September 26, 2016 – Ottawa, Ontario – Department of Finance Canada
Canada's ambitious economic agenda is recognized around the world as a model of generosity and shared prosperity. That's because we listen to Canadians, and we are committed to the notion that when you have an economy that works for the middle class, you have a country that works for everyone.
In a Google Hangout with students from across the country held at Ottawa's La Cité collégiale, Minister of Finance Bill Morneau and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance François-Philippe Champagne today launched the Government of Canada's pre-budget consultations by asking Canadians to share their ideas on how to strengthen the middle class and ensure Canada is well positioned in the global economy of tomorrow.
Consultations for Budget 2016 had the highest turnout on record, engaging more than 250,000 Canadians. This year, the Government aims to reach even more Canadians, and chose the earliest consultation launch date ever so that as many people as possible can take part in the budget process.
In the coming days and weeks, Minister Morneau and Parliamentary Secretary Champagne will be travelling across Canada to meet with Canadians to discuss how the Government can bring together the best our country has to offer to ensure a strong, confident and more resilient middle class. The consultations will complement the work of the Government's Advisory Council on Economic Growth, which has been helping shape the Government's growth strategy.
All Canadians are invited to submit their ideas online and via Twitter, using the hashtag #Budget2017.
"We want to work with Canadians to ensure a strong, confident and more resilient middle class—one that is prepared to face the challenges ahead, and filled with the confidence to build a great future for themselves, and for their kids and grandkids. I am tremendously proud of what we have accomplished for families over the last year, and I look forward to building on this momentum through an honest, constructive dialogue about the challenges facing us today, and how we can seize opportunities to strengthen our communities, and create sustainable and well-paying jobs now and in the future."
— Bill Morneau, Minister of Finance

|Neoptolemus sacrificing Polyxena after the capture of Troy.
Attic black-figure Tyrrhenian amphora, ca. 570-550 BC.
It seems quite possible as has been suggested that the story of St Perpetua's execution is influenced by the celebrated play. However, it is more likely that truthful Tertullian described what actually happened and that Perpetua actually demonstrated similar courage and dignity in front of the sword as the celebrated pagan princess Polyxena in Euripide's play.
Euripides Hecuba
Text from The Internet Classics Archive
Ah! what wilt thou say? Art thou not come, as I had thought, to fetch me to my doom, but to announce ill news? Lost, lost, my child! snatched from thy mother's arms! and I am childless now, at least as touches thee; ah, woe is me!TALTHYBIUS
How did ye end her life? was any mercy shown? or did ye deal ruthlessly with her as though your victim were a foe, old man? Speak, though thy words must be pain to me.
Lady, thou art bent on making mine a double meed of tears in pity for thy child; for now too as I tell the sad tale a tear will wet my eye, as it did at the tomb when she was dying.
All Achaea's host was gathered there in full array before the tomb to see thy daughter offered; and the son of Achilles took Polyxena by the hand and set her on the top of the mound, while I stood near; and a chosen band of young Achaeans followed to hold thy child and prevent her struggling. Then did Achilles' son take in his hands a brimming cup of gold and poured an offering to his dead sire, making a sign to me to proclaim silence throughout the Achaean host. So I stood at his side and in their midst proclaimed, "Silence, ye Achaeans! hushed be the people all! peace! be still! "Therewith I hushed the host. Then spake he, "Son of Peleus, father mine, accept the offering I pour thee to appease thy spirit, strong to raise the dead; and come to drink the black blood of a virgin pure, which I and the host are offering thee; oh! be propitious to us; grant that we may loose our prows and the cables of our ships, and, meeting with prosperous voyage from Ilium, all to our country come." So he; and all the army echoed his prayer. Then seizing his golden sword by the hilt he drew it from its scabbard, signing the while to the picked young Argive warriors to hold the maid. But she, when she was ware thereof, uttered her voice and said: "O Argives, who have sacked my city! of my free will I die; let none lay hand on me; for bravely will I yield my neck. Leave me free, I do beseech; so slay me, that death may find me free; for to be called a slave amongst the dead fills my royal heart with shame." Thereat the people shouted their applause, and king Agamemnon bade the young men loose the maid. So they set her free, as soon as they heard this last command from him whose might was over all. And she, hearing her captors' words took her robe and tore it open from the shoulder to the waist, displaying a breast and bosom fair as a statue's; then sinking on her knee, one word she spake more piteous than all the rest, "Young prince, if 'tis my breast thou'dst strike, lo! here it is, strike home! or if at my neck thy sword thou'lt aim, behold! that neck is bared."
Then he, half glad, half sorry in his pity for the maid, cleft with the steel the channels of her breath, and streams of blood gushed forth; but she, e'en in death's agony, took good heed to fall with maiden grace, hiding from gaze of man what modest maiden must. Soon as she had breathed her last through the fatal gash, each Argive set his hand to different tasks, some strewing leaves o'er the corpse in handfuls, others bringing pine-logs and heaping up a pyre; and he, who brought nothing, would hear from him who did such taunts as these, "Stand'st thou still, ignoble wretch, with never a robe or ornament to bring for the maiden? Wilt thou give naught to her that showed such peerless bravery and spirit?"
Such is the tale I tell about thy daughter's death, and I regard thee as blest beyond all mothers in thy noble child, yet crossed in fortune more than all.

Actor John Abraham and his director friend Shoojit Sircar had a great idea for a film - militancy in Sri Lanka. They even had a title in mind - Jaffna, after the capital of Sri Lanka's Northern Province and the worst affected city during the LTTE years. For two years, they discussed the idea threadbare. Amid those conversations, in a sudden twist in the plot, Sircar brought up the subject of sperm donation and persuaded Abraham to make a light-hearted film about it.
And that is how Vicky Donor, the first production of Abraham's company, JA Entertainment, was conceived.

Thirsty Thursday Hurricane Aftermath
Today's Thirsty Thursday drink of the week is a Hurricane… With all that has happened and IS still happening, I think we all need a stiff drink. They are still rescuing people 6 days later from their homes in flooded waters.
My heart goes out to all the affected areas and folks in the southeastern Texas coastal cities and towns. Friends the devastation is unthinkable!!! Complete towns are just gone! Rockport TX like so many other neighborhoods and small towns are a total loss. We have had the news on 24-7 for days now like so many others and my heart is so full seeing the Texas folks come together to help in any way they can. We are so fortunate to have been north of Houston on the north side of Lake Conroe and only got the heavy rains and multiple tornado warnings, which I might add was some 255+ in a matter of 3 days. But we are safe now. My sister in Pasadena got 8″ in her house but my other 2 sisters weathered the storm fine.

