Elinor and MarianneDecember 1st, 2009
While working on lyrics for the song "The Pleasantness of an Employment" where Marianne and Elinor are arguing, I wrote down some thoughts about the nature of the sisters' ongoing argument.
As I see it, the substance of their debate is how we are to treat other people, and how we are to view ourselves. Insofar as their answers concern compassion and respect for other people, then their debate is a moral one. But notably, certain areas of morality do not enter into the dialogue. Marianne and Elinor would hardly disagree over how to characterize Willoughby's treatment of Miss Williams, or the latter's fall from grace. All the characters in Sense and Sensibility take for granted the immorality of that sort of behavior. (There is no equivalent in S&S of Mansfield Park's Mary Crawford, who calls sexual mores into question.) No, their disagreement arises in the grayer arena of what Marianne calls "every commonplace idea of decorum." To what degree is it acceptable or desirable to flaunt society's arbitrary conventions?
The answers given by each sister reveal not only how they view others, but how they view themselves. Elinor knows that adhering to rules of etiquette, arbitrary though they may be, is one of the main ways of conveying respect for others in daily life. Thus she is ever careful of others' feelings, whether or not the other party deserves it. Elinor puts up with clueless Sir John and motormouth Mrs. Jennings out of gratitude for their help and patronage, but she also humors such buffoons as Fanny and John, Lady Middleton, Robert Ferrars, etc., those who are less clearly deserving of her kindness. This shows Elinor's regard for the personhood of others, whatever their talents and resources, and however much she may dislike them. But Elinor has equal regard for her own personhood, which she demonstrates in refusing to share her mind with those she knows are incapable of appreciating it. Thus she blandly approves Robert Ferrars's ridiculous speech about cottages, knowing it is not worthy of "rational opposition." In this case she not only recognizes the high quality of her own mind, but even shows compassion for Robert Ferrars in withholding it, since she knows he is ill-equipped to engage her in a battle of wits!
Elinor also knows the practical value of functioning inside these societal norms. They can be a means to an end, such as when she acheives a desired tête-à-tête with Lucy through her slightly ingratiating addresses to Lady Middleton.
The downside to Elinor's outlook is that in her concern for others, she neglects herself. Rather than telling her mother and sister about Lucy's engagement to Edward, which could have lessened the emotional demands on her by allowing others to help shoulder her burdens, Elinor opts for four months of mental anguish. Of course, above all, she must keep her word to Lucy, and her faithfulness is one of her sterling traits. But I wonder if the words she used to make that vow, "your secret is safe with me," might not be open to interpretive variations great enough to allow her to ease her own mind. Surely the secret would be equally safe with Mrs. Dashwood, if not with Marianne? Elinor readily chooses the prison of her own thoughts and feelings, focusing instead on comforting Marianne in her grief over losing Willoughby. Ironically, it is through the withholding of her own problems that Elinor fails to help Marianne. For of what could Marianne have greater need, than to forego her intense narcissism and instead exercise compassion for another? By staying silent, Elinor denies Marianne a much-needed chance to emerge from her self-piteous mire; and any comfort Elinor offers her only keeps Marianne stuck in egotism. The supercharged moment when the sisters finally discuss the truth, and Marianne offers compassion to a receptive Elinor, could have been happening all along in a less explosive fashion, to the benefit of both sisters, but for Elinor's emotional distance.
When Marianne questions how Elinor could have borne the secret alone for so long, Elinor protests that she had plenty of resources for her own comfort without needing to ask for help. Such a response is consistent with Elinor's upbringing. Jane Austen states that with a loving but childish mother, Elinor was cast in a role of responsibility from an early age. I further conjecture that Mrs. Dashwood subconsciously abrogated her role as mother, training her daughter to take responsibility to an unreasonable degree for a child. And Elinor's natural hardiness and intelligence were in harmony with that role, which brought her much affirmation, and from which she derived a great sense of personal significance. Consequently, it is very difficult for Elinor to appear needy and vulnerable before others. It is unfamiliar and hence frightening territory for her, and no doubt her pride keeps her from admitting her weakness. This is a pride she shares with Marianne, although they differ in their outward expression of it. Unlike Elinor, in the Dashwood family system Marianne has been protected from having to make responsible decisions, and suffers instead from overindulgence. Unfortunately for Marianne, Elinor's role of responsibility has not carried with it the full authority of a mother; and so Elinor is not really capable of providing the model that Marianne needs, a model of tempering her openness of expression with true concern for others. Elinor can only remonstrate with her sister and hope for the best. With such similarities of temperament, Mrs. Dashwood could have been a more apt guide for Marianne in governing her passions; but she herself has far to travel on that journey, and she seems reluctant even to set out on it.
