The politics of childcare are heating up. Here's why.
All parties are desperate for measures that will make life easier for hard-pressed families. Affordable childcare is an obvious candidate.
By Gavin Kelly Published 27 October 2012 22:28Often an issue only gets the attention it deserves due to a shift in the wider political context. And so it may be with our creaking childcare system. Despite unprecedented increases in public support – and major improvements - it's still the case that during the Labour years childcare never received anything like the concerted attention going to schools and hospitals. Even now when surveys come out showing the cost of childcare racing ahead of inflation (never mind wages), they tend to be buried deep inside newspapers while increases in rail fares or petrol prices are splashed across the front pages. In political and media terms childcare has long been seen as a second-tier issue.
This may, however, be changing. Part of the reason is straight politics. None of the parties like what they are hearing in focus groups about the absence of ideas that would make a concrete difference to living standards. Labour still has a long way to go to recover the ground it lost with working families – particularly among modest earning women: recall that at the last election the Conservatives had a massive 16 point lead over Labour among C2 female voters, reversing Labour's towering 18 point advantage among the same group in 1997. Meanwhile Conservative strategists are fearful that their current strategy of appealing to so-called strivers (even while reducing their tax credits) by making a big play of bearing down on other less deserving groups, may at some point run out of road. Prior to the next election it may be met with the obvious retort from the working population: ok, but what have you actually done to improve my plight? That's a question they don't want to be asked. For their part, the Lib Dems remain frustrated that their efforts to lead the debate on expanding early years provision has gone almost entirely unnoticed – in part because it hasn't been connected to an account of making it easier for families to combine work and home.
Of course, there is no single remedy to the multiple causes of the squeeze on living standards – and improved childcare is a very long way off being a panacea. It will be by no means universally popular. The great majority of voters don't have young children. Some people vehemently resent more support for those with kids. Others will say that families should have someone at home.
But the costs of inaction – both economic as well as political – are mounting. It's fairly well known that childcare costs in the UK are very high and account for a large chunk of family incomes. (It's less widely understood that for many families there has actually been a fall in the share of their incomes spent on childcare – though that trend has been impeded by the recent cut in tax credit support for childcare costs, as the chart below shows).
Childcare costs as a % of after-tax income
Source: OECD, and Resolution Foundation childcare cost model, 2012. Childcare costs for family with two children aged two and three in full-time care, as a % of net family income, in 2008 and 2012. Black horizontal lines on the pink bars show what 2012 levels would have been had childcare support through tax credits remained at 80% rather than being cut to 70% in April 2011.
These costs weigh very heavily in the decision a couple takes as to whether to be dual or single earning. Indeed, in the context of falling real wages the only way many families will be able to protect, never mind enhance, their living standards is to work more hours. Obviously that's no easy task given record levels of under-employment. But let's just assume that extra hours are available, and consider whether or not families would be better off from the second earner taking them given the costs of childcare.
Worth working? The impact of childcare costs
The chart sets this out for a stylised, typical middle income family with two young children. It assumes the first earner, the man, works full-time and the second earner, the woman, is deciding how many hours of work to undertake (apologies for the gender stereotypes, but it still reflects the norm).
It is a chart that politicians should pause over. There is some incentive for the woman to work for about 13 hours at which point the family is £4,500 better off a year than if she stayed at home. Beyond this further hours of work actually make the family worse off as the cost of childcare, and the withdrawal of tax-credit support, outweigh the post- tax gains from higher earnings. (This chart would look even bleaker if it was a for a low income working family with each earner on the minimum wage: they would only be a measly £300 better off a year if the second earner works 25 hours per week, and after this more hours of work makes them worse off).
What should we take from this?
The first point concerns how this problem is interpreted by different parts of the political spectrum. It says something about today's politics that some on the Tory right (in contrast to a few modernising Conservatives) react to it by saying that the trouble is too much state involvement, and the answer is to liberate families by ending direct childcare support replacing it with tax allowances for those with children. It's hard to know where to start on this: for many low and middle income families the cost of childcare is so much greater than any plausible increase in tax allowances that this would without doubt consign the second earner, overwhelmingly the woman, to staying at home (leading to an immediate hit to living standards and a permanent loss in earnings potential); lots of those who are low paid and work part-time don't pay any income tax so would gain zilch from these tax allowances; and in any case many low income working households would see the majority of the gains from tax allowances immediately withdrawn under Universal Credit. The list goes on.
A more reasonable interpretation is that, despite the progress made since the early 2000s, our childcare system still falls far short of the type of support that would enable many working families to hold down two jobs. If Britain is to make strides in catching up with leading advanced economies in terms of female employment (never mind shifting gender roles) that urgently needs to be remedied. And if we care about childcare quality then one way or another it will mean spending more. We're not going to deregulate our way to Scandinavia.
Second, and perhaps equally challenging for both left and right, is that relying heavily on a means-tested approach to supporting childcare has severe limitations. It necessarily results in punishing marginal tax rates for those on modest and middle incomes, as tax-credits get withdrawn. So whilst for the foreseeable future there will be of course be a role for means-testing, any new support should be broadly shared rather than highly targeted.
