mistakes and Don't Even Know It
We go through the world observing and interpreting, making decisions based on what we see and experience. But many of those observations and interpretations are wrong. Plain and simple. Wrong. But we carry on as if we are right. In fact, we don't even know we are wrong. So we aren't aware that we have misread something. Is this a problem?
…we don't even know we are wrong.
I have been reading Why We Make Mistakes by Joseph T. Hallinan. He has made me think about this some more and to ponder the implications for our students/youth in particular. How might we address these issues with students to increase their awareness, their mindfulness. Hallinan gives the classic example of the 'table top' illusion.
These table tops are identical. Don't believe me? Measure it. Print it out and cut it up. Or, take them to PhotoShop and play around.
"Turning the Tables" was created by Stanford professor, Roger N. Shepard. It demonstrates "not only that our perceptual machinery is deeply entrenched in our nervous system but that its operation is totally automatic". So we can't even choose to see it for what it is – a bunch of lines in 'flatworld'* – but we automatically impose our meaning from the real 3D world on it. Our brain circuitry is triggered to see the tables in three dimensions. Hallinan also suggests that even worse, we don't even know we've been tricked. We've made an error – but we don't know we've made one.
…we can't even choose to see it for what it is.
Should kids know about this? I sure think so. How can kids 'be in charge of their own learning' if they are not aware of automatic and hidden errors. This looks to me like another reason to focus on helping kids to learn to be mindful – to be aware of their brains and how they work.
Thoughts appreciated.

Utahns still aren't sure whether they support the construction of the Lake Powell Pipeline, but the state senate is already on track to hear a bill that could help fund it.
After a Wednesday afternoon hearing that attracted an overflow crowd, the Senate Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Standing Committee voted 5-2 to support SB80, which would create a water infrastructure fund and divert a 1/16-cent sales tax to it. That sales tax, which according to testimony generates more than $30 million a year, is currently dedicated to funding transportation projects, but Sen. Stuart Adams, the bill's sponsor, said that money was originally intended to fund water projects.

What player got the better trade return, Vanek or Pominville?

Vanek had less games left than Pominville but Buffalo covered more salary with a higher %, so that kinda evens out. But comparing Moulson to Larsson and Hackett, easily Vanek got the better return.
BUT...if you consider what Pominville's 1st got, a pick that slid up after Minny slid down the standings, and then ended up with a Zadorov sliding to that spot, that's quite an improvement on the original deal. So if Vanek's 1st can turn into a mid-teens pick and result in a high end prospect his return still wins. If not it might end up a tie, but I doubt it since Moulson will likely return another 1st or better.
I dont look at who was drafted---just where the expectation was of where the pick ended up.
At the time of the deal Minnesota looked to be a division winner so the first was expected to be mid 20s, the 2nd was expected to be mid 50s. Minnesota closed poorly thus the pick moved from mid 20s to 16.
The expectation on the Islanders pick this year is it will be 12-20, while the 2nd pick would more likley be in the low 50s.

If they get a 1st for Moulson (especially if it's a 2016 1st), I'll lean towards the Vanek deal netting them more.
why a 2016? Id rather have a 2015. I want the rebuild to be short.

Dont see that much of a difference to be honest. 20% this year for Vanek this year < what was retained for Pominville.

I dont look at who you drafted with the pick. You didnt know where the pick would be so you estimate where you think it would be. The issue of who they drafted is really irrelevent in this.
Judging the Vanek return is a bit harder imo, unless we were to trade Moulson, because then we'd know what Moulson's value is. If Moulson returns a 1st rounder from a playoff team, the return would look fairly similar I think. If the return is about equal, then Vanek got the better return due to his contract status.
the 1st and 2nd wash out.
Its Moulson vs Hackett+ Larsson
If Moulson walks then the Vanek deal returns less. If Moulson returns a 1st + player/2nd then its worth more than Hackett + Larsson.

