Transcriptional networks that control the development of organisms are precise, highly coordinated, and complex. This proposal seeks to understand how the same transcription factor can specify multiple distinct cell fates during the development of an organism. Specifically, we are interested in the transcription factor Olig2, which can promote both a motoneuron and an oligodendrocyte cell fate. We hypothesize that Olig2 is able to perform its multiple functions through interactions with other DNA binding proteins causing it to bind different targets in different cellular contexts. Testing this hypothesis using current methods for the analysis of transcription factors is difficult because they cannot trace binding throughout a cell lineage, making it impossible to correlate DNA-binding events in progenitor cells to the final cell fates of their progeny. We propose to use a novel method, transposon """"""""Calling Cards"""""""", to record Olig2 binding during neural differentiation. The method entails fusing the transposase of a transposon to a transcription factor, thereby causing it to direct the insertion of transposon DNA into the genome near where it binds. The transposon becomes a """"""""Calling Card"""""""" that permanently marks the transcription factor's visit to that place in the genome. By recovering these Calling Cards along with some of the genomic DNA that flanks them and then determining their DNA sequences, it is possible to map the genome-wide binding history of the transcription factor. We propose to apply the Calling Card method to understand how Olig2 carries out its distinct functions. Since many important transcription factors perform more than one function during development, the insights that we gain from this work should be broadly applicable.
Our specific aims are 1) to trace Olig2 binding through neural stem cell differentiation to understand how it promotes two distinct cell fates, 2) to confirm that differentially bound target genes promote motoneuron or oligodendrocyte cell fates, 3) to analyze Olig2 and Ngn2 binding in living zebrafish using Calling Card technology.
These aims are feasible: we have successfully implemented the Calling Card method in both yeast and mammalian cells, and our preliminary results demonstrate transcription factor directed insertion of Calling Cards in zebrafish. We are confident that the rewards of further developing this technology and applying it to understand the process of cell fate specification will be substantial
For neurons to properly function, they must be coated with an insulating material called myelin. The cells that produce and maintain myelin are called oligodendrocytes, and if they are damaged or compromised, the nervous system becomes impaired, causing diseases like multiple sclerosis. One possible way to treat diseases caused by myelin loss is to differentiate stems cells to generate oligodendrocytes or their precursors. These cells could then be used to replace the dysfunctional oligodendrocytes. However, we are not yet facile at controlling stem cell differentiation. This proposal seeks to understand the mechanism by which stem cells differentiate into oligodendrocytes using a novel method that will allow us to analyze this process in a way that has not previously been possible. It is our hope that a better understanding of oligodendrocyte differentiation will ultimately translate into stem cell based treatments for demyelinating diseases.

"Just a short note to thank you and your great staff for all of your extra efforts that greatly contributed to the success of the Microsoft Turn up the Heat Program held in June 1999. From the beginning, Operation Altitude knew that we had made the right decision to work with Trail Dust. Your contagious enthusiasm and great ideas for the unconventional and complex program were most welcome by OA and Microsoft. Hats off to your staff for their hard work, long hours, dynamic personalities and most importantly a sincere desire to get the job done and to do it right. Even more importantly, it made the Microsoft participants time spent in the desert a special and memorable event. John, it was truly a pleasure working with you and all of the Trail Dust crew".

"I just wanted to take a moment and let you know all the fabulous comments we've gotten this past year from our clients, after they returned from one of the jeep tours. Our client base is well traveled and mostly the groups are an incentive type of nature. They have high expectations and you've exceeded them all, even if they've done a jeep tour before. Even after 14 years here in the industry, it is still my very favorite activity to offer my clients."
CMP General Manager

"Thanks for a great time! Our employees thought it was one of the best Christmas parties ever. Everything was fantastic, from the food to the cowboy songs around the fire. We'll definitely be back again."
President Diversified Financial Concepts
"I would like to compliment you on the first class operation of your tour company. From the friendliness of your receptionist, to the punctuality, exuberance, and knowledge of our guide Jay, you could not have asked for a better time. I learned more in one day than in the 17 years I have lived in Tucson.
"Everyone had a great time: They are still talking about it today! The drivers were absolutely outstanding. Their knowledge and friendliness made a good event a great event! I heard many comments from my students on what a memorable experience it was. We will definitely do this again.
"Thank you for an amazing job with the Andrews Kurth Dining in the Desert event on the evening of Friday, October 14, 2011. You were professional, patient, totally accommodating of everyone's needs, and just overall a delight to work with and we hope to have the opportunity to do so again, when we have a program in Tucson
You are an event planner's dream … very easy to work with and happy to adapt to our clients' ideas and concepts.
Thanks for making Kuoni Destination Management look so good.
National Account Executive Kuoni Destination Management
I was just in Tucson last week for the National Sales Meeting for our company North Safety Products. We stayed at Loew's Ventana Canyon Resort. You have an incredible city! But I especially wanted to send my special thanks to you for a terrific tour on Thursday – all of my peers enjoyed it immensely. Particularly I wanted to say "Thank you" to our guide Bob. Through the years I've done a lot of tours, museums, locales – but by far I found him to be one of my favorite experiences. He was incredibly knowledgeable about your history, plants, animals, and traditions. All your guides were great, but I rode with this guy and think he was fantastic. I wanted to bring his efforts to your attention and let you know it was really a memorable event!
I wanted to thank you for giving my friends and me the opportunity to go on a jeep tour yesterday. We enjoyed the comforts of "Tumbleweed." I have lived in Tucson for 22 years and know some of the information which Jey explained, but I actually learned a number of new things myself. The other members of the party were from Western Pennsylvania and ranged in age from 5 to 55. Many of them had never been to Tucson before. During this vacation they visited the Desert Museum, Sabino Canyon, Colossal Cave, and Tombstone, and they unanimously agreed that Jey's jeep tour yesterday was the best part of their week. Jey really made the trip special with all the information he shared. He was so open to everyone's questions and had ready answers about the desert flora and fauna. I have a number of connections throughout the Tucson community and look forward to spreading the word about my adventure with Trail Dust!

