Content: This calmness and shyness remains with them throughout their lives. This suggests that level of aggression have a biological rather than environmental component. Evolutionary Explanations of Gender
As the evolutionary approach is a biological one, it suggests that aspects of human behavior have been coded by our genes because they were or are adaptive. A central claim of evolutionary psychology is that the brain (and therefore the mind) evolved to solve problems encountered by our hunter-gatherer ancestors during the upper Pleistocene period over 10,000 years ago. The evolutionary approach argues that gender role division appears as an adaptation to the challenges faced by the ancestral humans in the EEA (the environment of evolutionary adaptation). The mind is therefore equipped with ‘instincts’ that enabled our ancestors to survive and reproduce. The two sexes developed different strategies to ensure their survival and reproductive success. This explains why men and women differ psychologically: They tend to occupy different social roles. To support the evolutionary perspective, the division of labour was shown to be an advantage. | http://www.simplypsychology.org/gender-biology.html |

To support the evolutionary perspective, the division of labour was shown to be an advantage. 10,000 years ago there was division of labour between males and females. Men were the hunter gathers, breadwinners, while the mother was at home acting as the ‘angel of the house’ and looking after the children. Hunting for food required speed, agility, good visual perception. So men developed this skill. If a women was to hunt, this would reduce the group’s reproductive success, as the woman was the one who was pregnant or producing milk. | http://www.simplypsychology.org/gender-biology.html |

Content: therefore we think things about people that might not be true (i.e. make generalizations). The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they reduce the amount of processing (i.e. thinking) we have to do when we meet a new person. Stereotypes lead to social categorization, which is one of the reasons for prejudiced attitudes (i.e. “them” and “us” mentality) which leads to in-groups and out-groups. Positive examples of stereotypes include judges (the phrase “sober as a judge” would suggest this is a stereotype with a very respectable set of characteristics), overweight people (who are often seen as “jolly”) and television newsreaders (usually seen as highly dependable, respectable and impartial). Negative stereotypes seem far more common, however. Racial Stereotypes
Racial Stereotypes
Researchers have found that stereotypes exist of different races, cultures or ethnic groups. Although the terms race, culture and ethnic groups have different meanings, we shall take them to mean roughly the same thing at the moment. The most famous study of racial stereotyping was published by Katz and Braly in 1933 when they reported the results of a questionnaire completed by students at Princeton University in the USA. They found that students held clear, negative stereotypes – few students expressed any difficulty in responding to the questionnaire. | http://www.simplypsychology.org/katz-braly.html |

Most students at that time would have been white Americans and the pictures of other ethnic groups included Jews as shrewd and mercenary, Japanese as shrewd and sly, Negroes as lazy and happy-go-lucky and Americans as industrious and intelligent. Not surprisingly, racial stereotypes always seem to favor the race of the holder and belittle other races. It is probably true to say that every ethnic group has racial stereotypes of other groups. Some psychologists argue that it is a “natural” aspect of human behavior, which can be seen to benefit each group because it helps in the long-run to identify with one’s own ethnic group and so find protection and promote the safety and success of the group. There is no evidence for this view, however, and many writers argue that it is merely a way of justifying racist attitudes and behaviors. | http://www.simplypsychology.org/katz-braly.html |

This opens in a new window. However, studies have shown that diagnosis is not a reliable tool. Rosenhan (1973) conducted an experiment where the aim was to see whether psychiatrists could reliably distinguish between people who were mentally ill and those who were not. The study consists of two conditions from which in one the hospital were informed that patients will be coming that are not actually mentally ill when in fact no patients were sent at all. In this condition the psychiatrists only diagnosed 41 out of 193 patients as being mentally ill when in reality all patients were mentally ill. In the other conditions, 8 people were told to report at the hospital that they hear noises in their head. As soon as they were administrated, they behaved normally. The doctors in this condition still classified these patients as insane, with a case of dormant schizophrenia. Rosenhan concluded that no psychiatrist can easily diagnose the sane from insane. Though Rosenhan delivered a very accurate report on diagnoses of patients, Rosenhan was criticised for deceiving the hospital for claiming that sane patients were being sent over, though none were actually sent. | http://www.simplypsychology.org/medical-model.html |

Content: Therefore, qualitative research is an interactive process in which the persons studied teach the researcher about their lives. The qualitative researcher is an integral part of the data, without the active participation of the researcher, no data exists. The design of the study evolves during the research, and can be adjusted or changed as it progresses. For the qualitative researcher, there is no single reality, it is subjective and exist only in reference to the observer. Theory is data driven, and emerges as part of the research process, evolving from the data as they are collected. Limitations
Because of the time and costs involved, qualitative designs do not generally draw samples from large-scale data sets. The problem of adequate validity or reliability is a major criticism. Because of the subjective nature of qualitative data and its origin in single contexts, it is difficult to apply conventional standards of reliability and validity. For example, because of the central role played by the researcher in the generation of data, it is not possible to replicate qualitative studies. Also, contexts, situations, events, conditions, and interactions cannot be replicated to any extent nor can generalizations be made to a wider context than the one studied with any confidence
The time required for data collection, analysis and interpretation are lengthy. | http://www.simplypsychology.org/qualitative-quantitative.html |

