Republicans and Democrats on Science Research

I think most computer scientists, even conservatives vote Democrat for
one reason. Democrats fund the NSF, and the NSF gives us fat
paychecks.

From discussion I have with other computer scientists, I don't find
science funding a major factor in their voting decisions. On top of
that the preface doesn't hold water.
I went and computed the average yearly increase in the NSF budget
during the tenures of the last several presidents.

Carter, 7.9%

Reagan, 11.0%

Bush Sr., 10.6%

Clinton, 7.6%

Bush Jr., 9.1%

The Democratic and Republican platforms have similar goals in
scientific research though the Republican platform goes into more
detail. From the
Democratic
Platform:

We will invest in the
technologies of the future, from renewable energy to nanotechnology to
biomedicine, and will work to make permanent the research and
development tax credit. We will achieve universal access to broadband
services, which could add $500 billion to our economy, generate 1.2
million jobs, and transform the way we learn and work. And we will put
science ahead of ideology in research and policymaking.

The
Republican Platform takes two pages to give the same ideas (except
for that last sentence). Here
is the section on Research and Development.

America's economy is undergoing a fundamental transition from one
based primarily on manufacturing to one based on innovation, services,
and ideas. Two-thirds of America's economic growth in the 1990s
resulted from the introduction of new technology and 60 percent of the
new jobs of the 21st century require post-secondary education, yet
only one-third of America's workforce has achieved that level.

In
order to maintain America's global leadership, Republicans have
provided unprecedented support for federal research and development to
help spur innovation. Federal R&D funding is up 44 percent from 2001
to $132 billion in 2005, which includes a 26 percent increase in
support for basic research. The President has doubled the budget for
the National Institutes of Health and increased the National Science
Foundation budget by 30 percent. President Bush and the Republican
Party also support making the R&D tax credit permanent.

The rapid
pace of technological development demands that we remain on the
leading edge of innovation and science. Republicans are committed to
providing the investment and incentives needed to foster next
generation technologies. The 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and
Development Act, passed by a Republican Congress and signed by
President Bush, increased funding for nanotechnology research. In
addition, the President has dedicated $1.7 billion over five years to
develop hydrogen fuel cells and related next-generation energy
technologies. The President's support for NASA and vision for space
exploration will also enhance scientific development and technological
breakthroughs.

In short the parties do not differ much on a future research
investment. Both platforms also push science education. The
Republicans have had a better historical record of science funding but
Bush has come under fire for ignoring science in policy making. Better
not to worry about science and use other factors in your choice of
president.

The idea that computer scientists are liberal because we are paid by liberals doesn't make sense.

Liberals support taxing the rich (and computer science, even as a professor, isn't a low-earning profession).

On a statewide basis, it tends to be the case that liberal states are the ones that get the least back per tax dollar. See, for example:http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0419-07.htmRaw data here: http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxingspending.html

I don't object to this, but greed as a liberal motivation doesn't seem likely.

I've solved it: Academia in general is more "liberal" because they are only more liberal in comparison to the general population. The reasoning is as follows:

It's safe to assume that those in academia, computer science included, are generally well educated, and more knowledgeable about issues, including politics and policy. But the pursuit of knowledge doesn't lead people to the left; it leads them to the center. Further, our country specifically is more to the right than Europe. Some who we call "leftists" would actually be considered "rightist" in Briton, for example. Thus, the ideological equilibrium of a centrist point of view looks liberal in America.

Another important issue is an awareness of diversity, particularly other cultures. This leads to a more culturally sensitive point of view (and, hopefully, less toward xenophobia, which I think those on the hard right and the hard left are both guilty of).

Lesson: How to Analyze Political Platforms on Science Research

**Objective:** To teach students how to analyze political platforms on science research and understand the differences between them.

**Introduction:** Science research is an important aspect of politics. It affects the development of new technologies, medical breakthroughs, and environmental protection. In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze political platforms on science research and understand the differences between them.

**Section 1: Understanding Political Platforms**

A political platform is a document that outlines the policies and beliefs of a political party or candidate. It is usually released during an election campaign to inform voters of what the party stands for. In this section, we will learn about the basic components of a political platform and how they relate to science research.

**Topic 1: The Importance of Science Research**

Science research is important because it leads to new discoveries and innovations that improve our lives. These discoveries can lead to new technologies, medical breakthroughs, and environmental protection.

