Putting Econometrics in its Place, Edward Elgar Publishing, 2006. Link to page on Elgar website
In empirical work, the economics profession seems preoccupied with econometrics above all else. Some econometrcians seem to care more about demonstrating their econometric sophistication than making advances in economic understanding. This is an unsatisfactory state of affairs. The book argued that econometrics is not, and can never be, a 'universal solvent' for all problems in applied economics. The reason for that is the pervasive signal-to-noise-ratio problem in econometrics, which is discussed in more detail here. The book stresses that researchers with a genuine interest in applied economics must use a very wide range of research approaches in their applied work. In addition to econometrics, this will include (inter alia): engineering economics, simulation, economic history, the history of economic thought, case studies, interviews, questionnaire surveys, intuition, metaphor, and, finally, innovative economics - an essential miscellany of research teachniques. I am clear that we can learn far more by combining these other approaches with some simple econometric analysis, than from econometrics alone - however sophisticated that econometrics may be.

"The child manifests the same reactions of defiance and obedience. The child, too, can hide his stubbornness behind an excessive docility"
Sadism and Masochism : The Psychology of Hatred and Cruelty, Vol. 1 (1939), p. 46
Contexto: An intense, unyielding stubbornness hides beneath an apparent obedience (the patient brings a vast number of dreams; his associations become endless; he produces an inexhaustible number of recollections, which seem to him very important but are actually of little moment; or he goes off upon some byroad suggested by the analyst and leads the latter into a blind alley).
The child manifests the same reactions of defiance and obedience. The child, too, can hide his stubbornness behind an excessive docility (the parent's command: You must be industrious. Industry may become a mania so that the child neither goes out nor has time to sleep). Obedience is the giving up of the resistance; obstinacy the setting up of fresh resistances. This resistance is externally active. We have in recent years had sufficient opportunity to observe the law of resistance (the passive resistance). Activity and defiance show great differences. Defiance is the reaction against activity (aggression) of the environment. It may then manifest itself actively or passively and stands in the service of the defensive tendency of the ego. Every resistance reveals the ego (one's own) in conflict with another.

What's really scary about '30 Days of Night' is the boredom
In every vampire movie, the big question revolves around what rules the vampires live by. Are they aristocratic or animalistic? Are they religious or agnostic?
In this case, the vampires may as well be blood-sucking werewolves.
Josh Hartnett ("Pearl Harbor") is the sheriff in Barrow, Alaska, which all but shuts down during the month in winter when the sun refuses to shine. Thirty days of night? Sounds like the perfect location for a vampire invasion!
Danny Huston is the lead vampire and he attempts to give a sense of dignity to his vampire race, but his followers don't care about anything but killing. And with 30 full days to hunt down their prey, they do a lot of killing.
Latest Entertainment Videos
We are supposed to identify with the townsfolk trapped in a remote location, but we know they are just stock characters who are there to be killed off one by one.
Horror films live or die by the quality of their villains, and in this case the vampires don't seem fully fleshed out. They say they've been around for centuries, but it's hard to believe they've gone undetected for that long with their penchant for massive killing sprees. Their only weaknesses appear to be sunlight and decapitation.
In some movies, vampires exploit the fear of tainted blood and infection. In others, it's the fear of foreigners stealing women. This movie starts with a pit of burned (Nokia?) cell phones, while the vampires themselves look northern European, so I guess it may be exploiting our fear of ... Norwegians?
With such a good concept for a vampire movie, it's hard to believe it turned out to be this boring. I've been told the comic book it's based on has an even thinner plot, but that's no excuse.

We Conquered 2016, More Confidently!
For the month of December we focused on 30 Days of Confidence!
Confidence is the first ingredient to embracing your CAKE and sets the tone for the other ingredients; Attitude, Kindness and Excellence.
Confidence is the foundation for everything in life and it is our confidence, or lack of that directly impacts every aspect of our lives. For me, the biggest confidence booster was understanding and believing that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made"! You see, once I was able to understand and accept me; flaws and all. I was able to move forward much more confidently, turn my passion into purpose and create milestones in my life by accomplishing one small goal at a time. It takes confidence to set a goal, it takes even more confidence to achieve the goal and confidence topped with a little audacity to set and achieve unimaginable goals..
What I absolutely loveee! about confidence is losing it, doesn't have to be permanent. You can bounce back from a confidence setback. You can restore it when it is lost, add to it when it gets a little low, and when its high continue to improve upon and elevate.
There is no glass ceiling, no lid, no limit, and no maximum occupancy. You are in total control of how well you manage you!
Appreciating who we are allows us to make better choices and better decisions.
Better choices and better decisions, lead to a more rewarding, fulfilling happier and healthier lifestyle.
It's time to Embrace Your CAKE and Embrace Your Confidence!.