Blesk Cleaning Professionals gets wrapped by DTG
Blesk Cleaning Van is a great example of a high end partial car wrap and custom reflective safety lettering job.
L et's face it, if you do not advertise you will never grow as a successful business. A car graphic is a moving advertisement that works 24/7 day or night, and when parked. I have personally doubled my business by wrapping my own beloved Jeep Wrangler. It looks cool and gets plenty of attention for sure. And the printed, laminated vinyl actually protects the original finish of the car. Completely washable and weatherproof, you vinyl car wraps and lettering can last for years and years without fading or peeling. UV coated, and durable, with the most vibrant colors on the market today. Very easy to maintain, just wipe with a moist cloth and water. Because the vinyl surface is so smooth and slick, all you have to do is just wipe the dust off and you are ready to roll. Relatively low price and quick turnaround time of a partial wrap made it very attractive for the guys from Blesk Cleaning
Reflective Media
We also add reflective lettering and graphics to the cars. Reflective lettering is great because it is very visible at night so that your advertisement and branding is seen day and night. Reflective graphics are also a great safety feature, making your vehicle more visible in low light conditions.
So we started with a nice plain and quite boring Mercedes Benz fleet extended cab... After designing and cleaning it up, we were able to transform it into something very cool and attractive. Professionally designed custom graphics and lettering which are very easy to read and get right to the point. This type of job can be completed reasonably quickly if we can settle on the requests of the customer. We have an incredibly fast turn around time with compromising quality. Our experience and a very skilled staff as well as the latest state of the art printing techniques make all this possible. Guys from Blesk Cleaning were very happy and brought in three more cars for us to wrap in the same fashion.
Vinyl graphics are becoming more affordable and everyone has embraced this great innovation that has been growing ten-fold in the past 15 years! So Give us a call and join the revolution.

Patna, Apr 6 (UNI) Akhil Bhartiya Vaishya Mahasammelan today called for unity among the members of the Vaishya Samaj to get their due representation in power and legislative bodies including parliament and state assemblies across the country.
In a rally organised at historic Gandhi Maidan here, the president of the Mahasmmelan Girish Kumar Sanghi said the members of the Vaishya Samnaj should maintain rock like unity to achieve their goal of getting due representations in power.
''It is not sufficient that some members of the Vaishya Samaj are ministers at the Centre and in states, they should also occupy the post of Chief Minister in states'', he said adding the aim would remain unfulfilled if the message of unity was not propagated in far flung areas.
He announced to give Rs 2 crores from the Mahasammelan for construction of a hostel in Patna for students of the Vaishya Community.
He exhorted the members of the Vaishya Samaj to take advantage of the loans being distributed by the various nationalised banks to promote their business.
''They should also participate and cooperate with the government in implementation of the various welfare and development schemes of the government'', he added.
Speaking on the occasion, union minister of company affairs Prem Gupta said the Vaishya Samaj had contributed a lot to the nation in pre and post independence era of the community. He exhorted the business community to remain united to achieve their goal of getting due representation in power.
Addressing the rally, Bihar deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi said the Nitish Kumar government had done commendable works in the interests of the Vaishya community. He said the NDA government had removed taxes to be levied in Bazar Samitis and reduced the taxes on several items resulting into increase in their business.
''Nitish Kumar government had established the rule of law in Bihar and businessmen were now feeling safe which was not the case during the previous Lalu-Rabri regime in the state'', Mr Modi said and added that they had been allowed to open their units seven days a week.
Earlier,the businessmen had to renew the registration of their units periodically after certain duration, he said adding the practice was now over as they would not be required to apply for renewal once it was registered.

