Toothache! was a Doctor Who Adventures comic story featuring the Eleventh Doctor and Decky Flamboon.
Summary Edit
When Decky develops a toothache the Doctor rumbles a plan on a 30th-century medical station by an Amorta to extract everyone's teeth for their valuable calcium!
Plot Edit
When Decky Flamboon develops a "fang" ache the Doctor takes him to a medical facility in space in the 30th century. The dentistry area is full. Everyone seems to have developed toothache a few days ago just before the new dentist arrived. When the Doctor hears Decky cry-out he bursts in to find the dentist's robots about to conduct the removal of Decky's fangs. Disabling the robots by tying them up with sonic dental floss the Doctor turns to the dentist. Using his sonic screwdriver to deactivate the dentist's holographic disguise the dentist is revealed to bean Amorta. The Amorta are single-celled creatures from a pocket universe. On the Amorta's homeworld calcium is like gold. The Amorta sent out a telepathic message convincing everyone they had toothache. By pretending to be a dentist he was able to extract and collect as many teeth/calcium deposits as he wanted. The Doctor raises his sonic screwdriver and sets it to the right frequency causes the Amorta to vibrate away and forces it to return home. To make sure that Decky doesn't have anymore toothache the Doctor gives him a toothbrush!

by Mike Supple, Sr. Social Media Manager, Milestone Internet Marketing
Google+ pages for business are a mere 48 hours old, and Christian Ashlock from Google was at PubCon Las Vegas 2011 to answer some of the many questions we already all have. How does Google+ work with +1 buttons? How do you ensure that your Google+ page doesn't get stolen by some squatter? How can I connect my website to my Google+ page?
Christian first addressed many questions about the +1 button and how it is useful from a use and a publisher perspective:
- For users: the key advantage is that it makes search results more meaningful. If I'm logged into my Google account, I will see search results that are prioritized based on what my friends recommend (or +1) – thereby serving me more meaningful results.
- For publishers:
- Creating content that is inherently sharable will encourage users to click +1, making the page more visible to his/her friends
- Clicking the +1 button allows a user to share to a Google+ account, increasing visibility
- +1 buttons on Google ads will help to improve targeting and build trust
A few other key points about the +1 button:
- For multiple URLs pointing to similar content, use the rel=canonical tag on the page – no matter which +1 button a user clicks, it will add to the aggregated total of the canonical page
- For sites with multiple +1 buttons on the same page (i.e. pointing to blog posts) set the URL so each button click is counted as a +1 for that specific article
- Following schema.org markup ensures you control what information is shared when somebody +1s or shares you on Google+ (like the title, description and image)
- When adding the button to your page, if it negatively impacts page load speed, try using an asynchronous loading version of the button
Since Google+ pages are so new, much of the platform is still under development. Here are a few key takeaways:
- Can a business page only have one administrator?
- As of today, yes. This is something that the engineering team is working on changing in the near future.
- Is there a limit to the number of pages one user can create?
- Yes – currently that limit is 20.
- How does Google ensure that nobody creates a fake brand page for me?
- After you create your Google+ page, you can connect it to your website to prove that it's the official page. Connect by using the code in the get started page and adding it to your website.
- How will Google+ integrate with display ads and adsense?
- ads will show a +1 button so people can endorse it. Publishers or advertisers can opt out of this if they want. Currently this is just an annotation in targeting and does not currently affect pricing. Since it's early days, this might change.
- Will there be a direct connection between Google Places and Google Plus?
- Currently there is no connection, but this is something the Google engineers are looking into.
It is very exciting that Google is finally allowing brands to have a space on Google+. This platform is very much in its infancy. I had several more questions for Christian that he will be following up on for me later, so stay tuned for a lot more Google+ information over the upcoming weeks as we begin testing it for Milestone's clients.

