Birth: January 27, 1827, Galena, Il
Death: September 27, 1893, Olympia, WA
Spouse: Eliza B. Henry (Married Yam Hill, Oregon, May 14, 1857)
Born in Galena, Illinois, January 27, 1827, Francis Henry was the first white child born in Galena. His parents, William and Rachel (McQuigg) Henry, were natives of New York and Connecticut respectively. His father took an active part in the War of 1812, being a Lieutenant of Artillery, and was one of the first settlers of Galena in 1825, where he engaged in the mercentile business. In 1836, William Henry moved with his family to Mineral Point, Wisconsin, where he passed the remainder of his days.
Francis Henry secured his education in the old proverbial "log school house," walking several miles to improve the simple facilities then offered by the short winter terms. His early manhood was spent in (?) 1847. He received his appointment from General Cass as a Lieutenant of the U.S. Dragoons for the Mexican War serving at the City of Mexico under General Scott. Henry was one of General Scott's aides all through the war.
After his discharge he joined his family in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, and engaged in the study of law under Judge Dunn. In 1851 started for the gold fields of California via Panama; mined at Hangtown, California, (?) and Plaserville. In 1855 he crossed the mountains to Jacksonville, Or. where he found mining profitable for a time. The discovery of gold in Eastern Washington again setting him going, but the Indian War in 1855 saved him from further disappointment. He was a member of several legislatures and two constitutional conventions 1878-1889.
The following excerpt is from Pioneer Association of the State of Washington posted on the website as part of historylink.org.
Also at the 1886 meeting (Pioneer Association meeting at Yesler's Hall in Seattle in 1886), Francis Henry suggested that the new association gather material pertinent to the region's history. Henry, called Olympia's "town wit, cartoonist and writer of satirical verse" by historian Gordon Newell, authored a poem titled "The Old Settler," which was later used by restaurateur and Pioneer Association member Ivar Haglund. It included the famous line: "I laugh at the world and its shams, as I think of my happy condition, surrounded by Acres of Clams."

By Richard L. Jackson
As the leader of a company that serves over two million patients across America, I know firsthand about the challenges many patients face in America's healthcare system. Numerous patients have told me they are concerned about costs that are too high and access that is too limited. I share their concerns.
That's why I'm dismayed by our recent, landmark Jackson Healthcare/Gallup study and our own Jackson Healthcare survey of physicians that found 26-34% of healthcare spending is considered medically unnecessary.
Up to a third of our healthcare spending… wasted. It adds up to between $650- $850 billionevery year. Rather than returning those billions to patients and taxpayers, our broken healthcare system keeps on wasting valuable dollars on treatments patients don't need or want.
According to the studies, the main culprit of these runaway costs is America's culture of lawsuit abuse. Our lawsuit-driven healthcare system allows personal injury lawyers to dictate how doctors treat patients. That's completely backwards.
On behalf of the millions of patients my company serves, I say enough is enough. This cycle of waste needs to stop. We need real, comprehensive reforms that will end the lawsuit abuse lottery and remove the barriers that contaminate the physician-patient relationship.
Like so many other healthcare providers, I joined this profession because I believe in the importance of delivering quality care through the fundamental physician-patient relationship. Everything we do as healthcare providers should protect and enhance that relationship. At a minimum, as all doctors are called to do, we should "do no harm." No one should come between a physician and a patient.
Unfortunately, today's healthcare system puts personal injury lawyers squarely between physicians and patients. It forces too many physicians to treat people like potential plaintiffs, not real patients. Forever in fear of a frivolous lawsuit, doctors are forced to order extra tests and treatments. In addition to putting patients through more discomfort than they need, these lawsuit-driven decisions drive up the costs for all patients, and indeed taxpayers.
But it's not enough to talk about the problem. We need real, lasting solutions. Today, physicians are personally liable for their medical decisions, which may surprise you. Almost all of the other major countries prohibit this, but not America. Here, physicians are NOT legally protected through their business, employer or insurance. Their career, reputation and savings are at risk every day. Considering the prevalence of baseless lawsuits, it's no surprise that they order extra tests.
Traditional tort reform, such as damage caps, will not eliminate defensive medicine. In fact, independent reports show that in "traditional tort reform" states, physicians practice the same amount of lawsuit-driven medicine. While damage caps help more than they hurt, they simply are not a comprehensive solution to the skyrocketing costs that result from defensive medicine.
To finally root out the significant waste in our nation's healthcare system, we need a more aggressive approach. We should begin by incorporating successful reforms that have worked in other areas. For instance, workers' compensation reform has drastically lowered costs and improved the compensation system.
The solution to saving $650-$850 billion per year and ENDING lawsuit-driven medicine requires three steps that are proven to have worked, like in worker's compensation:
- Eliminate personal financial liability for physicians' unintended errors, so they can treat patients based on what's needed, not out of fear of a lawsuit.
- Create independent, expert medical review boards to review claims and determine if negligent treatment has been provided to the patient.
- Establish separate boards to award consistent, fair compensation to wrongfully injured patients.
Patient Benefits
- Patient Compensation Increases The awards would no longer be split between patients, insurers, and personal injury lawyers. Today, two thirds of the current malpractice expenses do not go to the injured patient. 2) Physicians will be more willing to admit mistakes which will produce more compensation for the patients, and 3) Some patients are awarded too little because their lawyers settle cases too quickly because they cannot afford the cost of a long litigation.
- Quality of Care Increases As physicians practice in a secure environment, they are able to share best practices and lessons learned without being attacked. We would free physicians to explore and adopt new treatments and technologies. Today, innovation must be weighed against the personal risks involved.
- Physician Accountability Increases Physicians who do not follow standards of care and are deemed incompetent by their peers will lose their ability to practice medicine. That is sufficient incentive to keep physicians focused on quality of care.
I believe this new approach would promote physician accountability and establish medical facts – not lawsuits – as the basis of our nation's approach to healthcare. This approach will end the lawsuit lottery and outlandish judgments that go beyond reason and drive up costs for everyone.
The country is incurring these excessive healthcare costs with no patient benefit. Why not create a radical change to the system that significantly reduces costs and provides increased amounts for patient compensation?"
Imagine how open and cooperative our physician/patient relationships could be if physicians were free to pursue the best practices in medicine, while the rights of patients were protected.
Just as important, these reforms would lower the healthcare costs we all pay. Imagine how $6.5-$8.5 trillion in savings over the next ten years could be used to cover the uninsured. We don't have to wait 10 years to "bend the cost curve." We can save $650-850 billion a year NOW!

