Teaching Interests
Dr Goacher teaches courses in the areas of analytical chemistry, instrumental analysis, and environmental chemistry. She also teaches career and communication (presentation/writing) skills in the Biochemistry/Chemistry senior seminar course, and has previously taught inorganic chemistry.
Research Interests
Dr. Goacher is an analytical chemist whose current research themes include a) the ageing and weathering of wood-polymer composites, b) the biodegradation of lignocellulose (wood, plants) for use in biofuels and value-added bioproducts, c) the evaluation of techniques for determining the order of inks deposited in forgeries for forensics, and d) the analysis of commercial pharmaceuticals for potency.
In addition to evaluating multiple instrumental methods for these analyses, Dr. Goacher brings expertise in surface analysis, specifically in the use of Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) to characterize solid materials. Ongoing collaborations with the University at Buffalo and University of Toronto enable the use of ToF-SIMS and other state-of-the-art instrumentation by Niagara University students. Her work in Toronto resulted in the development of a ToF-SIMS assay for the detection of enzymes active on complex wood substrates, and began several ongoing collaborations on related topics (ambers and petrified wood, and evaluation of enzyme activity on wood using Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy).
Dr. Goacher also is active in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) and is collaborating with other NU faculty to evaluate ways to establish a safe learning environment for the flourishment of student discussion and active learning.

Shaping a sustainable future
Sustainable action at all levels is a key strand of our corporate culture. Treating people and the environment with respect is just as important to us as managing the monies entrusted to us responsibly.
Our sustainability principles
UN Global Compact
Since 2016 we have been part of the United Nations Global Compact. This worldwide agreement between companies and the UNO aims to make globalisation more socially and ecologically responsible. The UN Global Compact is the world's largest sustainability initiative, with more than 12,000 signatories in 170 countries. By signing up to the Global Compact we have likewise undertaken to systematically comply with certain minimum social and ecological standards and to give account of our actions.
Our sustainable investments
On the asset side, VP Bank enables its customers to use sustainability mandates to integrate the ecological and social aspects into the investment process in greater depth. Further information on the mandates offered and their methodology can be found on the product page for special and sustainability mandates of VP Bank's asset management.
Our ecological measures
We support "Drink & Donate", an initiative to promote sustainable attitudes to mains water supplies and to encourage drinking water projects in developing countries.
We offer our employees financial incentives to use public transport and car share schemes.
We recycle waste paper efficiently and for many years now we have systematically employed digital tools and communication channels in order to reduce paper consumption.
We reduce our energy consumption by using energy-efficient technologies and applying a responsible, economical approach to energy use.
Avoiding waste
We separate paper, glass, cardboard, polystyrene, PET bottles and green waste and recycle these materials according to a detailed waste disposal strategy.
We offer attractive, modern employment conditions and are committed to continuous professional development.
Social responsibility
We have a variety of measures in place in support of a large number of philanthropic organisations, initiatives and projects.
Stakeholder engagement process to define material sustainability topics
We conducted a materiality assessment to identify the most important sustainability topics for us as a bank and for society at large. This was done through extensive engagement with a broad group of stakeholders and the outcomes were used to develop our Sustainability Plan 2025. The process and results are summarized in a short document.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is probably the best known poet and playwright of the English language. He is considered by many to be the greatest poet and dramatist of all time. The plays he wrote nearly four hundred years ago for a small theater in London are now performed in more countries and more often than those of any other playwright.

Satechi releases $40 mini router that fits in a purse, works as a repeater
If you've ever found yourself stuck in the only corner of a hotel room where the WiFi actually works, then Satechi may be able to get you back to the desk. Its Multifunction Mini-Router not only gives you a private, 300 Mbps WiFi access point from a hotel's wired internet, but functions as a repeater that can distribute a weak wireless signal elsewhere in the room, too. It also works as a standard home router, of course, and even has a bridge mode which lets you take an existing WiFi network and re-transmit it with a different name (and security), useful for combo networks like those in a cafe, for instance. Finally, the client mode lets you plug the Satechi box into a wired device like a Smart TV or set top box to give it WiFi capability -- letting you dodge the hefty freight of proprietary WiFi donglesoften not included with such devices. That's a lot of functionality for $40, but if we had you at "WiFi repeater," check the PR and video after the break.