Part I Part II Part III Part IV Appendixes
Part I: The Intrusion of Death
All the days of Methuselah
The days of our years
The biblical
record has presented a problem for chronologists, which involves
a paradox. The total period covered by the patriarchal list from
Adam to Noah is far too short to satisfy the demands of
current chronology which claims up to two million years for the
time of the appearance of the first man; but the ages which are
given are far too long! In one respect, therefore, the
record is much too circumscribed, and in another respect much
too extended. The usual method of dealing with this paradox is
to say that the figures really have no meaning. This is myth,
not history.
for the period in question
which might help are to be found in Josephus and in the Samaritan
Pentateuch, also shown in the table. Unfortunately, Josephus
essentially copies the Septuagint, while the Samaritan Pentateuch
succeeds only in reducing the total by 350 years.
Now the question of which text is to be regarded as the original one was nicely summed up many years ago by Dr. James C. Murphy who showed that the internal evidence from the figures themselves is decidedly in favour of the Hebrew text. *
* Murphy, James C., Commentary on Genesis, Belfast, no date, p.196.
We shall have
occasion to examine this evidence of internal proportional consistency
in a way that was not available to Murphy but fully bears out
his contention.
pg.4 of 21
spite of the fact that
each successor is stated to have been the son of his immediate
predecessor. The argument here is that the word son in
Hebrew can also mean grandson or great-grandson, to any degree
of distance one chooses, even as Christ is spoken of as a son
of David, or the woman who had an infirmity is spoken of as a
daughter of Abraham (Luke 13:16). So there may well be gaps in
the record for all we know � according to the critics.
1. The Supposed Gaps in the Record.
The proposal that there may be gaps in the record is reasonable enough in certain contexts, for Scripture shows many such gaps, but they are only discoverable by reference to parallel portions of Scripture where comparison of the details shows them up at once. Did we have but one account without any means of comparison with a parallel account, it would not be possible to discover that names were omitted. Sometimes a father is said to have borne a certain individual as his son, whereas we learn from other parts of Scripture that the individual was actually his great-great-grandson. The fact is well known to biblical chronologists. Such "incomplete" genealogies are not infrequent. Two are illustrated below in the following tables. In the table immediately below will be seen, in parallel columns, the genealogy given in 1 Chronicles 6:6-10 and Ezra 7:3-4 for Zerahiah to Amariah, in which it will be noted that in the second instance six names are omitted.
in this passage the word son has a much broader
meaning than it does in English when applied to the relationship
between Azariah and Meraioth who preceded him by seven generations.
It will be noted also, in this case, that the earlier table is
the complete one.
In this case, beginning with Jacob we have two contemporaries, Levi and Joseph in the next generation, and then in Exodus 6:16-20 we have what appear to be only three generations till the introduction of Aaron, Moses and Miriam. Now Aaron, Moses and Miriam were contemporaries of Nun the father of Joshua, but between Joseph and Nun there intervened nine generations whereas between Levi and Moses are shown only two generations. This will be clear enough by examining Table VI. But if we did not have the right hand column of this Table, then from Exodus 6:16-20 we might very well suppose that Aaron and Moses were only the third generation from Levi. If we allow thirty years for a generation, this would represent a time
interval of about a hundred
years. But the parallel genealogy shows us that this would be
a misrepresentation of the facts since there are nine
generations in the interval which actually spanned approximately
three hundred years.
* Custance, Arthur C., "Genealogies of the Bible"
Part V in Hidden
Things of God's Revelation, vol.7 of The Doorway Paper Series,
Zondervan, 1977.
adopts a policy of arguing from part of the record only. The record as a whole does not leave any gaps. The claim that such gaps exist is an argument based entirely on a selective reading of Scripture, while ignoring the rest of the evidence.
2. Names Refer to dynasties, Not to Indviduals
We come, then,
to the second alternative, namely, that we are really dealing
with dynasties rather than individuals, a proposal which is believed
to overcome two difficulties at once. In the first place, the
great periods attributed to each entry are not the life spans
of individuals but periods during which a tribe or a dynasty
founded by that individual, was in the ascendancy. In the second
place, it is proposed that the time periods ascribed to individuals
who were contemporaries for a large portion of their lives, are
really consecutive and therefore may be added together as reigns
are added together, thus considerably extending the time period
from Adam to the Flood. In Appendix 5 will be found a Table showing
how this scheme is applied to Genesis 5. At this juncture it
is only necessary to say that the total time span can be extended
to a period of 7630 years from the birth of Seth to the Flood,
by comparison with the biblical chronology of about 1656 years.
From the point of view of evolutionary anthropology, this is
The post-Flood data show, moreover, that there is a steady decline in life span so that if a graph is constructed (see Fig. 3) the curve has the appearance of representing a genuine biological phenomenon of declining viability until the age of man has fallen below 120 years. It is as though the data were intended to show how the longevity of antiquity gradually decayed until man reached his present life span. Thenceforth the subject was not worthy of further consideration in Scripture, and from this point on we are only once told what a man's age was when he died! We shall have occasion later to examine the probable reason why this is so.
and the total life span.
Finally, we must also exclude Noah, since he closed his life
under different conditions in the world after the Flood and since
there is some uncertainty as to the precise meaning of Genesis
5:32 where we are told that he was 500 years old when he bore
all three of his famous sons � Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Not only is this very late in life to beget a firstborn compared
with the other patriarchs, but clearly there is some special
circumstance involved unless these three sons were triplets.
Had they been so, we might expect to have been informed of the
fact, as we are of Jacob and Esau. The use of the term younger
when applied in Genesis 9:24 to Ham does not altogether rule
this out because even if all three were born together, the first
one to appear would be marked as the oldest and the last one
as the youngest.
The method
of using this formula is straightforward. The names are listed
as they appear in the table below in Column 1. This is followed
in Column 2 by the life spans. Column 3 is the Rank Order, i.e.,
the largest life span is No. 1, the smallest becomes No. 7, and
each life span is given a serial number representing its order
in rank. In Column 4 the period of childlessness is listed. These
figures are once more ranked as shown in Column 5.
Now a word about
the formula and the value of r (0.96). After years of analyzing
data in a laboratory where the number of entries sometimes ran
into three or four hundred and not merely seven as we have here,
we took the trouble on a number of occasions to apply the Spearman
Rank Order Formula as well as the usual far more complex formula
which involves such high numbers that a calculator is necessary.
We consistently found that the difference in the correlation
values by the two methods was usually only in the second decimal
point. Simple as it is, Spearman's Formula is, therefore, remarkably
there will almost never
be a perfect correlation. There will always be some individuals
who mature more quickly than others for no evident reason, and
some individuals who die much younger or much later than their
peers � again, for no self-evident reason. Where there are
evident reasons, one normally excludes their statistics from
the calculations (as we have done with Lamech). If the basic
concept that there is a firm relationship between the rate of
maturing and the length of life is sound, the longer a person
has lived the more likely it will be that he has matured more
slowly. Thus as the life span increases one expects, other things
being equal, that the time to the appearance of the first child
will be correspondingly greater. If this always happened, we
would have a perfect correlation and the value in the Spearman
Formula would then work out exactly at 1.00. If the figure works
out to be very much less than 1.00 (say, 0.25), then the correlation
is poor. It may even be reversed, the oldest persons consistently
bearing their children at the youngest period of their lives,
in which case the value of r is negative.
Assuming, then, that the figures in Genesis according to the Hebrew text are the correct ones, we can construct a graph (Fig.1) showing that the viability of man from Adam to Noah has a rather surprising trend upwards. One could speculate that, immediately after the Fall, man's ability to compensate for his now lessened vitality in extracting a living from the soil, was improved with time
and the ingenuity by
those of later generations who developed a high technology with
remarkable speed, as Genesis 4:17-22 indicates. Moreover, the
smallness of the population at first would also contribute to
the difficulties of achieving dominion over the earth. But the
very long lives of the earliest people would accelerate the accumulation
of knowledge and experience so that civilization would all the
sooner be advanced to the point where labour-saving devices and
measures taken for the preservation of life and the curing of
disease would gradually increase security and lead to a less
exhausting way of life. There may in that case have been a slight
amelioration of the effects of the Fall on man's physical well-being
which would be reflected by some gains in terms of life span,
although the same advantages would undoubtedly tend to increase
man's potential for wickedness, so that by the time of Noah technology
was advanced enough not only to allow the building of a giant
ship as large as the Great Eastern of comparatively modern times,
but a spiritual condition so serious as to demand the almost
total destruction of the human race.
Post-Flood Decline in Longevity
Immediately after the Flood the course of events in terms of human life span clearly changed very dramatically, as will be seen in Fig.2. Something quite specific reduced man's life expectancy from nearly a thousand years to 120 years within a period of seventeen generations. When the data provided in Scripture are plotted in the form of a graph and these points are converted into a smooth curve, the end result is a graph which has such a normal appearance about it that no one who is accustomed to viewing scattergrams of biological data would doubt for one moment the validity of it � especially if they were not aware that it is based on biblical data. It is a perfect example of what happens when some biological trend is explored and plotted routinely, provided that the original data have not been manipulated or gathered without sufficient precautions. Speaking personally, having drawn hundreds of scattergrams of this nature from data derived from our own experiments using human subjects over a period of fifteen years