Friday Finds
Every wander in a store and find an item at a great price and then see "why" it was a great price? Well that was the case with this 9″ brass pineapple. It was a misfit, but for $6.00 I had no problem bringing it home with me. I guess someone thought it'd be useless because it's missing a couple of tips. Well given the fact I know I'm not perfect and got a few broken wings myself, I figured it'll be fine for me.. who am I to judge right?? One thing about me.. I'm not the perfectionist type (and please know, by no means, I'm not knocking anyone who is). My home is filled with vintage items, so I'm used to things not being "perfect". I've been looking for a bigger one (without paying $80 to $120 for it) and they're extremely hard to come by. Even though it was badly tarnished, I knew my trusty "Barkeepers Friend" could handle that part, especially after seeing how it brought the coat rack back to life. However, the broken stems.. oh well.. can't do anything about that.
After polishing it and setting it out.. I think it'll do just fine
With it being shiny and clean, the two broken stems aren't so noticeable
The brass crab was another find at a yard sale for $3.00. Ever since I saw this one I've been wanting one. The only difference, mine is a trinket box (which is larger) instead of a bottle opener.
When I created my Antler tray I knew I'd have fun styling it. My motto "patience is a virtue" (plus the mere fact of re-directing my spending habits) really pays off.
I'm definitely satisfied 🙂 with the style of the tray.
I also found this brass candle holder for $5.00 at RestoreHabitat
Which looked great on my Thanksgiving table (I wish I had polished it before – but again it was a last minute decision)
Another find – which I showed on Instagram (because I couldn't wait).. and was also excited about was a black panther planter. I saw this during our Mountain trip, but it was actually a light, and it was $60.00 – I was very tempted, however, I really didn't need it as a light fixture, but it sure was fierce! It was the first I've ever seen.
And then this cat crept in my life… for $4.99
I haven't picked a plant to use in it just yet, or I may not put one in at all and use if for something else, but one thing for sure is I'm glad I found it!
That's all I have to share for now.. I'm sure you're out there shopping for holiday gifts, but in your travels and hunts – if you score a terrific find – don't forget to share using hashtag #urthriftygirlfinds to be featured on the next FridayFinds. As always – Happy Hunting while you thrift your house into a home!