The debate between Marianne and Elinor is about more than how to behave in the drawing room after dinner, or how high one can acceptably raise society's eyebrows. It raises deeper questions of the motives for our behavior, since how we treat others reflects our view of ourselves. Is Marianne's self-centeredness a simple question of pride, or is it a failure to recognize her own personhood and to treat herself with the respect it demands, drawing the inference that others ought to be treated in the same way? She does, after all, starve herself into a serious illness, which would not be a kind thing to do to someone else. "Love thy neighbor as thyself" presupposes that we do, indeed, love ourselves. Similarly, what are we to make of Elinor's minute concern for others' feelings while she suffers a four-month emotional martyrdom? What would it look like if she treated herself with the same kindness she extends to others?
I don't know if Jane Austen was thinking about all these issues when she wrote S&S, but I can't help wondering about them as I read it.

The government park of the Republic of Italy was replenished with a leader of Airbus A340-500 who is intended for visits of the prime minister of the country Matteo Renzi. The I-TALY aircraft which will operate Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force) has been acquired in the secondary market and after almost semi-annual customization is ready to performance of runs. Earlier the liner of 2006 was operated by the Etihad Airways company.
Now the Aeronautica Militare park consists of three Airbus A319-115(CJ) aircrafts, five Falcon 900, two Falcon 50, two AW139, four ATR P-72A MPA (72-212A) and four Boeing 767-2EY(ER). For transportation of members of the government only Airbus A319-115(CJ), 2000, 2003 and 2006, 36-48 passengers designed for transportation, and also Falcon 900 (16 places), Falcon 50 (9 places) and AW139 were used until recently (to 11 places).
Airbus A340-500 airplane cost taking into account modernization of salon has made about 200 million euros. It is remarkable that at official visits of Matteo Renzi was used until recently by the Airbus A330 airplane of Alitalia national airlines.
The main otlichitelnost of the Airbus A340-500 liner is range of non-stop flight which makes nearly 16500 km. The former owner of the airplane – Etihad Airways – carried out on it "business runs", including nonstop from Abu Dhabi to Tokyo and Melbourne.
We will remind that Airbus Corporate Jets in response to growth of interest in widebody corporate airplanes has developed a new passenger cab of Gala for A330 and A340. In this development the company plans to establish a bedroom, the working area and a conference room on the basis of ready blocks. It allows to reduce both expenses on re-equipment of the airplane, and terms of works. Time of all works on installation of an interior Gala makes 18 months which 6 months will leave on design and 12 months on installation of equipment.

Hadn't everything important already been written about the great scientist Albert Einstein and his life? What fresh light could I possibly shed on the iconic man and those lives intertwined with his? These were the questions that plagued me as I dug into the research for my book, The Other Einstein.
My novel shares the story of Mileva Maric, Albert Einstein's first wife, a physicist herself who made a meteoric climb from backwater Eastern Europe, where women could not even attend high school, to become one of the few female physics students at a European university. The sheer volume of books and research materials about Albert Einstein intimidated me at first—surely, I thought, Mileva's life had been covered exhaustively—until I realized that, comparatively, very little of this wealth of information concerned Mileva. The perspective of the woman who attended university with Albert Einstein, became his lover, his wife and the mother of his only children, and sat across the dinner table from him night after night during his "miracle year" of 1905—when Einstein published four of his most groundbreaking ideas that led to the creation of modern physics, while working full-time in a patent office—did not factor prominently in those pages. I found this curious. And strangely promising for my novel.