or so, there is not
the slightest doubt in my mind that the relevant data provided
for us in the Bible are genuine. There is just that measure of
inconsistency and variance between individual readings, combined
with a certain over-all smoothness of trend which is so characteristic
of experimental data where living things are concerned that we
can have strong confidence in the genuineness of the original

expected that the life-shortening
consequences of exposure to such radiation would become immediately
apparent. This could account for the sudden decline in life span
shown so dramatically in Fig.2.

112. Hollander, Willard, "Lethal Heredity", Scientific American, July, 1952. p.60.
This is essentially
what I believe happened in the case of Noah's family and their
immediate descendants. Moreover, we find that ten generations
were required to normalize the new expected life span. The expected
life span was not, however, the three score years and ten of
David's time (Psalm 90:10) but the 120 years maximum of
Genesis 6:3. Figure 3 is designed to make these observations
more understandable.
individuals � not
even David. *
It is difficult
to imagine how such data as these, the significance of which
could hardly have been recognized until modern times, could have
been fabricated by some author or authors who wished to add a
supposed dignity to the history of their own patriarchs by giving
them a fictitious longevity in keeping with the claims made by
their contemporaries.

about it. The smooth
curve of Fig.3 is not arbitrarily drawn but has been imposed
on the points by strictly mathematical arrangement. Towards the
lower end of the curve several doubles of names appear at significant
points. The tenth generation mark is emphasized, as it were,
by being preceded by the figures for Isaac and Ishmael (ninth
generation) who nicely straddle the normalized curve, and is
followed by the figures for Levi and Joseph (eleventh generation)
who also straddle the normalized curve.

By surviving the ravages of World War II, this chapel is considered as the SPC Congregation's oldest historical building in the Philippines. When the Philippines was bombed on December 8, 1941, the school had to close and its future was placed in jeopardy. Japanese soldiers occupied the school compound and in 1945, during the battle of Manila, the Japanese army burned and blew up the chapel. When the Sisters were able to return, the found the remains of more than 120 massacred victims inside the chapel.
Almost 50 years ago, on December 12, 1957, a new theater was inaugurated by St. Paul College of Manila along Herran St. (now Pedro Gil) in tree-lined Malate. It was the Fleur-de-Lis Auditorium, and in due time it would become home to the musical theater tradition that the SPCM would gain fame for, producing such theater, dance, and entertainment luminaries as Cecille Guidote, Charo Santos, Celeste Legaspi, June Keithley, Baby and Maniya Barredo, Tina Santos, Pinky Marquez, Joy Soler, Noemi Manikan, and the Revilla sisters. Under the tutelage of such teachers as Fr. James Reuter and Daisy Avellana, these talents would turn the Fleur-de-Lis into "the Broadway of Herran."
That legacy is surely treasure enough. But another, equally remarkable treasure stood outside the theater itself, in the foyer, a gift of the architect who designed and built the Fleur-de-Lis and similar structures on St. Paul's other campuses. Seeing the Fleur-de-Lis in Manila as his crowning achievement, Architect Jose L. Reynoso asked his Angono townmate — a brilliant painter by the name of Carlos "Botong" Francisco, much later to be named a National Artist — to do a large mural that would be the centerpiece of the theater lobby, looming high above the theater-goers and making them part, as it were, of the tradition that was its subject.
"The Evolution of Philippine Culture," as the 3.5-by-4.5-meter mural in oil came to be known upon its completion, was unveiled along with the theater itself, and so has been part and parcel of St. Paul's and Manila's theater and cultural history. No better proof exists of how closely wedded the mural is to the theater than the fact that its two uppermost corners are trimmed to conform to the shape of the wall where the pilaster meets the cornice.

U.S. telecommunications company and internet provider GTT Communications is buying European fiber network operator Interoute in a deal worth $2.3 billion.
London-based Interoute operates one of Europe's biggest fiber networks and associated cloud services, spanning more than 70,000 kilometers and 29 countries, according to a Bloomberg report last year that outlined the company's plan to find a buyer.
McLean, Virginia-based GTT operates a similar subsea and terrestrial fiber network, alongside a range of enterprise-focused services. GTT, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), has seen its shares skyrocket over the past couple of years, hitting a record high of $48 per share last week. The company said that it will pay $2.3 billion in cash to acquire Interoute, thus creating a "powerful portfolio of high-capacity, low-latency connectivity, and innovative cloud and edge infrastructure services," according to a press release.
"The acquisition of Interoute represents a major milestone in delivering on our purpose of connecting people, across organizations and around the world," noted GTT president and CEO Rick Calder. "This combination creates a disruptive market leader with substantial scale, unique network assets, and award-winning product capabilities to fulfill our clients' growing demand for distributed cloud networking in Europe, the U.S., and across the globe."
GTT added that it expects the transaction to close within six months, after which it will take up to a year to integrate the companies' respective services.