Third, none of this is revelatory. It's known to leading people across the political parties. To varying degrees, they are already concerned about this issue. All are anxious that their showy empathy on family living standards is increasingly grating with a weary electorate. All are uneasy about their lack of cut-through policies particularly for working families. All nervously wonder whether another party may make the first move on this terrain, and if so how they would fund it in the context of austerity.
True, it would be foolhardy to predict an upward bidding war on childcare given the sweeping scale of the cuts to come. But only a fool would think the best course of action is to stick with the current half-formed system of childcare when the case for building on it – not least in terms of employment - has never been stronger. Expect childcare to feature in 2015 like never before.

By 'affordable' does this article mean 'subsidised'? In which case, who should pay the extra tax to pay for this subsidy?
No such thing as a free lunch....
Follow the Scandinavians in all things. High taxes and excellent welfare provision. They have the world's highest living standards. They don't spend huge amounts on weapons of mass destruction and don't worry aout not being at the "top" table.

If you cannot afford to care for YOUR children yourself or to pay for somebody to care for YOUR then maybe you shouldn't have any children!!!!! Because I really don't see how you can justify taking even more of my taxes off me to pay for somebody to look after YOUR children. Life is hard for us singles too and I pay all the same taxes as you working couples with children. Please, next time you are advocating spending all of our money on YOUR children; spare a thought for the rest of us.
The cost of caring for the young is as great a scandal as the cost of elderly care. Quite so. How strange it all must seem to people from places where one's family is still the only provider of any available care.
I telephoned my sister; a little concerned about a certain ice-cream salesman, that had wandered into my local take-away nissed as a pewtwith bottle in hand, and then went on to state that he had also been a football referee for a Tameside group.
I had asked one of his self-stated children from one of his marriages what her fathers surname was, and she sad "I have forgotten".
Of course in 1987 after years of abuse had gone into hospital for protection, as was married to a bad one, she told me not to bother about the issue and not get involved, she was of course to tell me she had been as a teacher concerned one of her pupils was a target of padophiles, but decided not to bother "In the child's interest", of course at the time she did not want to state she wanted to retire with a pension and not go to Court as a whistleblower, and have to go through with the experience. I then a few years later when off all medication remembered that she ran a kiddies football team also in tameside.
Now if I had spoken about it, declared a 'nutter' and not listened to, of course she still protects my brother whom shared my wife and is St Holy Joe, whom was the cause of my condition with threats of death in my life. My wife died two years ago from conditions obtained whilst going through the sailors list at Cardiff Docks, my brother has similar condition and tells his wife he caught it abroad when in Borneo, as he has told the grand-daughter and son, and his wife whom could not believe he was a barsteward behind her back, or is comfortable hey Holy Joe has no morals, kidnaps a son and family,off a father that stayed in a bad marriage to save our son from people from groomers like Holy Joe, so there you have it a wasted life and both my ex-wife a saint and my brother and awaiting a medal of the Pope for sevices to child grooming.
Seems that people in hospital and in the NHS are too busy protecting children to protect what has been and whom alike Jimmy Savile wore a Green Beret, mentioned in Despatches, though his lie, and was going back to Singapore to marry the Asian he told my wife had his child cut out of her womb and had died.
I had an apology off the NHS for years of medical abuse, not written, but verbal and were at long last allowed to be part of society and run my business.
Two years ago I had a letter from no-where when he asked "You not dead yet you bast*rd", so goit into touch with friends at Graig-Yr-Rhacca where I has been a councillor for, and found out she had died and was being buried with full police honours at my then church. She was once to come home chuckling she had got off a drunken charge for sleeping with a police officer, and the connection with him and his friends continued. When I had stopped sleeping with my wife as had a third dose of VD etc, she was to declare to my son, my brother, and the Caerphilly Liberal 1987 Candidate she had also slept with I was a queer as was not sleeping with her, seems when my brother had gone with my wife, whom I told him, "do not go there as has disease", he laughed and said "Jealous because I am getting it and you are not?", indeed saidto my son tell my wife I have gone to get petrol, and then went to"fix my wifes television and came back seven hours later", Yes the die had been cast and my son gave no defence of his father, indeed he had already been promised his home when he dies, so my lay-about son accepted as it helped him be the Chair of a certain castled town in South Wales as a political chair. Hey that is the system, and all protect each other - luckily I have now a good woman and smells clean and does not bring home her diseases for the family, the Saint of GYR had indeed encouraged her son to sleep with underage girls so she could be off and doing her things, so he unaware of what she was accepted the offer. He is now in politics and her family knew she was underage - apparently he told them when he gets the house when his mam and dad die it will go to her, their child, whom was also a relative of the 1987 Caerphilly MP whom lives in Twickenham.
Tell the people the truth and get locked away for your own safety, or to prevent corruption and scandal coming out. I was a councillor for Machen too!