Analysis of qualitative data is difficult and expert knowledge of an area is necessary to try to interpret qualitative data, and great care must be taken when doing so, for example, if looking for symptoms of mental illness. Strengths
Because of close researcher involvement, the researcher gains an insider's view of the field. This allows the researcher to find issues that are often missed (such as subtleties and complexities) by the scientific, more positivistic inquiries. Qualitative descriptions can play the important role of suggesting possible relationships, causes, effects and dynamic processes. Qualitative analysis allows for ambiguities/contradictions in the data, which are a reflection of social reality (Denscombe, 2010). | http://www.simplypsychology.org/qualitative-quantitative.html |

Social Roles
By Dr. Saul McLeod, published 2008
There are many ways that people can influence our behavior, but perhaps one of the most important is that the presence of others seems to set up expectations
We do not expect people to behave randomly but to behave in certain ways in particular situations. Each social situation entails its own particular set of expectations about the “proper” way to behave. Such expectations can vary from group to group. One way in which these expectations become apparent is when we look at the roles that people play in society. Social roles are the part people play as members of a social group. With each social role you adopt, your behavior changes to fit the expectations both you and others have of that role. In the words of William Shakespeare: All the worlds a stage,
And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits, and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. | http://www.simplypsychology.org/social-roles.html |

And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits, and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. These lines capture the essence of social roles. Think of how many roles you play in a single day, e.g. son, daughter, sister, brother, students, worker, friend etc. Each social role carries expected behaviors called norms. Social Norms
Social norms are the unwritten rules of beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that are considered acceptable in a particular social group or culture. Norms provide us with an expected idea of how to behave, and function to provide order and predictability in society. | http://www.simplypsychology.org/social-roles.html |

Conclusion
How to reference this article:
Content: There are norms defining appropriate behavior for every social group. For example, students, neighbors and patients in a hospital are all aware of the norms governing behavior. And as the individual moves from one group to another, their behavior changes accordingly. Norms provide order in society. It is difficult to see how human society could operate without social norms. Human beings need norms to guide and direct their behavior, to provide order and predictability in social relationships and to make sense of and understanding of each other’s actions. These are some of the reasons why most people, most of the time, conform to social norms. Conclusion
There is considerable pressure to conform to social roles. Social roles provide an example of social influence in general and conformity in particular. Most of us, most of the time, conform to the guidelines provided by the roles we perform. | http://www.simplypsychology.org/social-roles.html |

Most of us, most of the time, conform to the guidelines provided by the roles we perform. We conform to the expectations of others, we respond to their approval when we play our roles well, and to their disapproval when we play our roles badly. But how far will conformity go?

Lower the heat to medium and cover the pan. Let cook for about 10 minutes, until the potato layer at the bottom is nicely browned.

Boil lobsters for 10 to 20 min, depending on size: Note the time at which the water comes to a boil again. From that point, boil the lobsters for 10-20 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the lobster. 10-13 minutes for 1 lb lobster, 12-18 minutes for a 1 1/2 pound lobster, 18-23 minutes for a 2-3 pound lobster. The lobsters should be a bright vivid red color when done. Note that larger lobsters will turn bright red before they are completely finished cooking, so you do want to time your cooking, and not just go on color alone. Unlike with fresh scallops or fish that you can eat raw (think sashimi), you don't want to eat raw or undercooked lobster. Translucent undercooked lobster meat really doesn't taste good. It needs to be opaque through and through. | http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_boil_and_eat_lobster/ |

These crispy thin potato slices are just divine. I call them potato chips because they taste like the best potato chips you will ever have. But I suspect that one might not classify them as a chip given their 1/8 inch thickness. In any case, they are really really good, and like anything really really good probably shouldn't be eaten more than once or twice a month. Oven-fried Potato Chips

The sauce alone is worth making this pork schnitzel for, and could easily be used on chicken, for turkey meatballs, or over fish. How to Make Schnitzel That Shines
To ensure your schnitzel turns out well, follow these tips. For less pounding, start out with thin cutlets, no more than 1/2 inch thick. Pat the cutlets dry with a paper towel. The flour will stick to dry cutlets better. If you're concerned about the breading staying on the cutlets, bread them an hour before cooking. Put them in a single layer, uncovered, on a tray in the refrigerator; | http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/pork_schnitzel/ |

She starts the roast at a high temperature to get browning for flavor, and then lowers the oven temp and cooks the beef "slow and low" for a couple hours. This slow roasting method at low heat is good for tougher cuts of beef; the lower heat prevents gristle from getting too tough. Roast beef made this way is easy, relatively inexpensive (compared to other cuts of beef), and you get great leftovers for roast beef sandwiches. Roast Beef

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
8-10 slivers of garlic (3 to 4 cloves, sliced in half or into thirds)
Salt and pepper
For the gravy: Red wine, water, and or beef stock

Content: Often, water, heating, and electric companies have assistance programs in place for those who can’t afford to pay the bill. The funds are drawn from a community sponsored fund or may be part of a grant initiative from the government or even by the utility company directly. What usually happens is that your bill cost will be reduced or you will be given credit of some sort. This is not a permanent solution, but if you are behind it can give you some breathing room and keep your utilities turned ON for a time. Look at the Federal and State programs that offer some sort of grant assistance for utilities. Look at various non-profit organizations that offer utility bill help. Assistance from Utility Companies
If you have problems paying your utility bill, the best thing to do right away is contact them and ask what sort of assistance programs are offered, either by them directly or by other programs by other organizations. Chances are there are in fact programs in place that can provide you with some assistance. Restructured Utility Payment Plans: Your utility company may restructure your bill debt over a longer period of time if you can’t pay a lump sum. | http://www.singlemoms.org/utility-bill-assistance-guide-help-paying-your-electric-water-or-heating-bills/ |