LG GS170 / 420g
Info Photos News Forum 13 Reviews
Average Ratings
Very very nice device
I loved this phone for the single month I used it. It has fantastic reception, is very quick and responsive, and is just a nice phone.
Call quality is amazing, has a speakerphone which is also great. Great sound quality as well. People said I sounded very clear. Extremely loud ringtones!
Text messaging is super quick. I'm used to a texting experience on tracfone where I'll compose a message and then send it, where it will take a few seconds for a message to pop up telling me minutes deducted, that it's sending, and finally that it successfully sent. not so with this phone. 15 seconds were reduced to about 2.
The camera is surprisingly nice for such a low resolution device. Pictures were of slightly better quality than expected.
Has access to the ever expanding tracfone store, which is really neat.
Has the basic notepad/ calculator/ calendar/ alarm clock thing going on. All of these tools worked as they should have.
Everything this phone attempts to do it does wonderfully. I highly recommend this phone if you're with tracfone.
Simple, Elegant, Delicious
As you might have noticed from the FCC ID numbers on this phone's main page, it's identical to the LG420G for Tracfone. And that -- for both T-Mobile and anyone who might consider getting one -- is a Good Thing.
The 420G sports only 10Mb of memory, and it's not going to win anyone over with its multimedia capabilities, but as far as finding a simple device for making calls and sending texts, you can't go wrong with it. It's well-built, has a great screen (much better than the one on its Straight Talk slider counterpart, the 620G), and the earpiece produces great sound. The buttons are a bit clicky for my taste, but that's a subjective preference, really, and can't be held against it in terms of functionality.
The camera takes decent enough pictures, which fill the screen nicely when used as wallpaper. One drawback is the fact that the outer screen cannot be customized in any way on the 420G.
The glossy black finish drives me absolutely insane with fingerprints, but what can you do; I knew this would be the case when I bought it. Perhaps the T-Mobile version will fare better with its exotic Pepto Bismol color scheme.
I don't know that this sucker would be worth T-Mobile's current $60 asking price (sans contract, o' course), but it was certainly a good deal from Tracfone at $20. Though not advertised on the package, when the phone was activated, Tracfone's website displayed a message stating that it was enrolled in the Double Minutes program. I never received such a message on the phone itself, and have yet to add minutes to it, so I don't yet know if this was simply an error, or if it truly did come with DMFL. If so, this would certainly increase the 420G's already strong value.
If you're looking for a simple, well-built phone without all the knobs, levers, and doodads, and if you're sick to death of hearing about Android, give the LG GS170/420G a look. It's a fine example of competent, uncluttered function without pretense.
AD reviews continues below...
Bad call reception
Only bought the phone to make calls. I lived in two different areas that were supposed to have "moderate" reception. Both places I lived I could only make "Emergency Calls Only". Away from the house was very hit and miss. The place I live now is a 200,000 population. Same problem. I had another Android phone that worked great in both places. This was with T-Mobile and they replaced (after I paid) with another phone and I had the same problem. Changed SIMS Card. Same problem. T-Mobile won't work out any deals that don't involve extending the contract.
I can't comment on any other features of the phone since I didn't buy for anything but calling.
this phone is god for a flip phone
i acually like this phone. i have had it for 9 months at first i was ike no way i dont like it but now i realized its pretty good the way it looks is not the best but its ok. and its bettery life can last me a whole week :D its a nice phone for somone who just started having phones
pros: fast, nice camera, easy to text, good for internet, batterylife
cons: display, sometimes it freezes
Nice, basic phone
This is an attractive, good quality basic phone. I recommend it to anyone.
Basic, for the money.
I needed a temp phone for a week and chose the Tracfone LG 420g version. Great price at $20 and that includes DMFL as well. The Tracfone version is all slick black plastic, unlike it's T-Mo cousin, but seems tough enough. It's small & lightweight- fits great in your pocket. Has good basic features an a Small but brite screen, good call quality, loud enough ring-tones and good battery time as i could go 2 days between charging with heavy talk-n-texting ..The only real complaints i have is the Dinky screen and the VERY CHEAP-n-Plastic D-Ring, has no feel or definition to it-HORRIBLE.
-Bright Screen
-Good Call Quality
-Geed Battery Time
-CHEAP-n-Plastic D-Ring
-Small Screen
-weak vibrate
basic but decent phone
This is a basic but decent phone if you are buying this for web or MP3 player or taking pictures you will need to look at something else but if you want a talk and text device this warrants a closer look, it pulls a strong signal so far even in weaker areas. Nice display with strong color and good contrast. Big easy to read keypad, very good battery life.
No micro SD slot but 64MB of memory surprised me, no headphone jack it uses USB port to plug in included headset. No 3G or EDGE but with a basic device you don't really need it, North America use only as it doesn't contain overseas bands.
Nice feature set for a basic phone and so far seems reliable.
Bought this phone through a T-Mobile corporate store in Hayward, Ca. today and paid $59.99 plus tax. I currently am on their $50 Talk & Text Prepaid plan. I love this phone. Which is what I say about any LG phone I've used. It's perfect for what I use it for. I can also use all of my charging accessories I currently own, which is great. I also love the soft "matte" feel of the phone. The menu is taking some time to get used to, but overall it's worth the cost.