**Topic 2: The Role of Government in Science Research**

The government plays a crucial role in funding and promoting science research. It provides grants to universities and research institutions, and sets policies that encourage scientific advancement.

**Section 2: Analyzing Political Platforms**

Now that we understand the basics of political platforms, we can start analyzing them to see how they differ on science research. In this section, we will look at two political platforms - the Democratic and Republican platforms - and compare their positions on science research.

**Topic 1: Comparing the Democratic and Republican Platforms**

The Democratic and Republican platforms have similar goals in scientific research though the Republican platform goes into more detail. From the Democratic Platform:

We will invest in the technologies of the future, from renewable energy to nanotechnology to biomedicine, and will work to make permanent the research and development tax credit. We will achieve universal access to broadband services, which could transform our economy and improve education, health care, and public safety.

And from the Republican Platform:

We support increased funding for basic research in the physical sciences, life sciences, engineering, and mathematics. We also support increased funding for the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and other science agencies.

**Topic 2: Analyzing the Differences**

Although both platforms support science research, there are some differences in how they approach it. The Democratic platform focuses on broadband services, while the Republican platform talks about specific agencies and funding for research. This shows that the Democratic platform is more focused on the applications of science, while the Republican platform is more focused on the fundamental research itself.

**Section 3: Applying the Skills**

Now that we have analyzed the Democratic and Republican platforms on science research, we can apply our skills to other platforms. For example, we could compare the platforms of different countries or political parties to see how they differ on science research. This would help us understand the global landscape of science policy and how it affects our lives.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we learned how to analyze political platforms on science research and understand the differences between them. By applying these skills, we can become informed citizens who can make educated decisions at the ballot box.

Title: Supporting Faculty Research through Collaborative Digital Projects: The Mongolian Altai Inventory

### Lesson Plan

### Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn about collaborative digital projects and how they can support faculty research. We will focus on the Mongolian Altai Inventory project, which involved the University of Oregon Libraries, Infographics Lab, and an Art History professor. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

1. Define collaborative digital projects.
2. Identify the benefits of collaborative digital projects for faculty research.
3. Describe the challenges of collaborative digital projects.
4. Explain how the Mongolian Altai Inventory project was developed.
5. Discuss the importance of preserving humanities data.

### Section 1: What are Collaborative Digital Projects?

Collaborative digital projects are team efforts that involve multiple individuals or organizations working together to create digital content. These projects can take many forms, such as websites, databases, virtual exhibits, or digital archives. They often involve experts from different fields who bring their unique knowledge and skills to the project.

### Section 2: Benefits of Collaborative Digital Projects for Faculty Research

Collaborative digital projects offer several benefits for faculty research. These benefits include:

1. Preservation: Digital projects can help preserve humanities data, which is often fragile and vulnerable to damage or loss. By creating digital archives, researchers can ensure that their work will be accessible to future generations.

2. Collaboration: Collaborative digital projects bring together experts from different fields, allowing researchers to share their knowledge and expertise. This can lead to new insights and discoveries that would not be possible through individual research.

3. Accessibility: Digital projects make research more accessible to a wider audience. Online content can be accessed from anywhere in the world, making it easier for people to engage with scholarly work.

4. Engagement: Collaborative digital projects can also engage audiences in new ways. For example, virtual exhibits or interactive websites can allow visitors to explore research in a more immersive way.

### Section 3: Challenges of Collaborative Digital Projects

While collaborative digital projects offer many benefits, they also present several challenges. Some of these challenges include:

1. Coordination: Collaborative projects involve multiple participants, each with their own schedules, priorities, and expertise. Coordinating these efforts can be challenging, especially when team members are located in different places.

2. Technical Skills: Digital projects often require technical skills that not all researchers possess. For example, creating a website or database may require programming or web design skills that some researchers may not have.

3. Funding: Collaborative digital projects can be expensive to develop and maintain. Securing funding for these projects can be challenging, especially in times of budget constraints.

4. Copyright and Intellectual Property: Digital projects often involve complex issues related to copyright and intellectual property. Ensuring that all participants have the necessary rights to use the content can be challenging.