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a gel glass technique for making a germanium-containing silicate glass for optical fibers and devices.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Monolithic gel oxide glass preparation has recently received increased interest primarily because of the striking differences in the fabrication of bulk glass when compared with conventional techniques, and associated potential advantages resulting from these differences, such as high homogeneity and purity. Gel glasses are formed from liquid precursors which undergo a solidification through a slow, continuous increase in viscosity. Theoretically dense glass is formed without exceeding temperatures more than 200� C. above the glass transition. From the initial through the final stages of fabrication, the material remains transparent, although it generally changes density by approximately a factor of 2 and changes bulk volume by approximately 80 percent. An exciting prospect is that multicomponent compositions which were difficult to fabricate by conventional techniques because of significantly different thermal characteristics of the individual oxide precursors can now be mixed to high homogeneity and formed to solid glass at relatively low temperatures.
Of particular interest are glasses in the binary GeO2 --SiO2 system because of their importance to lightguide fiber and devices. Germania (GeO2) is known to increase the index of refraction of silica glass. The cores of silica optical fibers typically include germania, which helps confine optical energy to the core when surrounded by a lower index of refraction cladding. Similarly, optical waveguides formed on a substrate typically obtain guiding of optical energy by forming a relatively higher index of refraction region surrounded by a lower index of refraction region. Other optical functions, including polarizers, diffraction gratings, directional couplers, delay lines, lenses, etc., make use of regions of higher refractive index material in silica. In nonoptical applications, glasses are used as passivating layers; for example, in semiconductor device fabrication, germanium is known to typically lower the temperatures at which a silicate glass will flow.
Most gel work done today is based on using a silicon alkoxide as the primary constituent; see, for example, Treatise On Materials Science And Technology, S. Sakka, Vol. 22, pages 129-167 (1982). Silicon alkoxides hydrolyze slowly and are easily formed into monolithic gels. Other alkoxides have been added to silicon alkoxide to form multicomponent monolithic gels, but appear to result in nonoptical quality glass; see "GeO2 /SiO2 -Glasses from Gels to Increase the Oxidation Resistance of Porous Silicon Containing Ceramics," J. Schlichting and S. Neumann, Journal of Noncrystalline Solids, Vol. 28, pages 185-193 (1982). Glasses containing limited amounts of GeO2 have been prepared using a colloidal gel, which can be prepared by hydrolysis to form a translucent solid; see U.S. Pat. No. 3,954,431, coassigned with the present invention. The rate of hydrolysis is typically too rapid to yield a monolith. While this was a suitable method of making glasses, the microstructure of the resultant material is such that it has to be heated to temperatures well above the sublimation points of the dopants in order to obtain a clear bulk glass. Typically the gel was fired at a low temperature, ground to a fine powder, and subsequently fused by injection into an rf plasma flame. As the concentration of dopant is increased, the degree of inhomogeneity resulting from sublimation is also increased. It is desirable to obtain germanium dopant levels which exceed the limits of the earlier technique used to make homogeneous glasses.
I have invented a method of making articles comprising homogeneous silicate glass that contains germanium. In this technique, a gel is formed comprising hydrolized tetra pentyloxygermane (TPeOG) and a partially hydrolized silicon alkoxide. The gel is then substantially dried. The presently preferred silicon alkoxide is tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), with others being possible.
The following detailed description refers to a method of making an optical component comprising germanium-containing silica glass by the gel technique. As used herein, the term "optical component" means an article that utilizes optical transmission through the glass produced herein. The term thus includes optical fibers, optical waveguides, and other optical devices, including polarizers, diffraction gratings, directional couplers, delay lines, lenses, etc. Also as used herein, the term "substantially comprising", when referring to a component of the gel, means that the component is present in sufficient amount to form at least 1 mole percent of the resulting dried glass. The term "metal alkoxides" refers to all of the metal alkoxides in the gel, with germanium, silicon, phosphorus, etc., being considered metals, according to the convention in the art. The term "homogeneous" means that the glass is homogeneous on a microscopic scale. This is typically apparent by the transparent, rather than opaque or cloudy, nature of the resulting glass. The high degree of homogeneity obtained is also characterized by low Rayleigh and mie scattering of the glass. However, the glass composition can vary on a relatively larger scale; that is, germanium levels can vary in the glass to provide, for example, light confinement in optical fibers and other optical components.