Internet privacy a major worry for readers
Proposed data retention laws, increased surveillance and the leaking of private information are some of the biggest concerns among readers who have taken part in The Age's series on privacy.
About 20 per cent of readers' concerns related to a controversial proposal being considered by the federal government that would force telecommunications companies to store the data of all Australians' internet activity for two years.
Many respondents said their data could be misused under the plan. One, Sean Fremder, described any move by the government to retain data as a "perpetual fishing expedition".
"This two-year mandatory data-retention program imposed on ISPs would be tantamount to the government having required Australia Post to open and photocopy every written postage item and keep that copy of the content for two years," he said.
Other readers feared the proposals would have a chilling effect on online communication or leave data collected by the government open to exploitation by hackers.
Increased surveillance, particularly through CCTV cameras, also cropped up as an important issue, with more than 10 per cent of responses raising this as a concern.
"I am particularly concerned about the street surveillance cameras, internet surveillance and road surveillance," one reader said. "I fear the young will not be able to make minor errors without them being held against them for life."
Another reader suggested new laws and licence fees to stop the spread of CCTV cameras: "Anyone with a CCTV camera or cameras that peer into public space should pay a substantial licence fee. That includes banks and speed cameras. It is an invasion of privacy and there should be a prohibitive cost to that."
The third most common concern related to privacy breaches, with some readers detailing incidents in which sensitive information about them had been leaked and used against them.
Others were concerned that cloud computing — in which large amounts of information are stored online around the world — increased the risk of private information ending up in the wrong hands.
The Age has received more than 150 detailed responses from readers in the past two days about their privacy concerns. Other issues raised included the storage of information collected by smart meters, online medical records and targeted advertising on sites such as Facebook.
A small number of readers, such as Richard Friend, said they had no concerns about privacy. "The benefits of using credit cards, loyalty cards and having CCTV in the city far outweigh any concern that someone else might know something about me. If that's what puts excitement in their life, who cares?"
The Age has launched a series on privacy and wants to hear from you. Email firstname.lastname@example.com, visit us on Facebook at facebook.com.au/theprivacyquestion or use the Twitter hashtag #ageprivacy.