Even those aspects of Albert's life that dovetailed Mileva's seemed to be little known and under-explored. To me, the most astonishing was the birth of Albert and Mileva's illegitimate child, Lieserl. Mileva's pregnancy during her final exams at university and the subsequent birth of their child were unknown until a cache of letters between Albert and Mileva referencing Lieserl was discovered in the 1980s. While the ultimate fate of their daughter has never been discovered, and knowledge about Lieserl has remained oddly quiet, even lesser understood has been the impact that Lieserl's birth had on Mileva. Profoundly ill from the pregnancy, possibly due, in part, to the hip deformity that Mileva suffered, she failed her final exams. Without a degree and burdened with an illegitimate child, Mileva could not achieve her longtime goal of becoming a physicist, and her scientific ambitions could only be pursued through Albert.
While the scantness of information on Mileva made research for the novel a challenge, the somewhat uncharted landscape of Mileva's life with Albert made it an intriguing backdrop for a novel. As one example, some research suggested that Albert never travelled to Serbia where Mileva lived with Lieserl in her family's summer home before their marriage. This sparked a depiction of the pain Mileva might have suffered when Albert failed to met his two-year-old daughter before she succumbed to scarlet fever and passed out of their lives in a mysterious fashion. Fiction and logic allowed me to fill in the gaps in Mileva's life left by the research.
But the deeper into the life of Mileva Maric I journeyed, the more I realized that writing her story was more interesting than uncovering previously unknown facts about Albert Einstein. Mileva was a brilliant woman in her own right, who had made a singular ascent from backwater Serbia to the heights of the physics university classrooms of Europe, and her tale deserved to be told. Even though shedding fresh light on the iconic Albert Einstein was not my focus, in creating the story of Mileva Maric in The Other Einstein, I would necessarily be sharing a different perspective on the famous scientist, albeit a fictional one.
MARIE BENEDICT is a lawyer and graduate of Boston College with a focus in History and Art History, and a graduate of the Boston University School of Law. While practicing as a lawyer, Marie dreamed of a fantastical job unearthing the hidden historical stories of women —and finally found it when she tried her hand at writing. She embarked on a new, narratively connected series of historical novels with The Other Einstein, which tells the tale of Albert Einstein's first wife, a physicist herself, and the role she might have played in his theories. Writing as Heather Terrell, Marie also published the historical novels The Chrysalis, The Map Thief, and Brigid of Kildare.

The hubris of this man knows no boundaries…
"It is not at all clear that accommodative policies in advanced economies impose net costs on emerging market economies," Bernanke said today in prepared remarks for a seminar in Tokyo on the last day of International Monetary Fund annual meetings.
Christine Lagarde, on the other hand, said:
…. such easing is likely to cause large and volatile flows that risk leading to "overheating, asset-price bubbles and the build-up of financial imbalances" in emerging economies, even as she applauded Fed efforts to boost growth.
But she thinks he should do it anyway.
Of course the empirical evidence is that such "easy money" policies do indeed cause serious structural imbalances and do destabilize these nations. You need only look at the price of food in these developing economies to find a perfect example.
Note carefully that food is a relatively-minor part of your budget, unless you're quite poor in America. This is a core characteristic of developed economies; they tend to have quite-high per-capita GDP and as a percentage of personal income food and energy expenses are relatively small. Food, for example, carries a 14.2% weighting in our CPI — that is, it is assumed that you spend about 14% of your income in food. Energy has a roughly 10% weighting in the CPI, and housing has a 31.5% weighting.
Add this all up and you find that approximately 56% of your spending is non-discretionary; that is, you must spend it in some form or fashion to remain alive.
Note that this is for the median household; these percentages do not hold for people at the low or high end of the economic ladder. For the poor, they spend much more comparatively, and for the wealthy, much less.
We're pretty much right up the middle in this regard when it comes to developed nations — the average is about 16%. However, middle income nations spend 35% of their PCE on food and developing countries spend 55%!
Now consider this — what happens if the cost of food doubles in a developing nation?
That's simple: The people starve, since you cannot spend more than 100% of anything.
And what is most-sensitive to loose monetary policy? The cost of things that have hard limits on their production because they're tangible. Food. Energy. Housing.
Indeed, Bernanke's claim is that he wants to "support housing prices."