Security Watch: Yesterday's Viruses Still Major Threats
security tip: beware of rogue antispyware and antipop-up products
spyware has become a fact of life for most computer users. from geeks to grandmothers, a bit of innocent web surfing can result in hijacked browsers, invasive cookies, and irritating pop-ups. most users seek relief through antispyware programs, but if you do not choose your antispyware and pop-up blockers carefully, the cure could be worse than the disease.
if you're looking to combat pop-ups, there are some good free blockers from google, msn and yahoo. the netscape 7.2 browser has one built in, and the windows xp service pack 2 installation adds one to internet explorer. many good antivirus suites now also come with pop-up blockers, so there is no need to actually buy a pop-up blocker.
the most popular antispyware products are ad-aware, spybot search and destroy, and spysweeper, all of which have free versions (spybot s&d is donation ware). the free versions will do both scan and clean most spyware, adware and malware, and do a pretty good job. unfortunately much of their popularity is by word of mouth and a few magazine reviews. however, there is a class of antispyware. rogue or suspect antispyware, that advertises through the very pop-ups that they are claiming to remove, and often badger a user with high pressure tactics until they finally agree to accept the download.
one of the hallmarks of these products is that they are free to download and scan, but if you want to clean your system, you must purchase a license. some of these will produce false positives, claiming spyware infections to further convince the user to purchase the product. the most insidious of the lot, recently called "extortion ware" by some sites, will also use malicious installations, blocking removal and in some cases cause connectivity problems, requiring the user to buy the product to get the uninstaller. in addition, a few of these rogue products will actually be spyware themselves, recording data and reporting back to their vendors sites.
so what do i do?
how do you tell the difference between a legitimate product and a ruse? as a general rule of thumb, if a vendor advertises it rids your system of pop-ups and spyware using a pop-up ad, it should be suspect. pop-up and banner advertisements often will often claim your system is infected with spyware. while some good commercial antispyware products offer free scans, legitimate ones should not be claiming that they already detec tan infection on your machine. .
according to a survey conducted by webroot and aol, over 90% of computer users have some form of spyware on their machines, so frequent scanning is a necessity. use one of the free scanner/cleaners first. if you don't know which to use, check magazine sites, such as pc magazine for reviews.
the website spywarewarrior.com, lists over 90 applications that have been tested or are suspected to be "products are of unknown, questionable, or dubious value as anti-spyware protection." while not all the products listed on spyware warrior's site may be bad, you will probably want to steer clear. another site worth checking out is the spyware guide which offers information and tips on spyware problems.
check out support sites for the experience of others. a google search on "spyware" will result in dozens of lists and sites. our march 23rd, 2004 security watch letter featured several free volunteer support sites that deal with spyware and the problems they cause. this article also lists download sources for ad-aware and spybot.
some of the websites that push rogue antispyware, as well as the ones that spread spyware and malicious code use vulnerabilities in windows and internet explorer to perform "drive by" installs, and display never ending pop-ups . keeping your pc up-to-date is an easy way to minimize becoming a victim. since some antivirus products block spyware as well, keeping those up to date helps, as well. if you're av is out of date, or you need a 2nd opinion, check out our list of free antivirus resources.
spybot s&d, spysweeper, and some other reputable products also can inoculate your system against some of these sites. we featured a simple, but effective way to use the windows security zones and a list of malicious sites to block scripted attacks in our june 22, 2004 issue of security watch letter. the spyware guide site also offers a free list you can import to block malicious sites.
blocking pop-ups is another way to avoid problems. if you use another operating system, or haven't applied windows xp sp2, consider installing a 3rd party blocker from msn, yahoo, or google. these utilities won't block the pop-ups from the windows messenger service (normally plain gray windows message boxes), but our nov 11th, 2004 tip can provide some guidance on blocking these messages. however, if your system is up to date, you won't need this tip.
if you find yourself in a situation where you are being harassed by endless popups trying to get you to buy a product (whether it's antispyware, gambling or porn) and you can't close your browsers fast enough, try these tips.
if you've got so many browser windows open that windows has made a group on the toolbar on the bottom, right click on it and select close group. if this doesn't work, close and save all other programs. if you're on a dialup, close the connection. either click on the start button and select shut down, or press controlalt-delete and select shut own. when the shut down window pops up, select restart. when your system restarts, your browsers should be gone. if you turn off scripting in internet explorer, or apply sp2 (win xp users only), this will also prevent whack-a-mole windows.
keeping your system clear of spyware, adware and malicious programs takes diligence and user awareness. most users that complain about pop-ups and spyware are unaware of how this stuff gets on their machines. pay attention to requests to download software to your machine. don't agree to anything until you read the end use license agreement (eula). if something sounds fishy, close the browser.

Winter has returned to us and we are supposed to get sleet, freezing rain and snow over the weekend. And we thought spring had come. Well, I don't know why we thought that since it wasn't even March yet and we seem to get at least one big snowfall in March which comes one day or night and is gone the next. Crazy.
I spent most of Monday night planning and researching for Triple Creek Ranch, so I was only able to get about 200 words written. But things got better Tues. and Wed. and last night . . . I reached and passed the 1/2 way mark in Book 3! Now all of you Triple Creek fans can celebrate with me and eat a cookie (if you have any around the house). But please, don't stop praying. I'm going to try to get the other half written by the first of April. We'll see. I'm pretty sure some of this will go quickly, but I don't know how many times I'll get stuck or something new will pop up to add to the story. Some new characters have been introduced in this book and some old ones have hung around a little longer so I'm better acquainted with them. :)
S and I babysit the kiddos tonight, so I won't be writing. And then an old friend of Mom's is going to be here Sat and part of Sunday so I don't know if I'll write any on Saturday night or not.
But I hope you all enjoy this next part of
The Graham Quartet and the Mysterious Strangers
Part 25
This story has been removed to publish it.Thank you!
What should the Quartet do now?
Was Guy one of the ones on that train?
What are your thoughts on this situation?
Will you be back next week to see what takes place?
P.S. Let me know if you are going to join the celebration by eating a cookie or something today. Or whatever day you read this. :)