(i watched it on amazon prime.) dope – now you might be thinking, what in the hell is a 30-something white woman doing watching this movie, but (one) my students recommended it to me and (two) i love movies about different cultures and this one is about as different as you can get. i loved this movie! the music was great and the story kept me entertained and thinking the whole time. the last five minutes gave me chills. (i caught this one on netflix.)
{favorite book} brave enough by cheryl strayed. no secret around here that i love cheryl strayed. but this book is a little different. it's just a collection of quotes. it sits on my coffee table, and i look at it several times a week.
{favorite YouTube} rubytrev, microscopic beauty, and favorite daughter emily for planner layouts. they are mesmerizing. i can't get enough. i don't know how they afford all of the stickers, but i like living vicariously through their videos. here's a peek at one…

my best friend getting married. so sweet!
getting my new life planner and all the goodies!
my Luca inspired tattoo!!
{favorite posts} my overview of my new planner and my most recent house update post were fun to put together! my one about Luca was a hard one, but it felt therapeutic to write.
{looking forward to…} another month off even though i know it will go quickly. perhaps getting another kitten?? i just don't know yet. spending some time with my middle sister, chase. getting back to my health goals. i've been eating really well, but haven't exercised in over a month! eek!

Format: Hardcover
A love story about what happens after you meet, or rather, don't meet the one.
I am not a big fan of books written for adults – this is my cross to bear in the book blogging world. However, I heard so many good things about One Day in December, and since it was in December's Book of the Month selection list I figured I'd go for broke and give it a whirl. I am enormously pleased to say that I actually – shockingly – adored this quiet little sleeper hit.
My Rating:
How I'd Describe This Book to a Friend
We meet Laurie when she's barely 20 years old – fresh-faced and determined to make her way in the world, rushing home in the holiday cold when she spies the world's hottest guy from the top of a double-decker bus (we're in London for this party, folks). She makes eye contact with him, and he hesitates, almost climbs onto the bus. But he's too slow, and when he musters up the courage for their meet-cute, the bus has already begun to pull away. Laurie rushes home to tell her roommate and best friend Sarah all about "bus boy," and how frickin' hot he is. Sarah is very into this idea, but takes it with a grain of salt. One year later, after a flash-forward, Sarah has gone from sweetly dealing with her bestie's crush on a stranger she will never find again to being a little pushy about it – after all, it's been a long time, she's never gonna see this guy again. And besides, she's setting Laurie up with this hot friend of her new boyfriend's.
You can probably guess it, but when Sarah calls Laurie over to introduce him to her beau, a handsomely tall drink of water named Jack, Laurie is floored to discover that Jack is bus boy. Her best friend is dating the guy she fell in love with at first sight. How bad can this be, though? Surely she can push through these feelings and nobody will be the wiser – he can't remember her, can he?
He can. And he does.
What follows is a ten year journey that we take alongside these characters – we see them grow from awkward young adults to full-fledged grown-ups on the cusp of 30 years old. Laurie and Jack deny their feelings for each other and are constantly playing chicken with the truth, whether or not to tell Sarah who is none the wiser and happy as a clam with Jack at her side. A fourth player enters the ring around the halfway mark – Oscar, Laurie's sexy Robinson Crusoe lover she meets while on a beach trip to Thailand to forget about life for a while. This is the story of growing up, like it or not.
The Bottom Line
Together, the four grow around each other and apart, developing friendships and fissures alike. On its own, this wouldn't be enough to hook me – after all, I read this sort of stuff all the time. But the true magic of One Day in December is the characters.
We get two POVs – Laurie and Jack – and between the two, you feel as if these people could be your best friends. I myself am on the cusp of 30 too – 4 more months, wtf? – and I earnestly, deeply get it. Every heartache, every kiss, every fight, every make up had me rooting for these delightfully crass people who are not perfect, they do and say stupid stuff like … well, like real people. It endears them to you, even if sometimes you just want to smack them and remind them of where their priorities lie. The reason this was not a five star read for me is simply because the ending is a little too "big red ribbon on the perfect package"-esque for me – I like it better when loose ends get tied up more sloppily, because life isn't always this perfect.
I can say this with 100% certainty, too – I hate love triangles. I cannot stand them as a concept, and I think they're weak and almost always a sign of poor writing. This book, however, was the only book I've ever read to have me 100% committed to a love triangle. I cared about all three people involved, and didn't want to see anyone get hurt. Josie Silver has done the impossible for me – she drew me in and kept my rapt attention with a love triangle. That alone is worth its weight in gold.
Overall, if you like to dip your toe into the new adult genre, if you're a twentysomething feeling adrift in the sea of dating and relating and finding your place as a career woman, or if you've ever been dumped (or done the dumping) and felt like you were giving up on love ever again for the rest of your life … give this book a try. I promise you won't regret it. After all, it's Christmas – this is the perfect book to read at home under a blanket with a cat settled on top of you like a small, heavy cloud.
"Despite the fairy-tale snowstorm out there, this isn't Narnia. This is London, real life, where hearts get kicked and bruised and broken, but somehow they still keep beating."
"I'm not a bitch though; or maybe I'm just a quiet one inside my own head. Isn't everyone?"


text: Normally I function pretty well on five to six hours of sleep, and when I was a little heavier getting much more than that meant a sore back in the morning. So I'd inevitably be up late each night playing around on the computer and watching cable. I always swore I was going to convert those hours into writing time, but the old brain's pretty foggy by those hours. In the past week, however, I've been feeling the need for almost the full eight hours. I think the extra rest is definitely having a good effect on me mentally, and frankly I don't really miss the extra tv watching. Maybe getting more sleep will be my new year's resolution. It can't hurt, right?

Design, implementation and characterization of a microscope capable of three-dimensional two color super-resolution fluorescence imaging (2014)
This thesis reviews the fundamentals of three-dimensional super-resolution localization imaging. In order to infer the axial coordinate of the emission of single fluorophores, the point spread function is engineered following a technique usually referred to as astigmatic imaging by the introduction of a cylindrical lens to the detection path of a microscope. After giving a short introduction to optics and localization microscopy, I outline sources of aberrations as frequently encountered in 3D-localization microscopy and will discuss their respective impact on the precision and accuracy of the localization process. With the knowledge from these considerations, experiments were designed and conducted to verify the validity of the conclusions and to demonstrate the abilities of the proposed microscope to resolve biological structures in the three spatial dimensions. Additionally, it is demonstrated that measurements of huge volumes with virtually no aberrations is in principle feasible. During the course of this thesis, a new method was introduced for inferring axial coordinates. This interpolation method based on cubic B-splines shows superior performance in the calibration of a microscope and the evaluation of subsequent measurement and will therefore be used and explained in this work. Finally, this work is also meant to give future students some guidance for entering the field of 3D localization microscopy and therefore, detailed protocols are provided covering the specific aspects of two color 3D localization imaging.