Content: While this is not directly financial assistance, it does allow more flexibility for your payments. In-house Utility Assistance Programs: Some utility companies do offer assistance programs for customers who can’t pay their bills. You will need to call your utility company in question directly and ask what help programs (if any) are offered. Chances are there is some program available, especially if the company is a large nation company. This can apply to energy, heating, and water utility companies. Winter Protection Programs and Plan: Some utility companies have plans in place NOT to shut down or disconnect essential services such as heating IF members of that house scheduled to be disconnected are sick or there are senior citizens living there or children. This plan is often required by the government, but it can change depending on the state you live in. Note this is not a grant program – you will likely need to commit to a repayment plan, but it’s useful to keep the heating on during the winter when you need it. | http://www.singlemoms.org/utility-bill-assistance-guide-help-paying-your-electric-water-or-heating-bills/ |

Content: The idea behind this is to fundraise funds to assist those who cannot afford to pay their electric or heating bills. This is a collective consortium of very diverse members and the network itself does not provide direct funds but rather backs local organizations with funds for utility assistance. Your best bet is to contact your local Community Action Agency. Operation Roundup: A program that gives out cash assistance to households who cannot pay their utility bills (heating, electric, etc). This program is shared by many different utility companies around the US, so it should be available in pretty much every state. To apply for this aid, you will need to send off an application with the utility company offering this program. There is no guarantee of acceptance (your case will be looked at by someone), but if you get approval, the grant money can be used to pay off your utility bills and can range from a few dollars to hundreds – even thousands – of dollars. To apply: call up your utility company and ask if they offer financial assistance. | http://www.singlemoms.org/utility-bill-assistance-guide-help-paying-your-electric-water-or-heating-bills/ |

The government has various energy and utility bill assistance programs for seniors, single moms, single dads and other individuals who are unable to make payments for essential utilities. This includes water, electricity, heating, and even home repairs. The idea behind these programs is founded on the believe that everyone deserves the basic necessities of life – and if your financial ability does not allow you to pay for such, then temporary aid will be provided to make sure you can survive. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP): Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is the largest energy assistance program in the United States.

Janet Du Bois sang the theme song. There is absolutely no question about that. Oh, but there is. First of all, compare her on The Jeffersons theme and then listen to the Good Times theme. Just maybe she's singing with the group towards the end of the theme when the whole group sings the last line but that certainly isn't her singing "Any time you need a friend" or "Just lookin' out of the window, watching the asphalt grow" or "Easy credit and ripoffs". | http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-13740.html |

Content: The scene is offered to us as a symbol of
social unity which is about to be broken and will not be restored until the
closing scenes (e.g., King Lear, Macbeth, Richard II). Then,
something unusual and often unexpected happens to upset that normality. The
event may be something natural, like a ship wreck (as in Twelfth Nightor
The Tempest), supernatural (as in Macbethand Hamlet), a
decision made by a particular character (as in King Learor As You
Like It) or a sudden quarrel (e.g., As You Like It, Henry IV, Part 1). Often this event which kick starts the action is given very quickly with no
attempt to provide a detailed explanation for it or even, in some cases,
instantly plausible motivation (e.g., Cordelia's refusal to answer Lear,
Oliver's decision to seek Orlando's death). At all events, this upset (which
typically occurs very early in the action) disturbs the normal situation,
creates confusion and conflict. Such conflict may be the source of much humour
(for example, in the various mistaken identities which occur when a set of twins
or, as in Comedy of Errors, two sets of twins, unexpectedly get loose in
the community), or it may be the source of much political, personal, and
psychological torment. Attempts to understand what is going on or to deal with
it simply compound the conflict, accelerating it and intensifying it. Finally,
the conflict is resolved. The terms
comedy and tragedy commonly refer to the ways in which dramatic conflicts are
resolved. In comedy, the confusion ends when everyone recognizes what has been
going on, learns from it, forgives, forgets, and re-establishes his or her
identity in the smoothly functioning social group (which may return to the
original normality or may be setting up a better situation than the one the
group started with). | http://www.siue.edu/~ejoy/eng208NotesOnComedyAndTragedy.htm |

Headings:
Content: If you've walked into a U.S. junior high or high school recently (or even in the past couple of decades), you've seen them. The group of guys and girls dressed in mostly black, some with pale, almost whitish skin, dark lips and nails, dark flowing dresses and skirts (aka Victorian or Renaissance era), fishnets, a studded collar or two and plenty of buckles. The Goths are a subculture that emerged out of the late '70s, early '80s punk scene. At the heart of the gothic subculture is their resistance to being defined, which of course makes describing them somewhat difficult. The Goth subculture emerged from the late-'70s punk scene and now involves wearing dark clothing and embracing the darker things in life. Goth.net, a resource set up for the "benefit of the Goth community," defines Goths as, "A group of people who feel comfortable within each other's company. There is no specific thing that defines what you need to do or be to fit into the Goth scene (except of course the implied black clothing). People in the Goth scene all have different musical tastes, follow different religions, have different occupations, hobbies, and fashion sense." "Spurned by Normal Society"
The major binding factor among Goths seems to be their sense of detachment from "normal" society, and a feeling that they do not fit in within these normal circles. "Most Goths become Goths because they have been spurned by 'normal' society, because the way they want to live their lives does not fit in with how most people are told to live theirs," reads Goth.net. | http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/06/04/26/the-modern-goth-subculture-who-are-these-youths.htm |