There are two main types of psychometric tests used by employers
as part of their selection processes; aptitude tests and personality questionnaires.
Aptitude tests measure abilities such as verbal, numerical, or
abstract reasoning. They are always presented in a multiple-choice
format and the questions have definite right and wrong answers.
They are strictly-timed and to be successful you need to work
through them as quickly and accurately as possible.
There are at least 5000 aptitude tests which employers can use in the selection process and new tests are continually being developed and added to the already huge number of tests available. The companies that sell aptitude tests need to differentiate their own test from those of their competitors and this has produced a bewildering range of test names and acronyms. However, all of the tests you are likely to come across when applying for a job can be classified into six types:
Verbal Ability Tests - These
questions appear in most job selection tests because employers
usually want to know how well you can communicate. The test may
include questions on spelling and word meanings as well as those
that require you to understand analogies and follow detailed
written instructions.
Numeric Ability Tests - These questions appear in most general aptitude tests because employers usually want some indication of your ability to use numbers even if this is not a major part of the job. The test may include basic arithmetic, number sequences and simple mathematics. In management level tests you will often be presented with charts and graphs that need to be interpreted.
Abstract Reasoning Tests - This is believed to be the best indicator of fluid intelligence and your ability to learn new things quickly. These questions appear in most general aptitude tests. The questions take the form of a series of diagrams.
Spatial Ability Tests - These questions not usually found in general aptitude tests unless the job specifically requires good spatial skills. These tests measure your ability to mentally manipulate shapes.
Mechanical Reasoning Tests - These questions are used to select for a wide range of jobs including the military and emergency services, as well as many craft, technical and engineering occupations.
Data Checking Tests - Measure how quickly and accurately errors can be detected in data and are used to select candidates for clerical and data input jobs.
Our partner AssessmentDay offers online practice tests including: timed tests, answer explanations, score reports and problem solving strategies. You can see their selection of free practice tests here.
You can significantly improve your scores in aptitude tests by practicing the types of question that you will face. You should make your own decision about which types of question to practice. You could either concentrate on your weakest area or you could try to elevate your score across all areas. Whichever strategy you choose - keep practicing. Because of the way that aptitude tests are marked, even small improvements to your raw score will have a big influence on your chances of getting the job.
Personality tests are used to determine how you are likely to behave under various conditions. There are supposedly no right or wrong answers, and the questionnaires are usually completed without a strict time limit.
There are currently well over 2,500 personality questionnaires on
the market and each year dozens of new companies appear with their
own 'new' products.
Whilst, many of the well established companies who provide personality tests do operate to the highest ethical and professional standards, this market should be seen for what it is. One with low barriers to entry and one that is very poorly regulated. Anyone can set up a company to develop and sell personality tests and can make whatever claims they feel like, secure in the knowledge that they are very unlikely to be challenged.
Some of the companies that produce personality tests are very secretive about their methodologies and do not make public crucial information about how their tests were developed or how well they work, claiming that this information is ''proprietary".
For some personality tests, ''almost no evidence at all is available beyond assurances that evidence exists," reported a task force appointed by the American Psychological Association.
Many professional psychologists outside of the personality testing industry are extremely critical of the way that personality tests are used in the job selection process.
Despite the dubious validity of many of the personality tests used in selection, there is very little real advice about how to approach them. There are literally dozens of books and websites with advice on how to prepare your resume or how to answer 'tough' interview questions. However, when it comes to preparing yourself for a personality test, the advice is usually limited to 'just be yourself'. Why? After all, if you're going to spend considerable time and effort preparing your resume and preparing for the interview, then why not prepare yourself for the personality questionnaire?
One argument that you may hear, is that if you try to influence
the test results then you will have to operate 'outside' of your
personality type for 40 hours a week. This is overstating the case
to the point of absurdity; very few people would ever consider
applying for a job which was totally unsuitable for them. It would
be foolish to attempt to fake a 180 degree change in your
personality, but you may need to modify how one personality trait appears in the results of a test. This is perfectly reasonable as
most of us modify our behavior at work anyway and these tests are
attempting to infer behavior from our personality traits.
Despite all of the platitudes to the contrary, either you have the 'right' personality or you get rejected in favor of someone who has. The idea that there are no right and wrong answers is patently untrue. The test publishers and the organizations that use the tests admit as much when they say 'personality questionnaires help to replace subjective judgments with objective ones'. If there are no right and wrong answers, then what exactly is the test replacing subjective judgments with?
You may find it difficult to accept the idea of attempting to influence a personality test. However, before you make that decision, you need to understand what it is that the tests try to measure, how they measure it and how the employer uses this information.
Remember, there is very little consensus outside of the personality test industry about how accurate some of these tests really are, compared to aptitude tests or the tests used in assessment centers. This is one area where you really do have to make your own decision.