Okay so this guy from my English has been flirting with me. He is a hunk and he's so handsome. We've talked a couple of times in class. Then he texted meand asked me out. I hunk asked me out! Most hunky guys are players I heard and I don't know if he likes me that much. I'm an average looking tall girl and I don't know why a hot guy would be interested in me. The guy seems very sweet and he's very intelligent too. He even told me that his ex girlfriend manipulated him a couple of times and cheated on him several times. Poor guy. Should I go out with him. I kind of like him.

Yes, go out with him! He obviously likes you and finds you attractive.11|00|0
I don't know. I don't know if I trust hunky guys. They're players and I heard average guys make better boyfriend.

Minster FM News
Posties in York Support Prostate Cancer Charity Single
10:15am 15th April 2013
Royal Mail workers in York are supporting their colleagues who are releasing a charity single in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.
The Royal Mail Choir and X Factor winner Joe McElderry have joined forces by recording a charity single for Prostate Cancer UK, the company's Charity of the Year partner. They have recorded a stirring version of the hymn Abide with Me. The song can be downloaded from iTunes and Amazon MP3 and the Royal Mail say they will donate £1 to Prostate Cancer UK for every download. You can watch the video here:
The song was chosen by the Royal Mail because, they say of its historic link with the FA Cup Final, which will be held on 11 May. On 9 May, Royal Mail add that they will issue 11 stamps celebrating the greatest football heroes from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in men in the UK. Over 40,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year and one man dies from the disease every hour. Royal Mail Group and its employees say they have so far raised around £800,000, including matched funding, for Prostate Cancer UK since the charity partnership launched last year. Royal Mail Group and its staff say they aim to raise at least £2 million for Prostate Cancer UK over the course of the partnership, in order to fund up to 50 Prostate Cancer UK nurses.
Royal Mail Delivery Director, Steve McGuinness said: "We're really proud of our colleagues who have recorded this song with Joe.
"Not only does it sound great, it will also help make a real difference to Prostate Cancer UK's work in supporting men and their families affected by the disease. We encourage our local community to download the song and help us raise as much money for the charity as possible."
The Royal Mail Choir
Abide with Me is the first professional recording by the Royal Mail Choir, which formed for a TV series last year. They enjoyed the experience so much that they have continued to perform to raise money for charity.
Choir leader, Tim Barber, commented: "We've got 30 postmen, postwomen, delivery office, mail centre staff and managers singing their hearts out for charity.
"Joe's a brilliant singer and he's been enormously helpful – we're all really proud of the song and delighted Joe agreed to take part."
Working with Joe McElderry
Joe has released four albums since winning the X Factor - more than any other X factor winner - two of which have reached the top three in the album charts.
Joe and the choir recorded the single at the famous Sphere Studios, London, where the likes of Adele and the Script made their albums.
Joe said: "I was delighted to be asked to sing on this record, which will hopefully raise lots of money for Prostate Cancer UK.
"It was great recording the song with the Royal Mail Choir – they're a talented group of people, and together I think we've produced a brilliant and moving track."
Joe continued: "Royal Mail's doing a fantastic thing by supporting Prostate Cancer UK in this way. It's not the sort of thing that you'd expect a big organisation to do. I was very impressed when I heard of their plans."

Advantages and limitations of JFET
JFET Operation-pinchoff voltage-drain current
MOSFET types and Advantages
Enhancement mode MOSFET
Enhancement Mode Operating regions
Depletion Mode MOSFET
Depletion Mode MOSFET
The depletion MOSFET is similar to Enhancement type MOSFET except for the difference as mentioned before; the channel exists even for zero gate to source voltage. In order to control the conductivity of channel the gate terminal is reverse biased. The channel is depleted of charge carriers to reduce effective channel width. A depletion layer forms below the Oxide layer which is the region of uncovered charges. The drain and transfer characteristics of depletion MOSFET are similar except for the inverse effect of gate voltage on drain current. In N-type depletion mode MOSFET the control voltage Vgs is negative whereas in Enhancement type MOSFET control voltage Vgs is positive.
The circuit symbol of depletion type MOSFET is as shown in the figure (a) and (b). In fig (b) circuit symbol is simplified with as source is often shorted to body and effect of body terminal on volt ampere characteristics can be neglected. The thick shaded area represents there exists a physical channel even for zero gate bias.
In depletion mode MOSFET the saturation drain current with gate shorted to source is given by
Idss = K'n * W * (Vt2/2) *L
Where W = is the lateral width of oxide layer
L = is the effective length of oxide layer
Vt = is threshold voltage
K'n = is Transconductance of the device given by K'n= µn * Cox
µn is the mobility of electrons
Cox is the capacitance of oxide layer per unit area of oxide layer given by Cox = εox / tox