And you might think that this is a "good thing" for America, but you'd be wrong. A significant part of America pays 50% or more of their income toward housing costs — where economists draw the line for being "severely-burdened." I think they're being rather glib in this assessment, for someone who is in that situation is probably also paying 20% or more for both food and energy expenses, leaving them dangerously close to being unable to cover the combined bill.
But while food, energy and housing may go up in our country due to loose monetary policy, in the developing world where they must import a good part of their energy and food they go up even more. Not only do you get the inflationary impact that's local, you also get all of the inflationary impact that comes with a trade imbalance.
Wait — trade imbalance? How is that connected?
Let's take two nations, both with floating, non-manipulated fiat currencies. One runs a trade imbalance with the other. Capital from the deficit nation therefore flows to the surplus one in payment for the goods and services flowing the other way. This causes the deficit nation's currency to become weaker because its capital is drained, while the surplus nation's currency becomes stronger, as it gains capital. That, in turn, causes the relative price of the exported goods from the surplus nation to rise and the trade imbalance is automatically cut off.
Nobody has to do anything manipulative for this to take place. Indeed, unless someone manipulates currencies or trade policies this happens immediately and automatically. It is as simple as arithmetic.
So why hasn't it happened with the United States and China, for example?
It is precisely because both China and the United States fraudulently manipulate their currencies via both central bank and fiscal policy that this imbalance has been maintained. By emitting credit via deficit spending into the economy the United States intentionally replaces the drained capital with credit money, which spends exactly the same.
Keep this clearly in mind folks: Bernanke's QE would be literally impossible without Federal deficit spending as there would be no net bond issuance to buy! When you hear Bernanke talking about wanting to see deficits shrink he is lying as it is mathematically impossible for him to engage in his policies without them.
And the Chinese, for their part, recycle the imported capital, lock it up (via "purchasing" Treasury bonds) and engage in crazy GDP-manipulating acts (like building cities where nobody lives.)
The trade imbalance we have with China could not exist over any material period of time but for these intentional manipulations.
But the rest of the world has no meaningful way to play this game. They are forced to sit and spin, so to speak, and deal with the impact of grossly inflated credit and money metrics in our economy should they need to buy anything that we produce. And they do — they need to buy food, which we have a net surplus of and they have a net deficit!
This, my friends, is how Bernanke literally starves the world. We are 330 million people, more or less. We play financialization games and abuse our position as a global reserve currency to force others to subsidize us with their lives.
Does this destabilize developing nations? You bet it does. Hungry bellies breed riots.
They always have and always will; well-sated people have little reason to revolt. Hungry people have 1,001 reasons, starting with the growl in their stomach.
Behind a huge percentage of those hungry bellies is both Ben Bernanke and our Congress.

Skip to comments.'Celebrity Apprentice' Alum: Omarosa's Mom Just Punched Me (BET awards)
Posted on 07/01/2013 6:45:29 AM PDT by RummyChick
'Celebrity Apprentice' alum Claudia Jordan says Omarosa's mother assaulted her moments ago at the BET Awards ... and claims she has filed a police report, TMZ has learned.
We're told the alleged attack went down at L.A. Live while Claudia was walking the red carpet.
Our sources at the awards show say, Claudia and Omarosa got into a heated verbal exchange -- after Omarosa allegedly called Claudia a "stupid b***h."
The verbal blows didn't stop ... so we're told when Omarosa's mom overheard it ... she walked by and punched Claudia in the arm. We're told event security then rushed in to break the women up and prevented the incident from escalating further.
Claudia then tweeted, "Wow, that awkward moment when you're assaulted on the red carpet."
But Omarosa tells TMZ ... Claudia started it by pushing her 65-year-old mother. And Omarosa says her mom filed her own police report for assault against Claudia. She says, I am deeply saddened by Claudia Jordan actions at the BET Awards. After all that my family and I been through this year. She should show at least an ounce of decency and respect
FYI -- Claudia and Omarosa were on "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice" together ... and have been known to bash each other in the media.
Specifically Omarosa claims Claudia took pics at Michael Clarke Duncan's funeral (Omarosa's former fiance) which pissed her off. Claudia, in turn, ripped Omarosa, saying she was using the funeral as a press opportunity.
Happy BET Awards everyone.