Talk:Essay: New Ordeal
Who coined the term "New Ordeal?"--Franklin 10:50, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- It's common knowledge. Who coined the term, "Contract on Amercia"? RobS 10:55, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
No, it is not common knowledge. As for the "Contract on America" that was a democratic spoof of the the Republican "Contract with America" during the 1994 midterm elections--Franklin 11:02, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- I agree, I've never heard of the New Ordeal, and I'm not getting any quick info on it from Google. I think Franklin's question is valid - is it coined by the author of the sourced book? --Colest 11:07, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- Even the single reference for the page makes no mention of "New Ordeal", nor can I find any online reference to the term in this context. Is this a term that Rush has created or was it created by the author of this page? Boomcoach 11:09, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- Rational_wiki has some discussion of this likewise. RobS 11:25, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- Even the single reference for the page makes no mention of "New Ordeal", nor can I find any online reference to the term in this context. Is this a term that Rush has created or was it created by the author of this page? Boomcoach 11:09, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
I looked on rational_wiki. The term seems to be your creation, and the cited sources do not support your contention. The 1945 Time magazine article deals with the impending demobilization of U.S. troops at the close of World War Two, and the chart showing flucuations in the U.S. economy deals with the last few decades of the nineteenth century. If you are trying to construct some sort of argument about the New Deal (which did have its shortcomings) this is a very poor way to do it.--Franklin 11:35, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- Contract on America was a spoof? Really? Seems common knowledge spoofed New Dealers for 70 years and they didn't even know it. Must be more evidence that they did not know everything afterall, huh? RobS 11:39, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- Is it really too much to ask to drop the sarcasam and just state who coined the phrase? I'm not sure what rational_wiki has to do with this site, either. --Colest 11:41, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- It's been common knowledge for decades. RobS 11:42, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- The phrase may be common knowledge in certain circles, but I think it is not as widely spread as you believe it to be. --Colest 12:00, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
Hardly common knowledge. Where did the phrase come from? Can you cite that? Was it in Hayek's book that you cited (although I cannot imagine Hayek being so crass)?--Franklin 11:46, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- Well of course, given censorship, oppression, and the Fairness Doctrine for 50 years. RobS 12:02, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
Well, you are not being censored or oppressed. I have asked you to forthrightly provide your sources, and you have directed us to rational_wiki, where the cites did not support your contention. So, I ask again, what is your evidence for this term? Is it in Hayek or another source?--Franklin 12:06, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- I beleive I've answered several times. RobS 12:27, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
Actually, you have not. You have have been asked several times and you respond that the term is common knowledge. Show a little bit of intellectual honesty my friend.--Franklin 12:33, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- It also survives in oral histories. RobS 12:34, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
Wonderful! Many oral histories have been recorded and transcirbed in book or sometimes journal format. Can you cite some?--Franklin 12:37, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- Well duh, what does oral mean? RobS 12:45, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
Why did you revert my edit and remove my comment? I repeat: many oral histories have transcribed into printed form/ Can you direct me to a few where I might see this term used?--Franklin 12:42, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
- I'm sorry, hit the wrong button (meant to hit mark as patrolled). RobS 12:45, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
The only reference I can find is in the title of a 1948 book, reprinted in 1968. The book is referenced in Hayak's bibliography and a few other places, but I can find no usages of the term itself.previous unsigned comment added by User:Boomcoach

Where is this found?
I can't find any mention of this in the text at the bottom--it is totally unrelated. Can we take this out? Robs gave no answer above. FredK 15:30, 8 June 2007 (EDT)
- After looking around, I can find no source for this except conservapedia. Now that means either conservapedia is that good, or the whole thing is a
liea fiction. I think it is the latter. FredK 15:33, 8 June 2007 (EDT)
- Like all CP articles, it's a work in progress. RobS 16:25, 8 June 2007 (EDT)
Can't find it, either
A Google Books search on "New Ordeal" Roosevelt turns up thirteen hits, none relevant.
The closest thing to a relevant hit is The New Ordeal by Planning: The Experience of the Forties and the Sixties, by John Jewkes, which is an update to his 1948 book "Ordeal by Planning." A search in this book for "Roosevelt" turns up no hits, nor does a search for "New Deal," meaning that whatever he means by this, it is not a satirical takeoff on "New Deal."
I believe this should be retitled as an essay and "signed" by RobS and co-contributors. It is not an exposition of a well-established conservative locution (like "Death tax"); I think it's a personal essay and that RobS hopes to promote the use of an original or at least poorly-known coinage.
If a home-schooled student were asked, as a fill-in-the-blanks exam question, "What name is used to refer to the period of economic decline between the crash of 1929 and the Second World War," do you think he or she would get credit for "New Ordeal?" Dpbsmith 16:46, 8 June 2007 (EDT)
- I concur, thanks for your help and honesty. FredK 16:48, 8 June 2007 (EDT)
Why this kind jokes are kept here?!
If this is some kind of encyclopedia, please, delete. Refering to nothing... --Aulis Eskola 17:34, 8 June 2007 (EDT)
WP:New Deal
I think we're having an impact. Look what WP's been doing to its New Deal entry, they expanded the size of the chart. [1] One of these days I may even investigate the basis of that chart. Oh, they also deleted "Commies in the New Deal". [2] I didn't write that particular subsection, but much of what it linked to I did. RobS 16:58, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
New Cites
The two new "citations" have no apparent link to the article, any more than the first one does. The Time magazine article is about US troops coming back from WWII, and the book is part of an autobiography of FRD, and a fairly early colume of it (2 of 4). RobS, it loks like you are just grabbing anything from the 40's or 50's that has the word "Ordeal" in it. You appear to have created an article out of whole cloth. I don't know if this is a term a favorite prof once used, but to pretend that it is of any common usage outside of yourself is comepletely unsubstantiated. It has no place in any sort of encylopedia, unless you can show some relavent citations, not simply things that have a common word. You might as well se a citation about "New York in the 50's" because it has the word "New" init! Boomcoach 17:22, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
- Please feel free to improve the article. RobS 17:23, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
- It is an article about something that has no apparent existence. There is no evidence that there is anything to write an article about. It is just a name that you appear to have conjured out of thin air. Boomcoach 17:46, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
- Well we can do a redirect from Great Bear Market to here, but Great Bear Market only goes to 1942, it doesn't include the Malthusian catastrophe that followed, and the Recovery period. RobS 17:52, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
- This is the only incidence of this term, used in this context, I can find anywhere. Unless there's evidence otherwise, it can only be considered a personal essay. Which is fine, but it can't be allowed in an encyclopedia, surely? DoggedPersistence 18:17, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