"Candidate for Caephilly MP as a Liberal" , indeed he went into the local press as saying he would visit every house, I think he managed every other house that was licensed the pubs and that is all -a waffler that brought a female Alderman down from London to Caerphilly, and whom my wife had asked not to be there or he would not be nominated. When she got home after the meeting to discus the issue, she grabbed the phone and said I have the candidate in my pocket, of couse in secret he chose a Sally Leader to be his agent, and my ex-resigned from politics in frustration. Someone had matched her in her Conservative family values.
The man from Twickenham ex SAS officer and all that! whom approves of shotguns and freedom to have them ....and likes Vince Cable and Alexander the Inverness MP.
Beware whom you are kidded into voting for folks.
Many lies never arrive at Court! Neither do many truths.
Deregulate our way to Scandanavia (Catchy but far from true!) The report is Dutch deregulation which is not Scandanavia, chek your geography. Scandanavia, eg. Norway is just as heavily regulated, if not more so than the U.K., and has a far better deliverance of child care at the nursery level.
The cost of caring for the young is as great a scandal as the cost of elderly care.
Having had experience at both ends of these markets, in many cases, helpers/carers are poorly paid and what services are provided are sometimes sadly lacking, sometimes criminally so. So I presume the motive behind these businesses is profit not the provision of care.
Politicians will say whatever they feel is necessary to be returned to power, to retain their influence and with it the wealth that influence brings.
Once in power, forget the promises, pledges etc., it's business as usual.
To presume differently is to ignore the obvious evidence.

To me, there's nothing greater than that feeling of having a full bank balance on payday and thinking up all the fun and innovative ways to get rid of it all.
I get high off of bargains, from beating the system. It makes me feel self-sufficient, if not a little self-satisfied.

Getting out of the injury zone, part two
by Kyle BoddyOctober 25, 2012
(My apologies in getting this article out far too late. Life circumstances and such got in the way.)
In Getting out of the injury zone of Getting out of the injury zone, I discussed a machine learning algorithm that took PITCHf/x variables and attempted to predict what combinations could indicate future injury to pitchers. Today's article will focus on the scouting part of the equation.
The need for high-speed video
I've been a vocal advocate of high-speed videography for a long time now, and strongly believe all clubs should have the capability to record consistent video clips of their pitchers from a variety of angles. Consumer-grade cameras with high-speed capabilities are falling in price, and combined with wireless technologies and synchronization software, videos could be made available to interns over the wire at near real-time speeds. Having a library of high-speed video (example: Mark Appel scouting profile) would be incredibly useful for scouting purposes—and biomechanical analysis methods, too.
What people call "pitching mechanics" needs to be more specifically defined. There are two ways of understanding the movement patterns of pitchers:
Kinematics describes what the body is doing—for example, the humerus (upper arm) is internally rotating (accelerating) at 5000 degrees per second. Kinematics does not tell you the load on the various levers, joints, and pulleys involved in the process. An example of a basic static two-dimensional planar analysis would be:
A two-dimensional kinematic analysis can tell you a fair amount of useful information if you have a suitable control object of known size in the shot (we use pitcher height in these images, which isn't exactly the most reliable indicator)—a ruler or surveyor's rod in the shot would do the trick. I've shown what you can capture in my articles, so if you're interested in those, go Kyle's THT Author Archives for plenty of examples.
Two-dimensional video clips with frozen frames can give the coaching staff and front office an insight on how a pitcher looks like at various checkpoints in the delivery (industry-accepted values such as Stride Foot Contact, Maximum External Rotation, Ball Release, etc), which can help if a pitching coach is trying to effect a particular change in mechanics. It's impossible to evaluate changes—even seemingly large ones!—with the naked eye or at 25-30 frames per second of a regular camcorder. There's also very actionable data for trainers from side view high-speed video—for example, pitchers who have a significantly internally rotated humerus and a significantly flexed elbow at/near Stride Foot Contact (SFC)...
...will accumulate greater stress in the late-cocking phase of the delivery, as inertial load of the baseball is higher in the Maximum External Rotation (MER) position. While it's simple to say "Don't do that," changing someone's motor patterns with a snap of the fingers is basically impossible. Extremely fine motor control is a learned behavior over years—decades—of repetitions, and even subtly altering these movement patterns takes a lot of time, effort, and specific instruction geared to making it stick. So, while the person is making changes (or not, as the case may be), trainers can help mitigate the stress caused by this particular flaw. (The details of such methods will be discussed in the third article of this series.)
However, a planar kinematic analysis cannot give you detailed measurements, such as angular velocities of particular body parts. For that, you need a multi-camera setup that combines two or more cameras into a three-dimensional representation of the movement in question. PITCHf/x uses a calibration system much like my biomechanics lab does:
With those detailed measurements, you can then get the actual joint loads on the body, which is called...
Kinetics describes how the body is doing what it's doing—or really, what forces are being generated as a result of a particular movement pattern.