Reduce Wedding Stress - Hire these guys!Reviewed on 5/26/2014 Jen H
After getting frustrated with other caterers that wouldn't return our calls or refused to meet us, we finally met Chad, the owner of Dash & a Handful. He invited us to his studio kitchen where he cooked up several sample items for us to taste. We were impressed with the... Read More facility, the quality of the food and Chad's professional appearance and demeanor. From the beginning, Chad made every effort to communicate clearly, follow up and take initiative. Not only did he accommodate all our special requests for the Reception menu, but we ended up hiring him to cater the Rehearsal Dinner as well. He even handled with my indecisive parents with grace and care even though they kept bothering him with menu changes and questions. And the food was just amazing. No, it was AMAZING! We did both dinners family style and everything was brought out just perfect. If you want your guests to talk about how good the food was at your wedding, hire Chad. We chose the Tuscan menu for the Rehearsal dinner and the California Grill for the Reception and there are other pre-arranged menus to make it easy. Chad also welcomed alterations to suit the diets of our guests and was very careful about taking care of my 5-year old nephew who has a host of allergies. The staff were extremely professional, courteous and dressed in uniform. I took note how all of them went above and beyond just cooking and serving too. They made all the right efforts make our wedding really pop. They moved furniture, filled ice chests, arranged table settings and just took care of everything so that we didn't have to. True pro's here. Finally, I must add that Chad has ALL the right connections. If you're planning any event in the Palm Springs area, just trust him for all the extras. He set us up with the furniture rentals, a giant freezer for our ice, misters, bartenders, even a shuttle driver - he was there for us at every turn. If you want less stress to plan your wedding, just trust Chad because the results will be top notch.
Amazing Catering Service!Reviewed on 5/20/2014 Barbara L
I know people often say brides don't have time to eat at their wedding, but the food at my wedding was so unbelievable, I made time. Countless guests came up to me to tell me that we served the best wedding food they'd ever had, hands down. This is particularly amazing since I... Read More am a major foodie and a dietitian and so many of my guests have different dietary restrictions and food allergies. So the fact that Chad really listened to us with what we wanted food-wise, and did it within our budget was awesome. Most importantly though, Chad is kind, calm, and an all around wonderful person. Hiring Dash and a Handful is like hiring an extra wedding planner; Chad went out of his way to help me with ordering rentals, alcohol, and even making sure we had a giant loaf of challah on our big day. Whenever my mother and I would get stressed planning, we'd say, "At least we have Chad." Nobody can control what happens on your wedding day, but I can honestly say, the one thing I had no stress about was the food. Thank you so much Chad for being such an amazing part of our wedding! :)

text: Hi all, I have been lingering around the lv forum for a while as I ran into it one day when I googled "25 vs 30 speedy" and ever since then, i've been on here trying to figure out which size speedy I want (based on the photos posted). Well, my birthday is in a few days and guess what I received as an early birthday present from my sister? The speedy 30!!! The only problem is, I've never carried an LV purse before, and I'm not too sure what to expect. I have no idea where she purchased the bag (and i'm not too sure if she knows her LVs enough to determine whether the speedy she purchased is authentic or not). I love the bag, but I really can't carry it unless I know for sure it's authentic. So basically, I need some help with determining authentification..because i thought it was strange that there were only two tags that came with the purse: one that is white and says SPEEDY 30 and below the "speedy 30" has a barcode; the other tag is an off-white color that says Louis vuitton, Coated fabric...cowhide leather trim. For those of you that have purchased a speedy from the LV boutique, what did you receive with your bag? Please add any other information (that I should look for) that is vital to the authenticity of my speedy, please. Here are some photos (I think, if i post it correctly ush: As I was pulling the tab that had the "30" behind it, i noticed there is a small hole under it..where it attaches the tab to the canvas, is this normal?? And, I just realized that on the side view picture of my speedy, the piping seems..uneven..is this normal too?? Thanks so much for the help!!!

I usually cut this recipe in half and it is more than enough icing for cupcakes.
- Yield
- 24 cupcakes
- 1 lb. cream cheese, soft
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, soft
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 lb. confectioner's sugar
- In large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together until completely smooth and butter is incorporated. You should not see any butter lumps. Add the confectioner's sugar and beat on low speed until the sugar is just incorporated, then increase the speed to medium, then high and mix until light and fluffy. Icing should stand on it's own.