Neither. You've concocted a clever phrase (do you work as a copywriter?! :-) ), more power to you, but it's just that - you wrote it, and there's no evidence whatsoever anyone other than you uses it. Therefore it can't really be allowed in an Encyclopedia. If there is evidence of its use that we're missing, just go ahead and provide it, and no-one will have the slightest problem with the article.

Since no one other than the author seems to be familiar with the term "New Ordeal", I propose an opening paragraph explaining the coinage of the term, for clarity's sake. Reasonable? Unreasonable?PaulP 23:53, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
- I'd like some guidance on an opening paragraph to explain the origin of New Ordeal. Could you provide an example maybe?PaulP 00:13, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- I thought it was quite obvious and to the point. RobS 00:33, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
This article's discussion page is locked. It is a somewhat bizarre article. I would humbly ask that if it is stay as a mainspace (non-essay) article, the primary author should, in one or two short sentences, explain the thesis of his piece. As it is, I have no idea what it is about. I certainly don't like the implication that right-wing extremist groups are Christian, but I'm sure I must be misreading that. Thanks.PaulP 23:07, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
- See the souricing on it. RobS 00:03, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- Thank you for responding. I did look at the article, the discussion, and the sources, but nothing pointed to a known usage of "New Ordeal". This make me think perhaps it was a creative, clever coinage of yours or of someone you know. It did go thru the citations in great detail. Perhaps this could be explained? PaulP 00:07, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- Frankly you have me confused; are you sure you have the right discussion page? RobS 00:54, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- How about changing this from a mainspace page to something like Essay: The New Ordeal, because it appears to be just that. It is an essay by RobS about a period to which he has given a cutesy name, either of his own creation, or an obscure reference earlier in life. It reminds me of going to college and using words that had become common in our home, but were euphamisms created by my mother or father. Boomcoach 07:37, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
This should be an essay and not an article. If you look at the discussion above that RobS had with Franklin, there is no source for the article. It is not of encyclopedic quality and should be removed.--Oldring 08:19, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- Well you need to show some edit history to show you have an interest in this subject or qualified to criticize other than just responding to troll bait right now. RobS 10:16, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
"Malthusian catastrophe that was World War II"
One other note: RobS mentions a "Malthusian catastrophe." Could someone explain this?--Oldring 08:22, 12 June 2007(EDT)
- I was wondering about that myself. It seems to be a suggestion that World War II was caused by world population outstripping resources, and brought back into balance by the war... but a graph of U. S. population looks pretty smooth, as does world population. There's a bit of a downward kink in U. S. population around World War II, but it isn't preceded by any obvious upward kink. Dpbsmith 09:53, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- Since the graphs' axes aren't labeled anyway, I think we can go ahead and read into them whatever we wish. Frederick 10:49, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- Thank you, Rob, for adding more citations. I'll spend some time looking at them to see if they support your assertion. Just remember that just because a document contains the words "new" and "ordeal" does not mean they were used to refer to "The New Deal". Also, if a ref is this obscure that we still haven't settled it over several days, perhaps you should just take full credit where it is due (as you have clearly worked hard on this) and call it an original work.Frederick 11:13, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- We can probably use this to discuss the Malthusian consequences of economic planning, as well as economic planning being applied to the Malthusian catastrophe,