By Maurizio Albahari
"Avoid shooting Blacks: we will be remembered." West African farmworkers sprayed such disquieting graffiti on a discolored wall of the small town of Rosarno, Italy in January 2010. There, and throughout agricultural fields in southern Italy, seasonal workers (citrus pickers, in this case) have long been subjected to excruciating exploitation. What was relatively new that January was that they mobilized publicly. They overturned some dumpsters, disrupted traffic, and marched toward the villa of a local Mafioso, to demand their long-overdue pay. Some were shot at and seriously injured. They had left behind human-rights abuses (many had lodged asylum applications in Italy) and survived the perils of transcontinental crossing, only to be targeted by violence and intimidation. Local criminals thought the migrants would submissively leave town, as many uncompromising citizens routinely do. Instead, the civic duty to resist organized crime was carried out by those who, unable to avail themselves of state and labor union protection, are often stigmatized as at the margins of society. These migrant workers challenged entrenched practices of acquiescent citizenship, and made visible the structural intersections of price fixing, informal labor recruiting, and organized crime. In other words, the farmworkers' conspicuous mobilization contravened the entrenched strictures of omertà (code of silence), and spoke out also on behalf of quietly resigned residents of Rosarno. Eventually, most of the farmworkers were forced to leave town that season, either individually or on police buses, ostensibly to safeguard their own personal safety. A small but vocal minority of locals succeeded in its show of force, following certain economic and environmental contingencies that made partly superfluous even migrants' flexible, cheap, and ultimately disposable labor.
Such dramatic events point to emerging practices of mobilization and active citizenship that escape both the confines of recognized, state-granted citizenship, and the structures of traditional social movements. Analytically, in linking migrants' collective action to larger social movements it is helpful to borrow the concept of "insurgent citizenship" articulated by anthropologist James Holston (2009). In this sense, citizenship is understood as a "global category of conflict" (245) actively confronting entrenched inequality among citizens and between citizens and non-citizens. Politically, it is worth asking whether polities should foster citizens' integration into larger practices of critical citizenship, rather than merely immigrants' socio-economic and cultural integration into the (sometimes conniving) mainstream. More generally, what are some of the practices and processes that can bring together minorities and majorities on equal terms, in the pursuit of democratically-shared objectives?
In Europe, the urgency of such questions is augmented by the unprecedented number of migrant and refugee arrivals by sea during 2015: at least one million people. I deal extensively with relevant dynamics of maritime migration and death, sovereignty, and human rights elsewhere. In these pages I want to draw attention to the implications of European citizens' mobilization in receiving some of these new arrivals.
Adding to the Mediterranean chronicle of refugee death, the humanitarian "crisis" on European soil, during the second half of 2015, unfolded in a succession of settings: tiny Greek islands; fenced, mined, and muddy buffer zones at border posts (including between Greece and Turkey, Bulgaria and Turkey, Macedonia and Greece, Serbia and Macedonia, Hungary and Serbia, Hungary and Croatia, Slovenia and Croatia, and Austria and Slovenia); the motorway between Hungary and Austria; railway stations throughout these countries, as well as in Italy and Germany. And yet, each one of these sites of crisis constituted also a site of conspicuous mobilization, and an opportunity for citizens to critically assess smugglers' responsibilities, immigration and refugee policies, international relations, and migrants' motives.
Thousands of individual citizens, in addition to coordinated volunteers and NGOs, have gone to the docks, the railway stations, and the improvised shelters to offer material comfort, translations, and a more humane welcome to distressed newcomers. This is not unprecedented. On the one hand, I have listened to many people describing the substantial work of non-state actors toward the reception of migrants and refugees, since the 1990s, as a series of "missed opportunities." In other words, citizens' individual and collective mobilization, working with and for newly-arrived migrants, has not and will not necessarily result in policy reform (although in Italy it has facilitated the partial demise of massive migrant detention). On the other hand, it is always important to ask: what can one discern in such a mobilization, when using an ethnographic lens? Is there something eminently political, albeit not necessarily policy-oriented or institutionalized, which persists after bursts of short-lived moral empathy toward refugees?
Rather than discussing more "activist" long-term initiatives, such as the "No Border camps" bringing together a transnational assemblage of migrants, activists, and other concerned citizens (e.g., in Calais, or in Ventimiglia on the Italian coast in the vicinity of the French border), I want to sketch the implications of everyday and daily engagements. In particular, there are citizens who are literally opening their homes to refugees. The most widely-known platform facilitating flat-sharing is "Flüchtlinge Willkommen" (Refugees Welcome). First developed in Germany in November 2014, it now offers its logistical support to citizens, local institutions, refugees, and refugee organizations also in Austria, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland. At the end of 2015 the initiative had matched 471 refugees to shared flats. Similarly, in Italy the Catholic social services and relief organization "Caritas" has instituted the "rifugiato a casa mia" project (a refugee in my home), making available around 1,000 places among Italian families, parishes, and religious structures. Critics may point to the relatively low numbers of citizens who are opening their homes through these and similar programs. Others may exaggerate the symbolic impact of these initiatives. More pragmatically, analysis at the ethnographic level allows one to inquire into citizens' motivations; to assess the substantial savings in public spending vis-à-vis refugees' centralized reception in camps, shelters, or trailers; to assess refugees' acquisition of social and cultural capital, and so forth. Camps and centralized reception facilities have already proven conducive to human rights abuse, skyrocketing public spending, lack of administrative transparency, resentment by locals, and lack of meaningful opportunities for migrants. In this scenario, and as public opinions are volatilely split over immigration and refugee issues, ordinary civic practices such as flat-sharing, occurring even in disadvantaged urban peripheries, acquire the value of propositional contestation: they demonstrate that there are more just and feasible alternatives to refugee mass encampment and marginalization.
From their intimate living quarters, and from the public square constituted by docks, motorways, border posts, and railway stations, citizens are demonstrating that they do not resign themselves to their role as gatekeepers, bystanders, or mourners of migrants lost at sea. They are clarifying that chants and policies calling for refugees "to go back home" are not effected in their name and on their behalf. To borrow sociologist Asef Bayat's conceptualization of "nonmovements," what we see is a multiplicity of noncollective, ordinary actors who by participating in "fragmented but similar activities" may trigger social change, "even though these practices are rarely guided by an ideology or recognizable leadership and organizations" (15). At the very least, these actors are creating and inhabiting practices of local engagement and transnational solidarity worthy of further investigation.
It is to be hoped that such civic approaches to the challenges of immigration will be met by more substantial institutional and bureaucratic support, even (indeed, especially so) under the threat of terrorism. Racism, profiling, and discrimination can be sanctioned or tolerated; integration funds can be more effectively allocated or cut; active citizenship can be fostered or discouraged.
Both empirically and normatively, it continues to be important to explore the varied constraints transforming persons into entities deprived of a plausible, realistic political voice—entities including the passive, "desperate victim" at one extreme, and the "nativist xenophobe" at the other. Migrant victims and local xenophobes are certainly a reality. Accordingly, social scientists continue to study the discourses, power hierarchies, and unequal distribution of rights that engender structural violence and nativism, as well as the varied forms of insurgent citizenship, activism, and nonmovements that challenge a most harrowing state of affairs.