10 Common Biotech Partnering Myths, Exposed15 January, 2015
Biotech companies know that it's essential to align with strategic partners to advance their drug candidates to market. But for the small biotech company the partnering process can sometimes be daunting. To help make the process easier, we've put together a list of the ten most common partnering myths. Avoid the mistakes based on these myths, and you'll be well on your way to those hot licensing deals.
Myth #1: Later is Always Better
It would be logical to assume that the farther your drug is along the development path the more value you will get in a deal. But for the last five years both upfront payments and total deal values have been larger for deals done during Phase II than for deals done during Phase III.
Investors and partners typically do not determine value based on the stage of development as much as the answers to key efficacy questions, such as:
- Does it work in animal models?
- Is it safe?
- Does it work in humans?
- Is it differentiated from the competition?
So partnering is not out of the question even in the earlier stages of drug development.
Myth #2: You Can't Partner at Pre-Clinical
Okay, we just said that deals done during Phase II typically see the largest numbers, but that doesn't mean partnering earlier isn't feasible. Many deals these days are done early. In fact, roughly fifty to sixty percent of deals done in recent years were done at pre-clinical or discovery stages.
Recently RQx Pharmaceuticals entered into a partnership with Genentech for the discovery and development of novel drug compounds for an undisclosed target. In that deal, RQx received an up-front payment and was eligible to receive research and development milestone payments totaling $111 million. In addition, RQx was eligible to receive royalties on sales of products resulting from the collaboration. At the time, the company was only two years old.
Myth #3: Novelty is Crucial
Novelty is great, but it comes with challenges. If your drug is truly novel, communicating your story becomes more difficult. A partner needs to understand a lot of the biology before they invest in the development of your drug. If your drug is truly novel, it becomes necessary to create your narrative from scratch rather than refer to existing literature or competitor's data. A partner will want to know:
- The connection of the target to the disease
- The specificity of the drug for the target
- The drug's effect on disease models
- That the target is responsible for the drug efficacy
- The solubility, stability and pk of the drug
- The drug's safety
- That there is a clear path to market
- Which patients you will be treating
- How you will select those patients.
Again, novelty can certainly be an advantage, but it comes with greater challenges in constructing your narrative. How you will deliver value to the healthcare system and the payers needs to be clearly communicated.
Myth #4: Good Science Speaks for Itself
Yes, strong science can speak for itself, but often being able to appreciate the implications of that science is difficult. As a young company, you need to clearly tell your story in a way that is compelling and resonates with potential partners. This story must be powerfully conveyed from the very first point of contact.
The first thing to communicate is "Why this drug?" What's special about your opportunity? What unmet medical need will it address? If the uniqueness of your opportunity is not clearly conveyed right from the very beginning, a partner might not dig any deeper, and might never appreciate the value you're bringing to the table.
Remember, your partner is trying to learn in weeks everything that it took you years to create. They might not always get it right, so it may be necessary to guide them through the learning curve.
Myth #5: Rejection is Always Bad
It hurts to be rejected. You've worked hard on your asset, and it's disappointing to be told that someone isn't interested in it. But the truth is, you need to evaluate the fit of a partner just as a partner needs to evaluate the fit of your opportunity. Due diligence is a very resource intensive process for parties on both sides of the deal. Don't make the mistake of going down that path when the fit isn't there. Sometimes it's better to hear a "No" before getting to diligence than hearing it after diligence has been performed.
Myth #6: Get to Talking Dollars Fast
Negotiations begin the moment you start talking. And, although moving quickly is almost always advantageous, it's a mistake to start talking dollars before you know the scope of the deal and how the partnership will be structured. Due diligence is the process that leads to a partner's understanding of the value proposition. If terms are exchanged before diligence, the due diligence process will inevitably reveal issues, which can result in a reduction of terms. Generally, it's best to let the due diligence process play out before talking financials.
Myth #7: Ask For Everything
Sometimes small companies, knowing there will be compromises, will start by asking for the moon. This can be a good way to lose credibility and cause the other side to walk away before they've even had the opportunity to understand your asset. Be sensible. Yes, ask for more than you expect to get, but don't go crazy.
Define your needs and wants for the deal, and write them down. If you know what you want, and prioritize, you have a better chance of clearly communicating your expectations to a partner and getting the things that are most important to you.
Myth #8: If We Lower the Price We Can Get a Deal
There is some point where no matter how cheap an opportunity becomes, it's still not perceived as attractive due to too much uncertainty or risk. The industry is remarkably price insensitive for opportunities it wants, and generally a lower price won't drive deals. A smaller partner may be more price sensitive, but big companies are driven more by data and the expense they'll incur for development than they are by the price of the deal.
Myth #9: We Already Know the Best Partner
Having a pre-conceived notion of the perfect partner for your opportunity can be a mistake. Think broadly and you could be surprised. An attractive partner could be one that you never would have considered as a possibility. Corporate strategies change and companies can get excited by a therapeutic area they're not currently in.
So, don't limit your options, especially at the beginning. This is what the exploration and discussion phase is all about—it's about casting a broad net to see if there's a partner out there who turns out to be the perfect match.
Myth #10: If We Could Just Talk to the CEO
Talking to the CEO might be effective if you have a relationship with that person. Otherwise, you risk being perceived as a nuisance and getting funneled off to the Business Development person who would have handled it in the first place.
If you have a real connection, by all means take advantage of it, but don't pester people you don't know and remember that there is a process. Even if the CEO says, "This looks interesting," it's still going to go through the process.