Weirdly Shaped Vegetables And Fruits
Every year there are millions of gardens grown around the world with many, many types of vegetables. Most are the common variety and turn out just like the gardener intended but sometimes in rare cases the veggies take one very unusual shapes and come to look like something other than veggies. This article is to highlight the most unusual I have come across. Check some of them out.
One such veggie is the Kitty tomato to the right. How it came to resemble a kitty with point ears (or the devil depending on opinion) we'll never know, but one thing is for certain it is rather amazing. Now all it needs to do it start meowing! Besides the kitty tomato check out the eggplant with the big nose below. If only it had a pair of eyes and a mouth it could be a rather silly cartoon character. the green leafy part at the top almost makes it look like the eggplant has hair as well.
Below you can see other amazing examples. In the cases below the shapes were made intentionally. Placing plastic molds over the pears causes then to grow into the shape of the molds and thus makes man pears!
To the right is what I'd think looks like a spaceman. I can only imagine the face of the grower when he pulled this carrot out of the ground. He looks like he's on a conquest of the universe just emerging from the spaceship and ready to take over. Either way it is certainly an amazing example of what nature can come up with if given the chance.
Below you can see two carrots entwined. whether they got stuck with each other or were fighting over the same soft soil but they are something of a sight to see. Take a gander below and find many more examples of veggies taking on other interesting forms.
this is one of the more cute one. A potato teddy bear! Doubtful that you would want to fall asleep nuzzled against it however. He may not be invited to the teddy bear picnic but he may eventually become a snack at one!
This one reminds me of a witches face. The green plant matter atop like crazy hair, beady eyes, a long point noise and evil mouth. If you look closely with all the bumps and such maybe you will actually see a classic wart on it's nose. You can almost hear it saying, "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!"
Hope you enjoyed our little gallery of unusual veggies and fruits. We may update the article from time to time if we come across other amazing examples so check back every so often.
If you want to forward this article to others I encourage it. Use the facebook, twitter or Google+1, link at the top of the page or click the share button at the bottom of the page for other social networks. Someone else you know may find this of interest.
lmao I needed this today. Gave me a good laugh. What type of veggie/fruit is the witch? Just curious. Loved this, voted up and shared! I'm going to have to pay more attention to my veggies and fruit shapes!
Loved this one! The carrots in love is my favorite! Take care, Kelley
hahaha this is so cute. nature is really unique and creative ;)
My favorite is the spaceman followed by the carrots in love.
Great pics! But, the pearguys are the intruders on the list - they were made to look that way artificially :)
I love what nature comes up with sometimes - these are great! Thanks for sharing them!
oh good! Keep going.....
Wow amazing..... Thanks for sharing.
The shapes are quite unusual and funny. I have had some very strange lemons on my tree. Currently one that looks like a face with a long nose or it could look like...anyway it gets lots of laughs.
Wow, I love these! I eat all of these veggies, but I don't know if I would want to eat any one of these particlar ones. What will man do next? It seems as though we have so much time on our hands, for various things. (voted appropriately) Great hub !!
LOL!! Now that is some Weird Shaped Vegetables And Fruits:)
This is so much fun! Who knew that gardening could produce such surprises? Or that produce could be so surprising? :) I will share with friends who are sure to enjoy these amazing pictures.
What a delightful gallery; they almost don't look real, but they are. I have to say that carrotspaceman is my favorite, although the Jimmy Durante eggplant places a close 2nd. Great fun; thank you!
Loved this hub! Wonderful veggies. My two favorites are the adorable tomato and that witch.
I love the bunny potato one. It seems lately I've been seeing a lot of strange shaped potatoes especially. Very cool hub!
What fun photos, I love the parsnip witch!
Brillliant and voted up!
Nature's humor in it's best form. These are pretty awesome!
These pictures and your descriptions are brilliant so I have tagged as Awesome and voted up!
coool hub found some stuff like this too http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/230...
I love the kitty tomato, but I think it looks a bit devilish, too!
Really funny stuff!
Thanks for sharing.
great article and good pictures to enhance this article-good job
Love all your crazy photo's. I guess those entwined carrots love each other. Voted funny and up
Really funny! Some of them are really weird indeed. voting up! Greate hub.
Funny! Thanks for sharing.
Your hubs are always so interesting!
This is so much fun terrektwo! Thanks for sharing. Regards, snakeslane

That's all folks - Mayweather exits unbeaten after 49th win
Floyd Mayweather won his farewell fight with a rout of Andre Berto in Las Vegas that ensured the American finishes with a perfect career record of 49-0 and equals Rocky Marciano's milestone.
"It's part of boxing history," Mayweather said after a landslide points victory meant he matched the longest undefeated career in the sport, which Marciano established when he quit in 1955.
The champion added: "Records are made to be broken.
"Hopefully, we can now find the next Floyd Mayweather who can break the record. I want to be a part of it [as a promoter]."
The 38-year-old dominated much like the one-sided odds had suggested he would as he retained the WBA and WBC welterweight world crowns in the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
All three judges scored the fight heavily in the champion's favour: 120-108, 118-110, 117-111.
Mayweather put in a razor-sharp display, with his superiority reflected in the punch statistics.
He landed 232 of 410 punches, while Berto found his target with only 83 of 495.
It was typical Mayweather: hit and not be hit.
He sounded content that his career was finished, and was adamant that he would stick to his promise not to fight again. "Boxing is blood, sweat and tears," he said, having briefly sunk to his knees in victory following his 26th successful world title fight.
"Boxing is wear and tear on the body. My career is over. You got to know when to hang it up, and it's time for me to hang it up. It's official."
With 17 years of his 19-year career spent as a world champion, Mayweather has accumulated statistics and earnings that make him arguably the most successful boxer in history, with world titles won across five weight divisions from super-featherweight to light-middleweight, and overall earnings of close to $625m (€550m). His cut for his swansong fight was $32m (€28m).
"There's nothing else for me to accomplish in boxing. I made great investments, I'm financially stable. I had a great career.
"My record speaks for itself," he said.
However, here is a caveat. Officials at MGM Resorts will no doubt want Mayweather to christen the new 20,000-seat arena that it is building behind the Las Vegas Strip, which is due to open in April next year.
The stage is set for the master of publicity to accomplish what no other fighter has done and reach 50-0.
Never say never in boxing, - particularly when it comes to Mayweather.