Members of the Gothic community define themselves as free thinkers. While outsiders looking in often see the Goth way of life as dark and rather morbid, "Goth unashamedly celebrates the dark recesses of the human psyche," according to A Goth Primer Web site, which includes "dark sensuality, sweeping sadness, morbid fascination, forbidden love, the beauty of enduring pain …"
"Many people lead unhappy, unachieved lives … Goth makes depression and angst a lifestyle choice, and that's art," A Goth Primer continues. Stereotypes: Are Violence, Paganism and Death a Part of the Goth Subculture? The characteristic "Goth" is reclusive and melancholy, yet smart, and many come from educated backgrounds. | http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/06/04/26/the-modern-goth-subculture-who-are-these-youths.htm |

Goths do wear mostly dark clothing and share a general dissatisfaction with society and/or a desire to be different. Music, art and literature are also part of the Goth subculture. Music can include a number of dark, tragic and mysterious sounds, including bands like Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Fields of the Nephilim, and the Sisters of Mercy (however, some also mention a large '80s music following among the Goth community). In a new study, 53 percent of youths in the Goth subculture reported self-harming behaviors, compared to 7-14 percent in the general youth population. Violence, however, is not a part of the traditional Goth scene, with most members describing themselves as pacifistic, open-minded and accepting of everyone. | http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/06/04/26/the-modern-goth-subculture-who-are-these-youths.htm |

And, modern Goths do not associate with any religion. They are not Satanists, as is commonly thought, but instead encompass a wide range of religions, from Christianity to Buddhism. Goth: Helpful or Harmful? After the Columbine High School shootings in 1999, there was considerable backlash against the Goth subculture, as it was initially thought that the two teen killers belonged to the group. | http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/06/04/26/the-modern-goth-subculture-who-are-these-youths.htm |

THE ECONOMIC HISTORY OF GERMANY
The Industrial Revolution of Germany
The Industrial Revolution began about a century later in Germany than it did in England. Germany did not exist as a political unit until the latter part of the nineteenth century. First came the Zollverein (Toll Union) in 1833 that, by abolishing tolls between the various German principalities, made Germany into a common market. For a period of decades, until about 1860's, there were attempts at imitating in Germany the industrialization that had taken place elsewhere in Europe. This imitation was only moderately successful. In 1870 the modern German nation was created and thereafter major industries were founded that led to the full fledged industrialization of Germany. The southern side of the Rhine Valley of Germany was incorporated into France by Napoleon. At that time France was, despite its economic shortcomings with respect to England and Belgium, quite a bit more advanced than Germany. This period of forced integration with France stimulated economic change in the Rhine Valley. In 1815 this area became independent of France but retained some of the economic and institutional reforms of the Napoleonic period. | http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/germany.htm |

Content: It is an automatic response. Similarly, we have hundreds, even thousands of other beliefs that create automatic thoughts and responses. Many of these beliefs are true and serve us well. But there are even more that are not based on fact and only serve to hold us back in a negative way. When we have deeply-rooted beliefs that we cling to subconsciously, our minds will constantly look for proof to validate and bolster them. How we think, act, and feel is based upon these beliefs. For example, if we believe that all dogs are dangerous (perhaps because our parents told us so when we were younger or we were bitten by the neighbour’s dog), we will do everything possible to avoid contact with dogs. We might even take special notice every time we notice a dog growl and view it as evidence of how dogs are dangerous animals, and we feel afraid. Conversely, we might even neglect to notice when a friendly dog wags its tail and approaches us in a docile manner. It is as if we are experiencing the world through filtered lenses because of our beliefs. | http://www.skilledatlife.com/how-beliefs-are-formed-and-how-to-change-them/ |

Summary of Clarification
Use clarification, reflection and summarising to help with your interpersonal relationships.
Content: Summarising and seeking feedback as to its accuracy. Clarification Questions
When you are the listener in a sensitive environment, the right sort of non-directive questioning can enable the speaker to describe their viewpoint more fully. Asking the right question at the right time can be crucial and comes with practice. The best questions are open-ended as they give the speaker choice in how to respond, whereas closed questions allow only very limited responses. Open Questions
If your role is to assist a speaker to talk about an issue, often the most effective questioning starts with 'when', 'where', 'how' or 'why'. These questions encourage speakers to be open and expand on their thoughts. For example: “When did you first start feeling like this?” “Why do you feel this way?” Closed Questions
Closed questions usually elicit a 'yes' or 'no' response and do not encourage speakers to be open and expand on their thoughts. | http://www.skillsyouneed.com/ips/clarification.html |
msmarco_v2.1_doc_09_520214586#7_797156935 | Title: Effective Decision Making | SkillsYouNeed
Headings:
Decision Making
What is Decision Making?
In its simplest sense, decision-making is the act of choosing between two or more courses of action.
Intuition
Intuition is using your ‘gut feeling’ about possible courses of action.
Reasoning
Reasoning is using the facts and figures in front of you to make decisions.
Applying Both Reason and Intuition
Effective Decision-Making
An effective decision-making process, therefore, needs to ensure that you are able to do so.
What Can Prevent Effective Decision-Making?
There are a number of problems that can prevent effective decision-making. These include:
1. Not Enough Information
2. Too Much Information
3. Too Many People
4. Vested Interests
5. Emotional Attachments
6. No Emotional Attachment
Content: Not Enough Information
If you do not have enough information, it can feel like you are making a decision without any basis. Take some time to gather the necessary data to inform your decision, even if the timescale is very tight. If necessary, prioritise your information-gathering by identifying which information will be most important to you. 2. Too Much Information
The opposite problem, but one that is seen surprisingly often: having so much conflicting information that it is impossible to see ‘the wood for the trees’. This is sometimes called analysis paralysis, and is also used as a tactic to delay organisational decision-making, with those involved demanding ever more information before they can decide. This problem can often be resolved by getting everyone together to decide what information is really important and why, and by setting a clear timescale for decision-making, including an information-gathering stage. 3. Too Many People
Making decisions by committee is difficult. | http://www.skillsyouneed.com/ips/decision-making.html |