Jewkes Book(s)
The three books you list are the only actual usage of the term "New Ordeal" that I have found. The three books you list are also only one book. It was published in 1948 and reissued in 1968. It is also the book cited in the first citation you give, so you now have 4 cites all referring to a single 1948 book. You are trying hard to show that "New Ordeal" is a term in common parlance, at some point in time, but you are just chasing your tail. A term used in the title of a single book, and never referenced again by that term, hardly constitutes a term worthy of an encyclopedia entry. Boomcoach 11:15, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- Yes, I'm not familiar with this book, but as nearly as I can tell by references to it, it's about post-World-War-II planning in England. And as Boomcoach notes, "new" refers to a new edition of an earlier book. Dpbsmith 11:21, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- The New Ordeal by Planning, John Jewkes, Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1968. RobS 11:07, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- Which I'm not familiar with, but, as nearly as I can tell, is about post World War II planning in England? Or have I got that wrong? Continue at Talk:New Ordeal... Dpbsmith 11:13, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- Also known as "Ordeal by Planning",this essay was about econ planning in the UK, not the U.S., and while, given his arguments, he prob would not have supported the New Deal, he didn't call it the New Ordeal.
- John Jewkes (1902 - 1988) is best known for his book Ordeal by Planning which he wrote in 1946 in an attempt to show that the wartime planning system, which many people wished to maintain and develop in the post-war world, would condemn the United Kingdom to poverty and failure. If Friedrich von Hayek in The Road to Serfdom provided a more celebrated philosophical treatise, it was Jewkes who produced a more down to earth and practically convincing case against central planning. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=John_Jewkes. Frederick 11:24, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- I agree with your comment on Andy's page, Rob, that Jewkes seems to critique Keynesian economics. That has NOTHING TO DO WITH the question at hand, namely where did the phrase "New Ordeal" come from?Frederick 11:24, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
I found a New York Times ad for the 1948 book, January 23, 1949. pg. BR19. (Check your local library, they may also have online access to the ProQuest Historical New York Times for cardholders). The ad says that the book is about lessons learned "after living for two years under the planned economy of the British Socialists." I.e. one could write an article entitled Ordeal by Planning and open it by saying
- Ordeal by Planning is a phrase coined by John Jewkes and the title of a book, referring to the period of socialistic economy in England from about 1946 to 1948.
But that's quite different from saying "The New Ordeal describes the period of time between 1929 and 1949, when the American economy finally recovered from the Crash of '29." Dpbsmith 11:32, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- Also: This Google Books page from Warfare State: Britian 1920-1970 says "John Jewkes, Ordeal by Planning (London: Macmillan, 1948) is about postwar planning by the Labour government." Dpbsmith 12:15, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
Couple points here: The Jewkes' book (either edition; the second edition differs in that it has 35 or 40 additonal pages that deal with the English economy up to about 1960) does not support RobS conculsions. RobS origninal article is about the U. S. economy. Please explain how that supports your argument?--Irat 12:04, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

Do conservatives commonly call FDR's administration the "New Ordeal?"
Are you familiar with this? Among conservatives, is it a commonly-used satirical name for the New Deal? Much discussion about this is in progress... Dpbsmith 09:41, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- As the article states, it is not direct criticism of the New Deal, it refers to the period 1929 to 1949, when the US economy finally recovered from the Crash of '29. The term has long been common among investors refering to both the Great Depression and World War II. RobS 10:05, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
- I've moved the rest of this discussion to Talk:Essay:New_Ordeal. Dpbsmith 13:41, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

- Yes, but I think the question at hand isn't whether Jewkes or Hayek were opposed to Keynesian theory and President Roosevelt's New Deal program. Clearly they were. It's not even whether the New Deal was successful or not. Certainly good arguments can be made on both sides. It's simply whether the term "The New Ordeal" is an established satirical phrase used to refer to the time between 1929-1949 or any part of it, or if it's just a new term you've created.--Steve 11:27, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
<--Believe it or not, there always were critics of Keynesianism, New Deal, and economic planning, despite attempts to suppress publication of Hayak's Road to Serfdom. RobS 13:05, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
Why are you citing these works? They have little to do with your original premise which dealt with the U.S. economy, and you STILL have not provided a response as where the phrase "New Ordeal" came from. Stop the distractions, the referring of readers to refrences that do not support your contentions, the dismissing those who challege you as "trolls." Show a little bit of intellectual Integrity.