When deciding what disciplinary action to take, keep in mind that discipline is supposed to be constructive. Your goal is to guide the employee to correct performance or behavior, not to punish the employee. As a general rule, your action should be just enough to get the employee's attention. However, you may have to take progressively more serious actions if there is no improvement or if repeat occurrences follow. You need not take each of these actions, but you will normally take more than one of them. Your alternatives are:
Oral Warning:
- Set a time and place to ensure privacy.
- Make notes about what you want to say in advance.
- Remember that the employee has a right to choose representation.
- State clearly that you are issuing an oral warning.
- Be specific in describing the unacceptable performance or behavior.
- Remind the employee of the acceptable standards or rules. If they are available in writing, provide them to the employee.
- State the consequences of failure to demonstrate immediate and sustained improvement: Further disciplinary action may be the result.
- Note the oral warning on your calendar.
Written Warning:
If you gave an oral warning and the problem performance or behavior persists, a written warning may be effective. You may decide to use this disciplinary action more than once, to get the employee's attention. Be careful, however, not to get stuck issuing repetitive letters of warning that fail to influence the employee's behavior or performance.
- State clearly at the outset of the letter that it is a written warning, and cite the appropriate personnel policy or contract provision.
- Describe the performance problem(s) or work rule violation(s) in very specific detail and attach documents which support your conclusions.
- Outline previous steps taken to acquaint the employee with the issue (coaching sessions, performance appraisals, previous disciplinary actions) and attach copies of the documents you refer to.
- Describe the impact of the problem (safety issues, need to reassign work).
- Note the employee's explanation (as revealed during your investigation) or that the employee declined to offer one. If it was unacceptable, explain why.
- Reiterate your expectations regarding behavior and/or performance.
- Note that if the employee doesn't demonstrate immediate and sustained improvement, the consequence will be further disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
- Refer the employee to the appropriate policy or contract provision for appeal rights.
- Deliver the warning letter to the employee and place it in the employee's departmental personnel file using appropriate delivery procedures such as "Proof of Service." (See Sample Proof of Service Form in Chapter 23, Separations <hard copies of the Guide only>.)
Sample Letter of Warning (Word)
Suspension without Pay:
This is normally the next stage in progressive discipline after written warning(s)
Suspension typically prevents work for one to ten working days, as specified in the letter, and pay is docked accordingly.
Length of a suspension without pay will be influenced by policy or contract requirements.
The letter states that it is a suspension without pay, the appropriate policy or contract provision, and the number of days the employee will be suspended. It also (as with a letter of warning) describes the problem, previous corrective measures, impact of the problem, your expectations, consequences of failure to improve, and the employee's appeal rights.
Depending upon the personnel program the employee belongs to, you may be required to issue a letter of intent to suspend, which provides the employee with the right to appeal your intended action to the next higher management level before the action is implemented. Consult your Employee Relations Consultant as well as the policy or contract for more information.
Reduction of Pay within a Class:
This alternative is normally used when you do not wish to remove the employee from the work site, but serious discipline is appropriate. It is a popular alternative, in lieu of suspension without pay, in cases of chronic absenteeism or tardiness.
The reduction of pay is for a specific period of time, related to the seriousness of the performance discrepancy or work rule violation, and noted in the letter.
The disciplinary letter will incorporate the same elements included in a suspension letter.
You may have to issue a letter of intent similar to that used in cases of suspension. Your Employee Relations Consultant will explain the procedure to you.
Demotion to a Lower Classification:
This action involves movement of an employee to a lower level position, and may be temporary or permanent. (Note: A demotion is a disciplinary action; a downward reclassification is not a disciplinary action.)
Demotion is most often appropriate in cases of inadequate performance of responsibilities at a particular level, rather than violation of work rules. It should be based upon a reasonable expectation that the employee will perform successfully in the lower classified position. For example, did the employee previously hold a similar position, and did he perform satisfactorily?
Your notice letter and process are quite similar to those used for a suspension without pay, or a reduction of pay within class. Contact your Employee Relations Consultant if you are considering this disciplinary alternative.
See: Notice of Intent to Demote and Letter of Demotion (After Reviewer has Responded).
This alternative is normally selected after performance counseling and progressive discipline have failed to get the employee's attention to the problem.
In extreme cases, such as job abandonment, theft, or an act that endangers others, the offense may be so grave that progressive discipline is not necessary.
See Chapter 23, Separations - Dismissal for more detailed information on dismissing an employee.
The disciplinary actions most commonly employed on the Berkeley campus are written warnings and suspensions without pay. The concept of progressive discipline does not require that you use all the actions described above, but you will usually be expected to use more than one type in your attempt to correct the employee's performance or behavioral problems, because discipline should normally be progressive.
As a supervisor, it is perfectly natural for you to feel frustrated or angry when an employee repeatedly fails to perform satisfactorily or follow the rules. Keep in mind, however, that most employees come to work wanting to do a good job. Some will require more specific and frequent feedback than others to understand what that means in your work site and in the jobs under your supervision. Frequency of feedback will largely depend on what you observe in the employee's behavior and performance and on the cycles of the work (e.g., tardiness can be corrected immediately, but it may take days or weeks to complete a particular project or task for your review).
Remember that the purpose of disciplinary action is to turn performance around by continuing to identify problems, causes, and solutions. If you can accomplish it in a positive and constructive way, you will send a message that you are out not to punish, but to help the employee become a fully productive member of your work unit.