What are you up to in your creative work at the moment?
I am currently developing my own play Leo Rising. The play is about three people, all facing tough situations that are pushing them into an understanding of themselves based on their belief systems, which are not actually true to who they really are.
Leeds Playhouse (Creative Education and Playhouse Youth) and Theatre Royal Wakefield are supporting myself and the Leo Rising team to engage with college, sixth forms and alternative education settings for English and drama related courses. The visits are free workshops focused on extracts of Leo Rising.
This support has given us the opportunity to have a number of conversations with young people about the play's truthful and representational elements. They feel these are reflected within the play and find the upcoming presence of these elements in the industry vital and this an urgent piece of work in theatre.
What are the highlights of your arts career to date?
All of my experiences help me learn and develop to become a stronger creative and performer. I have recently been successful in auditioning for the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain, which was a standout moment for me. I am looking forward to attending the Senior Acting Course in London this Summer – and after this, will become an official member.
What do you hope to be doing in five years time?
In five years time, I hope to be still developing my craft whilst successfully acting and performing in a professional capacity.
How did you use Arts Award to develop your creativity and skill set?
I am currently taking part in the Leeds Playhouse Young Leaders Programme. This is fully funded by the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation.
Through Young Leaders I am currently developing key artistic skills, everything from planning and delivering workshops and events to work experience with supporting BUZZ PROJECTS, which is designed especially for young people aged 14 - 25 with learning differences.
The group is a space for young people to work on their own projects but also learn new techniques and try new ways of expressing themselves through visual arts – and it is a pleasure to be a part of their spring and summer terms. The Young Leaders course will culminate in gaining the Gold Arts Award.
What advice would you give to young people doing Arts Award who want to follow in your footsteps?
Work hard, commitment is key and pay attention to the feedback you get. Take advantage of advice, training, support and courses available to you and use them to develop your strengths as well as any weaknesses.
It's important to find your own voice. Using this and being proud of it will only help you to realise the goals to which you aspire.
For more on Leo Rising, read our interview with Brandon by Voice contributor Lucy Dyson.

It's always easier to review a book once it's placed in the relevant genre. In the case of literature, a reviewer looks for fresh insight into human predicaments. In the case of a murder mystery, it's the narrative discipline that grips the attention of a reader as well as that of the reviewer.
Dr Subramanian Swamy's latest book, The Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi: Unanswered Questions and Unasked Queries, is a mystery novel in disguise. The working title for one of the finest mystery novels, The Name of the Rose, was The Abbey of the Crime. Umberto Eco rejected it on the grounds that "it concentrates the reader's attention entirely on the mystery story and might mislead purchasers looking for an action-packed yarn." The Name of the Rose was a philosophical inquiry that masqueraded as a mystery novel. In Swamy's case, it's the turn of a poorly structured mystery novel to masquerade as an investigative book that purports to unearth the hidden truths behind the murder of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi. His title focuses purely on his agenda: to deflect and refract the questions posed to him after May 21, 1991, the day the human bomb felled Rajiv Gandhi.
Despite using the real names of people, dead and alive, Swamy fails to convince the reader that his writing is factual. The book assumes that Swamy, and Swamy alone, is a good human being while the rest are crooks. He pours scorn and venom on journalists, politicians and former bureaucrats. Even the senior Shankaracharya of Kanchi math does not escape. But little of this is new: any journalist who has followed Swamy over the last decade will vouch that the book is nothing but a compilation of various statements made in innumerable press conferences.
Inquiries should be conducted with a certain humility; but no one could accuse Swamy of possessing that trait. He gleefully talks about himself on almost every page. On page 42: "...in finance, where I had formal education from the best place in the world: Harvard." Or on page 3: "Once when somebody asked him (Rajiv Gandhi) why he was giving me so much importance since I was a one-MP party, he retorted that in Parliament I was equal to one hundred MPs." It's not possible to be partisan while looking into a big issue like the assassination of a former prime minister. History cannot be distorted; the facts cannot be buried six feet under. But that is precisely what Swamy has done in this book.
The distortion begins from the first chapter, "The Unholy Interregnum" (1989-91), itself. "Morally," Swamy writes, "Rajiv Gandhi was not wrong in signing the Agreement. The Tamil representatives without exception (Swamy's emphasis) took the stand, after the talks had ended in failure, that they would agree to a compromise only if India became a party to an Accord, and guaranteed its implementation." The truth is that at no time did any Tamil group abrogate their right to be the signatories. Everyone who covered the Thimpu talks knew the Tamil stand: that India should be a guarantor and not the signatory. The flaw with the Indo-Sri Lankan accord signed by Rajiv Gandhi was that the Tamils were not a signatory; it was an accord between India and Sri Lanka in which Tamils had no say.
The crucial issue that Swamy fails to address are the questions posed to him by various people. In January 1991, Swamy played the key role in dismissing Karunanidhi's government on the grounds of the ltte infiltration in Tamil Nadu. During Karunanidhi's rule, Rajiv Gandhi made 13 visits to Tamil Nadu between 1989 and 1991 and came to no harm. When the state came under President's rule in January 1991, Swamy had become the de-facto chief minister. Every day he used to declare that he had wiped out the LTTE's presence in the state. It was in the fifth month of Swamy's rule that Rajiv Gandhi was killed in Tamil Nadu. Why is he not acknowledging this simple fact?
Swamy castigates Rogan Gunaratne for writing an anti-Indian book, Indian Intervention in Sri Lanka. Gunaratne alleges here that on behalf of two ltte Tamils, Swamy tried to promote the cause of Eelam with both the Israel and the US governments. Swamy writes: "This book of Shri Rogan Gunaratne which I again denied in cross-examination, reflects the typical stupidity of Sinhalese in regarding every Tamil as LTTE." But he does not hesitate to quote the same author, name spelled this time as Rohan Gunaratna, to prove a point that the ltte has prepared a blueprint to blow up India's nuclear reactors.
This duplicity does not end here. Swamy praises Justice Jain when it suits his theory and admonishes the Jain commission when it makes a few observations that go against his hypothesis. And where does the evidence for his grand theory emanate from? His own letters, his speeches in Parliament, his deposition before the Jain commission, media reports and published documents. This renders Swamy's every sentence suspect, and ensures that his book fails even as a murder mystery, providing no solutions.