A simple way to think about it:
Kinematic Measurements + Measurables = Kinetics
Measurables in this case would be the pitcher's weight of his humerus, upper arm, shoulder, torso... hmm. How would you know that information? You can't readily weigh someone's upper arm or torso without some radical surgery that is likely to leave the patient in bad sorts. Fortunately, some research scientists figured out a way to estimate these values:
In case you can't read it, you can find the abstract over at Pubmed (Adjustments to Zatsiorsky-Seluyanov's segment inertia parameters).
If you're thinking "That sounds incredibly error-prone," you are absolutely correct! Consider this: To calculate kinetic data, you are taking a multi-level derivation of positional data. Here's the stepping logic:
-Position: The spatial location of a point in space. Measurement error is the biggest issue here.
-Velocity: The rate of change between two points in space.
-Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity.
-Force: Mass times acceleration.
If what you want to study is the force on a particular joint of the body (assuming a rigid body structure), you have a lot of sources of error there. Especially when you consider the collection method involves manually digitizing each point on the body you want, for each frame of the video, for each video in the camera, for each camera used on a pitcher...
Right. I think you get where this is going.
Is there a better way?
It's possible to capture data in a laboratory setting using markers on the body, much like American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI) does:
By using highly reflective markers—and some interesting math—you can create a representation using multiple cameras to film the subject in motion. While measurement error is no longer an issue, two problems arise. The first is minor, but does affect consistency—how do you know the researchers are applying the markers in the same location every time? While there are specific instructions for placement (place on the distal elbow at the olecranon process, for example), there are bound to be errors here. The second is a major issue that gets glossed over: Release velocities are NOT identical in the lab and in a game situation! The reasons for this are varied, but the largest is pretty obviously the fact you are covered in sticky markers, throwing off a turf mound, into a net, in a lab.
Let's investigate that problem a bit further: We know that velocity is not the same in the lab as it is in the games. Can we assume that the drop in velocity is constant between pitchers? And furthermore, do a pitcher's mechanics meaningfully change when they throw off a turf mound under analysis as compared to a game situation when they are throwing much harder? And do the angular velocities, accelerations, and forces all scale predictably between their lab results and game results?
Even if you could get a precise calculation of joint loads, you wouldn't know the tension on the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), the labrum, the distal elbow, or the various rotator cuff structures—all common areas of injury. Due to anatomical variations, muscle fitness, and combinations of movement patterns, it's impossible to say "The UCL is under X Newtons of force at this point in the delivery."
Despondency with the methods
OK, OK, so it all sounds bad - there's no real way to get a true answer. However, that doesn't invalidate the fact that data collection can be useful. A true three-dimensional setup may not measure specific numbers X, Y, and Z, but it could very well give us answers anyway! It's entirely possible that collecting live kinematic game data and analyzing it using statistical methods (regression, machine learning, data mining, etc) could yield very useful results. Given the fact that consumer-grade cameras are inexpensive and a setup as described in this article can be built by laypersons (yours truly, for example), it could absolutely grant an edge in scouting to teams—where such edges continue to disappear.
Meanwhile, advances in wearable technology will continue to improve—at Driveline Biomechanics Research, we've partnered with MotionShadow to trial their outstanding non-intrusive kinematic collection system, and we're hard at work on a WiiMote-based solution that captures pitching arm kinematics (specifically interested in the relationship between forearm pronation timing vs. maximum internal rotation velocity). These technologies could be useful for low-cost fast-track analyses, provided that release velocity stayed close to competition release velocity and pitching mechanics were not significantly altered.
By combining the data collected from a high-speed video setup, wearable computing data, and PITCHf/x data, you could start to explore some seriously interesting frontiers for both performance enhancement and injury prevention. In part three of this series, we'll talk a bit more about the details of the applications of this technology.
Kyle Boddy is the owner of Driveline Baseball and Driveline Biomechanics Research, both in Seattle, Washington. At his facility, he's melded statistical analysis, strength & conditioning, prehab/rehab, and advanced biomechanical analysis concepts to develop improved efficiency, durability, and fastball velocity of baseball pitchers. He is the author of The Dynamic Pitcher, a comprehensive book and video set dedicated to developing elite youth baseball pitchers.

Teacher changes lives despite lack of resources
Shekema Silveri 1 of 40 outstanding K-12 educators recognized with Milken award
At a time when many talk about what's "wrong" with education, there are many talented teachers making a positive impact in our schools.
A great example of an educator who's making such an impact is Shekema Silveri. She is an Advanced Placement (AP) English teacher in room 110 at Mount Zion High School in Jonesboro, Georgia. Silveri says she loves her students and gives them her best every day. Her students feel the same way about her -- some even call her Momma.
Silveri allows ANY student to sign up for her class. There are no requirements, but she says students have to be up for the challenge. She builds confidence in her kids by having them justify their perspectives and evaluate their reasoning, while at the same time teaching them the importance of getting an education.
Mount Zion Senior Jeffrey Wallace had this to say, "We take a look at every aspect of how many great contributions we've made to America and the world as a whole, as opposed to being inside an AP U. S. history class where we predominantly talk about European history, I think it's awesome that I come inside an AP literature class and get the whole lesson that includes African American history. I believe this is great for my self confidence."