In order to use the monolithic gel method for preparing germanium silicate glass, a germanium-containing compound which was compatible with a silicon alkoxide had to be found. The most commonly used silicon alkoxide is tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), Si(OC2 H5)4. Some ordinal characteristics of the compound should be as follows: (1) the compound should be a liquid at or near room temperature; (2) the compound should be miscible with TEOS and a compound capable of hydrolysis; (3) the compound should hydrolyze at a rate similar to that of TEOS under similar conditions such that when mixed with TEOS, there is no segregation of the two liquids during gel formation. It is estimated that other silicon alkoxides, including methyl-, butyl-, and pentyl-silicates, are also suitable in their gel-forming properties, and are included herein.
A number of germanium compounds were examined, chosen first on the basis of availability and room temperature phase. They are given in Table I, and all are homologous to TEOS. These were combined with TEOS, water, acetone, acetic acid, various alcohols, hydrochloric acid, and ammonium hydroxide in various combinations to discern if a miscible OH-containing sol could be formed from them. The mixing was performed in various orders and at different temperatures. The response of interest was whether the material met the above characteristics.
TABLE I______________________________________Tetramethyloxygermane (TMOG) Ge(OCH3)4Tetraethyloxygermane (TEOG) Ge(OC2 H5)4Tetrabutyloxygermane (TBOG) Ge(OC4 H9)4Tetrapentyloxygermane (TPeOG) Ge(OC5 H11)4Tetrahexyloxygermane (THOG) Ge(OC6 H13)4Tetrapropyloxygermane (TPrOG) Ge(OC3 H7)4______________________________________
Tetra propyloxygermane (TPrOG), tetra butyloxygermane (TBOG), tetra pentyloxygermane (TPeOG), and tetra hexyloxygermane (THOG) had to be fabricated in the laboratory. The technique employed was similar to that reported by Johnson and Fritz; see "Tetraalkoxygermanes," O. H. Johnson and H. E. Fritz, Journal Of The American Chemical Society, Vol. 75, pages 718-720 (1953). A flask was fitted with a reflux condenser and dropping tube with a dry nitrogen bubbler assembly attached. A motorized stirrer with a Teflon shaft and blade was available for stirring the reacting mixture. The alkoxide to be bound to Ge was reacted in the flask with metallic Na to form the sodium alkoxide. The combination was stoichiometric. Initially this reaction is exothermic, and cooling of the vessel was employed. Toward the end, the reaction slowed and heating was used to increase the rate. The result of the reactions was in all cases a clear liquid. However, the product of the reaction with isopropyl alcohol was very viscous at room temperature. GeCl4 was then titrated into the sodium alkoxide. This reaction to form the Ge alkoxide and NaCl is also exothermic, and external cooling was again employed. After the reaction was completed, the NaCl was removed by centrifuging or vacuum filtration. Then the clear liquid was refluxed to remove excess GeCl4 and alcohol.
In the search for a compound having characteristics suitable for monolithic gel formation with TEOS, the response of interest was precipitate formation before or during gellation. It was known from previous work on colloidal gels that germanium tetra chloride, tetramethylorthogermanate, and tetraethylorthogermanate were all miscible in TEOS; see above-noted U.S. Pat. No. 3,954,431. However, in this early experience, there was nothing to indicate that the rate of hydrolysis could be slowed to the point that they could form a monolithic gel. To further explore the possibilities of using the methyl and ethyl oxygermanes, they were refluxed individually with TEOS for several hours. The objective was to discern if any prereaction could be achieved which would slow down and homogenize the rate of hydrolysis. Combination of the refluxed mixture with other possible OH donors added in small amounts led in all cases to precipitation of a white material in the liquid sol, presumably GeOHx. Cooling of the mixtures and compound to the point where their viscosities barely permitted mixing was also ineffective. Again, the common failure was the formation of a white precipitate.
The above organometallics are the only ones found to be commercially available. Several germanium alkoxides of higher molecular weight are listed in Table I in addition to those discussed above. TBOG also hydrolyzed too quickly in all tested conditions to be a practical germanium dioxide precursor. TPrOG was too viscous at room temperature to be considered practical. THOG was viscous at room temperature and so not easy to work with.