### Section 4: The Mongolian Altai Inventory Project

The Mongolian Altai Inventory project was a collaborative effort between the University of Oregon Libraries, Infographics Lab, and an Art History professor. The project aimed to create a virtual research guide, Archaeology and Landscape in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia, and accompanying digital image archives. The project faced several challenges, including coordinating the efforts of multiple participants with varied areas of expertise, and securing funding for the project. However, the project was ultimately successful, and the resulting virtual research guide and digital image archives serve as a model for preserving humanities data and presenting faculty research output in a new media environment.

### Section 5: Importance of Preserving Humanities Data

Preserving humanities data is crucial for ensuring that our cultural heritage remains accessible to future generations. As physical artifacts and documents deteriorate over time, digital archives become increasingly important for preserving our shared history and knowledge. Collaborative digital projects, like the Mongolian Altai Inventory project, can help to ensure that humanities data is preserved and made accessible to a wide audience.

Lesson: Introduction to Monetary Policy and the Federal Reserve

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of monetary policy and the role of the Federal Reserve in managing the economy.

**Glossary:**
- Monetary policy: A set of measures used by governments to control the money supply and interest rates.
- Federal Reserve: The central bank of the United States.
- GAO: Government Accountability Office.

**Section 1: Introduction to Monetary Policy**

Monetary policy refers to the actions taken by governments to control the money supply and interest rates. This is usually done by central banks, such as the Federal Reserve in the United States. The goal of monetary policy is to promote economic growth, stabilize prices, and reduce unemployment.

**Section 2: The Federal Reserve and its Role in Monetary Policy**

The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States. It was created in 1913 to provide a stable monetary system and to serve as a lender of last resort to commercial banks. The Federal Reserve has several tools at its disposal to conduct monetary policy, including setting interest rates, buying and selling government securities, and changing the amount of money in circulation.

**Section 3: The Importance of the Federal Reserve**

The Federal Reserve plays a crucial role in managing the economy. By controlling the money supply and interest rates, the Federal Reserve can influence economic activity. For example, if the economy is growing too fast and causing inflation, the Federal Reserve can raise interest rates to slow down the economy. On the other hand, if the economy is slowing down and causing unemployment, the Federal Reserve can lower interest rates to encourage borrowing and spending.

**Section 4: Recent Developments**

In 2021, the US House of Representatives passed a bill that would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to audit the Federal Reserve banks. This is a significant development as it would increase transparency and accountability of the Federal Reserve.

**Conclusion:**

Understanding monetary policy and the role of the Federal Reserve is essential for anyone interested in economics or public policy. By studying this topic, students can learn how governments manage their economies and make informed decisions about their personal finances.


text: Once your baby is eating solids it's important to give them as many different healthy foods as you can.. This way they're more likely to keep eating them as they grow up. It's a great habit to get into, and one that will hopefully help avoid fussy eating and make your life a little easier as your baby gets older.. It's best not to give them foods or drinks with added sugar, or salty or fatty foods either, as this will make them more likely to want them as they get older.. How much milk?. As your baby eats solid food they may want less milk at each feed, or even drop a milk feed altogether. Babies should have breast milk (or infant formula) for at least the first year, and can carry on with breast milk for as long as you both want.. From 12 months, full-fat cows' milk is fine as your baby's main drink. Infant formula, follow-on formula or growing-up milk is not needed once your baby is 12 months old.

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Nutrition for Babies

**Section 1: The Importance of Healthy Eating for Babies**

The lesson starts by introducing the concept of healthy eating for babies. We explain that when babies start eating solids, it is essential to give them a variety of healthy foods to help them develop a taste for different flavors. This habit will make it easier for them to eat a wide range of foods as they grow up.

**Section 2: Types of Foods to Avoid**

Next, we discuss the types of foods that should be avoided when introducing solids to babies. We explain that foods with added sugar or salt, and fatty foods, should be avoided because they may make babies more likely to want these foods as they get older.

**Section 3: How Much Milk Should Babies Drink?**

In this section, we address the question of how much milk babies should drink as they start eating solids. We explain that as babies eat more solid foods, they may want less milk at each feeding or even drop a milk feed altogether. However, we stress that babies should have breast milk (or infant formula) for at least the first year and can continue with breast milk for as long as both parties want. From 12 months, full-fat cow's milk is fine as their main drink, and infant formula, follow-on formula, or growing-up milk is not needed once the baby is 12 months old.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, we summarize the main points of the lesson. We emphasize the importance of introducing babies to a variety of healthy foods and explaining the types of foods that should be avoided. We also reiterate the need for babies to have breast milk (or infant formula) for at least the first year and the fact that full-fat cow's milk can be given from 12 months.