Recent news from our lab
Open Science Awards (11/2019)The Cognitive Psychology is proud to report that, for the second year running, the majority of our lab members - Felix Henninger, Benjamin Hilbig, Luisa Horsten, Sina Klein, Meike Kroneisen, and Isa Thielmann - recently received the Open Science Award of the Landau Psychology Department. We are determined to foster the principles of Open Science and will continue to strive for transparency and reproducability in our research.
Past news from our lab
Welcome to Our New Team Members (10/2019)The Cognitive Psychology Lab is happy to welcome Lena Steindorf and Kotryna Stupnianek as new team members who joined our ranks as junior researchers and teaching assistants. Lena - who is also a member of the Cognition and Attention Regulation Lab at the University of Heidelberg - is currently working on her Ph.D. on mind wandering. Kotryna - who is also a member of the Personality, Psychological Assessment, and Psychological Methods Lab at the University of Koblenz-Landau - is currently doing her Ph.D. on how just world beliefs relate to corrupt behavior. Welcome, Lena and Kotryna!
Ph.D. for Sina Klein (08/2019)The Cognitive Psychology Lab is happy to announce that our team member Sina Klein successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis with the title "For the Greater Good – A Dissection and Empirical Investigation of Pro-Environmental Behavior and Cooperation". In her thesis, Sina investigates how people decide in situations in which pro-environmental behavior and cooperation with one's own group are in conflict with each other and how these decisions can be influenced. The Cognitive Psychology Lab congratulates Sina and wishes her all the best for the future.
Teaching Awards for Cognition Lab (07/2019)For the fifth year running, members of our lab have received awards for excellent teaching. Isabel Thielmann and Meike Kroneisen received the award for their lab classes (Empirisches Praktikum) and Benjamin Hilbig received the award for his lecture "Learning & Memory". Congratulations to Isa, Meike and Benjamin and thanks to the students for their positive assessments and feedback. We will, of course, continue to strive for excellence in teaching.
International Media Attention (01/2019)Recent research on 'The Dark Core of Personality', co-authored by Benjamin Hilbig, has gained wide attention in the international media. Close to a hundred media outlets worldwide with a reach of several hundred million readers and listeners reported on the findings or interviewed the researchers. More information on the research itself and the media coverage can be found at darkfactor.org
Open Science Awards (11/2018)We are proud to report that the majority of our lab members - Felix Henninger, Benjamin Hilbig, Sina Klein, Meike Kroneisen, and Isa Thielmann - recently received the Open Science Award of the Landau Psychology Department. We are determined to foster the principles of Open Science and will continue to strive for transparency and reproducability in research.
Welcome to our new team members (10/2018)The Cognitive Psychology Lab welcomes its new Ph.D. students / junior researchers Luisa Horsten (DFG Graduate School "Statistical Modeling in Psychology"), Michael Kriechbaumer (DFG project "Experimental examination of proximate explanations underlying the survival processing effect in episodic memory" headed by Prof. Meike Kroneisen), and Felix Ludwig. We are also thrilled to welcome our new student assistants Sarah Arnemann, Maja Stoverock, Maximilian Tantik, and Vanessa Wiench.
Charlotte- and Karl-Bühler Award (09/2018)Our team member Benjamin Hilbig has received the Charlotte- and Karl-Bühler Award from the German Psychological Society (DGPs). The award is given every two years to mid-career scholars whose work has reached the level of a research program that has influenced a subfield within psychology and potentially spilled over to neighbouring disciplines. The full press release can be found here and laudation here.
Teaching Awards for Cognition Lab (08/2018)For the fourth year running, members of our lab have received awards for excellent teaching. We are particularly pleased to announce that, for the first time, the Master's level course "Programming Web-Based Studies" and the seminar "Cognitive Illusions" - both taught by Isa Thielmann - received an award. Another two awards go to Benjamin Hilbig - once again for both of his lectures "Learning & Memory" and "Thinking, Decision Making, & Language". Congratulations to Isa and Benjamin and thanks to the students for their positive assessments and feedback. We will, of course, continue to strive for excellence in teaching.
Fellowship from the Wikimedia/Volkswagenstiftung/ Stifterverband (07/2018)Felix Henninger is joining Wikimedia Germany's Open Science Fellows Programme, and will, over the course of the next year, be working to make open science practices more common. His focus is the construction of research tools and educational materials to facilitate and encourage the open sharing of research materials and resources.
New Grant from the German Research Foundation (04/2018)Jun.-Prof. Meike Kroneisen has received a 3-year grant from the German Research Foundation. In research on the survival processing effect, ultimate explanations have dominated the scientific arena so far. According to these explanations humans easily remember information previously evaluated with respect to its survival relevance because this memorial skill facilitates adaptive behaviors that help them survive. The project entitled "Experimental examination of proximate explanations underlying the survival processing effect in episodic memory" aims to investigate the episodic memory processes underlying the effect to provide a deeper theoretical understanding of the survival processing effect.
The dark core of personality: D (03/2018)A paper co-authored by our lab member Prof. Benjamin Hilbig has recently been accepted for publication in the prestigious journal Psychological Review. It develops a unifying, comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding dark personality in terms of a fluid, general dispositional tendency: the Dark Factor of Personality, or simply D. The Cognitive Psychology Lab congratulates Benjamin on this achievement. For more information on D and to download a preprint go to darkfactor.org
Ph.D. Scholarships at the Research Training Group "Statistical Modeling in Psychology" (03/2018)The Research Training Group "Statistical Modeling in Psychology" (SMiP) funded by the German Research Foundation, is seeking to hire PhD students. SMiP is a transregional collaboration of researchers from Freiburg, Heidelberg, Landau, Mannheim, and Tübingen, working to overcome the gap between substantive research in basic and applied fields of psychology and latest developments in statistical modeling and psychometrics. For more information and application procedures, please visit smip.uni-mannheim.de. The closing date for applications is April 30th 2018.
Research Fellowship from the German Research Foundation (09/2017)Dr. Isabel Thielmann has received a research fellowship from the German Research Foundation for a half-year research stay at the Amsterdam Cooperation Lab headed by Prof. Daniel Balliet. The project entitled "Personality traits and prosocial behavior in economic games: A meta-analysis" aims to provide a comprehensive, meta-analytic summary of evidence relating personality traits to prosocial behaviors in economic games. Overall, the objective of the project thus is to foster an enhanced understanding of different types of prosocial behavior, to bring forth personality theory in the prosocial domain, and to set a stage for future research on human prosociality.
Teaching awards for Cognition Lab (07/2017)We are honored to announce that, for the third year running, our lab has received awards for excellent teaching. This time around, all three lectures held by our team members in the past year - "Motivation & Emotion" by Meike Kroneisen and "Learning & memory" as well as "Thinking & language" by Benjamin Hilbig - were awarded. Our thanks go to the students for their positive assessments and feedback. We will, of course, continue to strive for excellence in teaching.
Research Training Group "Statistical Modeling in Psychology" (05/2017)The German Research Foundation has funded the Research Training Group "Statistical Modeling in Psychology", a transregional collaboration of researchers from Freiburg, Heidelberg, Landau, Mannheim, and Tübingen. The group aims to overcome the gap between substantive research in basic and applied fields of psychology and latest developments in statistical modeling and psychometrics. For more information, please visit http://smip.uni-mannheim.de.
New Grant from the German Research Foundation (03/2017)Prof. Benjamin Hilbig and Dr. Isabel Thielmann have received a 2-year grant from the German Research Foundation. The project entitled "Bringing angels and demons down to earth: Real-life generality and mechanisms of the link between personality and ethical behavior" continues an earlier grant from the German Research Foundation to B. Hilbig and I. Zettler. It aims at providing a thorough understanding of the boundary conditions and mechanisms of personality factors driving unethical behavior. Thus, the project bridges different lines of research on basic personality traits (specifically the HEXACO model) and behavioral ethics.
New edition of "Allgemeine Psychologie" (01/2017)A brand-new edition of the most comprehensive German textbook on all areas of cognitive/experimental psychology has just been published. We are particularly thrilled to report that it includes a whole new chapter on judgment and decision making that is co-authored by our lab member Benjamin Hilbig. For more information on the book please visit the publisher's homepage.
Information on teaching updated (08/2016)We have updated all information on courses taught, exam regulations, and Hiwi-Jobs and internships. Please visit our teaching page.
Teaching awards for Cognition Lab members (07/2016)We are proud to announce that our team members Isabel Thielmann and Benjamin Hilbig have received awards for excellent teaching in the academic year 2015/2016. Isabel received the award for her lab class (Empirisches Praktikum) on personality judgments. Benjamin received the award for his lecture "Learing & memory" (Allgemeine Psychologie I – Lernen, Gedächtnis und Wissen). Our thanks go to the students for their positive assessment and feedback. And congratulations to Isabel and Benjamin!
Ph. D. for Isabel Thielmann (12/2015)Recently, our team member Isabel Thielmann successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis at the Graduate School of Economic and Social Sciences, University of Mannheim. In her publication-based thesis entitled "Trust from a Trait Perspective: A Theoretical Framework and Empirical Test" Isabel investigates the personality determinants underlying trust and trustworthy behavior, particularly focusing on the HEXACO model of personality and the Honesty-Humility factor. The Cognitive Psychology Lab congratulates Isabel and is thrilled that she will stay on board as a post-doctoral researcher.
Castellan Award for Felix Henninger (12/2015)We are proud to announce that our colleague Felix Henninger, together with Pascal Kieslich from the University of Mannheim, has been awarded the Castellan Award for Best Student Paper for the working paper "A Flexible, Cross-Plattform, Open Framework for Interactive Experiments" at the annual meeting of the Society for Computers in Psychology (SCiP) in Chicago.
Their paper introduces a general mechanism for implementing interactive studies, that is, any form of study in which participants' experiences depend not only on their own responses, but also on those of other participants who complete the same study in parallel. The software thus especially serves the rapidly growing field of strategic interaction research within psychology and behavioral economics.
The novel contribution is that Pascal and Felix integrate the interactive component into general-purpose experimental software that is used in, for example, cognitive psychology. This gives researchers heretofore unknown flexibility in constructing studies, especially with regard to combinations of methods from the respective fields.
We have been using the package continuously in our research for several years, and are happy that it is now available to fellow researchers as open-source software. Please find downloads, source code, and further documentation at https://github.com/psynteract/.
Welcome to Our New Team Members! (10/2015)The Cognitive Psychology Lab is happy to announce Meike Kroneisen, Jens Bender, and Mathias Twardawski as new team members. Meike received her Ph.D. at the University of Mannheim where she was recently a post-doctoral researcher. She is joining us as an Assistant Professor for Experimental Psychology. Her primary research focus is on human memory, with particular emphasis on whether our memory is adaptive or not. Jens - who is also a member of the Institute for Communication and Media Psychology at the University of Koblenz-Landau - has joined our ranks as a teaching assistant and researcher in the area of moral behavior and motivated information processing. Mathias recently completed his Master's degree in Social and Cognitive Psychology at the University of Mannheim. This winter semester he joins the Graduate School "Learning and Teaching Processes" - and our lab - as a Ph.D. student.
Welcome to our lab, Meike, Jens, and Mathias!
Reproducibility of Psychological Science (09/2015)Over the last 4 years, the Open Science Collaboration has conducted a large-scale project to assess the reproducibility of psychological findings, using a sample of articles from major journals. The Cognitive Psychology Lab is proud to say that our team member, Felix Henninger, has been a part of this collaboration, and is a co-author of the report now published in the journal Science.
Reproducibility is a core feature of science — any claims should be independently verifiable and validated. In practice, however, this step is rarely taken, and accordingly it is unknown how many studies could be reproduced. To estimate the extent of reproducibility in current psychological science, the Open Science Collaboration, a group of 270 researchers worldwide, led by Brian Nosek and the Center for Open Science, has completed high-quality, fully transparent, direct replications of 100 studies from three major psychological journals. Of the studies so performed, the authors judged 39 to be very similar to the original results. Overall, effect sizes were reduced by half, as compared to the initial reports.
The now-published report concludes that "[t]he present results suggest that there is room to improve reproducibility in psychology. Any temptation to interpret these results as a defeat for psychology, or science more generally, must contend with the fact that this project demonstrates science behaving as it should." It has received extensive press coverage, including the New York Times, The Atlantic, The Guardian, Spiegel Online, the Süddeutsche Zeitung and the Deutschlandfunk.
New Grant from the German Research Foundation (06/2015)Prof. Benjamin Hilbig and Isabel Thielmann have received a 3-year grant from the German Research Foundation. The project entitled "Antagonistic personality trait patterns and cooperative behavior: A multi-component approach" aims at providing a thorough understanding of the nuances of (non-)cooperative behavior in different antagonistic trait patterns (i.e., antisocial, borderline, narcissistic, and paranoid personality patterns). Thus, the project links different lines of research on basic personality traits (specifically the HEXACO model), cooperation, and personality accentuations/disorders.
Cognition Research Panel launched (05/2015)The Cognitive Psychology Lab has launched a new research panel which will enable all who are intersted in participating in studies and experiments (both via the Internet and in the lab) to register and receive corresponding invitations. The studies and experiments are usually interesting and provide monetary incentives (or, at least, course credit). Registration in the panel is completely free, there is no obligation to participate in any studies/experiments, and registration can be revoced at any time. Sign up now be part of the Cognitive Psychology Lab research panel.

