Evaluating newspaper articles
- Keep Science in Society topical by encouraging students to read science stories in the news and to bring cuttings in, for discussion and for the class noticeboard. See Keeping Science in Society topical.
- Most people get their information on current science issues from newspapers. Teach them to evaluate this information critically.
- Many science articles have a strong social context, they include human interest but also attempt to influence policy. They can be used as the stimulus for a range of activities.
Report of new research findings
Sometimes in Science in Society we use newspaper articles just to stimulate interest or to introduce a human story but careful evaluation of the story is often a worthwhile activity.
Give out an article and get students to use the questions below to frame the evaluation. Most articles will not provide answers to all these questions.
Give out a second article on the same story and allow students to make a comparison of the two versions.
Discuss their findings in the whole class.
1. What conclusions are suggested by the headline or introduction?
2. Who did the investigation, what is their reputation?
3. Who paid for the investigation?
4. Where was the investigation carried out?
5. Where did the scientists report their research?
6. From the information given could you write an outline plan of the investigation? Consider issues like sample selection, sample size and use of controls.
7. Is any explanation offered for the effect? Is it just a correlation or does the evidence point to a mechanism?
8. What do other scientists say about the research? Are there other interpretations of the results?
9. Would you be able to make a decision based these articles? How might you get more information?
You may also be able to find the original research report as a comparison. Although this will usually not be suitable for detailed student reading it is valuable for them to see a scientific paper and to compare the original and the news articles derived from it.
Source of current articles on health issues
'Behind the Headlines' on the NHS site is an excellent source of recent news articles on health issues; it gives a detailed evaluation of both the news articles and the original scientific report, and links to both. The evaluation comes out within a day or two of the original news article and aims to 'assess the reliability of both the journalists' reporting of health stories and the research on which they are based'.
Suggested activities
1.3 Media watch
1.7 Talking risk
1.7 Radioactive pigeons
1.8 Plastic bottles and cancer
1.8 Health in the news

The 8th Annual AMYN Summer Youth Camp just concluded and this time it was to Sunshine Coast. The participants were blessed with opportunity to strengthen their Iman and brotherhood while enjoying all the outdoor and recreational activities .
One of the aims of the camp, besides fun & recreation, was to have reinforce our Iman and the beautiful Islamic character.
So, during the 3 days and 3 nights at the camp, daily knowledge circles were held on some of the needs of our time, ie Effect of Iman on a great Islamic Character, Importance of Great Character with Parents, our wives, children, and others in general. These talks were presented by HikmahWay Institute instructors and AMYN Speakers. The final talk of the camp though was presented by our Director, Sheikh Aslam AbuIsmaeel, on the life of a superstar and of a super Muslim with knowledge, great deeds and internal happiness in this short life and in the eternal Paradise.
Besides the talks, everyone also had a good time with various activities such as rock climbing, abseiling, archery, swimming at the beautiful Sunshine Coast beach, sports, games and etc. Rock climbing & abseiling surprised many of us as Muslims rarely experience this activity! Four people got the bulls eye and popped the bulls eye balloon in archery's bow and arrow activity. The beach, its sand and the sun were spectacular and refreshing, subhanallah! The halal food catered was healthy yet very delicious, the main course of the meal as well as the desserts, mashaAllah!
The camp was a great opportunity to combine between the best of both worlds (balanced fun and knowledge) in a halal Islamic manner while making new friendships.
At the Australian Muslim Youth Network, AMYN, we are already planning the next year's 9th camp, inshaAllah! So, remember to join us again in the next AMYN Camp, and in the meantime, cherish the moments we have had this time and in the past with the love and mutual respect stemming from our love for Allah.

2009 Toyota RAV4 SportReview
I Love It, It Is A Perfect Average Family Suv — I loved the gas mileage. I loved the shape and rims on the vehicle. I loved the price for parts. I loved how dependable the vehicle is. even after 103,000 miles I have never experienced any mechanical issues and don't expect to for a long time.
Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros: Gas mileage, dependability, price, everything
Cons: Seats could be a little more comfortable for long trips.