Mount Zion is a Title I high school where you won't find the latest technology. This forced Silveri to find creative ways to keep her students engaged. While some classrooms don't allow cell phones, Silveri encourages her students to use them. The students look up definitions for the word of day with apps like dictionary.com and conduct research for assignments on their phones. She also believes they write more when communicating via blog and Twitter. The high school teacher integrates other multimedia into her lessons by having her students give PowerPoint presentations along with shooting and editing video.
This is what Junior Allyissa Young said after giving her first PowerPoint presentation in front of the class, "I was really not a talker, but presenting my project in front of the classroom helped me to open up. I know being able to express myself to others will give me a lot more opportunities."
In 2011, Silveri was one of 11 teachers in the state who had a 100% student passing rate on all of her standardized tests. Her innovative teaching style also earned her a Milken Educator Award that same year.
Each year the Milken Family Foundation recognizes 40 outstanding K-12 educators nationwide with the Milken award, which is called "The Oscar of Teaching" and a cash prize.

Connecticut College News
Connecticut College wins Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization
03/10/2009NEW LONDON, Conn. - Connecticut College has received the 2009 Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization from NAFSA: Association of International Educators, the world´s largest professional international education association. The annual award recognizes outstanding and innovative efforts in campus internationalization. Connecticut College is one of five institutions this year to be selected to receive the award, named for the late Senator Paul Simon (D-Ill.), a strong supporter of international education and advocate for international exchange. "Connecticut College provides extraordinary opportunities for international study and research, and prepares our students for the unique challenges of a global society," Connecticut College President Leo I. Higdon Jr. said. "This award recognizes our strong international programs, our internationally diverse student body and faculty, the variety and depth of our language instruction and the contributions of faculty and students who study and conduct research abroad." Connecticut College has offered successful international opportunities for nearly 70 years. More than half of all students study abroad and the college has established long-term relationships and affiliations with institutions that offer students a variety of academic programs in more than 50 countries. In addition, Connecticut College offers its own Study Away/ Teach Away (SATA) program, in which a small group of students and one or two faculty members spend a semester together at a host institution in a different country. The program was created in 1999 to provide opportunities for students and faculty to study together in developing countries, including Vietnam, India and South Africa, which continue to be some of the most popular SATA destinations. The program has since been expanded to include some European locations where faculty members have significant research interests. On campus, international faculty and students infuse a cross-cultural perspective into the curriculum, programs and campus culture. In the college´s Knowlton Language House residential hall and dining facility, students gather to practice one of the many languages studied on campus, including French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Spanish and, most recently, Arabic. The college´s well-known Toor Cummings Center for International Studies and the Liberal Arts, which was established in 1989 to help meet the challenge of an increasingly global society, offers the college´s most comprehensive international program by promoting global thinking across academic disciplines and encouraging students to become politically concerned, social engaged and culturally sensitive. The program allows accepted students to internationalize any major with a combination of special coursework, an overseas internship, language study and a senior project. As a 2009 Senator Paul Simon Award recipient, Connecticut College will be profiled in-depth in NAFSA´s annual report, "Internationalizing the Campus 2009: Profiles of Success at Colleges and Universities," which will be published in the fall of 2009. The college will also be recognized, along with fellow recipients Boston University, Pacific Lutheran University, Portland State University and University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, at the NAFSA annual conference in Los Angeles in May. NAFSA announced the award winners today in a news release. About NAFSA: Association of International Educators NAFSA: Association of International Educators is a member organization promoting international education and providing professional development opportunities to the field. With nearly 10,000 members, NAFSA: Association of International Educators is the world´s largest nonprofit association dedicated to international education. About Connecticut College Situated on the coast of southern New England, Connecticut College is a highly selective private liberal arts college with 1900 students from all across the country and throughout the world. On the college´s 750-acre arboretum campus overlooking Long Island Sound, students and faculty create a vibrant social, cultural and intellectual community enriched by diverse perspectives. The college, founded in 1911, is known for its unique combination of interdisciplinary studies, international programs, funded internships, student-faculty research and service learning.

A Divisive Video Brings a Divisive Question For The Sift--Are We The Same?
Creationism: This is of course a very popular held notion in the United States of not only how the Universe arrived here, and how human beings did as well; this is in a time span of 10,000 years. This is a purely religious question, not even one of faith (although it can be if you don't ascribe to the "anti-science" proof or find some aspects of the belief hard to handle). It's one of: are you with us or against us. Atleast some turn it into this: science vs. religion. Some go to great lengths to try to create anti-evolution texts and "science", but none so far has been peer reviewed or documented as being fact or close to truth. (Hopefully, I haven't rilled those of you that DO think like this as we really don't need a Anti-religious/Evolution/Anti-atheists/Zealot flame-war... But if it happens I know tempers get heated with this subject.)