Byzantine Desert Monasteries and the Anchor Church
With Yizhar Hirschfeld
This week's program comes from a 1993 interview that I did at the Israel Museum with Yizhar Hirschfeld, at that time the Field Director of Archaeology for the museum. Among the topics we discussed were the Byzantine monasteries of the Judean desert, the topic of his PhD studies, and the Anchor Church of Mt. Berenice in Tiberias. It too was an outgrowth of the Byzantine era, and was visited by pilgrims for many centuries until its destruction at the end of the Crusader period. Hirschfeld was beginning another major excavation in Tiberias in 2006 when I had some correspondence with him. He died suddenly on November 16, which just happens to be my birthday. He had a distinguished archaeological career that ended much too soon. May his memory be blessed.

Top Ten Biblical Archaeology Stories of 2018
With Gordon Govier
It may take years before we know what was the most important Biblical Archaeology discovery of 2018, but every year I try to identify 10 of the top stories of Biblical Archaeology that were reported on during the year just past, some involving discoveries from many years ago. For instance, our top item, a ring with Pilate's seal, was actually discovered in the 1960s but not identified until 2018. And the statue head of the ancient king, our #2 discovery, was found in 2017 but didn't create news until it was put on display in the Israel Museum in 2018.

The Museum of the Bible opened in Washington DC last November and is nearing the one million mark for visitors. There are a lot of Bibles on display, and there is also a lot of archaeology on display. The Israel Antiquities Authority and The Hebrew University Institute of Archaeology both have galleries. We talked with Susan Masten, Curator of Antiquities, about the museum's first year, what's on display, and strategic partnerships. That includes the museum's sponsorship of a new dig in Israel at Tel Shimron.

Jonah's Whale and Mosaic Discoveries
With Clyde Billington
Reviewing some of the recent news reported in the summer issue of ARTIFAX magazine, we take a look at some mosaic stories. Once again this summer, another mosaic image is released from the Huqoq synagogue excavation in the Galilee: a picture of the two Israelite spies returning from Canaan with a large cluster of grapes. We also mention the recent discovery of another beautiful mosaic on the property that is being excavated in preparation for the construction of a mosaic museum at Lod. And the excavation of St. Hilarion's Monastery in Gaza, the oldest monastery in the region, will include mosaic remains. We also discover archaeologists have found evidence that certain types of whales, which fit the story of Jonah, once actually were found in the Mediterranean, contrary to popular belief. The story comes from an excavation of Roman ruins at Gibralter.

2 Cor 3:4-11 / Ps 99: 5. 6. 7. 8. 9 / Mt 5:17-19
2 Corinthians 3:4-11
This is how we are sure of God, through Christ. As for us we would not dare consider that something comes from us: our ability comes from God. He has even enabled us to be ministers of a new covenant no longer depending on a written text but on the Spirit. The written text kills, but the Spirit gives life. The ministry of the Law carved on stones brought death; it was nevertheless surrounded by glory and we know that the Israelites could not fix their eyes on the face of Moses, such was his radiance, though fleeting. How much more glorious will the ministry of the Spirit be! If there is greatness in a ministry which uses to condemn, how much more will there be in the ministry that brings holiness? This is such a glorious thing that in comparison the former's glory is like nothing. That ministry was provisory and had only moments of glory; but ours endures with a lasting glory.
Matthew 5:17-19
Do not think that I have come to annul the Law and the Prophets. I have not come to annul them but to fulfill them. I tell you this: as long as heaven and earth last, not the smallest letter or dot in the Law will change until all is fulfilled. So then, whoever breaks the least important of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be the least in the kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, whoever obeys them, and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the kingdom of heaven.
In the Old Testament, Israel received the Law from Yahweh through Moses. In the New Testament, Jesus was sent by Yahweh to fulfill the Law in its entirety. By his death on the cross, he destroyed the curse of the Law which is death for the sinner. Now he offers to us the possibility of fulfilling the Law by believing in him and asking for the Holy Spirit. Therefore Jesus did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it.
But we must not think that belief in God's saving power is enough to be saved. The saving power of God enables us to behave as sons of God, to do what God wants – to obey the commandments. And to do so means to have eternal life in us. So we must not only have faith but also perform good deeds. When Jesus fulfilled the Law in his person, he raised it to a higher place through the spirit of the gospel. Therefore Christians do not see the commandments as a burden or a set of regulations but a way of life which brings about goodness and peace to one's life. The Christian understands that to love is the underlying spirit of Jesus' actions, and when he loves like Jesus, he discovers that it becomes easier to fulfill the Law. He is not afraid of the commandments but embraces them and makes Jesus his shining example of Christian love.