In the growing clamor for education reform in Michigan—by current state leaders and those who hope to be elected this fall—the inescapable truth of deep inequities in educational opportunities and outcomes for children based on race, ethnicity, place and income rarely takes center stage. While all children can learn and deserve a top-notch education, children of color and those living in low-income communities face barriers to educational success from cradle to career. Attempts to improve Michigan's educational system without addressing those barriers will undoubtedly fail.
Educational disparities do not occur in a vacuum and can be traced to public policies that limit employment and housing options for many parents, fail to adequately recognize the added costs of teaching children who live in high-poverty neighborhoods, and view investments in teachers as a "diversion" of school funding away from children.
The results are unacceptable for Michigan's children and the state's economy. Children of color are less likely to be reading proficiently by third grade, are more likely to be retained in grade, change schools more frequently and miss more school. Ultimately, children of color and those from families with low incomes are less likely to graduate from high school or be college- and career-ready.
Michigan can and must do better. A high-quality education is a vital path to equity for children in Michigan and the foundation of economic growth—a path that has been unavailable to too many children of color.
Michigan's Students Are Increasingly Diverse
One-third of Michigan students are children of color, and the percentage of students of Latinx, Asian and multiracial heritage is growing. As a percentage of total students, White and African American children dropped slightly between the 2013-14 school year and 2017-18, as overall student enrollment fell. During that time, the percentage of total Michigan students that are of two or more races increased 38%, along with the percentage of Latinx (16%) and Asian (14%) students.
Teachers in Michigan Public Schools Are Less Diverse Than Their Students
Research shows that African American primary-school students matched to same-race teachers perform better on standardized tests and are more favorably perceived by their teachers. In addition, assigning African American boys to an African American teacher in the third, fourth or fifth grades significantly reduces the probability that they will ultimately drop out of high school—particularly for boys with the most economic disadvantages.1
Despite growing evidence that children of color thrive when they have teachers and role models whom they can identify with racially and ethnically, Michigan teachers do not reflect the student body. While 1 of every 3 Michigan students is a child of color, more than 90% of teachers and 80% of school administrators are White. And the diversity of Michigan's teaching workforce has not grown over the last decade, with the percentage of African American teachers actually declining.
In addition to the lack of racial and ethnic diversity among teachers, the segregation of teachers and students is a concern. Schools serving larger numbers of students of color tend to have more diverse workforces, while in schools with predominately White children and youths, students can have little exposure to teachers of color—despite the benefits of diversity for children of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.2 The segregation of students and teachers has a backstory that includes a history of public policies that have limited employment and housing options for parents, and created greater income inequality and housing segregation. Unfortunately, children of color have borne the brunt of many of these policies.
Attracting more people of color to the teaching profession is a challenge given the overall decline in the number of college students that see teaching as an attractive and viable profession. Enrollment in Michigan teacher preparation programs fell from 11,287 in the 2013-14 academic year to only 7,868 in 2015-16, a decline of more than 30% in just two years.3 Prospective new teachers are disproportionately White, representing 88% of college students enrolled in teacher preparation programs in 2015-16.4
In addition to problems recruiting new teachers, there is evidence that turnover rates are higher for teachers from some racial and ethnic groups—in part because of the difficult working conditions in their often high-poverty urban schools, including stagnating salaries, more costly healthcare benefits, and the challenges of teaching children with high needs in older school buildings that are in need of repair or lack safe drinking water. In addition to these barriers, teachers report leaving the field because they don't have enough influence in school decision-making and lack personal autonomy in their classrooms.5
The Barriers to Equity in Education
Poverty and economic inequities create significant barriers to educational achievement that cannot be overcome by focusing solely on what happens in the classroom. Public policies that push children into poverty, limit access to preconception and prenatal care, or contribute to healthy food deserts also create inequities in educational achievement. And, because differences in economic opportunity are at the core of racial and ethnic inequities, children of color are more likely to be left behind.
Access to high-quality early education and care is limited.
The state's youngest children are more likely to live in poverty, with much higher rates for children of color. Nearly half of the state's youngest African American children, and more than one-third of Latinx children age 0-5, live in poverty.
There is little doubt that exposure to poverty in the earliest years of life can affect children's long-term development and educational success. In Michigan, children of color are more likely to be born too early, die in the first year of life, have poor nutrition, suffer from untreated health conditions and live in homes and neighborhoods where they are exposed to environmental toxins.
Scientists agree that the very architecture of children's brains is developing during the first years of life in ways that can affect cognitive and emotional development and ultimately success in school. Particularly startling is research showing that the conditions of poverty during the earliest days and years of life can alter children's brain development in ways that account for up to 20% of the achievement gap between children from families with high- and low-incomes. Sadly, that gap in brain development continues into adulthood.6
High-quality early education and care services can reduce the negative impact of poverty on educational attainment, yet Michigan's investments in supports for families with very young children have fallen short. For example, in 2019, Michigan will make its first ever state investment in the Early On program—the state's effort to identify and serve infants and toddlers with developmental delays—but the $5 million allocated falls far short of the estimated need of over $60 million.
Further, although Michigan has made strides in expanding its preschool program for four-year-olds from families with low incomes, there is much more work to be done to ensure that parents have access to high-quality child care. With the second lowest income eligibility level in the country, and child care provider payments that fall significantly below market rates, few families with low wages can receive assistance or afford high-quality child care. In 2008, over 50,000 Michigan families and 98,000 young children had access to child care because of a state subsidy; so far in 2018, fewer than 20,000 families and 34,000 children have benefited.
The economic disadvantages faced by children of color continue as they enter kindergarten and beyond, yet schools have insufficient resources to help students overcome the obstacles that have resulted in an achievement gap.