EDM Monday Briefing: Bahamas Recovery Struggling as New Hurricane Season Looms
Emergency and disaster management briefing for February 10, 2020: Abaco Islands in the Bahamas is still facing an uphill recovery battle after it was devastated by Hurricane Dorian five months ago; an American has died of the coronavirus in Wuhan, China; the Governor of Oregon declared an emergency in three counties as floodwaters devastated homes and prompted an airlift rescue of 21 people; a tragic house fire in Mississippi killed a mother and six children; a small plane crash in a remote area of North Georgia amid heavy snowfall killed four adults; Storm Ciara battered the UK and Northern Europe with high winds, heavy rains that halted flights and trains; a mass shooting at a mall in Thailand left 29 dead; and two major fires in Australia were extinguished with heavy rainfalls that caused flooding and flash floods that prompted hundreds of rescue calls.
Start an Emergency & Disaster Management degree at American Military University.
1) It has been five months since Hurricane Dorian slammed into the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas and decimated homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure. Recovery has been extremely slow because most people either evacuated or were displaced -- their homes and businesses devastated -- and are unable to return due to the lack of housing. Abaco is not likely to see power fully restored until early summer, and with another hurricane season rapidly approaching, there remains a very high need for thousands of volunteers to assist with rebuilding efforts.

2) An American in the Hubei Province, in the city of Wuhan, China, has died of the coronavirus. The novel coronavirus has spread to 27 countries, and the number of cases in China have topped 40,000. The death toll stood at 908 people as of Sunday, but a team of health experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) says the spread of the coronavirus outside China may just be the tip of the iceberg.

3) The Governor of Oregon has declared an emergency for at least three counties, including Umatilla, Onion, and Wallowa, after floodwaters inundated parts of Oregon and Washington. In January, rain fell in Oregon 28 out of 31 days, and snowmelt compounded the flooding. The Oregon National Guard airlifted 21 people out of flooded conditions on Saturday, nearly 10 miles of I-84 was still closed, and millions of dollars of damage were incurred across the flooded regions.

4) A house fire that broke out just after midnight Saturday in Mississippi, killed a mother and all six of her children. The father, who survived the blaze, was taken to a local hospital for smoke inhalation, cuts, bruises, and second-degree burns. He is listed in critical condition. According to fire officials, burglar bars were evident on some windows, which may have prevented the family from escaping. However, there was no evidence of foul play, and the fire is now under investigation.

5) A small plane crash during heavy snowfall in a remote area of north Georgia killed four people on Saturday. The jet, a Cessna Citation, departed from the Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field at around 10:00 a.m. It was bound for Nashville, Tennessee, when radar lost contact with the plane when it was about 50 miles north of Atlanta. The plane was found inverted in a creek on Saturday. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) -- who is investigating the crash -- will work to determine what role, if any, weather may have played in the crash of the small jet.