America and Rwanda have a special bond. We share a national holiday on July 4. While America was celebrating Independence from England, Rwanda celebrated the end of a genocide that ravaged the country a quarter century ago.
The 100-day killing spree that began on April 7, 1994, came to an official end when the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) drove the genocidal government out of power on July 15, 1994. But on July 4, the RPF retook the capital city, Kigali and effectively won the war.
The Rwandan genocidaires, unlike Cambodia or Germany, made no attempt to catalog their extermination of the Tutsis. We only have estimates. The UN estimates 800,000 dead. Two more-exacting estimates put the number over one million. But even this is a slight accounting.
Neither considers the 250,000 to 500,000 women who were unspeakably brutalized or the two million Rwandans who were displaced into refugee camps. In a country of 7.1 million people, that means 40 percent of all Rwandans and 70 percent of the Tutsis became casualties of war.
In this third and final commemorative column, I want to look at the cause and the cure of this unspeakable evil of recent history.
Histories that trace the rise of tensions between the Hutus and the Tutsis through the 20th century are myopic, at best. But those that trace the tensions to pre-historic times are no better. Both narratives assume a falsehood. They believe in the existence of two races.
To tell the story of how tensions arose between Tutsis and Hutus omits the most important part of the story. It fails to consider the genesis of the racial division in the first place. In fact, prior to the imposition of toxic Darwinist ideas, the Hutus and Tutsis were different cultures, but not different races.
For centuries, Rwanda had ranchers (Tutsis) and farmers (Hutus). Ranchers tended to marry other ranchers and farmers tended to marry other farmers. But these tendencies were not set in stone. The characteristics of facial structure and physique that marked two distinct ancestries had been largely effaced over centuries of coexistence.
This is what the colonists from Europe encountered when Rwanda and Burundi were assigned to Germany in 1885. But these colonists were carriers of something deadlier than smallpox. Their minds were infected with the new ideology of Darwinism. Reading the evolutionary tea leaves, they came to believe that the Tutsis were of Ethiopian descent and hence, racially superior to the Hutus.
Acting on this blind faith, the Germans discriminated against the majority Hutu tribes in favor of the Tutsi. Later, when the Belgians took Rwanda as a war-prize after the Treaty of Versailles, matters only got worse. The Tutsis were made the ruling class, while Hutus were disenfranchised.
Even these injustices might have been weathered and corrected over time. Then, the Belgian rulers made even that virtually impossible. In 1933, they introduced government identity cards that pigeonholed each Rwandan into one of four racial categories.
Intermarriage that had once integrated families, did so no longer. The indelible mark of a "Tutsi" or "Hutu" could not be erased by marriage. Likewise, changes in economic fortune that once gave opportunity for mobility from working class to ruling class did so no longer. The caste system created by European colonists was now irrevocable, forever documented on an ID card.
These are the ugly results of Darwinism and the identity ideology that it spawns. It is a reminder that the racism of National Socialism was not quarantined to Germany. It infected the minds and skewed the policies of all prewar Europe, and it was imposed on unsuspecting tribes that had lived in relative harmony for centuries.
War did not come immediately but resentment did. It grew like a cancer until it broke out in civil war in late 1959. Since then, Rwanda experienced three and a half decades of on-again off-again civil war.
Some foreign powers sided with the Hutus as victims of Tutsi oppression. Others supported the Tutsis as victims of Hutu aggression. The truth is that both were victims. They were attacked by a toxic Darwinism imported from Europe.
When the genocide began, the government ID cards became a death sentence for Tutsis and forced conscription into execution squads for Hutus.
The cure for this venom is not to exact reparations for sins of the past. It is to reject the racial ideology at the root of the injustices.
Even as this toxic stew was boiling over in the first days of the 1994 genocide, there were both Hutus and Tutsis who rejected the Darwinist division. Numerous Hutus died at the hands of fellow tribesmen when they refused to kill their Tutsi neighbors.
Tutsi heroism mostly took place after the genocide by those who sought to rebuild trust with Hutu countrymen. Other acts of heroism were done by expatriates who weathered the genocide, refusing every opportunity to flee the maelstrom.
Father Vjeko Curic was one of these. He was a 37-year-old priest from Yugoslavia who had been in Rwanda for 11 years prior to the genocide. On the third day of the slaughter, the same day that 110 Tutsis were slaughtered in the sanctuary of a church in Kigali, 1,000 heavily armed French troops came to escort foreign nationals out of the country.
Curic refused to go with the rest of the priests at his parish. He stayed and opened the parish to refugees that were streaming out of Kigali. He hired people to help him feed the crowds. He smuggled people past check points and into safety.
When genocide squads threatened to storm the parish, he met them at the gate, and talk turned them away. Once, at least, he fired a gun into the air that scattered a mob intent on killing his guests.
Then, the unthinkable happened. A killing squad broke into the primary school and slaughtered everyone hiding there. Even then he did not leave, but gathered the bodies for burial and transported the wounded to safety. For 100 days his parish held out.
Through it all he taught his flock not to join in the violence. And when it ended, Curic immediately began to reach out to Hutus to rebuild a community shattered by neighbor murdering neighbor. He raised money to rebuild homes and hospitals.
Tirelessly, he lived out his love for all Rwandans. Then, on Jan. 28, 1998, he was assassinated in Kigali. To this day, his murderers have not been identified. In death, he stands as an example of one who treated people according to their humanity and not according to their identity card. He is not the only one. I have briefly told his story as an example of many others who understood the truth.
Rwanda is still rebuilding relationships and trust. It is not always smooth, and armed conflicts continue to occur. But one thing the new regime understands: the artificial division between Tutsi and Hutu must be erased.
President Paul Kagame has worked to pass various laws designed to undo the ideology that led to genocide. Official Rwandan policy no longer identifies people by race or seeks reparations for past atrocities. They have made much progress, but there is still a long way to go.
Even as America shares a national holiday with Rwanda, we should also share this noble goal.

There are four major types of surface finishes that are designated for stainless steel. While many of these finishes are somewhat subjective, below is a guideline for the most common finishes:
#3 Coarse Finish — Usually a preliminary, coarse surface finish. Also referred to as rough grinding. Used for removing gates from cast parts, heavy burrs, weld splatter. Often accomplished with a disc or belt grinder but parts can be tumbled part-on-part with an abrasive grit to achieve a #3 finish.
#4 Brushed Finish — Defined as a directional or uniform surface finish. Removes surface defects in the surface but accepts fine polishing lines. A #4 Sanitary Finish is a slightly smoother, polished finish commonly designated in the food, dairy and medical industries. Tumble polishing can be used to accomplish a close approximation to a #4 Finish.
#6 Fine Finish — A polished, softer version of a #4 Finish. Often less reflective than a #4 Finish. No polishing lines or surface defects visible.
#8 Polished Finish — All surface defect are removed. Mirror-like finish depending on the quality of the metal. Highly buffed surface.

I attended the third annual Pink Tea this past Thursday, it was definitely a treat! Every year I learn something new, and this year I learned about all of the new technology that has recently come out regarding breast screening.
I also usually learn about just one or two things that all of us can add to our daily routine to decrease our chances of having breast cancer. This year, I learned that we should add daily servings of blueberries and spinach to our diet.
Additionally, there is also a speaker each year, and this year's speaker was definitely inspiring. She was a two time cancer survivor, and reminded all of us that we are stronger than we realize.
Of course, the mini sandwiches and treats were delicious as well!