Students of color are much more likely to be economically disadvantaged, with nearly 8 of every 10 African American students living in families with low incomes or other major risk factors, along with nearly 3 of every 4 Latinx students.7 Despite the well-established connection between the conditions of poverty and educational achievement, the number of children able to receive basic income support in Michigan has fallen sharply, and Michigan has not fully funded its At-Risk School Aid program, which supports children in high-poverty schools.
Children of color are more likely to change schools during the year, often affecting their academic growth and achievement.
Parents with low incomes are more likely to encounter housing problems that force them to move frequently and can disrupt their children's education by requiring them to change schools mid-year. Overall, 10.2% of economically disadvantaged students changed schools during the 2016-17 school year, compared to 3.4% of children whose families were not economically disadvantaged. A closer look shows that race and ethnicity make a difference, with more than 1 in 10 African American students changing schools, compared to only 5% of White students.
Students of color are more likely to have chronic school absences that can disrupt their educations.
Children who are chronically absent from school struggle to keep up with their peers beginning in the earliest years and into adulthood. Children who miss too much school during preschool, kindergarten and first grade are much less likely to read at grade level by third grade. Older students who miss school are more likely to drop out, which greatly diminishes their chances of success in the workplace.8
Michigan's state plan under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) includes chronic absenteeism rates as a factor in measuring school quality. During the 2016-17 school year, nearly 16% of all students were chronically absent, but rates are higher for many children of color, with nearly one-third of African American children missing 10% or more of scheduled school days.
There are many reasons that children are frequently absent from school, including chronic illnesses like asthma, mental health problems, homelessness or frequent moves, unreliable transportation, discipline issues, bullying and fear of violence. Many of these barriers to school attendance are related to the struggles with daily living that flow from systemic barriers to economic success faced by too many families of color, as well as the disproportionate impact of school discipline policies on students of color.
The Consequences of Cumulative Educational Inequities
Differences in educational achievement are evident by fourth grade.
More than 8 of every 10 African American students and two-thirds of Latinx students are not proficient in English/Language Arts by the end of third grade based on the state's most recent standardized test. The stakes of failing to read proficiently by third grade have risen as Michigan prepares to implement a new law in 2020 that will make it more difficult for students to progress to fourth grade if they are not reading at grade level.
Children from families that struggle financially are also less likely to be proficient readers. Economically disadvantaged children are nearly twice as likely to not be reading proficiently by the end of third grade—a reality that decreases the likelihood of school success and sets the stage for another generation of young people who cannot find a foothold in the workforce.
More students of color are retained in grade.
Given the increased likelihood that children will be retained in grade in Michigan when the new "Read by Grade Three Law" takes effect, it is important to understand which children are most likely to be affected by the law and target intensive services to those children, including family supports, high-quality early childhood services, and additional instructional time and tutoring in the early grades. Currently, African American children are nearly twice as likely to be retained in grade as their White peers. With 8 of every 10 African American third-graders and two-thirds of Latinx children not reading proficiently by third grade, it is clear that children of color are at much higher risk under Michigan's "Read by Grade Three Law".
Fewer children of color are completing high school, cutting short their chances of a higher education or a job leading to economic security.
In the 2016-17 school year, high school dropout rates in Michigan for African American, Latinx and American Indian students were twice the rate for White students. Also struggling to complete high school are students who are homeless, children with disabilities, English language learners and students who are economically disadvantaged.
Policies Needed to Promote Equity in Education in Michigan
Current state budgets and public policies don't adequately address the costs associated with educating children in high-poverty schools in Michigan. For example, providing the same per-pupil funding to all schools across the state would increase equality in educational financing, but would not create equity by helping children overcome the accumulated obstacles that have resulted in an achievement gap. To achieve equity, state funding must fully recognize the higher costs of educating children in high-poverty schools, as well as address the barriers children of color encounter from the time of their birth.
Recommendations for moving forward:
- Consider the impact of potential budget and policy decisions on children of color and low-income communities. A first step is to incorporate an analysis of the impact of budget and policy options on children of color, their families and their communities.
- Invest in efforts to reduce poverty and ameliorate the impact of poverty on learning. Given the strong relationship between economic disadvantage and school success, Michigan must more intentionally address the causes of poverty, and provide for the basic income, food and housing needs of children living in poverty. In addition, parents must be given the tools they need to succeed in the workforce and access post-secondary education.
- Expand access to high-quality early learning and care programs. With the significant increase in federal funding for child care that became available this year, Michigan has an opportunity to ensure that more families can find high-quality child care for their children. Among the changes needed are an expansion of income eligibility for child care; more adequate payment rates for child care providers; and targeted efforts to expand the supply of high quality child care for infants and toddlers, families needing third-shift or off-hours care, and children with special needs.
- Increase supports for early literacy. To improve third-grade reading for children of color or those in low-income communities, Michigan must increase access to high-quality early childhood education and care programs, expand home visiting and early identification systems, and provide more intensive reading supports and instruction in the early grades.
- Provide K-12 public schools the resources required to address the educational needs of children of color and those living with families with low incomes. Michigan's school funding formula and categorical funding should target schools and students most affected by poverty and policies that have reduced their educational opportunities, including children of color and children from economically disadvantaged families. Included are full funding of the At-Risk School Aid program and a per-pupil formula that is weighted to provide the greatest assistance for children and schools that are struggling academically.

To better understand the dynamics of using my hot water tank as a energy storage load, I turned it off overnight, so I could see how much power it took to get it back to the setpoint.
The heaters were turned off yesterday when the sun went down, and turned back on 15 hours later. It took a bit over 4KWH to recover energy lost. This was with minimal hot water use.
Since this was also the first big load that was run through the new transfer relays. I got out the thermal camera to see what was warming up. Looks like reasonable temperatures. The electric range is the next big load I will move over. Am looking at the best construction method for the high current solid state relays current sensing system. Luckily I only need to make 8 of them.