2009 Toyota RAV4 Limited V6 4WDReview
Awesome Ride — The V6 has great acceleration and fine handling. Everything is simply great about this car especially value for money... if it wasn't for the plastic parts in the interior it would have passed as a Lexus No navigation packages were offered in Canada for this model. The upgraded audio system from JBL and the back view mirror were valuable additions
Pros: Performance, Gas mileage and built
Cons: No navigation package

2009 Toyota RAV4 BaseReview
Great To Drive, Plenty Of Room, Low Road Noise, Great Audio, But The Rattle In The Back Is Annoying. — * The performance is overall great, no sluggish response, and for a small SUV the turns are very smooth. *Build Quality: The build outside seems great, however, inside the car I can hear a small plastic rattling in the back. Side note: there is plenty of room on the inside, I am 6'5 and I don't feel cramped at all. *Cost of ownership: isn't bad so far. I get approx 22 MPG in the city and burbs, and the price for gas isn't terrible *Fun Fact: The steering feel very responsive, the turns are smooth and it's really fun to drive, and the blind spots aren't bad at all for a SUV.
Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros: Looks great on the inside and outside without the high price tag.
Cons: Wait till the Toyota issues are gone, I bought the car before I heard about the RUN AWAYS, so avoid them till the problem is 100% taken care of

2009 Toyota RAV4 Sport V6 4WDReview
Best Small Suv, That's It — This is a great small SUV. There is no other vehicle in it's category that has the power this V6 has. Few people know but it has 269HP and is the same motor that's in the lexus IS and RX, Toyota Avalon. Toyota's buttery smooth 3.5 V6 that still gets 27 on the highway. The sport has stiffer suspension and great looking 18"s with 55 profile tires and an identical spare.
Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros: A rocket. 0-60 in less than 7 for an SUV.
Cons: the silly back door still swings to the side.

2009 Toyota RAV4 Base V6 4WDReview
Rav4 Is A Terrific Car. — The RAV4 handles incredibly well. The engine is extremely quick for a 4-cylinder. The ride is very smooth and turning is a dream. I like the overall interior and how the Ipod adapter is set up so you can change settings as you drive.
Primary Use: Family transportation

2009 Toyota RAV4 Limited V6 4WDReview
Awesome Car — what's not to like in the RAV.... near perfect.... I wish it came with in dash navigation but I was told it's only available in US models. The thing I love the most is the roaring of the very responsive engine when you press down the gas pedal
Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

2009 Toyota RAV4Review
More Than I Expected From A Small Suv — 09 rav sport, love the V6, really quick and fun to drive, handles great.Exterior looks great, interior could be a little more advanced but not terrible, I`m 6'2" and its a comfortable ride. First foreign manufactured car ever. So far I am impressed. Traded a Dodge dakota for the Rav. Love the Rav, Dakota was ok. Rav has great gas milage and build feels solid with good braking and excelleration. Not sure about having runflats, and radio volume could be better. Overall very happy with Toyota.
Primary Use: Family transportation

2009 Toyota RAV4 Limited V6 4WDReview
Rav4 Review (limited, V6, 4wd) — The fastest car I've ever owned. Quicker than a Mazda Miata. 0-60 in 6.1 seconds and quarter mile in 14.6 seconds! Great gas mileage to boot! Build quality is great. It's a Toyota. Appearance is sleek. Leather inside, moonroof, JBL audio + subwoofer. Cost is low. I only expect routine maintenance. It is very fun!
Pros: Gas mileage, V6, 4WD
Cons: I can't change the horn

There are always requests here at Microsoft for reducing the footprint that the component store takes up (\Windows\winsxs). Applying a service pack to Windows Vista or Windows 2008 will increase the size of the store even more to allow for the staging of the binaries that make up the service pack itself. Because space considerations are very common in the server world, and sometimes in the personal and professional space, I wanted to make sure everyone knew how to reclaim space within the component store after applying a service pack.
For Service Pack 1 installations on Windows Vista, the tool to use is VSP1CLN.exe.
For Service Pack 2 installations on Windows Vista and Windows 2008, the tool to use is COMPCLN.exe.
Running either tool will remove the ability to uninstall the service pack, so make sure that you are happy with your Windows installation before doing this. The amount of space reclaimed should be roughly the equivalent of the files that comprise the service pack. Both tools can be run against an online (running OS) or offline image (image mounted in IMAGEX or another tool).
NOTE: You cannot run VSP1CLN on a Windows 2008 installation because it is already on SP1.