Theistic Evolution: This tends to be the religious believers and outsiders that have decided that, YES, science knows what's it's doing. They accept the major findings of science and adjust their religious world-view to compensate--typically. The belief that evolution has occurred exactly as the description in "Evolutionary scientific texts" has is NOT exactly as they hold it. They instead supplement "fate based" evolution into the system. As I said they believe that fate you could say, has been tampered with as life and its beginnings were not merely just "random chances", they only appeared this way from our point of view (atleast to scientists). Instead a God has manipulated life from its DNA and Genetic levels from the beginning of time some four Billion years ago to make sure that humans became possible and also made sure that they were the dominant forms of life on Earth. Not only that, but he made sure we would end up exactly as we are--in other words like an engineer that has finely tuned his masterpiece of a 100 story high-rise, God engineered DNA and you would have to say time and events as well, to make sure humans became the Apex Predator that we now are. From there you must decide what way you wish to go: typically the God of Abraham is the one that has done this as told by his believers. This is also known as Intelligent Design as God interfered and no real 'natural selection' nor 'survival of the fittest' took place as fate was already secured for humanity.
Evolution: Fairly straight forward. At some point life began, not only were there dominant variations of genes (like brown hair versus blond hair) and more successful ones (like ones that allowed you not to get sick as much)--natural selection playing its necessary role, but there were things such as the well known "survival of the fittest": the strong survive and the weak fail... With all of these working together plus the fact that there were even MORE complex evolutionary tidbits at play that are not covered here. Such as our immune system which is partially based on the grand-daddy of the Anthrax virus--this means that we played host and symbiont or perhaps a symbiosis of sorts; this means that much of what is in our body may be a literal WORLD of OTHER creatures and once symbionts--previous notions of HOW our body arrived at its final destination may be a FAR, FAR, longer tale than we ever imagined... One example of this in the present is yogurt! Bacteria is usually thought to be harmful to us, but with yogurt we have formed a mutually beneficial setup: it is allowed to live in us, using our body as GRAND cities and meanwhile it helps US digest our food! This type of relationship may have lead to developments of new organs to house the "good" or beneficial team players, perhaps even MAKE THEM, and in turn they provided us with the great things they already do. much like the grand-daddy of Anthrax, who you would just assume is a bloodthirsty human killer...
THIS is the very foundation of evolution. It isn't always the killing "survival of the fittest", but it certainly is about the "best" surviving and best is a hard thing to define sometimes, especially so now! When life gets complex and savagery is no longer the main driving force behind every encounter, then we have to look even deeper in the grand scheme of things in evolution; symbiosis, the harmony between to alternate species can bring about new leaps in evolution that were once not seen. Who knows what else we are missing in this wondrous world. But for sure the species that can best adapt to its surroundings, to claim an ownership of sorts over the land and even the seas..they are the Apex predator and our intelligence is what drives the greatest advancement in evolution the world has ever seen.
Extraterrestrial Evolution -- Accident or Purposefully: This is ALMOST like theistic evolution or intelligent design--with HUGE caveats, but the designer while intelligent is one that has undergone your average evolutionary experience, we would assume (typically, but the answer could be any of the four--or an endless pick of choice four...it's popular in some Sci-Fi novella--IT ALSO could be something we literally do not have covered here), BUT they are NOT divine nor are they of Terrestrial origins. That's right! E.T. made us! That old but popular choice, I also think that this also fits in with those that want to pick "RANDOM ACCIDENT" for their choice. Like mars once having life, but somehow a rock from Mars happened to have a meteor strike that flung a piece of very hardy bacteria hiding away on a rock (BTW, we know now that bacteria can be VERY HARDY--so this little trip is feasible if improbable) landing at the right spot on Earth to give way to: Life (this of course being improbable, but just maybe NOT impossible). THIS type of event does not require an intelligent alien to deliver the DNA that started the process for life. So this really is a unique origin. It's possible life could hitch a life on another celestial object, but it must be traveling relatively slow when it hits us--that almost NEVER happens. It should be mentioned that the life brought here by aliens could just be a random selection of DNA they decided to plant/seed the planet with OR it could be engineered to do very specific functions. Each having far different implications.
The reasons for aliens putting us here could list as high as we wish to dream. BUT, the usual suspect may be that they don't wish to be alone. Humans procreation is considered to be one of the most prized reasons for living. Perhaps this is merely an extension of that same philosophy. BUT, TRULY alien life, IS ALIEN, if you truly understand how GREAT a difference in who we may be to each other you'll know that trying to understand them using our logic, philosophy, rules, and psychology may be as foreign as me telling you why an Amoeba decided to create us...
Truly alien. BUT, do you think it was them, is it too far-fetched and do they even exist at all? Would something that might be so possibly different than us be able to conceive of us in a DNA strand down a thousand species lines.... Or did they care for that, did they literally WANT us to be different, something new, so that one day they could return and fulfill their own mystery...
THESE are Origin choices; what is our origin?