6) Hurricane-force winds and heavy rains battered the United Kingdom and Northern Europe on Sunday. The storm, named Ciara by the UK Met Office, forced flights and trains to halt, while high seas closed down ports. The high winds -- with gusts at nearly 100 mph -- and heavy rains also downed trees, damaged electrical wires and roofs, and littered train tracks with various types of debris, including a trampoline.
Strong winds brought to the UK by #StormCiara forced a plane to abort its landing seconds after touching down at Heathrow Airport.

7) A mass shooting at a mall in Thailand on Saturday killed at least 29 people. The shooter, Sgt. Maj. Jakrapanath Thomma -- who was a Thai soldier -- opened fire at a military camp, killing his commanding officer and the officer's mother-in-law. He then wounded at least three other soldiers before he opened fire in the mall. A 13-hour standoff with Thai special forces ended when they shot and killed the alleged shooter.

8) Heavy rain, damaging winds, and abnormally high tides were forecast in New South Wales and Queensland as severe weather impacted wildfire-ravaged Australia. Heavy rainfall resulted in flooding and flash flooding, which prompted hundreds of calls for assistance, but NSW police struggled to respond to all the calls on Sunday. The heavy rainfall helped extinguish two large fires that had been raging for months, including the Currowan Fire. This fire destroyed 312 homes and blackened 1.2 million acres.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-- A judge says Indianapolis City-County Councilman Jeff Miller cannot violate a no-contact order in his child molestation case again or he may end up in jail.
Miller was arrested last month after two girls claimed he touched them inappropriately in his home. One girl told investigators Miller gave her massages that made her uncomfortable, and another girl said he grabbed her rear end while giving her a piggyback ride.
According to court documents, Miller told investigators that he did not intend for his touching to be sexual in nature.
On Tuesday night, Miller attended a meeting for the Fletcher Place Neighborhood Association and was briefly detained by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) for allegedly violating a no-contact order. An IMPD spokesperson said Miller was verbally served the no-contact orders in case he didn't know they existed.
On Friday afternoon, Miller appeared in court to face a Hendricks County judge on the issue. The judge did not put him back in jail, but said if he violates the order again he'll go back behind bars.
Miller has now signed the order. He will not be able to attend neighborhood meetings or be in public places with any of the seven individuals on the list. If he sees them in public, the judge said he should walk the other way. He will be able to attend City-County Council meetings, even if his alleged victims show up.
No additional charges were filed Friday against Miller.
He has not resigned from his position on the City-County Council. Last week, he released a statement explaining why he is staying in his council seat instead of resigning, saying he wanted to use his position as a voice to push for the issues that affect his district.
Miller was removed from all three committees on which he serves. During a previous full City-County Council meeting, he recused himself from voting on any matters involving the Marion County Prosecutor's Office, the agency that filed charges in the child molestation case. That removal has some of his constituents now saying they will be equally represented.
"It is too bad that he can not separate professional from personal but in an instance like that where you have a court order and somebody shows up...maybe he should have called," said neighbor Randy Cramer.
A Hendricks County judge ruled Miller can have custody of his son as the child molestation case moves forward. His trial is expected to begin in about four months.