Absolutely NONE. And no, its not just because he's a Mets fan. Trust me, I wouldn't waste my time blogging fruit hanging that low. Its the dyer commitment to absolutely everything, followed by the complete naivety surrounding his public transit from Jersey to Queens. The hat, the jacket, the commemorative t-shirt, the pins, the assumed Mets tighty-whities, the lucky VIP badges he kept from the one time he paid 450 dollars for a meet and greet book signing with Keith Hernandez. All that dedication, and you let the fate of your Christmas morning hinge on the operation of the New Jersey Transit? I'm pretty sure those trains have derailed more times than the amazin' Mets themselves. Huge mistake not accounting for that possibility Mr. Fleming.
When your emotionally invested that heavily in anything at all, you give yourself hours of lee-way. Whether you're seeing favorite band in concert , trying to score tickets to the new Star Wars movie, or just have to get your hands on the brand new iPhone you're making sure you are unconventionally early. You wake up at dawn, call out of work even though you get off 2 hours before first pitch, and you put aside cab money for a last resort.
"I've always done the pomp and circumstance of opening day, where you get to see the wreath come out, the Shea family comes out, you get to see the first pitch," Fleming told NBC New York. "I didn't see the first pitch. I don't even know who threw out the first pitch. I didn't get to see the national anthem. I didn't get to cheer Cespedes when they introduced him. I didn't get to cheer Bortolo Colon's return."
Just listen to this 40 year old baby 'But I get dressed up every year for this, and I didn't even get to see my favorite base ball player when they introduced him, WEHHHHH'. I guess not cheering Bartolo is a justifiable gripe, but dude the train ran off the fucking tracks! It's a pretty significant problem within the infrastructure responsible for moving a hundred thousand people a day, I think it takes a back seat to clapping for a man half your age. And here's the best part. He made the game anyway!
Fleming says he finally made it to the stadium in time for the game, but the commute took him 10 hours round trip, and he missed all of the opening day pre-game traditions.
On the bright side, Fleming's beloved Metropolitans won the game, besting the Braves 6-0. Unfortunately, the trip back to New Jersey was also a drag, with Fleming reporting overcrowded train stations, misinformation, and general chaos. "All you see is a sea of humanity and nobody knows what's going on," Fleming said, speaking, once again, for all of us.
10 Hours is laughably sad. I don't think there is any commute that would reach the 10 hour mark for me. I think it would take around 6 hours until I would just find the cleanest surface, pull the sweat shirt over the head, and take another crack the next morning. I could just see this guy fuming out his ears surrounded by a bunch of drunk fans chanting "Meet the Mets!". Probably knocked over a bunch of kids Costanza style when the subway doors opened.