Those are the choices, I added in the last one for fun to see if ANYONE believes it; I think it is actually better than the top two choices on a scale of absurdity, but that is my own bias talking. In a recent survey in the U.S. this same poll resulted in:
The Gallup Poll Found (2012)--BTW My descriptions are "slightly different in nature", but you should be able to relate:
Creationism (Human Beings created as they are now presently, in the last 10,000 years): 46%
Theistic Evolution (Intelligent Design): 32%
Evolution: 15%
Hopefully this poll works well on the Sift.

- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. In a flameproof casserole, heat the oil, then sizzle the bacon for 5 mins until crisp. Turn up the heat, then cook the lamb for 10 mins until brown. Remove meats with a slotted spoon, turn the heat up to maximum, then add the onions, carrots and mushrooms. Cook for about 5 mins until starting to colour, then stir in the flour. Return the meat to the pan with the herbs, and pour over the wine, stock and Worcestershire sauce. Season, then cover and braise in the oven, undisturbed, for about 1 hr 20 mins.
- After about 1 hr, make the topping. Tip the flour and herbs into a large bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Add the butter and mix using a fork. Make a well, then add the lemon juice and 3 tbsp water. Gently bring together to make a soft dough. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to about 5mm thick, then cut into rounds using a 7.5cm pastry cutter. Re-roll the trimmings, then cut out more rounds until the dough is used up. After 1 hr 20 mins, take the casserole from the oven, remove the lid, then arrange the circles of dough, overlapping, around the edge of the dish, sticking bay leaves between them. Brush with egg and bake for 45 mins until golden.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, March 2008
Comments, questions and tips
As others have commented i will halve this as there are only two of us, and im going to make the 'stew' part ahead then all I will have to do is make the topping. Im not sure about the scone topping and my fella really loves his 'old fashioned' suet dumplings, so i think i will give those a go for the topping. So no changes really apart from the topping. mmm cant wait i can almost taste it already:o)
I used beef and sadly it wasn't very tender but I think it was the cut of meat I used... it was listed at the German Butcher as Goulash Beef so I thought it would work. The veg and the sauce were out of this world so I will definitely try again if I can get hold of the lamb neck!
I wasnt a fan of a cobbler topping though as mine also failed to rise and it was a brand new pack of flour.
What a winner! I used diced shoulder and it was fine. I was impressed with the herby scones, although I didn't roll them as thin as suggested after reading the comments, I zapped the flour and butter in the food processor to make breadcrumbs before adding fluid, as I am a simple soul and thought simply mixing the butter and flour together wouldn't mix it enough.. Comfort food of the highest order.
I made this yesterday to take to my daughter and son in laws for lunch today to celebrate the birth of my first grandson.This is the second time i have made this and it was again beautiful. (although not as beautiful as my grandson)
Everything was perfectly cooked the only change i made to the meat was i cooked mine in my slow cooker. The herby scones rose really well and were extremely tasty even though i used dried herbs as i didn't have time to go out for fresh.

Manga fans of my age should be familiar with this name. This romance hit in the 80s by Takahashi Rumiko was so popular that it was re-made into anime, TV drama series and eventually went up to the silver screen.
(Internet image)
In case you are wondering, no, this post is not about manga appreciation, not just yet. Today instead, I want to share with you this new cool coffee place in the Arab Street neighbourhood. To name their joint after this manga hit, the folks behind it must be really in love with their manga. Curiosity led me to Kandahar Street this week to find out more.
Housed in a three-storeyed shophouse, the place consists a café, a boutique for men's wear on the second floor, and a third-floor bar which is set to be opened in November.
Your coffee here is prepared by baristas trained by Tokyo's Streamer Coffee, with your choice of brewing method. (My lesson at The Steeping Room came up handy.) The café menu also offers light bites like sandwiches and cakes to complete your experience. There is also a brunch menu for your weekend coffee sips.
Wasabi Egg Sandwich ($10.9)
The amount of wasabi in it was strong enough to give the kick, but not too much that would otherwise make you start crying.
Beef Striploin & Horseradish ($13.9)
Loved the appetizing horseradish dressing for my greens.
Literally translated to 'House of Moments', this concept café seeks to provide patrons a sense of 'freeze in time'. Vintage wardrobes and the use of recycled doors as your coffee tables added an extra touch.
I was told you would see the upper halves of these wardrobes when visiting their fashion boutique.
We spotted a keyhole on our table.
It was a much enjoyed evening and nice meeting with the friendly chaps who run this place. I will be back for brunch soon, definitely.

Oct. 1, 2013 — The first time I visited Herlong High School it was a dark and stormy night during basketball season. I was new to Lassen County and even newer still to my role as the Lassen County Times' sports editor. I punched the directions into the GPS app on my phone and followed the voice of Google for 45 minutes down dark country roads and a seemingly endless highway until I got to the turnoff for Herlong. As I made my way through the town and Google told me I was approaching my destination, I have to admit, I was freaked out. It was dark, didn't look much like a town, and most of what I could make out through my headlights were cracked sidewalks and boarded up windows. I reached to my left and jabbed at the button that reassured me my car doors were locked as I wracked my brain to remember if I had actually told anyone where I was going in case I never returned, which seemed like a distinct possibility.