That is not the question Rob. And a question is not a personal attack. You created a piece called "New Ordeal." Where did the term come from? I simply ask that you no longer engage in distractions, and intellectually dishonest behavior that is unworthy of a Conservapedia sysop. Could you answer the question, please?--Irat 13:46, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

Thank you for updating the further reading. But the term "New Ordeal" does not appear in any of these works. --Irat 13:49, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

But you still have told us where the term "New Ordeal" comes from, have you? Please behave like a Conservapedia sysop. This is after all, "The Trustworthy Encyclopedia." Avoiding the question is unworthy of you. Is an answer forthcoming?--Irat 14:06, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

I Quit
RobS, obviously you have no idea where the term came from other than that you made it up. I gave you every chance to come clean. Instead, you tried to distract eveyone who asked a question by citing books and articles that did not support your thesis. When that did not work, you called those who challenged you "trolls" and then (as in the case of Oldring this morning) you had another Sysop ban them (makes it hard for them to respond, eh?). So, I am going to leave you alone, but it should now be apparent to everyone that you lack the willingness to back your thesis. If that is uncivil, so be it. If you wish to ban me, fine. I am through with Conservapedia. --Irat 14:27, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

Did you read Freeman Tilden's piece in the North American Review? It has nothing to do with your essay. --Philaretes 15:11, 18 June 2007 (EDT)
- Really? I thought it did. Let's look at just this one excerpt for example:
- At least the half of all economic history is concerned with the tragi-comedy of governments getting into debt by extravagance and trying to get out by fraud. A good deal of the other half is concerned with individuals attempting to do the same thing. But governments have the advantage over individuals in this respect, since they are immune from the police power, because they control it. Indeed, it is axiomatic that if the commercial morality of the individual were as low as that of his government, no government could exist.
- What concerns us now, however, is not repudiation in specific instances, whether of government or the individual, but of the attitude toward repudiation, as expressed by those whose position, training and intelligence are of considerable moment. While there is yet no blunt statement from high sources that an obligor is to receive special favor if his net fortune prove, on examination, to be inferior to that of his creditor; yet we have clearly arrived at the stage when, regardless of the intent of the obligation, if the debtor suffers a loss, the creditor is to be considered a partner in the borrowers enterprise...
- Of course, the leading spirits in the assault upon the contract principle are governments. Whatever specious excuses are given by a government for the repudiation of its promises, either to its own subjects or to others, there is never more than one real reason: that it wants more money to spend as it prefers to spend it. As all governments are liberal promisors, their first thoughts, when more money is needed, and there is a fear of alienating support by taxation or direct expropriation, fly to the devising of some means of invalidating their obligations, and setting up a construction more to their liking. Fortunately for needy governments, a great part of their subjects are also in debt, and would also like to be relieved. Therefore what the government desires, and what would at the same time be popular, happily coincide, and the next thing is to declare that a crisis exits. This is taking high ground, precluding the charge that there is any immoral or illegal purpose of fleecing the creditor class....
- Having declared that a crisis exists, which is not hard to do, since governments are generally so clumsy and expensive that a crisis is always within call, all that remains is to alter the standard of value in some artificial manner; and there are a number of ways of doing so. This step, of course, brings all existing contracts that involve money payments into confusion. The unfortunate consequences in respect of these contracts could be avoided by enacting, along with the legislation altering the standard, that preceding obligations should be made good ... not according to the new value, but according to that which existed when the contract was made....
- But, even if there were no political reasons against this course, it would be unthinkable to a modern government, for the reason that it has its own obligations so clearly in mind. If its act were not to have the final result of assessing the difference to the creditor, the legislation might just as well not have been passed, and the crisis was cried up for nothing. Of course, the government is even now not in the happiest position, for its expenses increase in exactly the ratio of the degradation of the standard; but this can be met by a further degradation, and that by another...
- Meantime, the spirit of default naturally filters down through the body politic. And truly, it is hard for the humble individual to see why, if a government can elude its obligations, or set the stage for a general default based upon one particular kind of contract, it is not equally in order for him to repudiate his promise, however and wherever made. ...