In traditional gears the tooth from one gear must go in between two teeth in the second gear — in order to work the two gears must spin in opposite directions. In paradoxical gears the tooth of one gear must pass in front of the second gear without meeting any of the second gear's teeth or this mechanism will lock.
Paradoxical gears were apparently patented back in 1988 by a "Mr. Mercier," who worked for Renault. The purpose of the gears then was for a special differential using "torque transfer." Or in other words, equalizing the torque on all the wheels of a car in cases where one wheel might have low torque adherence — such as on ice — and the other wheels don't. The gears on the low torque wheels are essentially slipping and can't move the car.
Because paradoxical gears start with low efficiency gearing where there is little contact between the gears in the first place, they offer a simple solution to the differences encountered in torque presented by things like snow and ice.

In Zoom In, Israeli and Palestinian authors collectively explore the contrasting perspectives on memory and remembrance through an innovative approach. Palestinian and Israeli university students are presented with a catalogue of period photographs from 1948 and then asked to provide their personal impressions. These individual reactions are then analyzed by the scholars, providing a multi-perspective commentary and analysis that underscores the urgent need for building greater understanding for the common history of this region.
"This is a masterful 'eye-opener' to a human tragedy. The project described and commented on in this book reveals the utter confusion of identity that exists among Israel's youth between 'self-image' and 'self-knowledge', where bare nakba Palestinian pictures evoke different types of self-denials, including, significantly, the identification of some of those images as ones of Jewish suffering at the hands of the Nazis. Anyone wishing to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must learn the paradoxical lessons contained in this volume."
Sari Nusseibeh, Professor of Philosophy, President, al-Quds University
"It is a major achievement to have brought together these conflicting and conflicted voices within the pages of a single book. Photographs of Palestinian refugees in 1948 elicit responses on the part of a new generation of Israelis and Palestinians that testify to the difficulties of coming to terms imaginatively and morally with an historical injustice that is still ongoing. For all who need to know that memory both informs and blinds, and that without recognition of the sufferings of others there is no forgetting, this book is a must."
Professor Ann Rigney, Utrecht University
On Friday, July 8 th 2005, we, T'aayush activists in cooperation with The Campus Will Not Stay Silent, participated in a tour of the picturesque village of Battir, south west of Jerusalem.
The separation fence, projected to be built soon on the village lands, will demolish the terraces landscape, the springs, and the irrigation channels unique to this region and will bring about the destruction of the main source of earning for the village inhabitants who are eking out a living from a thousand-year-old traditional agriculture. To the tour were also invited members of environmental organizations and all those concerned with the preservation of the Judean mountain landscape; they were guided by villagers who outlined the harsh human consequences of constructing the barrier on their lands.
For many of the participants this was a first and thought-provoking encounter with peaceful Palestinians whose only wish is to be allowed to continue to cultivate their lands in honor, but who are about to lose their lands and childhood landscapes with the construction of the separation wall in the next weeks. The sorrow and anger and the feeling of helplessness of the village inhabitants left a strong impression on the tour participants and we hope that at least some of them will join us in our efforts to struggle against the construction of the fence in this village and its neighbors.
At the end of the tour a small group of Ta'ayush activists hung posters along the railway so that also the train passengers who enjoy the picturesque landscape of Battir may know that all this is going to be replaced by a concrete wall which will hide behind it aching inhabitants, frustrated and embittered that this should be their wages for long years of self-restraint and strict observation of good neighborly relations.

Casa Mirante: Brazilian firm FGMF designs a stylishly functional family home
The Brazilian firm FGMF Arquitetos – headed by Fernando Forte, Rodrigo Marcondes Ferraz, and Lourenço Gimenes – has revealed its latest residential offering, Cases Mirante. Hidden within a condominium complex in Aldeia da Serra, close to São Paulo, Casa Mirante is a vibrant, modern and highly functional family home, designed for a young couple with small children.
On approaching the property from the exterior, the house appears discreet and understated at first glance, but immediately on entrance, Mirante's bright and spacious interior unfolds. Greatly inspired by South American modernism, the architects opted to utilise a patinated steel for the majority of the home's structure, supporting it with the strategic placement of concrete slabs and stainless steel framed glass.
Take an interactive tour of Mirante House
The Mirante's interior program was devised in two parts. First was the ground floor and the home's entry point, and a slightly higher level which houses the property's kitchen, laundry area, bathroom, living rooms, pool area and its accompanying balcony. The second section is subterranean, inserted into the sloping landscape of the site and containing a home theatre, wine cellar, guest room and an office accompanied by a balcony.
After entering the main living space via one of the home's many runways, the large lounge greets guests. A series of small walkways connect the rest of the property and out onto the stunning infinity pool and balcony, which offers far-reaching vistas over the neighbouring lake and the surrounding picturesque landscape.
FGMF focused on implementing sustainable solutions throughout their design. Irrigation systems collect rainwater for reuse within the surrounding garden, the roof's solar heating panels provide the home with energy and steel was chosen for the outlying structure, due to its low environmental impact.