I have found that of the germanium alkoxides listed in Table I, the only one suitable for monolithic gel formation with TEOS is TPeOG. Having obtained germanium alkoxide, which showed promise of forming monolithic gel, more specific experiments were performed. Mixtures of TEOS and TPeOG were combined with other liquids listed above and permitted to gel. This procedure further defined the possible combinations. The more promising were TPeOG, TEOS, H2 O, ethanol, pentanol, and HCl. The latter was used as a catalyst; see "Glass Formation Through Hydrolysis of Si(OC2 H5)4 With NH4 OH and HCl Solution," M. Nogami and Y. Moriya, Journal Of Noncrystalline Solids, Vol. 37, pages 191-201 (1980). The following experiments were done to investigate this system. TEOS was mixed for several minutes with deionized water in molecular ratios, r, of 0.7, 1.33, and 2 moles of H2 O/mole of metal alkoxides. Then the hydrated TEOS mixture was combined with the predetermined amount of TPeOG and pentanol; and 0, 0.026, and 0.053 moles HCL per mole of alkoxides. The compositions formed are shown in Table II. The samples were put into 9 cm-diameter pyrex dishes and covered. Initial volumes were 50 cc. Duplicate samples of each mix were placed in a room temperature (23� C.) environment, and in an oven at 50� C. open to the atmosphere, and allowed to gel. All samples gelled within hours of final blending. Following gellation, the room temperature samples were placed in the oven with the others. The total time at 50� C. was 2 weeks. Subsequently, the materials were dried further at room temperature in a dry N2 chamber. After a month, pieces of the samples were fired at 750� C., 900� C., and 1000� C. for 8 hours in an electric resistance muffle furnace open to the atmosphere. The furnace was heated at 20� C./hour. Following soak, they were cooled at the maximum furnace cooling rate.
In addition to the foregoing, the following comments are noted: it was found that TPeOG could be combined with the hydrolyzing liquid, including H2 O, up to r=4, before precipitate formation was evident. This combination of TEOS, TPeOG, and water is aided by cooling the liquids to be combined. The most promising OH donor we have found thus far is water. However, acetic acid and acetone are also possibilities, among others. The best way to combine the reactants was by first premixing the H2 O with Si(OC2 H5)4, forming a homogeneous solution either by addition of ethanol or heating to approximately 40� C.
TABLE II______________________________________Reactant Content (Mole %)Sample TPeOG TEOS H2 O C2 H5 OH C5 H11 OH HCl r______________________________________111,211 7 17 17 32 27 0 0.7112,212 7 17 17 32 27 0.5 0.7113,213 7 17 17 32 27 1 0.7121,221 6 12 25 33 23 0 1.3122,222 6 12 25 33 23 0.5 1.3123,223 6 12 25 33 23 1 1.3131,231 6 10 30 32 21 0 2132,232 6 10 30 32 21 0.5 2133,233 6 10 30 32 21 1 2______________________________________
In these initial experiments, a fixed combination of TEOS and TPeOG was mixed with three different water contents and those each with three different catalyst contents; see samples 111-233 in Table II. The average expected concentration of GeO2 in the resulting glass from the samples ranges from about 30 to 36 mole percent.
After gellation at 23� C. or 50� C., the samples were examined to discern strength, transparency, color, number of breaks, homogeneity, Ge content, and bubble content; see Tables III and IV. In Tables III and IV, subjective evaluation of the factors shown were conducted, and a scale of 1 to 4 assigned: 1=worst, 4=best. On the basis of transparency, the r=2 samples which were initially held at room temperature could be eliminated. These were opaque white after drying. Additionally, several other samples from both gelling atmospheres which had the highest acid content were also opaque. In all cases, phase separation of the organometallics is the expected cause. The r=2 samples which were gelled at 50� C. had a white coating on their surfaces, indicating a segregation during gellation. The specimens which were held at room temperature for gellation showed the same problem for the slower gelling samples: those with none or the middle amount of catalyst and low water content. Therefore, regarding homogeneity, fast gellation can be considered an advantage if precipitation can be avoided. After further drying at 50� C., all the room temperature gelled samples which had not previously gone opaque white did so, with the exception of the sample containing the highest acid concentration at r=0.7. In addition to this sample, the r=0.7 and r=1.33 samples which were gelled at 50� C. remained transparent and homogeneous. These stayed this way through the further drying at room temperature.
The next important response is the size of the resultant dried pieces. All of the samples had broken in at least several pieces. Of the seven specimens which were transparent and homogeneous after gellation, the pieces averaged 1 cm2 �0.3 cm thick. The largest piece was approximately 4 cm2 �0.3 cm thick. This was the sample gelled at 50� C. for which r=1.33 and no HCl was added.
Pieces of all the samples, regardless of gelled condition, were fired to 750� C., 900� C., and 1000� C., all in air atmospheres according to heating schedules described above. In only one case, sample 112, did the condition of the initially unsatisfactory specimens improve with heat treatment. Specimen 113, which was gelled at room temperature to fairly good transparency and homogeneity, fired to a slight opalescence after 750� C. After 900� C., it was mostly opaque white, and after 1000� C. it began to foam. This is characteristic of samples having entrapped alkyl groups. After all firings, the samples which were gelled at 50� C. with r=0.7 cracked into very small fragments of clear glass.