Making decisions by committee is difficult. Everyone has their own views, and their own values. And while it’s important to know what these views are, and why and how they are important, it may be essential for one person to take responsibility for making a decision. Sometimes, any decision is better than none. 4. Vested Interests
Decision-making processes often founder under the weight of vested interests. | http://www.skillsyouneed.com/ips/decision-making.html |

Lifelong Learning
Lifelong learners are motivated to learn and develop because they want to: it is a deliberate and voluntary act.
Learning for its own sake brings its own advantages. For example, learning in whatever context:
Learning for Personal Development
Learning for Professional Development
Our capacity to earn is directly related to our willingness to learn.
Although qualifications may get you an interview, actually getting the job can take a lot more.
Putting the time in for extra learning brings its own rewards.

Learning Gives You Options
Whatever your age, it's never too late to start.
Relying on job permanence for earnings and promotion is not as feasible as it once was.
Content: See our page Self-Motivation for more. Acquire
Effective learning requires that you acquire information through reading, listening, observing, practising, experimenting and experience. Information is all around you: the trick is to acquire relevant and meaningful information and develop this into knowledge and skills. See our Study Skills section for more on effective learning techniques. Search
Learning is successful when we can search for a personal meaning in the information we’re acquiring. We find it hard to remember facts without understanding them or being able to put them into context. Learning is about applying what you acquire and asking yourself questions such as: ‘ How does this idea help in my life? ’ or ‘ What has this experience taught me about myself? ’ | http://www.skillsyouneed.com/learn/lifelong-learning.html |

Content: As RNAV accuracy has improved, it has begun to play a vital role in increasing ATM efficiency whilst also sustaining safety performance. The advent of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), mainly in the specific form of GPS, has now brought a completely new opportunity to derive an accurate three-dimensional (VNAV) position as well as a highly accurate two-dimensional (LNAV) position over an area not restricted by the disposition of ground transmitters. RNAV of sufficient accuracy is now seen ultimately as providing a replacement for all ground-based navigational aids. Although the only reliable and extensive GNSS presently available is the GPS coverage of the US Department of Defence, there is also the partially operative Russian Global Orbiting Navigation System (GLONASS) system and the planned European system, GALILEO. Initial GALILEO services will be made available by the end of 2016. Then, as the constellation is built-up, new services will be tested and made available, with system completion scheduled for 2020. Although the use of GNSS input for RNAV has made this method of navigation truly global, it has led to the availability of a very wide range of accuracy in RNAV - and therefore the uses to which it can be put - depending on how GNSS data is used. RNAV use of GNSS varies from hand held GPS, as an aid to day Visual Flight Rules (VFR) navigation, to the use of approach procedures which meet the highest accuracy and integrity standards of RNP-RNAV. In Europe, Basic Area Navigation (B-RNAV) has been in use since 1998 and is mandated for aircraft using higher level airspace. It requires a minimum navigational accuracy of +/- 5nm (RNP=5) for 95% of the time and is not approved for use below Minimum Sector Altitude. | http://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Area_Navigation_Systems |

European standards for Precision Area Navigation (P-RNAV) are now also defined - a navigational accuracy of +/- 1nm (RNP=1) for 95% of the time. Qualifying systems must have the ability to fly accurate tactical offsets, P-RNAV routes must be extracted directly from the FMS data base and must be flown by linking the R-NAV system to the Flight Management System / Autopilot. As well, flight crews are restricted from manually adding waypoints to the route. This level of navigation accuracy can be achieved using DME/DME, VOR/DME or GPS. It can also be maintained for short periods using IRS (the length of time that a particular IRS can be used to maintain P-RNAV accuracy without external update is determined at the time of equipment certification). | http://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Area_Navigation_Systems |

It should be noted that if GPS is not used as a source then two independent ground-based sources are required to meet P-RNAV minimum requirements apart from specified short periods of INS ‘backup’, which is a more stringent requirement than for some older FMS. P-RNAV is now being used to provide more routes and terminal area procedures and may be used down to the FAF on designated approach procedures. Since the use of a GNSS source for navigation in P-RNAV is optional, it is used only for lateral navigation and baro-VNAV. The final stage of RNAV navigational performance RNP-RNAV combines VNAV with LNAV at an RNP <1, which is expected to be between 0.3nm and 0.1nm for LNAV. This will require suitable augmented GNSS to be the source of position rather than an option for it and will deliver precision approach accuracy in both VNV an LNAV. | http://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Area_Navigation_Systems |