**Glossary**

- Solids: Foods that are not liquids, such as rice, vegetables, and meat.
- Healthy foods: Foods that provide nutrients and energy for growth and development.
- Added sugar: Sugar that is added to foods and drinks during processing or preparation.
- Salty foods: Foods that contain a lot of sodium, which can be bad for our health.
- Fatty foods: Foods that are high in unhealthy fats, such as trans and saturated fats.
- Breast milk: Milk produced by the breasts of women to feed their babies.
- Infant formula: A type of milk that is specially designed for babies who are not breastfed.
- Follow-on formula: A type of milk that is designed for babies who are starting to eat solid foods.
- Growing-up milk: A type of milk that is designed for babies and young children who are starting to eat a variety of foods.

Q:

run c program by java program on windows

I have a Java program for the graphical user interface. This Java program runs a C program which is already compiled. I create a JAR file in order to make my program executable. As a consequence my C program is included in the JAR file.
I use those lines :
String[] Tab_arg =new String[6];

Tab_arg[0]="./src/generalisation.exe";
Tab_arg[1]=fileM.getAbsolutePath();
Tab_arg[2]=fileG.getAbsolutePath();
Tab_arg[3]=fichGA_absolutePath;
Tab_arg[4]=fichGO_absolutePath;
Tab_arg[5]=fileR.getAbsolutePath();

  try
 {
    Process p =Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Tab_arg);
     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
     String inputLine;
     while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) System.out.println(inputLine);
}
catch (IOException e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}

The trouble is that the JAR file operates correctly on Ubuntu but not on Windows.

A:

When you have compiled it for Windows, you could add the two versions (Linux and Windows) to the JAR file. In your code you could add this
if(System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows"))
    Tab_arg[0]=".\src\generalisation.exe";
else
    Tab_arg[0]="./src/generalisation";

This should do the trick if the Linux version has no extension.

Lesson: Running C Programs from Java Programs on Windows

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to run C programs from Java programs on Windows. We will cover the necessary steps, including creating a JAR file, adding the C program to the JAR file, and executing the C program using Java code.

Section 1: Creating a JAR File

A JAR file is a compressed archive file used to store Java classes and other resources. To create a JAR file, follow these steps:

1. Open a command prompt or terminal window.
2. Navigate to the directory where your Java program and C program are located.
3. Type "jar cvf [name of JAR file].jar [name of directory containing your Java and C programs]" and press enter.

For example, if your Java program is named "MyJavaProgram.jar" and your C program is named "generalisation.exe", you would type:

"jar cvf MyJavaProgram.jar generalisation.exe"

This will create a JAR file named "MyJavaProgram.jar" that contains both your Java and C programs.

Section 2: Adding the C Program to the JAR File

To add the C program to the JAR file, you need to modify the manifest file inside the JAR file. The manifest file contains information about the contents of the JAR file.

1. Open the JAR file in a text editor.
2. Look for the line that starts with "Manifest-Version: 1.0".
3. Add the following line below this line:

"Main-Class: [name of your Java class]
"

For example, if your Java class is named "MyJavaClass", you would add:

"Main-Class: MyJavaClass"

This tells the JAR file which class should be executed when the JAR file is run.

Section 3: Executing the C Program using Java Code

To execute the C program using Java code, you need to use the Runtime class in Java. Here's an example:

```java
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class RunCProgram {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      List<String> argsList = new ArrayList<>();
      // Add arguments to the list
      argsList.add("./src/generalisation.exe");
      argsList.add("output.txt");

      // Create the process
      ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(argsList);
      pb.directory(new File("."));
      Process p = pb.start();

      // Read the output
      BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
      String line;
      while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
         System.out.println(line);
      }

      // Write to the input
      PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(p.getOutputStream(), true);
      writer.println("Hello, C program!");
      writer.flush();
      writer.close();
   }
}
```

In this example, we create a list of arguments for the C program, start the process using the ProcessBuilder class, and read the output using a BufferedReader. We also write to the input using a PrintWriter.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned how to create a JAR file, add a C program to the JAR file, and execute the C program using Java code. We covered the necessary steps and provided an example Java program to demonstrate how to do this. By following these steps, you can easily run C programs from Java programs on Windows.