As of now, no union dues have been taken out of my paycheck, and I haven't gotten my union card either. I spoke to a shop steward the other day, and he didn't give me any straight answer as to why my paperwork hasn't been processed yet. Can someone explain please. Thanks!

raising girls(31 Posts)
I'm chatting to an office-mate who also has two daughters, and we were wondering whether anyone can recommend a book on raising girls? I'm asking here because I want something which won't raise my feminist hackles... Any thoughts? I'm aware that the world has changed since I went through girl-hood and I'm hoping to find a good reflective book to help me think through how things might be for my two.
You do know there is an actual book called 'Raising Girls,' right?
This book. I liked it, and I think that the important thing to take from it is that the author is coming from a place of great concern about girls' mental health.
There are places where it does feel a tiny bit earth mother/father agenda-y, but I can forgive that; as with all parenting books, I just took from it what chimed with me. For example: how we speak to baby girls and boys differently from their earliest years, e.g.
To a boy toddler: 'Look at the BIG cow!'
To a girl toddler: 'Aw look at the CUTE cow!'
I wouldn't read a Steve Biddulph book if it were the last parenting book on earth. He did a web chat back in January and got a bit of a pasting if I remember correctly. Lets just say he doesn't have girls best interests at heart. And he likes to tell women how to do feminism. Always attractive.
Although they aren't specifically about raising girls but they do have interesting concepts in them are Cordelia Fine's Delusions of Gender and Pink Brain, Blue Brain by Lise Eliot (haven't read the latter but heard its good).
I would recommend the Raising Girls one, I don't know why he is disliked on here, haven't seen the backstory.
It comes from quite a feminist place, promotes some feminist notions - he's dead against gender segregated toys, for example.
It's not aimed at self identified feminist parents, more the non-political but promotes a feminist friendly way of child rearing, which I am sure we all agree is a very good model of child rearing
I am happy to see that - I think the success of his book can only be a good thing for this cohort of little girls, if only some parts chime with parents or make them examine things from a different angle.
Ah yes I remember that web chat. I always wondered why he got such a pasting. Felt bit sorry for him
Web chat
The Huffington Post article linked at the end pretty much sums up my issues with Biddulph.
Yeah, I had half a memory of the webchat pasting - that and the Amazon reviews were off-putting. My office-mate here used the word "essentialism" (but he's a theorist, so what can you do?)... I think maybe scallopsrgreat is right and what I need is Delusions of Gender (which is on my Christmas list)!
I suppose I wanted to think about what it's like to be growing up now. Is there more pressure to conform to a feminine ideal now than when I was at school? I saw a thread yesterday in which the OP was advised to wax her 7 year old DD's legs, for goodness sake! Did that stuff really happen in the '80s? How can we help our DDs face that pressure? I'm put off my Biddulph's 'girls are hard-wired to be people-pleasers' line - I'm inclined to think we train them that way. And I don't want to.
Maybe this is the place, though, and there really isn't a book. Maybe asking for a book on raising girls is part of the problem and not part of the solution. Sigh... My two are small, but the teenage years are rather on my mind after some safeguarding training I went to - I feel very aware that I never had to negotiate the digital world, for example, as a teen and I wonder if there are other things I just don't know about.
That was the one line in the book that stood out as being off to me.
But his message was we can counteract that by upbringing. Overall, i was happy with the message of the book. It's unusual to find a mainstream parenting book which borrows so heavily from feminist perspectives. Even if it gets it wrong sometimes. It's spreading the message to a wide audience and if it chimes with some people who may not otherwise have sought it out then that's a good thing.
His first duty is to the girls, (being generous) naturally he is going to draw on sensible and psychologically beneficial theories and practices.
Delusions of Gender is 1.79 in the Kindle store just now - thank you for the prompt, I've been meaning to buy it for ages.
OK Sinister maybe you've sold it to me! After all, the idea is to think about the issues, not follow the advice slavishly. I shall read with my critical head on.
Wilson Frickett thanks for letting me know about the price of 'Delusions of Gender'. I have a student writing about gender differences at the moment and this will be most helpful. I have just bought it - like you I've been meaning to read it.
Oh Wilson thanks for that, I shall get it asap at that price!
No worries
I got my Delusion of Gender for 50p in a library sell-off. I haven't checked if they replaced it with a newer copy...
Steve Biddulph - cannot stand him. I've got his Raising Boys book and had to give it away. Mothers apparently cannot bring up boys because we haven't got a penis. (I should have shredded it instead - now it's sitting somewhere else enraging someone else. ) I shudder to think what he says about girls.
<Sits back awaiting fat commission, itshowwedo>
LordCopper - what he says about that in the Girls book is that Mums and Dads roles are slightly different. No value judgement (or explanation either, tbh, afaicr) it was more of an aside.
There is a bit about privacy, saying if a girl is in (psychological) danger the privacy of her room could be suspended, he does state here that it's better if mum not dad is the one to come into a girls bedroom.
what else, from memory...
There is quite a bit about female relationships, with older girls, aunties and grans, how important they are. It is safer during the teenage years if role models are female but it's not prescriptive.