Ok, so this post has been hanging out in my draft queue for over a month. It's time to send it on, even if it is still unpolished.
Few things bother me more than seeing a flawed study interpretation disseminated widely (usually due to sloppiness, sometimes due to trying to "prove" a point).
An "editorial":http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2006/jun2006_awsi_01.htm?sourcecode=MCC02E&source=INFEML_MCC02E&key=website written for "??Life Extension??":http://www.lef.org, which was recently was brought to my attention, discusses the media reporting of several recent studies that seemed to be show that certain dietary supplements are worthless. However, the article points out that in many cases, the text of the publication doesn't match the headline. (The editorial also criticizes some features of these studies, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on whether glucosamine sulfate is the superior form of the supplement, for example.)
h3. Public spin on restricted-access data
A while back "Orac quoted an idea":http://oracknows.blogspot.com/2006/01/how-is-academic-medicine-perceived-by.html (third quote box) that I think would help alleviate this problem: to make public the manuscripts that are the subject of press releases. While Orac comments that he doesn't think it would help too much (but probably a little bit), I think that as more people blog as professionals, this step will help out a lot more. It also doesn't take an advanced degree to point out that statistically significant results on the efficacy of a dietary supplement does not make the supplement "worthless."
Of course, since I'm a statistician, I'd prefer to go all the way and see the data, at least on the subjects I'm interested in. Earlier, I "reverse-engineered":# a graph published by the Geier father-and-son team and as a result was able to scrutinize their results carefully. Fortunately, their sources of data are public, and I know other bloggers have looked at those same sources of data. I think this has helped the discussion.
However, other stories about Echinacaea and homeopathy are stashed behind subscription barriers. Sometimes, you can get a reprint of the paper for anywhere from $12 to $30. (One time, I actually shelled out the $30, but that was for an article that directly related to a paper I was writing at the time.) Depending on the journal, I can actually get a copy of these, and I suppose I could head down to the university during one of the two hour-and-a-half blocks of spare time that I have each year (to park in the parking deck a half mile away, walk over to the health sciences library, locate the article, photocopy, and walk back to my car).
Note that this isn't a call to open health journals for free, though there may be an argument for such. However, given the disparity between media reporting, press releases, and the actual content of a study, I think it would be a fair request to open up journal articles that are reported on in the popular press.
h3. Financing and conflicts of interest
I've heard both CAM advocates and CAM skeptics hurl accusations of conflict of interest. There seems to be an assumption, the "article I earlier referenced":http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2006/jun2006_awsi_01.htm?sourcecode=MCC02E&source=INFEML_MCC02E&key=website included, that studies financed by a particular entity (e.g. pharma company, dietary supplement company) influences the results. This is a well-known problem, and the professional journals and the NIH are taking measures to mitigate it. For example, the NIH requires a disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest. However, funding by a particular entity doesn't invalidate or confirm the results of a particular study.
As long as the conduct of a public health study is transparent, the study should be scrutinized and criticized on the basis of its merits and deficiencies. (Ironically, shortly after I started this entry Orac is making the same point.) This is one reason we spell out everything beforehand in a protocol and the various plans we produce for a study. This still leaves the problem of publication bias, in which negative results tend not to be published, but positive ones are. Medical journals have proposed one solution to this problem: a registry where if a company wishes to publish results, they must register all their studies with the journal. I think this is a pretty good idea, and furthermore that this registry be made public.
At any rate, before these (admittedly imperfect) solutions are in place, I tend not to listen to arguments where the sole point is conflict of interest. That may raise my suspicions, but not necessarily undermine my confidence in any given study.
"This article":http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12275329/ seemingly disagrees with my point. However, there are a lot of parameters from which to choose when designing a study, and I maintain that transparency in choosing these parameters will allow an objective evaluation of the study without having to rely on funding arguments.
h3. Editorializing
In some cases, an editorial accompanies the objective results of the study. This happened with an echinacaea study in June 2005 in NEJM and with the "End of Homeopathy" metaanalysis in ??The Lancet?? in August 2005. I personally can do without them, especially for ones that call for an end to debate or an end to study on a particular topic.

We get all types and sorts out with the social series… people who come cycling for all sorts of different reasons, and often those reasons change over time. But most of us remember what is was like to first come along and want to encourage others to get as much out of it as we have. Thus we get people like Christine, who a few weeks ago was riding 187 miles in a non-stop 12 hour tandem time trial, this weekend leading a 16 mile gentle ride. Judging by her reports of both days, she's been feeling the love recently!
Gentle ride to the Honey House cafe at Stainburn
Christine's ride report…
One of the things I love about the gentle rides is the new cycling friendships that develop over the course of the ride, with everyone supporting and encouraging each other up the hills. Today was a perfect example as we welcomed back Paula (after maybe 2 years away!!) and Graham (preparing for the 3 Swans Sportive and coming over from Wakefield for our special blend of cycling for the 6thtime!!) We had two newer riders Claire (who came on the ride last time) and Julia (on her first ever social ride) I was supported by Sheila as my fantastic back marker – giving praise and encouragement up those hills and Andrew, John and Fran all choosing a gentler, shorter ride for the day.
We took a very relaxed approach along Pool Road (exploring the pointless Fishing Ponds loop) and then up the hill to Almscliffe Crag for the compulsory photo stop in front of the crag. After this the climbing was easy up and then down to Braythorne where we went for a special coffee stop at the Honey House Café. We feasted on home made cakes and scones with huge mugs of tea and coffee. Over the mugs… plans were hatched for regular gentle rides to help build fitness for the future and numbers were swopped and Twitter tips shared. We avoided all the pot holes and gravel to Leathley and then an easy ascent up Farnley, only stopping once. Back to the Fleece for 12.15 for a relaxed drink in the garden with our new friends!
Thanks to the Honey House Café for your welcoming hospitality.
Stretching to Betty's
Ken's ride report…
Started out in the morning with the intention of going to the prologue cafe in Harrogate, as the pine Martin were to busy. (Although Mark charmed his way in with his group ). A bit chilly to start, but it wasn't long before the stripping started as we climbed up to Farnley. We had a new rider to the strenuous today, and a rider who hadn't been out for awhile, so it was good for me to meet a some new faces. After a few tough climbs we changed tack and decided to go to Betty's for tea, scones and fat rascals and a pleasant 1/2 hour chatting. On the way back the rain that threatened never came and the sun came out, which meant a pleasant end to the ride in the beer garden at the fleece. Many thanks to Michael for doing a great job back marking.
Stretching ride to the Pine Marten (Harrogate)
Mark's ride report…
With it being a bank holiday and a wet and murky start to the day, numbers were down on our previous Social Sunday. However, we still had enough riders to warrant two Stretching rides to Harrogate. Mark led our group of eight, Jill back marked and the rest of the group comprised of Dave, Trish, Chip, Robert, Serena and Phil.
Heading up Farnley Lane, Trish had an unfortunate puncture after only a mile, but we were quickly on our way again after Chip stepped in to fix it. We continued to Leathley and then on the back roads towards Beckwithshaw, staying in single file for the very busy stretch of road into the village.
Our plan (which had been agreed back at the health centre in Otley) had been to visit Prologue Cafe on Cold Bath Road in Harrogate – and to meet up with the other Stretching group, led by Ken. It turned out that the other group had decided to shorten their route slightly and to visit Betty's instead. This wasn't a popular option for our group, so we opted to visit The Pine Marten which was just a little further up the road. Sinking into the unfeasibly comfy leather furniture, we enjoyed teas, coffees and sandwiches and found it very hard to leave – especially with the increasingly grey skies looming on the horizon.
Miraculously, we managed to miss the rain and returned to Otley via North Rigton, Leathley and Pool. Given the gloomy start to the day, never did we imagine that we'd be sat enjoying a post-ride drink and catch-up in the Fleece beer garden.