The 50� C. gelled samples having r=1.33 fired to clear glass at 750� C. exhibiting only a slight amount of scatter indicated by a blue hazy appearance. The samples exhibited the least scatter of any, with 221 and 222 being scatter-free after the 900� C. firing, even when illuminated with an He-Ne laser. There was evidence of foaming in these samples after the 1000� C. heat treatment. Slower heat treatments eliminate this. Additional breaks occurred in these samples during the firings. The specimens made with no or 0.026 molar acid catalyst broke in only one or two more places. The highest acid content specimen broke a bit more extensively during the higher temperature firings. The 50� C. gelled r=1.33 samples with low and medium catalyst content, 221 and 222, showed the best prospects for preparation of GeO2 --SiO2 glasses. Samples of the above gels were analyzed by TGA at 5� C./min. from room temperature through 1000� C. prior to firing to discern the temperatures at which the OH and alkoxides were removed. The TGA curve for the best gel (sample 221) shows the following: a 7 percent weight loss occurs over the range of 50� C. to 150� C., and indicates primarily the loss of adsorbed H2 O; the curve is relatively flat from 150� C. to 350� C.; and shows a 5 percent weight loss over the range of 350� C. to 500� C., indicating the loss of absorbed H2 O and residual organic material; above 500� C., a 1 weight percent loss of organic material.
The refractive index at 0.5893 microns is 1.4920, indicating that the samples have a lower germania content than anticipated. The refractive index, thermal expansion coefficient (4�10-6), and glass transition temperature (695� C.) suggest a composition containing 28 mole percent GeO2. This lower than expected amount of GeO2 incorporation in the final glass is believed due to alcohol impurities in the starting TPeOG.
It has been shown that for other monolithic gel-forming systems, the microstructure of the gel is dependent on the initial water content of the solution. The preparation of glasses through the monolithic route with low water content, such as reported here, generally leads to extensive polymerization. If the water content is significantly in excess of that required for complete hydrolysis, then the resultant gel is formed of colloidal particles. With this type of gel, the objective water content should exceed 10 moles/mole for good monolithic gel formation. The advantage of the higher water content is fabrication of larger pieces of monolithic gel, but firing temperatures several hundred degrees higher are generally required; see Nogami (above). Such high water silica gels were recently formed, dried, fired, and drawn into low loss fiber; see "New Optical Fibre Fabrication Method," K. Susa et al, Electronics Letters, Vol. 18, pages 499-500 (1982).
The TEOS-TPeOG monolithic gel system discussed here is apparently limited to an amount of water only sufficient for complete hydrolysis if homogeneity of the initial solution is to be maintained. The extensive polymerization with numerous partially hydrolized metal ions is a favorable reaction when the system contains organometallics with such different hydrolysis rates. Partial prereaction of H2 O with the slower reacting compound, TEOS, as was done in these experiments, favors homogeneous solutions and resultant gels. The extensive polymerization and partial crosslinking seem to promote low temperature densification, generally in the region of Tg (glass transition temperature). However, if hydrolysis is incomplete, alkyl groups can become entrapped in the small pore structure of the glass. This can cause bubbling in the glass at temperatures above Ts (glass softening temperature). The solution is very slow heat treatment and temperature soaks at the critical temperatures observed in TGA. For these experiments, heat treatment at 20� C./hr. seemed to be sufficient to avoid the high-temperature bubbling.
The best results in the above experiments were obtained with samples 221, 222, and 223, containing 1.33 moles of water per mole of alkoxide which was gelled rapidly at 50� C., left a month to dry at room temperature in a dry box, and then fired at a rate of 20� C./hour to 900� C. and held for 1 hour. A wide range of compositions have been fabricated with good properties using similar fabrication methods. With modifications to the above preparation procedures, glasses covering the complete GeO2 --SiO2 binary can be made.
When making optical devices, the present technique is typically used to form a relatively thin glass coating on a substrate or a small piece of bulk glass. Subsequent operations, including etching, diffusion, or implantation of various dopants, can be performed. When making an optical fiber, a series of cylinders of differing diameters can be made by the present technique. The cylinder walls can be made relatively thin, typically on the order of a millimeter, to minimize problems of cracking when drying the gel. The smaller cylinders can be inserted into the larger ones to form a preform from which an optical fiber is drawn. The preform can be collapsed to eliminate the center hole prior to drawing the fiber, according to techniques known in the optical fiber art. Other geometries and operations can be used to make optical fibers and devices using glass made according to the present invention.
When still lower optical loss is desired, additional removal of water (OH) from the glass can be accomplished. For example, drying in chlorine at an elevated temperature will remove additional water. Other dopants, for example, phosphorus, boron, fluorine, etc., can be included in glass made by the inventive technique. These can further modify the refractive index, or melting point, or thermal coefficient of expansion, or other properties according to considerations known in the art.