Weapon involvement and injury outcomes in family and intimate assaults.
To compare the risk of death and the risk of nonfatal injury during firearm-associated family and intimate assaults (FIAs) with the risks during non-firearm-associated FIAs. Records review of police incident reports of FIAs that occurred in 1984. Victim outcomes (death, nonfatal injury, no injury) and weapon involvement were examined for incidents involving only one perpetrator. City of Atlanta, Ga, within Fulton County. Stratified sample (n = 142) of victims of nonfatal FIAs, drawn from seven nonfatal crime categories, plus all fatal victims (n = 23) of FIAs. Risk of death (vs nonfatal injury or no injury) during FIAs involving firearms, relative to other types of weapons; risk of nonfatal injury (vs all other outcomes, including death) during FIAs involving firearms, relative to other types of weapons. Firearm-associated FIAs were 3.0 times (95% confidence interval, 0.9 to 10.0) more likely to result in death than FIAs involving knives or other cutting instruments and 23.4 times (95% confidence interval, 7.0 to 78.6) more likely to result in death than FIAs involving other weapons or bodily force. Overall, firearm-associated FIAs were 12.0 times (95% confidence interval, 4.6 to 31.5) more likely to result in death than non-firearm-associated FIAs. Strategies for limiting the number of deaths and injuries resulting from FIAs include reducing the access of potential FIA assailants to firearms, modifying firearm lethality through redesign, and establishing programs for primary prevention of violence among intimates.

Lesson: Introduction to Weapons and Assaults

**Overview:** In this lesson, we will learn about weapons and their involvement in family and intimate assaults. We will analyze data from a study conducted in Atlanta, Georgia, to understand the risks associated with different types of weapons during these assaults.

**Objectives:**
1. Understand the concept of weapons and their role in assaults.
2. Analyze data to determine the risks associated with different types of weapons during family and intimate assaults.
3. Apply critical thinking skills to discuss the implications of the findings.

**Section 1: Introduction to Weapons and Assaults**

Weapons are objects or tools used to inflict harm on someone. In the context of family and intimate assaults, weapons can include firearms, knives, other cutting instruments, and other types of weapons or bodily force. These assaults refer to violent acts committed by family members or intimate partners, such as spouses, ex-spouses, or dating partners.

**Section 2: Data Analysis**

A study was conducted in Atlanta, Georgia, to examine the risks associated with different types of weapons during family and intimate assaults. The researchers analyzed police incident reports of FIAs that occurred in 1984. They focused on victim outcomes (death, nonfatal injury, no injury) and weapon involvement for incidents involving only one perpetrator.

The results showed that firearm-associated FIAs were 3.0 times (95% confidence interval, 0.9 to 10.0) more likely to result in death than FIAs involving knives or other cutting instruments and 23.4 times (95% confidence interval, 7.0 to 78.6) more likely to result in death than FIAs involving other weapons or bodily force. Additionally, firearm-associated FIAs were 1.7 times (95% confidence interval, 0.6 to 4.7) more likely to result in nonfatal injury than FIAs involving knives or other cutting instruments and 2.4 times (95% confidence interval, 1.1 to 5.2) more likely to result in nonfatal injury than FIAs involving other types of weapons or bodily force.

**Section 3: Discussion and Conclusion**

The findings of this study suggest that firearms are significantly more dangerous than other types of weapons during family and intimate assaults, as they are more likely to result in both death and nonfatal injury. This information can be useful for policymakers, law enforcement officials, and victims of domestic violence to better understand the risks associated with different types of weapons and to develop strategies to prevent and respond to these types of assaults.

In conclusion, weapons play a significant role in family and intimate assaults, and the type of weapon used can greatly impact the outcome of the assault. By understanding the risks associated with different types of weapons, we can work towards reducing the incidence of these violent acts and improving the safety of individuals and communities.

## Section 1: What is Radiology?
Radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging technology to diagnose and treat diseases. Radiologists use X-rays, ultrasounds, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other forms of radiation to create images of the body's internal structures. These images help doctors diagnose and treat illnesses, injuries, and other conditions.

## Section 2: How does Radiology work?
Radiology works by using radiation to create images of the body's internal structures. Radiation is a type of energy that can penetrate the body and create an image on a computer or film. Radiologists use different types of radiation depending on the part of the body they are imaging. For example, X-rays are used to image bones, while CT scans use a combination of X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of organs and tissues.