WHEN 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park opens to the public next weekend in the backyard of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, there will be no signs or guards admonishing visitors not to touch the art. Quite the contrary.
Twenty bone-shaped benches by the Dutch artist and designer Joep van Lieshout sprawl across a meadow, forming a huge human skeleton; the piece, "Funky Bones," is meant both to evoke the remains and artifacts of the American Indians who once lived in the region and to offer a place to picnic and lounge. A terraced pier overlooking the park's 35-acre lake and resembling a topographical map was designed by the sculptor Kendall Buster of Richmond, Va., as a perch for fishing or reading, except when the lake floods every year. All eight of the artists' installations, which dot the park's unruly woodlands, wetlands, meadows and lake, were conceived to handle wear and tear from people as well as nature.
"We didn't want it to be a precious thing," said Lisa Freiman, the museum's curator of contemporary art and director of the park. "There are no restrictions. Whether you create them or not, people will touch and climb on the sculpture anyway."
The new art park is one of the largest in the United States and rare in its focus on temporary, site-specific commission. "We're resisting this tendency in the last few decades to collect giant sculptures and then try to keep them forever outside," Ms. Freiman said. "These things have lives to live and at a certain point will be retired."
Ms. Freiman is behind the interactive ethos of the park, which will be free and open around the clock, as well as its mission of giving less-established artists, in addition to well-known ones, the opportunity to experiment. Type A, for instance — the New York team of Adam Ames and Andrew Bordwin, whose work explores the nature of competition and collaboration — has suspended two giant aluminum rings horizontally, one above the other at heights of 12 and 25 feet, from trees and former telephone poles, so that the rings' shadows will align perfectly during the summer solstice. It is a meditation on the way relationships move in and out of sync that was inspired by two years of team-building exercises Type A conducted with the museum's staff.
Tea Makipaa, a Finnish-born artist living in Germany, has placed an almost 50-foot-long ship called the "Eden II" out on the lake. In the lakeside shack nearby, visitors can call up sound and video about the supposed passengers, refugees from an ecological disaster. While the lifespan of the installations will vary, the museum's director, Maxwell Anderson, anticipates the water-related pieces will succumb to the elements faster.Continue reading the main story
"We can imagine leaving Tea's piece to become a shipwreck," Mr. Anderson said. "Why not just let it do what it needs to do?"
LOS CARPINTEROS A fantastical basketball court fuses this two-man collective's interest in surrealistic architecture and Indiana's love of the sport.
The full-size court with two hoops is filled with a maze of bright red and blue arches - as high as 19 feet and as wide as 51 feet - that represents the imagined trajectory of a bouncing ball changing possession between two teams. Perhaps not coincidentally, the palette also brings to mind Indiana's history of shifting between Republican and Democratic allegiances.
"It's an endless game, with all the connotations you can take from that situation," said Dagoberto Rodríguez Sánchez, one-half of this collective from Havana. "With every bounce the geography of the game changes."
His collaborator, Marco Antonio Castillo Valdés, added, "No one wins."
But all can play.
The artists imagine the court will be a paradise for skaters and those interested in extreme sports. "This place can be used for anything except basketball," Mr. Rodríguez Sánchez said with a laugh.
Mr. Castillo Valdés said, "It would have to be creative basketball."
ANDREA ZITTEL As part of her series of experimental living structures that examine what is really necessary in daily life, this California artist has created an inhabitable floating island in the shape of an igloo and installed it in the lake.
It is intended to be used and customized by a series of residents; the first, who will live in it through the summer, are Jessica Dunn and Mike Runge, students at the Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis. They have built a bicycle generator for energy, planted a garden in self-watering containers that bob in the lake and created an onshore note-writing station where visitors can write messages that will be floated to the students in small igloo-shaped vessels.
When a flag is flying on the island, park visitors can ring a bell onshore, and Ms. Dunn and Mr. Runge will pick them up in a rowboat for a tour of the island. All guests are being encouraged to take an object from the igloo and leave another in exchange. "Our possessions will be more fluid than we're used to having them," Mr. Runge said. Ms. Dunn added: "Andrea Zittel is handing this island over to us to interpret into our art piece. In return we want to let the public make its mark as well."
JEPPE HEIN In "Bench Around the Lake" Mr. Hein's bright yellow benches take fanciful swoops and turns before appearing to tunnel down into the ground and emerge again dozens of feet away, near (or in a few cases far from) the lake's edge.
"Once you start to experience them sequentially, you'll feel that connection between them," he said. Over the last decade, this Danish-born artist has explored the social and political dimensions of placing his benches in public spaces. Here he was interested in baiting visitors to walk around the lake in search of the next one, and in fostering interaction at the different resting spots.
"They are a tool for communication, and create a kind of social playroom," Mr. Hein said.
All 15 benches are functional, though some are more roller coaster or slide than stable platform, putting guests in close proximity to friends or strangers. The one that Mr. Hein refers to as "kissing bench" is small and dips in the middle. "When two people are sitting on it," he said, "they slide in together, wanted or not."
ALFREDO JAAR This Chilean-born artist based in New York is known for his meditative architectural spaces and has built a large square within a square in the park's woodlands using stacked gabion baskets filled with limestone rocks and sprouting grass. The only way to penetrate the eight-foot-high outer wall is through a dark tunnel with a beacon of natural light at the far end.
"There will be a lot of trepidation and suspense because people don't know what will be at the end," Mr. Jaar said.
Visitors will emerge into a grassy minimalist cube garden with wooden benches that form a square in the center and a wall of trees lining the perimeter of gabion baskets.
"My work has dealt with a lot of tragedies around the world, and I was looking for a space of lamentation, of healing," said Mr. Jaar, who views the more than two million stones in the gabion baskets both as a symbol of man-made destruction and a source of refuge.
They also dampen exterior noise. "I wanted to offer a place to be with yourself, to be with someone else, to be without distractions," he said.Continue reading the main story