Are your lungs permantly damaged even if you stop smoking after smoking for a decade?
Not necessarily: It depends on what kind of damage was present before you stopped smoking, and this varies highly between smokers, based on how much they smoke, how deeply they inhale, and genetic and environmental factors as well. The lungs can completely heal after smoking cessation, although the dark pigment will not go away. If damage has been done, some healing can also occur, but isn't usually 100%. ...Read more

Lung (Definition)
Deoxygenated blood enters the lungs from the right side of the heart and travels to the lungs. When you inspire, oxygen flows into the lungs, transverses the capilliares and attaches to hemoglobin down a gradient. At the same time, co2 diffuses into the capilaries and is expelled with exhalation. Oxygen rich blood then flows to the left side of the heart and into the ...Read more

We all know the stereotype; apathetic teenage mothers with no interest in work and a "yeah but, no but" attitude, epitomised by such figures as Little Britain's Vicky Pollard.
But earlier this month, a leading thinktank muddied the waters with a report that claimed means-tested benefits such as child tax credits, designed to help the neediest families, had acted as a poverty trap by discouraging parents from working. The Institute for Fiscal Studies also highlighted how many people who are unemployed or on low incomes face a struggle if they go back to work or increase their hours.
So, financially speaking, is it worth going back to work? Guardian Money decided to investigate.
Samantha McMahon, 21, a single parent who lives with her 11-month-old son Courtney in a one-bedroom flat in London, had worked full-time since the age of 17, but stopped when her son was born. "I'd never been on benefits before and was amazed and confused with all the things I was entitled to. Despite what people may think, living on benefits is a real struggle sometimes. I wanted to get back the independence I used to enjoy as soon as possible. I wanted to go back to work."
Samantha is not alone. Many find the tax credit system hideously confusing. Single parents stand to receive a mix of means-tested assistance based on their financial situation and hours worked. In addition, there is a childcare element which subsidises costs up to £175 a week for a single child, and £300 a week for two or more children.
Having lived on benefits for a year, Samantha started a new job this week, earning £15,000 as an administrative assistant in west London. She does not receive money from the Child Support Agency but relies on a net weekly wage of £230, plus £238 a week in combined working and tax credits, and £17 a week in child benefit. This has left her better off by £69 a week - a significant sum perhaps, but the bulk of it comes from an extra £40 a week "in-work credit", payable by the local authority for 52 weeks to some lone parents who return to work. When this expires, she will be better off by £29 a week.
Did all this affect Samantha's decision to return to work? "Not really," she says. "I know it's not much, but £15,000 is just a start for me, and hopefully my wages will get higher, matching or bettering the credit I get now.
"To be honest, I didn't even know about the extra £40 until I went to the job centre. Any incentive is good, but I think more people would consider going back to work if it was offered with less restrictions."
A shortage of social housing meant Samantha was obliged to move into private rented accommodation, an option that has proved costly for both herself and the taxpayer.
"I am grateful that I've been able to get a flat, but in some ways I think the solution is a temporary one. The council should invest more money in building basic flats which are cheaper for everyone and can give people like me a more affordable incentive to go back to work. Living in a top floor flat with no lift, a heavy buggy and paying a private landlord is not ideal."
The IFS report found that the government's twin strategies for helping people on low incomes - direct financial support, and encouraging them to earn more - conflict. "There is no easy solution to this trade-off," it adds.
So does Samantha feel it will be worth it? "Sometimes I feel bad that I left Courtney in a nursery at such a young age, but in the end going back to work was an easy decision to make. Ultimately, I'm doing this for him. I want to get my career going and give Courtney the best start in life. After all, it's his future which matters most."

"You don't know you you're talking to, huh? Let me give you a quick Wikipedia-page-worthy summary. I'm Mynus Trilio, the oldest, most destructive, lethal, unpredictable person to ever walk this planet. I have wiped out villages within hours. I have killed men, women, and children. I have literally taken candy from a baby. I'm the reason a certain type of tiger went extinct. If it weren't for me, Hitler would've never gotten his debut. So, if you please," He threw me a sadistic smile, "show me a bit more respect."
Dear Reader,
This isn't your typical damsel-in-distress story. It's a damsel-in-distress-gets-destroyed type of story. There is no savior, there is no good protagonist. This is the beginning of a corrupted, dark-humored, disturbing life. The good will not exist by the end of this. Only the bad.
The bad has a name. It's Hell. The good also has a name - it's Heaven. But Heaven has it's downfalls and Hell has it's advantages. They both share the same name - Trilio. Neither of them get along with each other. They haven't talked for a very long time, but that was all about to change. Because I needed answers.
My answers laid in the hands of the Trilio twins, and I was going to get them even if it meant Hell would freeze over.
Unluckily for me, he did.