"...1949, when the American economy finally recovered from the Crash of '29." By what measure did the nation not recover from the Crash until 1949? Most economists look at real GDP as the best measure of overall economic activity, as a measure of economic declines and advances. Real GDP exceeded its pre-Crash level by 1936 or 1937 at the latest. By 1949 it was almost twice what it was before the Crash. BryanF 18:47, 26 December 2012 (EST)

See inside
See inside the Universe
"One of those books kids and parents can dip into time and again."
Dr. Amber Jenkins
Alex Frith has been a children's author for more than a decade, covering every topic on Earth, from prehistoric animals to robots with artificial intelligence, and everything under the Sun, from the origins of the Universe to the adventures of Thor, God of Thunder. At home he reads too many comics, and attempts to raise three children with an awful lot of help from his wife, and no help at all from his cat.
"See inside the Universe" takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the universe, from stars and galaxies to the Big Bang and the Big Crunch, via astronomy and particle physics. It's so dense – there are flaps hidden within flaps – that it's one of those books kids and parents can dip into time and again.
Dr. Amber Jenkins
Good introduction to the solar system, offering information in bite-sized chunks.
The Telegraph
The 'science' of gravity, the Big Bang, atoms – all presented with over 70 flaps to lift, this will be a great recommendation for the boffins of the future.
Jill Pattle, Far From the Madding Crown Bookshop
Great book
It's an interesting book for my little one this book is full of wonderful info about the universe.
Mitch, 25th December 2017

Hair, hair, hair!
This summer we have been letting the ladies experiment with their hair. Charlotte begged to have hers shaved on one side over the ear. These pictures were taken about three weeks ago and the shaved heart shaped has completely grown out. Now she wants waves - it'll help her swim faster, she says!
Rachel wanted her tips dyed. We tried this process with Kool-aide and had no success. This is a product Rachel bought called Splat. It's called shocking blue and it came with bleach. Rachel chose to skip the bleach step and go straight to color. The result is not shocking blue - it's a pretty teal and it complements her coloring. She's thrilled and it looks really cool when she braids it or puts it in a bun. What will the other three do with their hair? Stay tuned.
1 screams from the fans...:

What a fun mom you are! the most outrageous thing I ever did was get a horrible perm and even that wasn't intentional! It looks like a whole lot of fun though and I can't wait to see what your other girls choose. I am living vicariously through them!

- The flyaway cost for the last block of F-22s was $142M each.
- Because DoD terminated the program before 752 were delivered, the R&D costs were amortized over a smaller number of A/C. Much like the B-2
- There's a lesson here: we have to buy aircraft – especially fighters – in quantity
- Government gets a better price – quantity discount and for multi-year procurement saves even more …
- Quality of the manufacturing process improves as one goes down the learning curve
- The last block of F-22s came off the production line without any defects … and on time and budget
- Nation gets the assets it needs to defend the US
- Our
daughters and sons fly modern equipment – not 50 year old planes that
are geriatric
- Part of
the F-22 R&D costs rolled into the F-35 program … so they were needed
in any event
- The F-22 has not flown in combat … despite requests from theater commanders for them
- The reason for this is simple – they were not needed
- The F-22 IOC'd (Initial Operational Capability) in 2005 – well after we had attained air superiority in Iraq and Afghanistan
- There
is evidence that Sec Gates did not approve commander requests for the
aircraft so he could implement his cancellation order and not be
overturned by Congress
- The F-22 is needed for any combat zone where there are modern air defenses.
- This includes places such as PRC, Iran, RU, Taiwan
- The US considered creating a no-fly zone over the country of Georgia when the Russians attacked Georgia … and the only airplane that could have survived was the F-22 … due to the Russians deploying modern SAMs to their border
- If the US had used F-22s for Libya, they could have saved many billions of dollars of Tomahawks … as the aircraft could have roamed the battlefield with impunity and plinked key targets with JDAMs.
- Both the Russians and the Chinese are building 5th generation fighters
- The Russians have already agreed to sell theirs to India
- China has indicated it will sell theirs
- We
may not fight either country … but we will fight their "stuff"
- Never in
the history of modern warfare has one side won in combat without air
superiority. It is like Oxygen – you need it and you won't miss it
until you don't have it.
- The Oxygen system is a problem [note the slick transition from the point above] … and the AF has put its brightest minds on fixing it … but they don't yet know what the problem is
- The Air Force says it was not the cause of the (F-22) accident in Alaska …
- It is the same system that is on the Navy's F-18
- The F-18 has had more than 20 incidents with the system … and doesn't know why either
- One has to wonder why the public (and ABC) is not focusing on the safety of F-18s …
- The Navy joined the AF in trying to determine how to fix the system
- The AF has made significant changes to warn the pilots of problems – filters, warning lights, supplement O2, etc.
- But … these are just that … supplemental … and don't fix the problem
- The AF hopes to know by late summer what the actual cause is