Btw, is Omarosa still suing Latoya Jackson over her comments...she got off some snarky comments about Omarosa.
It doesn't sadden me in the least to admit I don't recognize one single name in that story.
bet awards? Do they pass out awards for promoting gangsta lifestyles? For endlessly using the "n" word between friends but then turning lack a pack of rabid wild dogs should someone outside the fraternity dare to use it? Was there a training class on how to hold your weapon sideways to look cooler? Did they hold a moment of silence for st.tryavon? Was there possibly a star host from Sanford who recently appeared on the gz vs. tm fiasco, er trial? Maybe I can catch the rerun so I can get a glimpse of amorossa or whatever. Just another abw like moochie at the w.h.
you can take the pig out of the barn, but you cant take the barn out of the pig
I like it better when they sit around and fling feces at each other and make funny faces. It's usually between the Big Cat cages and the elephant exhibits.
A: They all appeared on "Celebrity Apprentice" and did quite well. (Rivers even won her year)
I watch Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice without fail. It's a wonderful guilty pleasure to observe what depths of depravity has-beens will go to in order to not fade away for a little while longer.
I'm pretty sure Laz would hit it, too.
Pot, meet kettle.
Really nasty piece of work, that one. Thoroughly unpleasant person.
Omarosa's fake crying starts at 13:20
I laughed and laughed at Latoya when she made the comments like the one where Omarosa probably gave Clarke the heart attack.
Knowing Omarosa, I'm sure she and her mother are at fault. Oma is self-important trash. Fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
Omarosa is a never-was.
Omarosa, another example of why women with hyphens in their last name are to be avoided at all costs.
I don't like Piers Morgan but he had it in for Omarosa and was constantly calling her on her non celebrity status.
Even Dennis Rodman called her on it AND her fake crying.
Interesting how her engagement was SECRET and didnt come out until Duncan died.
and here is Omarosa POSING in the elevator after she was fired
She is a piece of work.

When woman stops wanting sex in the marriage, does she also stop being physically affectionate at the same time that she stops wanting sex?
- YesVote A
- NoVote B
When woman stops wanting sex in the marriage, does she also stop being physically affectionate at the same time that she stops wanting sex?
Have an opinion?
I would assume that if a person stops wanting sex with another they would stop creating environments where the other would hope for sex.
Barring any real physical handicap, when any women, including wives, no longer want to have sex it's a real huge red flag. Women are only intimate with someone they like or love. Most women will not have sex with someone they can't stand. This doesn't happen over night. Women have to build up resentment to get there. It usually builds up slowly with her not being as affectionate as she once was. Slowly it progresses to the "don't touch me" phase and finally no sex at all.
The guy usually never sees this coming and is always left wondering what went wrong. He will never find the answer because the woman doesn't know either although the symptoms of a dying relationship are obviously there.
To answer your question, this downward spiral begins with the loss of affection and ends with no more sex. At this point, the guy's best option is to leave, but most men can't. They will stay in a sexless marriage until she leaves. Many times, the woman remains to make the man's life a living hell.
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

Last term, as part of our involvement in the Lambeth Teaching Alliance, we ran a series of sessions for a group of PGCE students from the Institute of Education one of which focused on the benefits of Twitter and personal learning networks (PLNs). To prepare, I automatically turned to the CLC's PLN asking if anyone had any examples. As usual, our followers came up trumps and Oliver Quinlan (lead tutor in the school of education from the University of Plymouth) immediately responded with a link to a film of one of his BEd students talking about his use of twitter.
As my warm up activity had also been lifted from a twitter posting I felt that I was really showcasing practice in action. The sessions went well and I hope that many could see the potential of twitter as both a support network and a platform for sharing ideas.
For those who are regular users, many articles on the benefits of social media for educators, pass by our eyes most days. It's preaching to the converted. Those who 'get it' can be very evangelical in their passion for the platform but to others who have not joined the social media movement, this passion can be a little off putting.