A fun, go-anywhere introductory snowshoe for kids from 6 to 10 years old.
Your kid needs to burn some energy, and venturing down snow-covered trails while breathing in fresh mountain air is an ideal way for him or her to do so in winter. Turn to the Tubbs' Kids' Flex Jr. Snowshoes. Designed for kids from 6 to 10 years old, the Flex Jr. serves as a fun, go-anywhere introductory snowshoe for flat and rolling terrain. Its Torsion Deck design adapts to variable snow conditions and keeps traction elements in contact with the snow at all times so your kid isn't not falling all over the place or sinking deep into the snow.
The 17-inch Flex Tail frame design allows the rear third of the frame to bend as it's weighted, which increases maneuverability and reduces stress on leg joints. Side-mounted traction rails provide safe, rounded edges and give kids the confidence to keep exploring in icy conditions. The rotating toe cord improves walking efficiency by up to 7% by letting the tail of the snowshoe pivot downward so that the snow falls off with each step. A simple tightening and locking buckle on the QuickLock binding system makes getting your kid in and out of the snowshoes a cinch while also providing all-day stability and control.

Tubbs Kids Snowshoes
Perfect choice
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I bought these for my four year old grandson. The size, durability and functionality are just right. I believe the manufacturer's guidelines are for ages 6-10, but if you need REAL snowshoes, not just a TOY, this is the perfect choice.