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption launched its new website and it's complete with some exciting new tools.
The site is still full of helpful information about foster care adoption, but it makes finding free resources even easier with the creation of a library. The library is a one-stop shop for anyone looking for more details on how to adopt from foster care.
You can also easily search the agencies that the Foundation works with to hire adoption recruiters across the US and Canada and connect to the agency that is your town.
Israel is five years old. His mother and father say he makes friends wherever he goes, but it's a far cry from how his life started.
At just five years old, Israel has spent more than four years in foster care. He was put into eight different foster homes, he was separated from his siblings and he was labeled difficult and "unadoptable." At only three years old, the system gave up on him.
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is excited to share our successes from our 25th anniversary year. Check out our annual report to learn more about the families created through the Wendy's Wonderful Kids program, the adoption recruiters who are so dedicated to our mission and the donors who make their work possible.
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is proud to fund adoption recruiter positions throughout the U.S. and Canada at private and public adoption agencies. These recruiters are part of our signature adoption program called Wendy's Wonderful Kids.
There are more than 300 Wendy's Wonderful Kids adoption recruiters who work specifically to find loving, permanent homes for the children who have been in foster care the longest. These dedicated professionals work with older children, sibling groups and children with special needs.
In honor of National Professional Social Worker Month, we wanted to share a very special story.
Jessica Phoenix is a Wendy's Wonderful Kids adoption recruiter in Florida who works every day to find safe, loving families for children waiting in foster care. This past year she adopted Zay, a teen on her caseload who had all but given up hope for a family. His adoption was finalized just days before his 18th birthday. Here is their story:
Each year the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption ranks the nation's employers based on their adoption benefits. This self-reported list is a way to highlight the organizations in the United States who stand with us in our support of adoption and adoption benefits that allow more and more families to grow through adoption.
One of the top 100 companies of 2017 is Robins & Morton. Founded in 1946, this privately held construction company is one of the largest in the nation.
Did you know that the average length of time that a child is in foster care before being adopted is about three years? Most children move house-to-house during that time and often fall behind in their school work, aren't able to make lasting friendships and find it difficult to trust.
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption works hard to find forever families for children waiting in foster care because we believe that every child deserves a safe, loving and permanent home.
Keeping sibling groups together is one of the main purposes of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption's signature adoption program, Wendy's Wonderful Kids. Too often siblings are separated when they enter foster care and our recruiters work hard to help siblings maintain those biological relationships and get adopted by the same family.
No child should linger in foster care, but all too often that is exactly what happens. The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption's signature program, Wendy's Wonderful Kids works to change the face of foster care adoption.
Our adoption recruiters work with the children who have been in foster care the longest, some have given up on a forever family. Our recruiters work with older children, sibling groups and children with special needs, to find them the loving, supportive, safe family they deserve.

Chronic illnesses are medical conditions that last very long and often can't be completely cured. As such, they don't only affect the patients' health, but can have a devastating effect on their social life as well. Suffering from the illness for so long can cause people to experience financial problems, lose confidence, and develop a sense of isolation and loneliness.
If we see one of our friends struggling with some of these problems, it is our duty to step in and lend a hand. Let's take a look at some of the good deeds we can make.
Ask your friends how they feel
Yes, it's that easy. The simple act of showing that you care can go a long way in making the friends suffering from chronic illnesses more confident and less isolated. It is always good to know that you have someone who will be ready to listen to your problems and show some compassion. Still, you have to remember that, when having such conversations, you shouldn't try to steer your own problems and help the friends feel better by comparing them with other people.
Don't overdo the medical advice
When you see your friends going through a difficult period, you feel very tempted to find some way to help them. Sometimes, this help can come in the form of shared knowledge or reference to some new medical procedure. Do your best to refrain from such behavior. You are far from qualified to offer medical assistance, and you may rub your friends the wrong way if you are not well versed in the topic. Instead, stick to offering support and making your friends feel better when they are down.
Help with the things you can
Although you probably lack the medical knowledge to treat chronic diseases, you may lend your hand when it comes to useful everyday stuff. For instance, if you have a cousin that works at the hospital you can find a way to help the friends with the appointments and tiresome paperwork. Or, if you can find kratom wholesale, it can help them relieve their pain. And sometimes, even a good movie recommendation can prove to be of great help.
Support lifestyle changes
Living with a chronic illness often entails some lifestyle changes. Your duty as a close person is to make sure these changes are introduced with ease. Therefore, if your friends need to quit smoking, do not light a cigar in their presence, or quit smoking altogether to show support. If they need to lose some weight, prepare them healthy meals when they drop by. Alternatively, you can ask them to go to the gym together. Everything change is far easier if you have good company.
Take some time to learn about the illness
You don't need to become an expert, but even something as simple as a basic understanding of the condition can make your friends' lives much easier. First, you will show that you care enough to learn more about their lives. Second, you will become much better apt to provide first aid and align with your friends' lifestyle necessities. This is especially important in the case of dietary restrictions associated with conditions like diabetes or chronic kidney disease.
Be flexible when making plans
As we already mentioned one of the worst things about suffering from a chronic disease is the possible social implications. That is why you must keep your friends a part of your social circle, even if they sometimes prove to be a difficult company. You need to understand that various delays and canceled meetings are not their fault and be as flexible as possible when making and keeping plans. For every canceled activity there is an equally satisfying alternative.
Show the friends their value
Finally, showing support isn't all about pampering – your friends also need to preserve the sense of dignity and self-value. So, help them realize their value by assigning them with the tasks you hold important. You need someone to watch your kids while you are out for dinner or to pick up your car from the mechanic? Don't disrespect your friends by assuming they are not capable of doing these things. We hope these seven tips will help you reach a better understanding of the troubles experienced by your friends suffering from chronic diseases and present you with a couple of ways to make their lives easier. True friendships are shown in the wake of trouble – now is the time to show just how good friend you can be.