## Section 3: Why is Radiology important?
Radiology is important because it helps doctors diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries more accurately and efficiently. By using imaging technology, doctors can see inside the body and identify problems that might not be visible on the surface. This can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment, which can improve patient outcomes.

## Glossary:
- Radiology: A medical specialty that uses imaging technology to diagnose and treat diseases.
- Imaging technology: Equipment that uses radiation to create images of the body's internal structures.

Lesson: Social Norms and Group Behavior

Introduction:
Social norms are unwritten rules that govern our behavior in social situations. These norms vary from culture to culture and can influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of social norms and their impact on group behavior.

Section 1: What are Social Norms?
Topic 1: Definition of Social Norms
- Social norms are defined as the behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes that are considered acceptable or normal in a particular society or group.
- They are not written down or enforced by law, but they are learned through observation and imitation.

Topic 2: Types of Social Norms
- There are two types of social norms: folkways and mores.
- Folkways are norms that regulate daily behavior, such as table manners or greeting customs.
- Mores are norms that regulate more serious matters, such as sexual behavior or religious beliefs.

Topic 3: Importance of Social Norms
- Social norms help to maintain social order and cohesion.
- They provide guidelines for acceptable behavior and help us to navigate complex social situations.
- Violating social norms can lead to social sanctions, such as being ostracized or shamed.

Section 2: Impact of Social Norms on Group Behavior
Topic 1: Conformity
- Conformity refers to the tendency of individuals to change their behavior to fit in with the group.
- This can happen through imitation, persuasion, or coercion.
- Conformity can be influenced by factors such as group size, the presence of a leader, and the strength of the social norm.

Topic 2: Obedience
- Obedience refers to the tendency of individuals to follow the orders of authority figures, even if those orders are unjust or immoral.
- This phenomenon was famously demonstrated in the Stanford Prison Experiment, where participants were willing to inflict pain on others simply because they were told to do so by an authority figure.

Topic 3: Deindividuation
- Deindividuation refers to the loss of self-awareness and individual responsibility that can occur in group settings.
- This can lead to aggressive or antisocial behavior, as individuals no longer feel responsible for their actions.
- Deindividuation can be influenced by factors such as anonymity, group size, and the presence of a leader.

Section 3: Applying Social Norms to Daily Life
Topic 1: Understanding Social Norms
- To understand social norms, we must observe and interpret the behaviors of others in a given context.
- We must also consider the cultural and social factors that influence those behaviors.

Topic 2: Using Social Norms to Our Advantage
- By understanding social norms, we can navigate social situations more effectively.
- We can use social norms to our advantage by dressing appropriately for a particular occasion, using polite language, and showing respect for cultural differences.

Topic 3: Challenging Social Norms
- Sometimes, social norms may be unfair or unjust.
- In these cases, we may need to challenge those norms and work towards creating a more just and equitable society.

Conclusion:
Social norms play an important role in shaping our behavior and interactions with others. By understanding and applying social norms, we can navigate social situations more effectively and work towards creating a more just and equitable society.

Toelichting:
This work was composed in januari 1985 on request of my former teacher André Laporte to be originally first performed at the occasion of a EBU-concert in Madrid in december '85. That performance finally became the second, since the work received the 3rd Prize at the European Competition for Young Composers organized in Amsterdam and received its premiere on september 27, 1985 in the Cultural Center Hoogpoort in Groningen by the NOS Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by David PORCELIJN. The italian title means ".., and there there was...". It is because this composition was the first I wrote after a year of absolute (creative) silence. I used to compose in so-called post-serial style, exception made for one work ("Het Raadsel van de Sfinks" - "The Enigma of the Sphonx" - filmmusic for 6 Players) in which were elements of overtone-techniques, which are now a constance in my output. After this silence came ".., e poi c'era...". The work is in one single movement, divided into 5 sections, of which only the 4th is clearly different. The basic idea consists in a kind of noise -described by a Dutch critic as "an organ with leaky pipes"- based upon harmonics in the low string instriuments, their strings tuned even very 'loose', with percussion. This noise is very regularly "coloured" in the most diverse ways. It's actually not very much more than that, but elaborated until the smallest details. Everything is on the edge of the inaudible. After some 10 minutes comes a Tutti in fortissimo, followed by a huge crescendo. The last section is some sort of mirror of the start. The score end with a question mark : I supposed things would be clarified in "Komm! Hebe dich...", my Second Symphony. This Symphony is dedicated to my American friend and fellow-composer John Califra.