Oct. 1, 2013 — Your Community; Your Newspaper; Your Life.
That's the theme for this year's National Newspaper Week celebration Oct. 6 – 12.
This year's theme only re-enforces the way Feather Publishing has always viewed its role in the community. This is your newspaper. The paper you are holding in your hands right now is produced in partnership with you. Our goal each week is to give you a snapshot that accurately reflects the community that we all share.
Sept. 24, 2013 — Lassen County residents and those living in Northeastern California undoubtedly will remember the moderate 5.7 magnitude earthquake that shook our region last May. That event should be a wake-up call that we truly do live in earthquake country.
While geologists cannot accurately predict when or where an earthquake will strike, a temblor could occur at any time in any part of the Golden State.
We encourage all our readers to be prepared for an earthquake. Information on the seven steps to earthquake safety is available at earthquakecountry.org, the website of the Earthquake Country Alliance.
Sept. 24, 2013 — Herlong businessman Tom Hammond, 58, takes the oath of office today as the new Lassen County District 5 Supervisor. Hammond defeated veteran supervisor Jack Hanson in the Sept. 10 recall election.
According to Hammond's statement of qualifications filed with his nomination papers, he is a businessman and entrepreneur who owns and operates "one of the most visible and successful businesses in the fifth district, The Mark."
Hammond wrote he has lived in Lassen County since 1984, and his 39 years in the grocery business give him "a unique insight to the best interests of the local community."

{User asked question} | title | url | timeago | Q&A votes | answer count

I have seen similar ideas come and go but haven't yet found anything under active development. So my question is did I missed out something and is there something already out there like that. Just don't want to waste time to re inventing the wheel.

When six Americans take refuge in the Canadian embassy in Tehran during the 1979 hostage crisis, U.S. government agent Tony Mendez turns to Hollywood for help. Working with a producer and a makeup artist, he devises a rescue mission that centers on the creation of a fake film production company scouting locations in Iran.
This is the fourth Academy Award nomination for Grant Heslov. He was previously nominated for:
Nominee, Writing (Adapted)
Nominee, Best Picture
Nominee, Writing (Original)
This is the second Academy Award nomination for Ben Affleck. He was previously nominated for:
Winner, Writing (Original)
This is the eighth Academy Award nomination for George Clooney. He was previously nominated for:
Nominee, Actor in a Leading Role
Nominee, Writing (Adapted)
Nominee, Actor in a Leading Role
Nominee, Actor in a Leading Role
Nominee, Directing
Nominee, Writing (Original)
Winner, Actor in a Supporting Role
Grant Heslov: I know what you're thinking: the three sexiest producers alive. I want to thank the Academy, this is truly an honor. There are literally thousands of people to thank, so thankfully I'm not going to thank them now. I'm going to thank everybody personally in the next few weeks, but there are a couple of people I want to acknowledge. I want to acknowledge my partner in crime and my great friend, George Clooney, who everybody should be so lucky to have a partner who is talented and as humorous and who has as much integrity. I want to thank my beautiful wife Lisa. You make everything better. And to our kids, Maya and Olivia. I love you guys. I hope your old man's not embarrassing you up here.
The reason I wanted to speak first, before Ben was Ben is a producer on the film and he is also our director. And I thought it would be awkward for Ben to thank himself, but it's not awkward for me. So on behalf of George and myself, I want to thank you, Ben. You directed a hell of a film. Couldn't be more proud of the film. Couldn't be more proud of Ben. So ladies and gentlemen, our co-producer and the director of Argo: Ben Affleck.
Ben Affleck: Thank you very much. Thank you very, very much. I know eventually that thing is gonna start to go so forgive me if this is a little bit quick. I want to acknowledge Steven Spielberg, who I feel is a genius and a towering talent among us. I want to acknowledge the other 8 films, there are 8 great films, that have as much a right to be up here as we do. I want to acknowledge them and thank them for what they did and for many of them who didn't even get nominated this year. I want to thank Jack McNiece, Jerry Speck, Marty Brest and my brother and my mom and dad and Patrick Whitesell and Tony Mendez, who let us do his story. Thank you. I thank everyone in the movie, on the movie, worked on the movie, did anything with this movie gets thanked.
I want to thank Canada. I want to thank our friends in Iran living in terrible circumstances right now. I want to thank my wife who I don't normally associate with Iran. I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It's good. It is work but it's the best kind of work and there's no one I'd rather work with. And I just want to say, I was here 15 years ago or something and I had no idea what I was doing. I stood out here in front of you all, really just a kid. I went out and I never thought I would be back here. And I am, because of so many of you who are here tonight, because of this Academy, because of so many wonderful people who extended themselves to me when they had nothing to benefit from it in Hollywood. You know what I mean, I couldn't get them a job. I want to thank them and I want to thank what they taught me, which is that you have to work harder than you think you possibly can. Can't hold grudges. It's hard but you can't hold grudges. And it doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life because that's gonna happen. All that matters is that you gotta get up. Violet, Sam and Sera, this is for you.