It's been a horror couple of years for media businesses in the ANZ markets, and on the revenue side things don't look like getting much better any time soon.
Despite some optimistic predictions by analysts pre-Christmas, early new year indicators from the retail sector are that there is little if any growth to count on in 2012. So display advertising is likely to remain soft.
The car industry is struggling, real estate prices are flatlining, and whilst employment rates are still holding up relatively well job ads are stagnant at best.
Europe is either officially in recession or about to be, depending on who you read, and the only glimmer of hope for developed economies seems to be that the US might just pull a very small rabbit out of the hat and post some limited growth this year.
All of which will leave China wondering who it is going to sell to and trying to figure out how to manage a precariously balanced domestic economy as it grows by a forecast 8.3% this year.
With such challenging external factors media companies are looking to get their operational businesses streamlined and positioned for the next economic upturn, or at least refocused into new markets.
And any way you look at it the name of that game is digital.
Locals will watch with interest as News Ltd puts a price on The Australian's paywall and starts to charge consumers in February some time, and then extends that to its other news properties. Will they follow a similar model to Slovakian media company Piano Media and introduce a unified paywall for all their sites and channels? Or will they price individually by product and brand?
Meanwhile, Fairfax has taken initial steps with AFR.com by bundling print and online subscriptions, where once there was a distinct price regime for each point of access. This has stimulated useage of AFR.com and provided some good initial data which will no doubt feed into the next iteration of the AFR's digital strategy.
Other publishers are starting to use detailed information about patterns of useage to feed into cross-selling and build new value for clients.
And this, I think, is the key point for media in 2012: data. Data in all its forms can add enormous value for publishers: data about reader habits and preferences, data about customer needs, and data as a basis for new forms of journalism.
In 2012 innovative, consumer focused product development that takes advantage of all available data inputs for marketing and sales – and data output for editorial – will deliver much needed trial, purchase and loyalty as publishers look to grow valuable digital audiences.
The past ten years have shown us a lot, and one of the lessons is that audiences expect creativity and technical excellence in production values, as well as good content. "Quality" content on its own will not convince consumers to pay online. Quality – whatever that is – needs to be packaged cleverly, it needs to be easily accessible on all devices, searchable, filterable, and able to be interacted with.
In digital publishing terms we're about to step into the interim stage of maturity as an industry. We've left infancy behind, but we're not yet fully formed. The need for experimentation hasn't passed, but at the same time expectations are vastly higher than they were five or six years ago and cost management is more critical than ever.
Just as the first phase of digital product development in media publishing was characterised by a serendipitous relationship between traditional journalism and the disciplines of software development, so the next phase of digital publishing needs to take advantage of other non-traditional media skills and expertise.
Some publishers have begun creating new roles in their newsrooms and marketing teams, whether it be social media managers or visual data journalists. This is a good step, but the challenge is to do more than simply retrain the smartest young reporters in the newsroom. Those smart young reporters have a lot to offer, but they won't provide the solution on their own. So bringing in new skillsets, such as computer scientists, and training them as computational journalists is an example of the kind of direction publishers need to go.
Publishers have been on a set path for some years now, following the advent of new information and communication technologies. But for too long most didn't really want to acknowledge this new reality. During 2010 and 2011 there was a belated recognition at the highest levels that digital really is the future. 2012 will be the year to act on that.
It's going to take more careful planning, and in some instances a new culture of innovation and in others a whole of business transformation; it will take a fair degree of courage and even some luck, but the alternative is not pleasant to contemplate.

"I don't see myself in an ivory tower"
Jeff Buckley
Two Towers
I see a yellow you
A mighty tower
Like a big flower
Slightly askew,
Against the sky ever so blue
May the 4th Be With You!
May the fourth and the force be with you today. Celebrating a high holy nerdy day!

For many people, the sight of a majestic castle calls to mind fairy tales and fantasy, history and heraldry. Such allusions to chivalrous medieval times inspire whimsy and nostalgia and can be made by budding artists of any age with a simple craft project. Unlike the architectural marvels of true historic castles, these can be made with recycled materials found around the home. Building a castle would not be complete without the element that gives it its distinctive look: a turret.
Wrap the paper towel tube in construction paper. Cover the entire tube and glue paper into place on the tube.
Draw a large circle on a new sheet of construction paper using the protractor. Cut the circle out with scissors. Fold the circle in half, making a sharp crease. Unfold. Fold the circle in half in the opposite direction, again making a sharp crease, and unfold. The creases should designate four equal sections.
Cut out one-quarter of the circle along the creased lines. Place a strip of double-sided tape along one straight edge. Roll into a cone shape. Overlap one straight edge over the other and smooth toward a pointed corner.
Stand up the tube on its end. Outline the top edge in liquid glue. Place the cone, pointed-side up, on top of the tube. Hold in place for 60 seconds for the glue to bond to the cone. Let dry.
Decorate as desired. Draw a doorway and windows on the tube or cut them out using a utility knife. Add extra glue to secure construction paper around cutouts if necessary.
Most recent
- Use tube only for shaping paper turret and slide out once paper is secured. This is not recommended unless very sturdy paper is used or turret is attached to other castle pieces for stability.