Home >> Uk + Ireland >> England >> Bedfordshire >> Leighton Buzzard >>
[Transcribed and edited information from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland - 1868]
LEIGHTON BUZZARD, a parish, post, and market town in the hundred of Manshead, county Bedford, 18 miles south west of Bedford, and 41 from London. It has a station on the London and North-Western railway, which here passes through a slightly carved tunnel 272 yards in length; there is also a branch here to Dunstable. It is situated on the east bank of the river Ouse, or Ousel, over which is a bridge leading into Buckinghamshire, and near the Grand Junction canal, which is navigable for vessels of eighty tons. The parish, which is of large extent, contains the chapelries of Billington, Eggington, Stanbridge, and Heath with Reach. The soil is in general fertile, but there is a considerable tract of common, now enclosed. The proper adjunct to its name is "Beau Desert," corrupted into Buzzard. It is supposed to be the Lygeanburg of the Saxon Chronicle, which Cuthwulph took from the Britons in 671.
Here was formerly a Cistercian cell to Woburn Abbey, founded in the reign of Henry III., also a priory cell at Grovebury, subordinate to Fontevrault Abbey in Normandy. The town of Leighton has considerably increased since the formation of the railway. It comprises one wide street branching off at the market-place to the right and left. It is paved and well lighted with gas. It contains many well-built houses and shops. There has lately been built by subscription a corn exchange with assembly rooms, &c., at a cost of £7,000. The market is considered the first in the county for corn, cattle, &c. Near the market-house, which was rebuilt in 1852, is an ancient stone cross of five sides, 27 feet in height, on a base of 7¼ feet. It is in the early English style of architecture, and is supposed to have been built in the 13th century. Near the summit are niched figures of a bishop, Virgin and Child, &c. In the town are two banks,' a savings-bank, temperance hall, union poorhouse, &c. The town is under the jurisdiction of the county magistrates, and is a polling place for the county elections. Courts leet and baron are held in Whitsun week, also on the last Thursday and Friday in October, by Colonel Hanmer, as lord of the manor. A considerable trade is carried on in timber, iron, lime, bricks, corn, &c. A portion of the female inhabitants are employed in the manufacture of lace and straw plait. Leighton Poor-law Union includes 16 parishes or townships, 10 in Buckinghamshire, and 6 in Bedfordshire. It is also the seat of a superintendent registry, and new County Court district. In the neighbourhood is a Roman encampment. The living is a vicarage* in the diocese of Ely, value £400, in the patronage of the Prebendary of Leighton-Buzzard in the cathedral of Lincoln. The parish church, dedicated to All Saints, is an ancient cruciform structure, with a tower crowned by an octagonal spire 193 feet high. The interior of the church, which has been re-pewed, contains an old font, stalls, monuments, &c. In addition to the parish church, there are four district churches, at Stanbridge, Billington, Eggington, and Heath with Reach, the livings of all which are perpetual curacies, varying in value from £260 to £94. A new church, designed to be a chapel-of-ease, is now about to be built at the north end of the town; also National schools, which are much required. The parochial charities produce about £599 per annum, including £200, the endowment of Wilkes' almshouses, founded in 1630. There are grammar, Lancastrian, infant, and British schools, the last founded in 1813. The Baptists, Wesleyans, Primitive Methodists, and Society of Friends, have each a place of worship. Colonel Hanmer, K.H., of Stockgrove, is lord of the manor. Market day is Tuesday. Extensive horse and cattle fairs are held on 5th February, second Tuesday in April, Whit-Tuesday, 26th July, 24th October, and the second Tuesday prior to Christmas Day. The wool fair, which is the largest in the county, is held on the first Friday in July.

We have been designing custom shelving for many years, and for a wide range of use by our customers.
Shelving can be manufactured for a vareity of product sizes, heights, and weight tollerances.
There's no such thing as an off-the-shelf shelf, they have to be made to measure, and designed for certain strength tolerances based on the individual and collective weight of the items stacked.
We can design shelving that fits your purpose, in that the depth of the shelf and the weight that the legs will take is determined by you. Such custom shelving is modular, and you can vary the height and width of interlocking sections to suit your particular factory or garage space.
Tyre Spacers are a great way of getting the ever bigger diameter car tyres into stillages designed for smaller tyres. They can be made to measure, fitted loose or bolted into place.