I haven't read his Raising Boys book, that's a bit harsh if he said that. <undestatement>
I don't remember too much about the book - in fact I won't be surprised if I'm actively trying to erase it from my memory - but I got the impression that he panders to gender stereotype. I want to know why a mother's role and a father's role are different if it's not according to some sort of gender stereotyping.
As far as I can remember he did say that women could not possibly understand the testosterone surges a boy goes through. I'll give him testosterone surges if he says that to my face. Are all men/women's experience identical by gender? How does one understand another? By observation, by asking questions, by having some sympathy and an open mind (and reading the Delusion of gender ), not by preconceived ideas of what boys and girls are like.
Off to pick up DC!
The main bit I remember from raising girls, from quite early on is that, according to him, boys need to know who's in charge and where they stand in the hierarchy of things where as girls are centred around relationships and need to know how they relate to other people.
After first reading that I felt stabby, and then I found myself thinking that surely those two things, essentially, are the same?
Anyway, I mistrust anything that advocates a different approach to raising the two sexes - it's akin to the whole girl or boy centred education idea IMO.
Having two DDs who are far less alike than some boy girl siblings I don't think one book fits all.
DD2 is exactly like Wo says , her whole world view is based on her and other peoples relationship to each other, she cares what other people think. She knows exactly how to get people to like her and how to make friends.
DD1 has, what might be thought of as a far more male attitude to life.
"Oh for fucks sake lets stop all this incomprehensible people stuff and get on with the job".
DD1 is 15, she's allowed to swear.
I think that blogs are doing a better job, these days, than parenting books - they seem almost outdated as soon as they are out, unnecessarily lengthy about one topic (which makes some people a bit suspicious!) and they have to pretend to have all of the answers in order to sell which makes me feel a bit cynical really. (Even though I do actually like a good "parenting book")
Delusions of Gender is fab and has definitely helped me.
There was a great blog post on MN blog of the day the other day about talking to our children about porn - Link here.
I can't remember too much about it either tbh so I probably am not doing a sterling job as defender...
There are chapters in the book about sexualisation, body image, and things like that which, for me were pretty nail on head. And particular to girls in today's world.
I dunno - it's like the conversations we have on here - what's stereotyping, and what's acknowledging a group's own particular experiences? For me the book falls into the latter category. I found it useful, and heartening. It's definitely pro feminist, and while he doesn't deny biological determinism and he doesn't emphasise it either, imo. I can live with that because the rest of the book outweighs it.
My favourite - and most used - parenting book is 'how to talk so children will listen'. I'd go as far as to say it's a lifesaver, but it's not gendered at all.
Sinister why did you think the sexualisation/body image messages were more pertinent to girls? I think the less gendered discussion about sexuality is the better (obvs with respect to girls and boys who may want to learn things in separate environments, I just don't think they necessariy need to learn separate things).
How to talk is a fantastic book. Useful in everyday life with other grown ups too.
Is it possible that women as a group has a less than positive experience in many areas because we treat girls and boys the way we do?
"How to talk" is a fantastic book. It doesn't treat boys and girls separately. It acknowledges that everyone has feelings and hopes and fears, including the grown-ups and the children. It is just good. And WoTmania it works with other grown-ups too.
Sinister I get that it's been a while since you read it but can you remember more about this bit:
"There is quite a bit about female relationships, with older girls, aunties and grans, how important they are. It is safer during the teenage years if role models are female but it's not prescriptive."
Why is it "safer" - do you remember? That sounds odd.
I also have a knee-jerk thing about the "importance" of relationships with other females but not with males - that just seems weird to me. I always think it's important to have positive relationships with a range of people! I've never felt particularly inclined to have these sort of female-bondy stuff that seems to imply. As if men and women are different animals and get succour from keeping to their own or something!
I understand it's not you who wrote it though!
Might try a google.
Buggered if I'm reading the book.
I think the reason SB gets clobbered on MN is because of raising boys and a bunch of other stuff he said, prior to raising girls.

The Reaction of Reduced-Form Coefficients to Regime Changes: The Case of Interest Rates
This study investigates whether the apparent intertemporal instability of a particular reduced-form equation (that for interest rates) can be explained by changing government policy parameters, or regimes, and otherwise stable structural parameters. We hypothesize that major fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policy parameter shifts have been important sources of that instability. Direct tests imply that reduced-form coefficients move by statistically significant and economically meaningful amounts in response to policy parameter change. Allowing for this systematic parameter variation produces greater stability in the remaining parameters. Furthermore, in-sample and out-of-sample forecasts from the proposed model out perform those from the non-responsive parameter specification.