You and Your Dumb Money
Why you picked the wrong mutual funds—again.
Content: Dumb money (individual investors, the sort of people who casually watch CNBC for stock tips) generally fares poorly. Individual investors—that is, we—are considered such dumb money that many professional investors regard us as contrary indicators. The lemminglike masses get excited and overly optimistic when the market’s about to top, and they tend to get fearful and overly pessimistic when the market’s about to bottom. So, if you could just figure out what the dumb money is doing and zig when it zags, that may be a path to easy profits. Advertisement
Now a new working paper by two economists, Andrea Frazzini of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and Owen Lamont of the Yale School of Management, offers an excellent case study of dumbness: our incompetent investment in mutual funds. The paper also implicitly suggests how we can fix our own mistakes. Advertisement
Advertisement
In theory, if investors picked and chose carefully from among the thousands of fund managers to place their money with great long-term stewards, then “flows should be positively correlated with future returns.” But as a class, mutual-fund investors are short-term return-chasers. If a fund puts up good numbers for a few quarters, it will attract lots of new cash. “ | http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2005/08/you_and_your_dumb_money.html |

If you’re one of the 45 million Americans who plan to go on a diet this year, I’ve got one word of advice for you: Don’t. You’ll likely lose weight in the short term, but your chance of keeping if off for five years or more is about the same as your chance of surviving metastatic lung cancer: 5 percent. And when you do gain back the weight, everyone will blame you. Including you. This isn’t breaking news; | http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2015/03/diets_do_not_work_the_thin_evidence_that_losing_weight_makes_you_healthier.html |

Content: You’ll likely lose weight in the short term, but your chance of keeping if off for five years or more is about the same as your chance of surviving metastatic lung cancer: 5 percent. And when you do gain back the weight, everyone will blame you. Including you. This isn’t breaking news; doctors know the holy trinity of obesity treatments—diet, exercise, and medication—don’t work. They know yo-yo dieting is linked to heart disease, insulin resistance, higher blood pressure, inflammation, and, ironically, long-term weight gain. Still, they push the same ineffective treatments, insisting they’ll make you not just thinner but healthier. Advertisement

In reality, 97 percent of dieters regain everything they lost and then some within three years. Obesity research fails to reflect this truth because it rarely follows people for more than 18 months. | http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2015/03/diets_do_not_work_the_thin_evidence_that_losing_weight_makes_you_healthier.html |

Content: Right now, we know obesity is linked with certain diseases, most strongly type 2 diabetes, but as scientists are fond of saying, correlation does not equal causation. Maybe weight gain is an early symptom of type 2 diabetes. Maybe some underlying mechanism causes both weight gain and diabetes. Maybe weight gain causes diabetes in some people but not others. People who lose weight often see their blood sugar improve, but that’s likely an effect of calorie reduction rather than weight loss. Type 2 diabetics who have bariatric surgery go into complete remission after only seven days, long before they lose much weight, because they’re eating only a few hundred calories a day. Advertisement
Disease is also attributed to what we eat (or don’t), and here, too, the connections are often assumed to relate to weight. For instance, eating fast food once a week has been linked to high blood pressure, especially for teens. And eating fruits and vegetables every day is associated with lower risk of heart disease. But it’s a mistake to simply assume weight is the mechanism linking food and disease. | http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2015/03/diets_do_not_work_the_thin_evidence_that_losing_weight_makes_you_healthier.html |

Content: They have no cogent answer. It may be true that America is overcooled, but then again it’s also overheated. No one writes op-eds to make the latter point. Advertisement
This week’s essay in the Times tries to fuel the anti-cooling dogma, but its energy is wasted. There’s no logic here, only specious and confusing claims backed up with shoddy science. “ As infants we learn to associate warmth with the safety of our parents’ arms,” author Kate Murphy writes. “ Our subconscious equates cold with vulnerability, which partly explains why people can be so miserable when they are chilled.” That must be why we’re so averse to eating ice cream: It makes us feel unsafe.

How does this relate to air conditioning? A blast of cold, like you’d get when you walk into a chilled lobby on a summer day, “may feel good at first,” she writes, but the rapid shift in temperature can make “the hypothalamus go nuts, intensifying physical and psychological discomfort when the initial pleasure wears off.” I’ll admit that does sound pretty bad—no one wants a nutty hypothalamus. But the essay doesn’t tell us if these rapid shifts in temperature cause the same derangement during winter. Would it discombobulate the diencephalon to warm yourself beside the fire on a frigid night, or sip a steaming cup of cocoa?

At one point it proposes that building managers might be setting thermostats too low because they’re “heavyset, as body fat is the ultimate heat insulator.” This has the science somewhat backward: Body fat is indeed an insulator, and that means that it prevents a person’s core body heat from seeping out into her skin. ( You’ll recall the skin is where you’d find a person’s thermoreceptors.) As a result, a fat person might end up feeling colder than a skinny person, and not the other way around.

According to the Times, overcooling makes people less happy and productive. We “work less and make more mistakes” at 70 degrees than we do at 75 degrees, the essay says, citing figures from an observational study of 19 workers at a sales office in Piscataway, New Jersey. While it’s true the researchers found a correlation between ambient air temperature and workers’ “correct keystrokes,” the result applied only to a subset of their study group—the seven people who happened to experience temperature shifts of more than 7 degrees during the study. | http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2015/07/air_conditioning_energy_ac_saves_lives_and_causes_less_climate_change_than.html |

One recent paper looked at 70 factory workers exposed to different temperatures and found that those in hotter conditions made more mistakes and showed signs of temporary cognitive impairment. Controlled experiments in the lab generally come to the same conclusion. And if you go by research from Japan, where office thermostats are set at 82 degrees during the summer, some two-thirds of employees describe themselves as being uncomfortable and unproductive in July and August. | http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2015/07/air_conditioning_energy_ac_saves_lives_and_causes_less_climate_change_than.html |