Bras for a Cause 2013May 15, 2013
Breasts. They are an oddly powerful thing. They sustain life, feed, nourish, strengthen, entice, bewitch, mesmerize, and seduce, they build confidence and they tear it down. They are to big, to small or just right. They are pulled, prodded and stuffed…they are covered up, concealed, hidden and flattened down. They are exposed, pushed up, uncovered and shown off. They can be a source of pride or one of embarrassment. They are photographed, drawn, painted, written about and sung about. They can be a muse or a nemesis. They are pierced, tattooed, enlarged and reduced. They are also cut open…cut off…taken away.
Breasts cross the border and link the phases of a woman's life between her sexuality, motherhood and her later years and represent radically different things to her over the course of a lifetime. They tend to be at the very heart of her femininity. Starting off as nonexistent in her childhood years and growing into an object of desire and tools used to attract, entice and please a mate as a young woman and then another transition into the source of life and nourishment for her child as she becomes a mother. The children grow and the breasts and body change shape and size, transforming into the symbols of beautiful life phases.
As a woman that photographs women and brings to life the peak of their femininity, I cannot imagine the pain and sense of loss that a woman may feel at the prospect of losing something that, to many, may be at the heart of her femininity. My heart aches for the women that have been given doctor's orders to remove her breasts. This is not at all to say that breasts define a woman's femininity, but I believe that most women would agree that they do set us apart from men and a great deal of time, effort, energy and thought goes into them at every stage of life.
As a photographer, I aim to accentuate the female figure in its most beautiful and curvaceous form. The hips…the waist…the breasts. As a woman, I believe that women—all women—should have the right to keep their breasts and that all breasts, big, small, medium, uneven, saggy, perky, scarred, and perfect have a right to stay where they belong…on a woman's beautiful and ever-changing body.
The images for the Bras for a Cause calendar brought to the forefront of my mind the incredible impact that breasts actually have on the life of a woman. Thank you to the gorgeous women that so willingly obliged me as I asked them to show off one of their most personal assets and thank you all for the love and support for the women around the globe that face breast cancer on a daily basis.
Devin & MadelineJanuary 8, 2013
As a photographer I love almost every shoot that I do but every now and then one stands out above the rest. This shoot was one of those for me. It was Devin & Madeline's wedding day in Jackson Hole on the Walton Ranch and rather than do their photos after the ceremony we opted to meet at 7am and try to capture the early morning light. We hadn't planned on the fog! It was terribly cold and wet and Madeline was such a trooper in her wedding dress and cowboy boots. Although the images were the exact opposite of what we had planned on, they turned out to be some of my favorite images I've been privileged enough to take part in creating.
~Drew & Effie- A Jackson Hole Engagement~July 31, 2012
I knew Drew was going to propose before he did it and obviously before Effie did so I was so excited to do this shoot for weeks! Drew and Effie met while working in Moran, Wy (just outside of Jackson Hole) at the Heart 6 ranch. It is pretty much a guarantee that if you spend a summer at a ranch in Wyoming you are going to fall in love…and that's what happened.
I met Drew working at Heart 6 Guest Ranch in Moran, Wy years ago. He was a wrangler and I was photographing. Almost immediately I found out he and I could have come from the same family. Literally. Oddly enough his Mama shared my last name of Bryant…which might not seem so odd, because of course a lot of people share last names, however, in this case, it turns out that we both have a mystery to the Bryant side of the story. We both know that we had family members in Louisana and even crazier is the man George Leo Bryant (which would have been my grandfather). He sort of disappeared from my fathers life when my dad was 9 and he never saw or heard from him again. Later in life we came to find out that he had lived and passed away in a little town near New Orleans. It turns out that in Drew's family there is a Leo (or george leo…I can't remember now) on their side with the last name of Bryant who lived in Louisiana that continues to remain somewhat of a mystery to them as well. So we really could be family. Crazy
Anyways…that is a long story to tell you that I was so excited when Drew's mom called me to tell me that he was about to get engaged. And not only was he getting engaged, he was getting engaged to a girl named Effie! How fabulous is the name Effie!! Not only is her name fabulous but she is fabulous as well. Gorgeous hair, the longest legs you have ever seen and a sweet as can be. She will surely keep Drew in line with is wild antics and contagious sense of humor. I am so excited for you both! Congratulations!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Junior goalkeeper Steven Heintzelman (Middleton, Mass.) made four saves to help visiting Babson College earn a 0-0 double-overtime draw at MIT in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's soccer action on Saturday afternoon at Steinbrenner Stadium.
Babson, which is unbeaten over its last three matches, is now 4-1-4 overall and 1-0-2 in league play. MIT has tied back-to-back games and is 4-3-2 overall and 0-1-2 in the NEWMAC.
Heintzelman recorded his fourth shutout of the season and his fifth in nine career starts while lowering his goals against average to 0.56.
Junior Jeremy Cowham (Quincy, Mass.) turned away three shots before leaving in the 82nd minute for the Engineers. First-year Nicholas Jordan (Glen Allen, Va.) replaced him and made two saves in 28 minutes of work.
Heintzelman made three first-half saves and came up with his best stop of the day just after the break when he tipped MIT first-year Peter Novoa's (Omaha, Neb.) shot over the crossbar following a turnover just outside of the box. The Beavers created the majority of the chances in the second half but were unable to break the deadlock.
First-year Mitchell Collins (Burlington, Mass.) broke into the box from the left wing in the 53rd minute only to see Cowham race off his line to make a diving save. Cowham made a pair of saves on junior Alex Crompton (Killington, Vt.) and Jordan was called upon to punch away senior Noah Parker's (Hampden, Maine) bending free kick in the 89th minute.
Babson appeared to score the game-winning goal less than a minute into overtime after Parker put away a pass over the Engineer's back line from junior Luke Beaulieu (Westfield, N.J.), but the tally was taken off the board following an offside call. MIT's best scoring chance came late in extra time when first-year Noah Faro's (Rexford, N.Y.) blast from outside the box went just wide of the right post.
The Engineers finished with a slim 16-12 edge in shots, while the Beavers owned a 7-6 advantage in corner kicks. The sides combined for 32 fouls and four yellow cards over 110 minutes.
Babson returns to action on Wednesday when it travels to Mitchell at 3:30 p.m., while MIT hosts Brandeis on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
• The Beavers are now 39-9-5 all-time against MIT.
• Babson has tied all four of its overtime games this season and is now 4-6-10 in extra time going back to 2015.
• The Beavers' one loss in the month of September is their fewest since 2000, when the program went 8-1-1 in the opening month of the season.
• Babson's four draws are just one shy of the most in a single season during head coach Jon Anderson's '75 33-year tenure. His 2002 squad recorded five ties.

Table Lamp by Joe Koizen
Joe Koizen Shares The I-Lamp Table Lamp
Joe Koizen, the designer of the highlighted work I-Lamp by Joe Koizen explains, The I-Lamp began as a piece of scrap metal. Originally found on an Austin, Texas construction site, it was repurposed into a sleek and personal lighting source. It is simultaneously a lamp, a sculpture and an objets d'art. This particular piece began as a 40' I-Beam used to support the weight of a building. This I-Lamp mimics a mid-century modern aesthetic with lines that evoke images of science fiction and the atomic age. The materials are simple, readily available, inexpensive and when repurposed, they create a beautiful light from materials once destined for the scrap heap..

Here is a clip of the beginning. Enjoy.