10 Nov Metallic Dress and Black Top [Plus: Roberto Durville Shoe Review]
If you know me at all, you know that I love shoes. I always joke with my friends that I'm Carrie from Sex and the City–I can live with owning fabulous shoes but not much else, haha!
Shirt: Brooks Brothers | Top: H&M | Skirt: H&M | Bag: Mansur Gavriel | Shoes: c/o Roberto Durville
Anyway, Roberto Durville reached out to me to test out a pair of their shoes, and I happily said yes. I have to say I am super impressed by the quality of the shoes, especially for the price (almost all are <$200 I believe).
The pair I'm wearing was made in Brazil and well crafted. I wore them for about 8 hours last weekend and found them to be really comfortable, given the height of the heel. The leather wasn't stiff and I barely experienced any of the usual chaffing that happens when you're trying to break in new heels.
The only minor gripe I have is that the leather laces kept on untying themselves (even though I double knotted them!) and the dye rubbed off a little on my ankles. I do have another pair of lace up heels from Tory Burch and I have to say that I had the same thing happen with that pair, so maybe it's just a downside to this particular shoe style.

Global Energy Development Reports on 2009 Production
Global Energy Development intends to announce Final Results for the year ended December 31, 2009 on March 11, 2010. Prior to this in February 2010 the Company plans to release details of its new reserve report dated December 31, 2009 which has been produced by independent petroleum engineers. This reserve report will use a West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") price of $79.36, this being the closing price at year-end (2008: $44.60).
Production during 2009 was 398,082 barrels of oil ('bbls') net to the Company (unaudited) (2008: 438,007) as the depressed oil price curtailed most proposed activity. The Company acquired very good quality 2D and 3D seismic over its producing Colombian Rio Verde contract towards the end of 2009. This has now been interpreted and the location of the Rio Verde 2 exploratory well, to be drilled before May 2010, is being finalized this week. The rig contractor negotiations for this well are also expected to be finalized shortly. In addition, the Company is strengthening personnel in order to support the increased operational activity anticipated with near-term drilling focused on the Rio Verde contract.

Ofgem's new report on energy supplier complaint handling reveals that consumer dissatisfaction has increased. Customers are unhappy with energy firms' lack of communication and the time it takes to get problems resolved.
Gillian Guy, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice said:
"Too many people continue to face woeful customer service from their energy suppliers.
"This report reveals a catalogue of errors by suppliers - including poor communication and confusing information - that have left customers struggling to get their problems resolved.
"This dissatisfaction is reflected in Citizens Advice's latest energy complaints league table which exposed a widening gap between how the best and worst performing energy suppliers are dealing with customer's problems.
"Poor performing energy firms must learn from their mistakes and act immediately to improve their complaints handling. In the meantime if you're struggling with an energy complaint, you can get free and independent help from Citizens Advice's consumer service."

Several changes are being planned for the Australian health insurance system. These include changes to the law to enable insurers to offer discounts to those who quit smoking and get fit, similar to the PruHealth policy in the UK, and the sale of state owned insurer Medibank.
Australia has a first-class healthcare system, called Medicare, but although UK residents on tourist visas will get emergency care under a reciprocal agreement with the UK, anybody living there longer term needs their own healthcare insurance to cover significant in-patient medical costs.
If you are planning to move to Australia, there is a catch. Most Australian insurers will not accept you as a domestic customer until you have been in the country for at least a year, so you will need an international health insurance policy for that period