In an increasingly complex and congested digital battlespace, the need to provide near real-time information on the whereabouts of an adversary's location and intent, using enhanced situational awareness capabilities, is vital in aiding armoured units to respond quickly to incoming threats. It is therefore imperative for defence forces to have a greater understanding of the capabilities available, to enhance both combat effectiveness and the survivability of the vehicle.
With this mind, SMi Group are delighted to announce that the fifth annual conference in the sell-out portfolio of Armoured Vehicle events, Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness, will be returning to London on the 1st – 2nd April 2020.
Registration for the conference is now open and an early bird saving of £400 is available for bookings made by 13th December 2019 at http://www.armouredvehicles-sa.com/telcopr1
The 2020 speaker line-up includes:
Conference Chairman
Military Speakers
Industry Speakers
The newly released brochure with the two-day agenda and speaker line-up can be downloaded at http://www.armouredvehicles-sa.com/telcopr1
As the leading conference for armoured vehicle experts focused on C2, C4i, sensors, optronics and vehicle architecture, the 2020 event will provide the perfect platform for both operational users and industry to share insights on the latest systems and sub-systems, providing greater awareness of existing capabilities and future requirements.

text: The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, in the latest move by the White House to discredit the work of special counsel Robert Mueller. The move by Attorney General Bill Barr will give the Justice Department the power to subpoena witnesses and to convene grand juries and to file criminal charges. Congressmember Jerrold Nadler, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, tweeted in response, "These reports, if true, raise profound new concerns that the Department of Justice under AG Barr has lost its independence and become a vehicle for President Trump's political revenge."


text: I was born in Istanbul - Turkey. When I was 8 years old I started to play guitar and I met with the music. Since that day music has been playing a significant role in my life. In 2018, I started my dj & producer career and did my own music. Moreover, I started The Sin Records Academy while I was doing my Bachelors degree in order to be more professional and knowledgeable in this field. I was one of the most fastest learner graduated at The Sin Records Academy thus, as soon as I graduated I became their musician. When I graduated from the University I moved to London - UK to improve my knowledge, to be more professional and gain much more real experience.

Case 8: The Strathy Language Unit and Canadian English
Literature and Canadian English — the Strathy Language Unit
One of the important changes brought to the Department of English with the appointment of James Cappon in 1888 was a shift to literature and away from philology as the focus of English studies. A focus on language was to return nearly a century later, however, with a bequest in 1981 from an alumnus, J.R. Strathy.
Strathy's gift mandated the creation of the Unit that bears his name, whose mission is to study standard English usage in Canadian speech and writing. The corpus on which this study is based includes, among other sources, the work of several Canadian authors who gave permission for their fictional and nonfictional texts to be entered into the database: Margaret Atwood, Max Braithwaite, J.K. Chambers, Robertson Davies, Eugene Forsey and Makeda Silvera.
The Strathy Language Unit has produced two editions of the Guide to Canadian English Usage as well as two paper series; established the Strathy Corpus of Canadian English; collaborated in projects such as the Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles; supported an undergraduate course in Canadian English at Queen's; hosted conferences such as the 2010 English Dictionaries in Global and Historical Context; and served as a resource for students, international scholars and members of the public interested in Canadian English. From 2000-2010 the unit published Strathy Undergraduate Working Papers on Canadian English, featuring papers by students in the Canadian English course at Queen's University. A new version of the series, Strathy Student Papers on Canadian English, includes papers by undergraduate and graduate students at any institution. The new series is hosted on the Strathy QSpace site, text taken in part from http://www.queensu.ca/strathy.
Margery Fee, Director, Strathy Language Unit (1987-1993)
The second director of the Strathy, succeeding W. C. Lougheed, was Margery Fee , whose scholarship included literary criticism as well as linguistic analysis. While overseeing the research that would lead to Guide to Canadian English Usage (co-authored with Janice McAlpine [Arts '77 and Director of the Strathy from 2000-2010]), Fee also edited Silence Made Visible: Howard O'Hagan and Tay John , a collection of essays regarding O'Hagan's novel.

It is amazing how people love work on their feet and therapists often love working on the feet and yet…Most therapists don't know the anatomy of the feet! I myself didn't!

It has always been incredible to me how much massage clients enjoy foot massage. Yet most therapists know very little about the detailed anatomy of the foot!