A Federal Court in Ottawa on Monday dismissed the latest legal effort by two dual Canadian/U.S. citizens to block Canada's implementation of the U.S.'s Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, dealing a blow to thousands of Americans with dual citizenship and consequent tax obligations not just in Canada but, supporters of the plaintiffs argue, around the world.
Monday's ruling, by Federal Court of Canada Justice Anne Mactavish, was the latest in a series of court setbacks for opponents of FATCA since the tax-information-gathering law came into force around the world in 2014, and comes some six months after a five-day trial in the matter, which took place in Vancouver in late January and early February.
The ruling also comes just three days after a French court decided in favor of allowing France's FATCA implementation regime to stand. As reported, that decision sparked a social media storm on the part of Americans with dual nationality in France as well as abroad.

SANTHE Programme Director elected to ASSAf
Thumbi Ndung'u, SANTHE Programme Director, Director of the HIV Pathogenesis Programme (HPP) and Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) Investigator, has been elected as a member of the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf).
ASSAf was inaugurated in May 1996 by its patron, Nelson Mandela. It was formed in response to the need for an academy of science congruent with the dawn of democracy in South Africa. Its mandate encompasses all fields of scientific enquiry and it includes the full diversity of South Africa's distinguished scientists. The Parliament of South Africa passed the ASSAf Act (Act 67 of 2001), as amended, which came into operation in May 2002. As such, ASSAf represents the country in the international community of science academies.
Membership of the academy comprises the country's most outstanding scholars. New associates are elected every year by the full existing membership in order to achieve ASSAf's goals. The criterion for election is significant achievement in the advancement or application of science, and the expectation that the new member will assist the Academy in achieving its objectives. ASSAf claims that this is where its strength resides, "In the quality and diversity of our membership; internationally renowned scholars elected by peers, who give of their time voluntarily in the service of society." The Members are regarded as the "brains trust" of the nation and ASSAf uses them as a collective resource for evidence-based solutions to problems.
Ndung'u says "It is a great honour and privilege to be elected a member of the academy. I am grateful to my family, many mentors, colleagues and students who have made my work and career in HIV/AIDS and TB research an exhilarating journey. We are winning the battle against the two major infectious killers our time- and collectively we can make this continent and the world much better places to live in for future generations."

Thanks to Honor Nation and the stars of Ring of Honor and Women of Honor, the holidays will be more special for Samarra "Sammy" Pirrong -- a 9-year-old who is battling cancer -- and her family.
In a fundraiser organized by Sumie Sakai with help from Cheeseburger during Final Battle weekend Dec. 15-16 at the shows in New York City and Philadelphia, nearly $900 was raised to assist Sammy's family with medical and other expenses.
"#SammyStrong" wristbands were available for $5 at the ROH Pro Shop at the shows, and anyone who purchased one or made a donation got their photo taken with Sakai and Cheeseburger.
"I really appreciate everyone who donated to support Sammy," Sakai said. "Everyone's support is making her stronger. Please keep praying for her and her family."
Added Cheeseburger: "It made me so happy to see how many fans came out in support. Not just the fans but wrestlers as well were more than happy to support the cause. I loved seeing so many people wearing the #SammyStrong wristbands throughout the nights."
In July, Sammy was diagnosed with stage IV Wilms Tumor, a type of cancer that starts in the kidneys. Over the past several months, Sammy has undergone multiple surgeries in which her tumors and right kidney were removed and a feeding tube was inserted. She's also endured chemotherapy and radiations treatments and had about 30 blood transfusions.
This past Monday, Sakai and Cheeseburger visited Sammy and her family at their home outside of Philadelphia. They presented Sammy with a turnbuckle from Final Battle signed by the entire roster and some new ROH merchandise.
"She was not feeling good from chemotherapy but she was very excited to see us," Sakai said. "She made us laugh. She said to Cheeseburger, 'If you ate a cheeseburger, technically that would be cannibalism. … Sammy loved the Best Friends t-shirt. She wore it all day."
Sammy's gift to Cheeseburger was a drawing she did depicting him (looking like an actual cheeseburger) as ROH World Champion.
"I plan on hanging it in my room," Cheeseburger said of the drawing. "I met her brother and sister as well. Her younger brother was so surprised to see me come to his home. He shared his wrestling toy collection and wanted to wrestle around. He loves New Japan and attempted to attack me with several Rainmakers throughout the evening.

Three girls died during a Christmas day attack on a small church in eastern Pakistan.
Witnesses said two assailants dressed in burqas—all-encompassing garments worn by women in some Muslim countries—threw a bomb into the middle of worshippers at a Christmas Day service, wire services reported. The attack injured 13 of the 40 Pakistanis inside the church in Chianwala, northwest of Lahore.
By the following day, police had detained an Islamic cleric who days earlier had allegedly urged supporters to kill Christians. They were questioning three other people as well. On that same day, about 2,500 people gathered for a memorial service for the victims—ages 6, 10, and 15.
Newly elected Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali called the attack "dastardly."
A police officer scheduled to guard the congregation failed to arrive for work, according to his superiors. Police officials said they were questioning him, but it was not immediately clear if he was negligent or involved with the attack.
Nazir Bhatti, president of the Pakistan Christian Congress, condemned the killings. He criticized the Pakistani government for not adopting necessary security measures for Pakistan's Christians and urged arrests of those responsible for the attack to prevent further violence against Christian worshippers.