Type and swipe using this fast and free alternative keyboard app for Android smartphones
By Enrique Serrano
I'm obsessed with productivity and speed. I've found that my smartphone is an extremely useful tool to read my email on the go. But when I want to write a reply to an important message, I end up struggling with the tiny on-screen keyboard of my phone.
Recently, I decided to try out an alternative keyboard app for my Android smartphone. I reviewed the TouchPal app and I'm glad I did. This keyboard app really sped up my writing.
About the TouchPal keyboard app
TouchPal is an alternative keyboard app by CooTek that can be downloaded from the Android Market.
TouchPal runs on smartphones using Android version 1.5 or higher. On my htc Wildfire, the keyboard ran smoothly. I configured it to replace my default Android keyboard so I could use it whether I was writing text messages, emails or website addresses.
TouchPal is still in beta version, but I found the current build quite stable. The keyboard app is offered free for early adopters with full lifetime functionality — but the offer only lasts until Oct. 31.
Slide on the screen of your phone instead of tapping your keyboard
The most effective way to type using TouchPal is by using TouchPal Curve. Users slide their fingers on the keyboard to type instead of tapping each on-screen key.
Sliding instead of tapping is a subtle difference but the sliding technique is much faster. You don't need to lift your finger from the screen. You don't need to slide twice across consecutively repeated letters. And this is probably the most important advantage: you don't need to be precise. Swiping near the target key of your on-screen keyboard will suffice.
The developers of TouchPal claim that it is even possible to write without looking at your keyboard. I'm not that kind of power-user but I have to admit that the learning curve of this "writing by swiping" system is fast. I suggest sliding your finger quickly through the keyboard, without worrying about the results. You will be surprised by the keyboard app's accuracy.
TouchPal allows you to write special characters by sliding down a key, or by holding a key press. Nevertheless, if you activate the TouchPal Curve system to write by swiping, only the last row will have selectable special characters. To open up the expanded character menu, press the bottom-right smiley icon.
Quickly editing and correcting your texts
TouchPal suggests words after you slide your finger across the keyboard. Tap a suggested word and it will be inserted into the text or just slide again and the suggested word will be automatically accepted.
If the desired word doesn't appear, double-tap one of the word choices. All of the possible word choices recognized by the app will appear. Tap the right arrow and more suggestions will be displayed.
Anyone who has edited text while using a smartphone knows how difficult it is to accurately position the cursor. With TouchPal, press the central text Edit button (surrounded by the options button on the left, and the button to access the Android voice input features on the right) to access precise cursors and quick text selection features.
Multi-language support integrated on the Android keyboard
I usually need to write emails in different languages but switching the autocompletion language on the default keyboard of an Android smartphone is a slow process. You need to find and change the appropriate option on the related phone menu.
Nevertheless, the TouchPal keyboard provides great multi-language support features. Click the bottom-left language icon for quick language switching on the Android keyboard without leaving your text input screen. And you can even define a primary and a secondary language to recognize both simultaneously while writing on your keyboard. However, the swipe recognition features tend to focus on the primary language.
This keyboard app is still under development and support for additional languages will be added in the future. I tested the keyboard in English and Spanish and the results were satisfactory.
An Android keyboard that predicts, completes, corrects and learns from your keystrokes
At a Glance: TouchPal Keyboard App
- Works on Android smartphones with Android 1.5 or higher
- Sliding is much faster than tapping – up to 50 percent faster
- Auto-correction of inaccurate keystrokes
- Text prediction and auto-completion with adaptive learning
- Multi-language support with fast language switching
Another time-saving feature on TouchPal is the text prediction function. Once you write a word, TouchPal will promptly suggest possible words that might follow. Tap your chosen word to immediately insert it.
If you want to write a long word, you don't need to slide your finger through all letters: stop in the middle of writing and TouchPal will predict and auto-complete the text. According to app's developers, this is one of the main TouchPal advantages.
TouchPal does not only have advanced auto-completion and text prediction features, but it is also able to learn words in a context-sensitive way, suggesting related words that are usually written together.
Writing by tapping is also improved in this keyboard
It is also worth mentioning that even if you don't like to write by swiping and prefer to tap, the TouchPal keyboard will also speed up your writing. There are good reasons to tap-write while using TouchPal:
- Tapping is more accurate than sliding the first time that you write an unrecognized word.
- The auto-completion and next word suggestion features save many keystrokes.
- You don't need to hit the right key precisely as TouchPal guesses the desired target key relying on the nearby candidates.
Conclusions about the TouchPal keyboard app
The developer of TouchPal claims that the keyboard app can speed up your writing a 50 percent. Personally, I found the statement was accurate using both the sliding and tapping methods. Of course, nothing replaces my desktop computer's big keyboard but the TouchPal keyboard has helped me write faster on my smartphone, turning it into the time-saving tool I expected.
After a few weeks of testing this alternative keyboard, I don't think I could go back to my default Android keyboard. If you are reading this before Oct. 31, take advantage of the limited time offer and download the TouchPal keyboard from the Android Market for free. And if you're late for that deal, consider the small expense a good investment: the productivity boost that this keyboard app provides will quickly pay for itself.

'Pretty Little Liars' The Show vs. The PLL Book Series
While Sara Shepard's books, the 'Pretty Little Lairs' series, was both jaw dropping, filled with details, and a very suspenseful book, the TV show lacked to incorporate many of the key details the books did.
For instance, one of the main characters Emily, is a strawberry blond competitive swimmer, and therefore has a tint of green in her hair. However in the TV show, the creators put Emily as a dark brunette, obviously lacking the signature green tint.
Another point worth motioning, is another main character, Spencer's, hair color, and appearance. Spencer was made in the book to have long blond hair, just like her best friend Alison ( who was murdered in this series). It is known if you read the books, that Spencer and Alison shared a lot of physical traits, and they always had a competition for who had more boyfriends, who was a better sports player, etc. However in the show, the creators showed Spencer as a again a dark brunette who appeared to look a lot more serious than she sounded in the book. Also she looked a lot like her sister Melissa. If you did not read the books, but just saw the show you are most likely thinking that sisters should look alike. You are right but Spencer is not Melissa's true sister. In one the books Spencer goes through a whole crisis where she finds her real mother, and then sees why it is she doesn't look like the rest of her family. This little key detail of her hair color leads into a big part in the story.
It is little key details like these that lead me to say that the creators of the Pretty Little Liars TV show did not do a very nice job of recreating the characters to the best of their ability. However, they did do a great job in recreating the settings that this story takes place. It will be interesting where the TV show goes from here.

Pump Up the Adrenaline in Area 47
When we were in Aqua Dome during our recent blog trip, we were truly sorry that we forgot to bring any swimwear. In Area 47, this became a handy excuse so as not to have to try out some tricks to land on the pool from a sliding platform at least 10 meters long.
This video was produced by Easy Hiker Jr. from clips we took on our visit there.
As part of our blog trip sponsored by the Austrian Tourism Board, we were brought to visit Soelden's noteworthy places.