text: A regional cooperation platform to reduce pharmaceuticals in the Baltic Sea Pharmaceutical residues in the Baltic Sea are causing concern as the full impact for the marine environment is still unknown. To reduce emissions, measures are needed on both national and regional level. Share Contact Listen The Baltic Sea Pharma platform brings together projects and stakeholders from the whole region to assist knowledge-sharing, increase effectiveness, streamlining activities and support regional policy development. Kick-off in Riga 22 November 2017 PA Hazards organized a kick-off meeting for the Baltic Sea Pharma platform in Riga 22 November, hosted by the Latvian Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development. We welcomed 40 participants from eight countries, pan-Baltic and European organizations. The aim of the meeting was to establish a regional network, start a dialogue on how to reduce emissions of pharmaceuticals to the Baltic environment and identify prioritized actions for the platform. Agenda Project descriptions Presentations Project MORPHEUS Project CW Pharma Project MicroWasteBaltic Project GrePPP Project NonHazCity HELCOM CG PHARMA Interreg BSR project platforms Baltic Impulse Baltic Sea Pharma platform conceptual model We would like to thank all participants for their active contribution! Ideas, comments and suggestions will shape the future work of the Baltic Sea Pharma platform. Interested in joining the platform? Please contact Jenny Hedman or Maxi Nachtigall if you would like to contribute with knowledge, join in the dialogue or just be informed about the activities of the platform. The platform is resting on three inter-linked columns Projects Transnational projects targeting the emission of pharmaceuticals to the Baltic from different angles (advanced waste water treatment, waste management, procurement criteria etc.) provide the knowledge base and output of results. Currently four projects are clustered on the platform (see below). Other projects may be added. Supporting activitiesRegional state of plays, extended stakeholder networks, task-oriented workshops and horizontal thematic analyses are examples of activities aimed at supporting project implementation and policy development in the region. Policy development Outputs from the Pharma platform aim to support the development of regional and European policy on the issue of pharmaceuticals in the environment. They could include policy papers, regional guidelines, best practices and strategies. This work will be done in cooperation with Helcom's Correspondence Group on Pharmaceuticals (CG PHARMA). Conceptual model of the Pharma platform The platform projects Morpheus (pdf 149 kB) CWPharma (pdf 281 kB) GrePPP (pdf 280 kB) MicroWasteBaltic (pdf 283 kB) A flagship of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region The Baltic Sea Pharma platform is a flagship under PA Hazards during the period 2017-2020. The flagship is targeting both human and veterinary pharmaceuticals. Activities mainly focus on non-regulatory solutions, such as new technical and management options. The main objective of the platform is to foster the implementation of physical measures within a reasonable time frame, e.g. by 2020, resulting in reduced emissions of pharmaceuticals to the Baltic environment. The platform has been developed within PA Hazards and is managed by the coordinators of PA Hazards. Development of the platform 2011 – 2014 Flagship project on pharmaceuticals Make the Baltic Sea Region a leader in sustainable management for pharmaceuticals was a flagship project under PA Hazards between 2011 and 2014. Following the end of the project, PA Hazards decided to give the topic of pharmaceuticals in the environment increased attention. The decision was based on the general growing concern over potential environmental impacts of pharmaceuticals and the current policy movements within the EU, Helcom and globally. Also, more knowledge and coordinated actions were requested by many Baltic Sea countries. The results and established network provided by the project was utilized to develop a strategy for PA Hazards' work on pharmaceuticals in the environment in 2014. Make the Baltic Sea Region a leader in sustainable management for pharmaceuticals (pdf 3 MB) 2015 – 2016 Project development and joint process with Helcom A strategic work to stimulate the development of new transnational projects was undertaken. In December 2015, a project development workshop, with funding institutions and policy makers present, was organized in Copenhagen. Simultaneously, PA Hazards initiated cooperation with Helcom to produce a regional status report on pharmaceuticals in the Baltic environment. A Background report on pharmaceutical concentrations and effects in the Baltic Sea was published by PA Hazards in 2015. In 2016, the Pharma platform concept was developed and accepted as a flagship of the EUSBSR. Helcom initiated a Correspondence Group on pharmaceuticals. Project development workshop Background report on pharmaceutical concentrations and effects in the Baltic Sea (pdf 1 MB) Correspondence Group on pharmaceuticals 2017 Projects funded, platform launch and status report Four project ideas presented at the stakeholder workshop in Copenhagen received funding by the Interreg South Baltic and Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme (see above). The Baltic Sea Pharma platform was launched at the EUSBSR Annual Forum in Berlin. The kick-off meeting in Riga 22 November 2017 has three main aims: Facilitate contact and information exchange between PA Hazards projects addressing pharmaceuticals Inform relevant regional stakeholders about the projects and how they can contribute to policy development (and vice versa) Develop future platform work for added value and outreach A status report has been recently published by UNESCO and HELCOM. The report was developed jointly by Helcom and PA Hazards. It serves as a case study within the framework of UNESCO Emerging Pollutants in Water Series under UNESCO-IHP's International Initiative on Water Quality (IIWQ) Project on 'Emerging Pollutants in Wastewater Reuse in Developing Countries'.

Good read and thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

I'm 17, and was diagnosed with psoriasis 4 years ago, in ninth grade. I was genetically predisposed to it from my dad, but it may never have shown up if I hadn't gone to a very difficult, high-stress school. What I have now is pretty minor compared to completely covering my arms, neck, and scalp years ago, and I think the lack of serious outbreak is mostly due to my cutting lots of snacks out of my diet.ReplyDelete
Vaseline never really helped me much in removing scales because the inflammation still remained, and so last week I was just scrolling through Abe's Market, and decided on a whim to buy a small tube of Waxelene. I don't know why, but it's been REALLY effective in moisturizing the spots, not greasy at all, absorbs quickly, and the redness is almost nonexistent after 2 days. I had the same problem you described with vaseline, meaning mine would actually get more red after use despite removing the scales,
Also, this might be a good tip...I cut out all sugary drinks (excluding fruit nectars) and have been drinking 4 bottles of water a day minimum for a few weeks now, and some of my spots went away immediately after. I also quit coffee :'( I still drink it, but not as regularly as I used to, and find that I have much more energy than before. I think the lack of caffeine also helped. I've been experimenting with different foods, and noticed that, in my case, and possibly yours, anything with lots of refined sugar or caffeine(such as commercial chocolates, candies, etc.,) immediately causes inflammation and itchiness.
Good luck with the winter in England :/ I'm in NYC and it's pretty frigid here too ):

text: New in paperback, the first biography of the Confederate general branded as incompetent for surrendering the South's strategic river post to Grant It was the sad fate of General John C. Pemberton (1814-1881), a northerner serving in the Confederate army, to die in disgrace and humiliation. Because he surrendered Vicksburg to General Grant, many Confederates considered him a traitor. Because he lost this strategic southern port on the Mississippi, Pemberton was branded as an incompetent. In this biography, the first to examine Pemberton's life and career in full scope, Michael B. Ballard credits Pemberton for military prowess that previous Civil War scholars have denied him. Here his strength is shown to be in administration, not in the theater of combat. Ballard persuasively argues that if Pemberton's abilities had been properly used, he could have made a positive contribution to the Confederate cause. Ballard focuses upon Pemberton's theory of command in South Carolina, where his foremost conviction was the preservation of his army. Pressure from both state officials and the Confederate War Department in Richmond, however, dictated that he must hold Charleston at all costs. Submitting to his superiors, Pemberton carried this new philosophy to Mississippi for his next assignment, where his main objective was to defend Vicksburg, a city whose river defenses blocked Union commerce along the Mississippi River. Throughout the winter of 1862-63 Pemberton's forces held off Ulysses S. Grant's army, but in spring of 1863 Grant's complex diversions confused Pemberton and allowed the Union to gain a beachhead on the east bank of the river and to launch an inland campaign that trapped Confederates in Vicksburg. Remembering the lesson of Charleston, Pemberton tried to save this river city but lost both Vicksburg and his men. Ballard's slant on Pemberton's life, fair and revisionist, must be considered in future assessments, for it details fateful moments in Pemberton's career and offers new insights gained from family papers and manuscripts not previously examined. ""I find the author's arguments to be convincing,"" says Civil War historian Herman Hattaway, ""and like him, I am led to a keener appreciation of Pemberton than I ever had before.

Muddy ground, sunny weather, a pretty view and a sweet 4C; the Scottish Student Sports XC Championships, hosted by the Edinburgh University Hares and Hounds proved to be ideal conditions for a good cross country race. The course, however, proved to be quite challenging, running through the scenic Craigmillar Castle Park in Edinburgh. There were many inclines, and one very muddy downhill that proved ample entertainment for the mashall posted there. As a result, there were many drop-outs as the race progressed, and so a big congratulations is deserved to every entrant that finished the challenging course. For the men's race, it was 9.6km, and the women's 6.1km.