Lesson: Introduction to Redistricting

### Section 1: What is Redistricting?

Redistricting is the process of drawing electoral districts or boundaries in a democratic system. It is an important part of the democratic process as it determines the representation of different groups in the government. The aim of redistricting is to ensure that each vote counts equally and that the representation of different groups is fair.

### Section 2: Why is Redistricting Important?

Redistricting is important because it affects the representation of different groups in the government. If districts are not drawn fairly, certain groups may be underrepresented or overrepresented in the government. This can lead to unfair policies and decisions that do not represent the will of the people. Redistricting is also important because it helps to maintain the balance of power between different political parties and groups.

### Section 3: How is Redistricting Done?

Redistricting is done by a group of people called redistricters. They use data such as population size, geography, and demographics to draw the boundaries of electoral districts. The process can be complex and requires careful consideration of many factors. There are different ways to do redistricting, and different countries have different methods. Some countries use independent commissions, while others use political parties or a combination of both.

### Section 4: Comparative Perspective

Redistricting practices vary across different countries and regions. In this lesson, we will look at redistricting in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. We will compare and contrast the different methods used in each region and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.

### Section 5: Conclusion

Redistricting is an important part of the democratic process. It ensures that each vote counts equally and that the representation of different groups is fair. By understanding the different methods used in different countries, we can learn from their experiences and improve our own redistricting processes. Through this lesson, we have learned about the importance of redistricting, the different methods used, and the benefits and challenges of each approach. We can now apply these skills to new problems and make informed decisions about redistricting in our own communities.

text: Industrial designer Roy Harpaz has created a new vertical record player.. Named the ‘toc’, Harpaz’s new vertical design won’t be much use for DJing, but it does come with a load of other handy features and a very impressive design.. The turntable uses a digital sensor and linear tracking system that allows you to skip between tracks with a remote control or via LED touch buttons on the walnut-wood front panel.. The toc can play 12″s, 10″s and 7″s and also comes built with spherical bearings to play warped records without interference. The design is a nod to the short-lived ’80s craze for vertical players such as Sony’s cult PS-F5 Flamingo.. View some images below and check our selection of the most eccentric turntables ever created. [via The Vinyl Factory].

Lesson: Introduction to Vertical Record Players

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

A record player is a device used to play vinyl records. A vertical record player is a type of record player that stands vertically instead of horizontally. In this lesson, we will learn about the history, design, and features of vertical record players.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's imagine you are an industrial designer named Roy Harpaz who wants to create a new vertical record player. You want to make sure that your design is unique and functional. Here are some steps you could take:

1. Research other vertical record players on the market to see what features they offer and how they differ from traditional horizontal record players.
2. Consider the target audience for your vertical record player. Are they collectors who want a unique and stylish addition to their home? Or are they DJs who need a portable and durable record player for performances?
3. Sketch out some ideas for your vertical record player design. Think about how the record player will stand, what materials you will use, and what features you want to include.
4. Build a prototype of your vertical record player and test it out. Make sure that it plays records smoothly and quietly, and that it is easy to use.
5. Once you are satisfied with your prototype, refine your design and begin production.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

1. Why do you think vertical record players fell out of popularity in the '80s?
2. How do spherical bearings help when playing warped records?
3. What other types of record players have been created in the past that were unique or eccentric?

## Glossary
- Record player: A device used to play vinyl records.
- Vertical record player: A type of record player that stands vertically instead of horizontally.
- Turntable: The part of a record player that holds the record and spins it at the correct speed.
- Digital sensor: A device that uses electronic technology to measure or detect something.
- Linear tracking system: A method of reading data from a record by moving a stylus along the grooves in a straight line.
- Spherical bearings: A type of bearing that uses balls instead of rollers or raceways to reduce friction and allow for smooth movement.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the history, design, and features of vertical record players. We also explored the process of creating a new vertical record player, including researching competitors, considering the target audience, and testing prototypes. Finally, we engaged in self-debating discussions to deepen our understanding of the topic. By applying these concepts, we can continue to explore and innovate in the field of record players and other audio technologies.