These long, hot, lazy days of summer are in full swing – we hope you're enjoying this extra-heavy dose of Vitamin D!
One of summer's most delicious qualities is the abundance of freshly grown fruits and vegetables. You'll find plenty of these treats at the Thursday Night Market Place in downtown Hanford, which has become a weekly destination for folks in search of farmers market goodies, informational booths, entertainment and more.
Quench your thirst with a pint at BarrelHouse Brewing Co., which is in the midst of opening its third location, this one in Visalia. The owners hope their taphouse will help turn an underused area of Main Street into something vibrant.
We've got more than our share of local-folks-made-good in the South Valley, and Raiders quarterback Derek Carr tops that list. He spent some time with us to share a bit about the three driving forces in his life – football, family
and faith.
Then meet Eddie Renteria, an athlete whose life path was diverted by an illness – so he reinvented himself as a fitness instructor who is coaching people toward healthier, stronger, more confident lives.
We'll also tell you the story of a boy named Jake, a dog named Sam and their friendship that led to the creation of The Barker's Dozen, a shop that caters to four-legged family members.
Meanwhile, learn more about the Visalia Unified School District's Linked Learning Academies, where motivation for educational excellence is fueled by exploration and application to a career. Students are getting an edge in pursuit of their goals while collecting real-life work experience.
And just in time for the school bell to ring once more, we'll introduce you to 9-year-old Zackeria Lovick of Fresno, who is bringing school supplies to children in need through his own school supply drive. This year, he plans to donate a backpack full of supplies to each student at Williams Elementary School, and you can help him out.
Enjoy the last stretch of summer!

PETALING JAYA: A wild accusation to tarnish the image of Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) and its local councillor.
That was how Kampung Tunku state assemblyman Lau Weng San described the recent report claiming the Selangor MCA Public Complaints Bureau was forced to set up their welfare booths along the walkway of Seri Setia Community Hall in Jalan SS9A/1, Sungei Way.
"This is not the first time the local councillor has received such complaints from the Selangor MCA Public Complaint Bureau and it's chief Datuk Theng Book. This is nothing but a cheap publicity stunt to tamper with the local councillor's image. I want Theng and Kampung Tunku's coordinator, Kelvin Chong Seng Foo, to come forward and show us the proof if it was true," said Lau who holds the portfolio of Organizing Secretary for Selangor DAP.
Lau demanded both individuals present evidence that MBPJ had rejected their applications to use the community hall.
"The hall is open for booking to anyone as long as they submit their application through the proper channels via email, in writing, or even in person to the respective local MBPJ authorities at Jalan Tengah or its headquarters at Jalan Yong Shook Ling," he told reporters during a site visit at the hall recently.
MBPJ public relations officer, Zainun Zakaria, who was also present, confirmed the city council did not receive any applications for the use of the hall as claimed. The news report had quoted Theng as saying two applications had been submitted on Oct 1 and Nov 10 respectively.
Meanwhile, Kampung Baru Seri Setia's local village and security committee (JKKK) president, Ding Eow Chai, said the matter was brought to their attention after some 340 applicants were forced to line up under the scorching sun to hand in their welfare applications at the booths.
"Out of our good hearts, we opened the doors of the community hall for these applicants to seek shelter and use the toilet facilities," said Ding.

All new parents want is for their babies to be happy and healthy - and a decent night's sleep.
However if your little one is constantly waking you up with their cries throughout the night it could actually be a good sign.
According to scientists anyway.
According to research those dark circles under your eyes might actually be worth something.
That's because babies who don't sleep all night long are potentially smarter than those who love snoozing.
Professor Peter Fleming, from the University of Bristol, works on infant health and developmental psychology at the university, made this claim to Buzzfeed.
He suggested that not sleeping through the night and high levels of intellectual achievement might in fact be correlated.
"Human infants are not designed to sleep for long periods," he explained. "It's not good for them and there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that there is ny benefit to anybody from having a child that sleeps longer and consistently.
"That's not perhaps what most parents would like to hear."
He added that typically babies sleep during the day and 6pm to midnight is the time "they're going to want to be awake the most".
But, as much as you might not like it, there is actually a very good reason why young children like to be awake during these specific hours of the night.
He continued: "Biologically that's a big advantage because they will have more attention from their two primary caregivers at that time of day than at any other, because there are fewer distractions.
"From a biological point of view what the baby is doing is completely normal and sensible. It just doesn't fit in with our 21st-century expectations."

Are You Really Fit for Your Desired Job?
How often do you think about how fit you are for the job you're applying for? Job searchers usually tend to act desperately and drop their CVs even for the positions they're either less qualified or a complete mismatch. Almost all of us act in the same way and go out of our way in our efforts to acquire a well-paying job. But often our desperation turns into disappointment. Why is it so?What actually happens is that we often apply for a job we're neither qualified nor trained for. In other cases, our qualifications do not fully match with those required by the job. What we need is the realization that if we do not have what the job we're applying for requires, we could just end up wasting time filling out application forms. The results are worse and being constantly turned down demoralizes us and we lose hope after a few attempts.The first thing is to keep your qualification and interest in front of you and make sure that both complement each other. For instance, if you have a medical degree and are for a well-paying construction job, there's no chance that you'll get the job. And even if you accidently do get it, the chances of your survival in the job are very slim and you'll soon see yourself failing to perform. On the other hand, if you have an engineering qualification, a construction job can be a perfect match for you. Needless to say, some jobs require more qualifications than others. For example, a sales job may need a certain level of experience, whereas becoming a doctor will obviously require several years of training to become successful. So, you need to think carefully about what area of work you want to go into before you start applying for any type of job at all. Another common scenario is the job searcher has a very specific idea of what he likes to do, but is not sure which job would suit him best. For instance, you're interested in making your career in writing, and you're also very good at it, but you have no idea of how to live off writing. In this case, a career adviser can be of great help for you and can counsel you on how to transform your interest into your career. In today's time when the world has shrunk into a global village, finding a job abroad has become a matter of clicks. Professionals are switching to better career opportunities in different parts of the world. One of the best global locations for job search is Dubai for professionals from all fields. Jobs in Dubai are plentiful and some of the hottest jobs include management jobs, hotel jobs, construction and engineering jobs, teaching jobs and real estate jobs in Dubai. Jobs in real estate sector in Dubai are especially abundant owing to the sector's rapid growth.