Yet the Times op-ed doesn’t stop at claiming that AC makes us unproductive. It also alleges that too much cooling turns us “untrusting, uncommunicative, and unfriendly.” There’s a hint of truth in this: Research on what is sometimes called “embodied cognition” has found that temperature cues (an ice pack on your hand, a heating pad on your chair, a cold or hot beverage in your hand) can make a person slightly more or less inclined to seek out social contact or inclusion. But the nature and magnitude of this effect varies quite a bit, depending on such factors as the mood and situation of the subject and her baseline personality. | http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2015/07/air_conditioning_energy_ac_saves_lives_and_causes_less_climate_change_than.html |

What’s more, there’s plenty of other evidence linking hot weather to expressions of mental illness. A recent study of several decades’ worth of suicide data from Toronto and Jackson, Mississippi, found that people were more likely to kill themselves during heat waves. Advertisement

The latter fact reveals that the squabble over air conditioning isn’t just about one’s social status and affiliation. It’s a matter of public health. Heat waves kill at least as readily as cold, causing hundreds of deaths every year in the United States. Next Monday marks the 20 th anniversary of a tragic spell of brutal weather in Chicago that caused more than 700 heat-related deaths within a single week. Among the most affected were the impoverished elderly, who either had no AC units or could not afford to use them. Advertisement
But for comfortably climate-controlled members of the brrr-geoisie, February must seem far more deadly than July. It’s a function of the climate where they live. In New York City, winters are unlivable while summers merely suck. | http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2015/07/air_conditioning_energy_ac_saves_lives_and_causes_less_climate_change_than.html |

Years from now, when we look back on Bill Clinton’s presidency, its defining moment may well be Clinton’s rationalization to the grand jury about why he wasn’t lying when he said to his top aides that with respect to Monica Lewinsky, “There’s nothing going on between us.” How can this be? Here’s what Clinton told the grand jury (according to footnote 1,128 in Starr’s report): “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the—if he—if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement. … Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true.” The distinction between “is” and “was” was seized on by the commentariat when Clinton told Jim Lehrer of PBS right after the Lewinsky story broke, “There is no improper relationship.” | http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/chatterbox/1998/09/bill_clinton_and_the_meaning_of_is.html |

The national conversation about guns, and about gun control, should include the relationship between guns and suicide. We recently analyzed a decade’s worth of data on guns and suicides in the United States and we found that the relationship is clear: more guns, more suicides. Suicide is neglected compared with the large quantity of research on the relationship between homicides and guns, a relationship which remains controversial because it’s difficult to demonstrate causality. Places with lots of guns may have high homicide rates, but is this because guns cause homicide or because homicides cause people to buy guns? Or could a third factor—say, a general lack of social trust or high violence in a region—be causing both homicides and gun possession? The relationship between suicides and guns is much easier to tackle because it’s unlikely that an increase in the number of suicides in a community would cause an increase in local gun ownership.

So in a new paper published in the International Review of Law and Economics, we studied the relationship between guns and suicide in the U.S. from 2000 to 2009. Using five measures of gun ownership and controlling for other factors associated with suicide, such as mental illness, we consistently found that each 1 percentage-point increase in household gun ownership rates leads to between 0.5 and 0.9 percent more suicides. Or, to put it the other way, a percentage-point decrease in household gun ownership leads to between 0.5 and 0.9 percent fewer suicides. Advertisement
Are the people not killing themselves with guns simply committing suicide by other means? Some are—but not all. While reduced household gun ownership did lead to more suicides by other means, suicides went down overall. | http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/crime/2013/12/gun_ownership_causes_higher_suicide_rates_study_shows.html |

Ferguson’s Constitutional Crisis
On the streets of Missouri, it’s not just the First Amendment that’s being violated.

Content: The First Amendment is whatever the cop on the beat says it is.” But as a former public defender told one of us on Wednesday, precisely the same thing is true for the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, and the Eighth Amendment, as well as a lot of the rest of the Bill of Rights. We ignore those other constitutional violations at our peril. This past term, the Supreme Court found it extremely easy (and in fact unanimously agreed) to see that a police’s warrantless search of a cellphone is unconstitutional. More than one commentator observed that it was very easy for the justices to find a constitutional affront here because they all have cellphones and can imagine how intrusive a police search of those phones would be. But it’s much harder for the courts, and even sometimes for the press, to imagine a lifetime of aggregated constitutional violations, from stop-and-frisk policies that disproportionately affect people of color, to civil forfeiture laws and the “war on drugs” that do the same. Advertisement
One need look no further than the current Supreme Court to understand that the First Amendment now plays an outsize role in the national constitutional conversation about everything ranging from money in politics to maintaining order around health clinics to limiting the reach of public-sector unions. And given that the First Amendment is—in Pac-Man fashion—beginning to swallow up all the rest of our doctrine, perhaps it’s no surprise that we see the First Amendment dominating the conversation on the ground in Ferguson as well. We all like to speak, regardless of race and income. And suppression of speech is something that offends all of us across race, gender, and economic lines. | http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2014/08/ferguson_s_constitutional_crisis_first_amendment_violations_are_only_part.html |

Content: These problems have been around for ages—part of our democracy’s built-in tolerance—but they’re setting off alarms now because Florida 2000 changed how we think about voting. Voting used to be a kind of existential exercise. You voted out of a sense of civic responsibility, or you stayed home because you felt your vote didn’t matter. Either way, it rarely affected the outcome of an election. Advertisement
This time around, the vote has been fetishized. Florida 2000 “proved” to voters, particularly in the swing states, that every ballot is vitally important. More than ever, you’re reminded that if you register and vote, you could choose the next president. This message may subtly encourage cheating: Your extra vote, like Joe Moschella’s in Florida, may help alter the course of history. Advertisement