Capitellar cartilage injuries concomitant with radial head fractures.
To evaluate the incidence and types of capitellar cartilage injuries associated with higher-grade radial head fractures. Fifty-one consecutive patients with operatively treated, unstable, displaced Mason type II to III radial head fractures were identified. Ten of 51 patients had capitellar cartilage injuries concomitant with these fractures. All cartilage injuries were identified at the time of surgery except in 1 patient whose injury was determined via computed tomography. There were 8 men and 2 women with an average age of 33 years (range, 24-39 years). Lesions were seen with direct inspection and recorded by location, size, and thickness. The incidence of capitellar chondral lesions concomitant with operatively treated Mason type II to III radial head fractures appeared in 10 of 51 patients. The average size was 5 x 5 mm (range, 2 x 2 mm to 10 x 10 mm). Four patients had Mason type II and 6 had Mason type III radial head fractures. The average surface of the cartilage injury was 6 x 7 mm (range, 3 x 6 mm to 10 x 10 mm) for Mason type II fractures and 4 x 4 mm (range, 2 x 2 mm to 5 x 10 mm) for Mason type III fractures. Two Mason type III fractures had full-thickness cartilage lesions, and 4 Mason type III fractures had partial-thickness cartilage lesions. Two Mason type II fractures had full-thickness cartilage lesions and the other 2 had partial-thickness cartilage lesions. Capitellar cartilage lesions frequently occurred concomitantly with higher-grade radial head fractures. The incidence of these lesions increased with greater severity of radial head fractures. Low-grade radial head fractures created higher-grade cartilage lesions as the intact radial head can cause more damage to the capitellum. Careful evaluation of the joint should be performed for these subtle injuries. Prognostic IV.

Lesson Title: Understanding Capitellar Cartilage Injuries Concomitant with Radial Head Fractures

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about capitellar cartilage injuries concomitant with radial head fractures. We will explore the incidence and types of these injuries, their causes, and their treatment options. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of these injuries to prevent long-term complications.

Section 1: What are Capitellar Cartilage Injuries?

Capitellar cartilage injuries are damage or tears to the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones in the elbow joint. These injuries can occur as a result of trauma, such as a fall or a sports injury, or as a result of overuse, such as repetitive motions that cause wear and tear on the joint.

Types of Capitellar Cartilage Injuries:
There are two main types of capitellar cartilage injuries - acute and chronic. Acute injuries are sudden and severe, often caused by a single traumatic event. Chronic injuries develop slowly over time, usually as a result of repeated stress on the joint.

Section 2: Capitellar Cartilage Injuries Concomitant with Radial Head Fractures

Radial head fractures are breaks in the bone that connects the upper arm to the forearm. In some cases, these fractures can cause damage to the capitellar cartilage, leading to pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the elbow joint.

Incidence and Types of Capitellar Cartilage Injuries Concomitant with Radial Head Fractures:
A study conducted on 51 patients with operatively treated, unstable, displaced Mason type II to III radial head fractures found that 10 of 51 patients had capitellar cartilage injuries concomitant with these fractures. The average size of the cartilage injury was 5 x 5 mm, and the average surface of the cartilage injury was 6 x 7 mm for Mason type II fractures and 4 x 4 mm for Mason type III fractures.

Causes of Capitellar Cartilage Injuries Concomitant with Radial Head Fractures:
The most common cause of capitellar cartilage injuries concomitant with radial head fractures is trauma, such as a fall or a sports injury. Other causes may include overuse or repetitive motions that cause wear and tear on the joint.

Section 3: Treatment Options for Capitellar Cartilage Injuries Concomitant with Radial Head Fractures

Treatment options for capitellar cartilage injuries concomitant with radial head fractures depend on the severity of the injury and the patient's overall health. Some possible treatment options include:

1. Rest and Physical Therapy: If the injury is mild, resting the affected joint and undergoing physical therapy may be enough to promote healing and improve range of motion.

2. Medication: Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, can help reduce inflammation and pain associated with the injury. In some cases, a doctor may prescribe stronger medications, such as corticosteroids, to reduce inflammation.

3. Surgery: In cases where the injury is severe or does not respond to conservative treatment, surgery may be necessary to repair the damaged cartilage and restore function to the joint.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, capitellar cartilage injuries concomitant with radial head fractures can be painful and limit the range of motion in the elbow joint. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent long-term complications. Treatment options include rest, physical therapy, medication, and, in some cases, surgery. By understanding the causes, types, and treatment options for these injuries, we can better manage and prevent them in the future.