Content: Lack of specificity makes the image more potent and more tame. Advertisement
While at MoMA, the mural became the focus of intense political activism. Commenting on the natural home for the painting, Picasso had said in 1956, “It will do the most good in America.” In 1967, however, 400 artists responding to the Vietnam War signed a petition urging Picasso to take it out of the country: “ Please let the spirit of your painting be reasserted and its message once again felt, by withdrawing your painting from the United States for the duration of the war.” The liberal art historian Meyer Schapiro viewed this as nonsensical political posturing. In a letter to the Art Workers Coalition in 1970 he asked if MoMA was making a protest against the crucifixion by hanging paintings of that subject, and by implication, wondered why Franco was so keen to have Guernica in the Prado, if hanging it implied criticism of all warfare.

Not long after, in 1974, Tony Shafrazi, a young Iranian artist (and later a trendy SoHo dealer) sprayed the words “Kill Lies All” onto the picture, as a protest against U.S. action at My Lai.

A self-proclaimed Guerrilla Art Action Group came to the defense of Shafrazi, arguing that he was completing, not vandalizing, Picasso’s creation. | http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/the_gist/2003/02/hidden_treasures.html |

Is American democracy doomed? An intellectual tradition going back to the nation’s founding holds that it is. Opponents of the Constitution argued that it would create a national dictatorship, and while they lost the founding-era battle, this theme would be carried forward by critics of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and virtually all other presidents, great or small. So far, the doomsayers have been proven wrong. Yet the end-times feeling is hard to shake. Today, commentators such as Matthew Yglesias point to the polarization of the electorate, the paralysis of Congress, and—most of all—a series of presidential actions that, they argue, are expanding presidential power beyond constitutional bounds. Yale professor Bruce Ackerman believes that, sooner or later, a charismatic extremist will take possession of the Oval Office and, unhampered by checks and balances, implement a fanatical program that damages Americans’ freedoms.

The first thing to understand is how modest the accusations are. President Barack Obama stands charged with violating deadlines in the Affordable Care Act and the Dodd-Frank Act; regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act, a 1970 statute that was never expected to regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant; using military force in Libya and against ISIS without congressional authorization; refusing to deport unauthorized immigrants; appointing government officials without Senate confirmation while Congress is in recess; and waiving requirements of George W. Bush’s signature legislative achievement, No Child Left Behind. Advertisement

Presidents have been sending military forces into battle without congressional authorization since almost the founding. The reason for this is that new threats often emerge too rapidly for Congress to address. Obama’s decision not to deport undocumented immigrants was just a continuation of the policy of President George W. Bush and other predecessors; all that was new was his public acknowledgment that this is what he was doing.

A minor but telling tempest brewed in a teapot in 2006 when the Bush administration was accused of fomenting a “ constitutional crisis ” by issuing statements that interpreted portions of bills narrowly when he signed them. In fact, presidents had issued such signing statements for decades. The statements have no legal status—they are not enforceable in court, for example. They simply state how the executive plans to go about implementing statutes, reflecting legal interpretations that the executive must make in order to fit the statutes to circumstances. As far as I know, no one has ever shown that Bush’s signing statements deprived anyone of his legal rights, and Obama has continued this practice. Advertisement

Even more to the point, when you try to identify the most important and controversial actions of Bush and Obama, all of them involve congressional consent. For Bush, Congress authorized the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the expansion of surveillance and detention authorities, a major tax cut, No Child Left Behind, and $700 billion to bail out the financial system in 2008. For Obama, Congress authorized a $787 billion stimulus plan, the Affordable Care Act, and a major overhaul of financial regulation. The presidents’ unilateral actions were incremental or interstitial—acting sometimes ahead of congressional authorization, modifying laws in light of changed circumstances and bureaucratic imperatives, building on existing authorities. | http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/view_from_chicago/2015/10/american_presidential_power_is_not_leading_to_dictatorship.html |

So why the hand-wringing? Presidential powers have undoubtedly increased over the centuries, but the reason is just that effective government today requires a strong presidency. The small agrarian society of the late 18 th century could be governed mainly by the states; the tiny federal government employed a few thousand people, and it handled things like postal services, customs, and defense against Native Americans. In the 19 th century, railroads, telegraphs, and telephones knitted together a national market, ultimately requiring the federal government to step in and regulate across state lines. | http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/view_from_chicago/2015/10/american_presidential_power_is_not_leading_to_dictatorship.html |

Content: All-time records were set for the coldest month in dozens of Eastern cities, with Boston racking up more snow than the peaks of California’s Sierra Nevada. A single January snowstorm in Boston produced more snow than Anchorage has seen all winter. The discrepancy set off some friendly banter recently between the Anchorage, Boston, and San Francisco offices of the National Weather Service. Alaska is at the front lines of climate change. This year’s Iditarod has been rerouted— twice —due to the warm weather. The race traditionally starts in Anchorage, which has had near-record low snowfall so far this winter. The city was without a single significant snowstorm between October and late January, so race organizers decided to move the start from the Anchorage area 360 miles north to Fairbanks. But when the Chena River, which was supposed to be part of the new route’s first few miles, failed to sufficiently freeze, the starting point had to move again, to another location in Fairbanks.