In addition to our session for PGCE students, we've run several other courses over the last few months on the benefits of twitter for learning, sharing, discussing and exchanging. At our recent Aspiring Leaders conference on a chilly Saturday in November, headteacher Neil Hopkins told the gathered group of assistant and deputy headteachers that if we weren't learning, if we weren't constantly seeking to improve our practice and acquire new ideas then we just weren't good enough. His words were a little stronger and the message was clear. To the twitter sceptics, it is sometimes hard to make the case that a tool, often used for dissemination of salacious gossip, could possibly have more serious application. But there is no better case for giving Twitter a try than to learn and feel inspired by others.
Adam, a class teacher from Bonneville Primary, is a keen advocate of twitter for his professional development:
For the CLC team, twitter is our window on the world. In the current climate there is neither time nor money to attend events but with the click of a button you can follow conferences and training via hashtags, you can ask experts, you can share ideas with your peers.
'But it's too overwhelming', I hear you say, 'How do you cope with all of the stuff that passes you by' Easy – Evernote (http://evernote.com). This free application allows you to curate content through a system of tagging. It doesn't even need to pass through your brain. By labelling and storing you can then forgot about it until you have need. My Evernote has many folders, from iPads and Programming to Social Media and Family Learning. I have hundreds of articles and notes which were sourced on twitter and can then be referred to when needed. So, our advice is don't hang back. Check out some of our tweeting schools or follow a couple of Lambeth teachers. Make it your new year's resolution to at least give it try..
Start by following a few Lambeth schools/settings:

Is it a bug of Flunet?
Dear all, I have compiled a UDF for the inlet velocity. After compiling it and setting it as inlet boundary condition, the Fluent can get exact inlet flow waveform I prefer. However, if I want to decrease the inlet velocity to 50% of the previous one and change the corresponding factors in the UDF before compiling and recalculating, The Fluent still get the same flow rate as the previous one. The inlet velocity does not decrease 50% as I expected.
So is it the bug of FLUENT? (I thought my UDF shall not be wrong for I only change the resultant velocity to multiply 0.5)
I do need your help! Thanks a lot!
Re: Is it a bug of Flunet?
hi may,
Try to read again your case after compiling.
good luck.
Re: Is it a bug of Flunet?
Hi, Mr./Ms. Chen,
Thanks for your kindly suggestion! I will try it and let you know the results soon. Best Regards,
Thanks a lot! It is sloved.
Dear Ms./Mr. Chen, Thanks a lot! The problem is solved.

Indian-born Mahender Murlidhar Sabhnani, 51, and his wife, Varsha Mahender Sabhnani, 45, could face up to 40 years in prison. They were found guilty on 12 charges, which included involuntary servitude, harbouring aliens and forced labour. The couple's lawyer said he would appeal against the verdict. The wealthy couple, who run a perfume business and have four children, had brought the women to their large house to work as housekeepers, and forced them to work up to 18 hours per day. The couple were arrested after one of the women was found wandering the streets dressed in only trousers and a towel. Regular beatings Prosecutors described the case as "modern-day slavery". They described how the two Indonesian women had been punished for misbehaviour such as sleeping late and stealing food from the dustbin to supplement their meagre meals. Varsha Sabhnani and her husband had pleaded not guilty The women said they had been beaten with brooms and umbrellas, slashed with knives, made to take freezing showers and climb stairs repeatedly. One said she had been forced to eat several hot chillies and then her own vomit. "Apparently, the jury was taken by the histrionics (of the Indonesian women)," defence lawyer Jeffrey Hoffmann told AP. Lawyers for the accused had argued that the housekeepers practiced witchcraft and may have abused themselves. They had said the couple spent a lot of time abroad and that the two Indonesian women would have been free to leave whenever they wanted. The pair were described as "model citizens" who wanted only to clear their names. The women, identified as Nona and Samirah, arrived in the US legally in 2002 but had their passports confiscated by the Sabhnanis, officials said. Their visas have since expired.

The strange case of the vanishing jobs – Part 1
Posted on | September 14, 2011 | No Comments
Point: You don't know what jobs will still exist in the future
My father trained to be a coach and wagon builder for the Australian railways. He built and repaired wooden railway cars.
As you can probably guess, that was a long long time ago. He worked for the railways in Australia and New Zealand for most of his life but well before he retired he was not working on wooden wagons anymore. By then most wagons were made of metal. The job he had trained to do had disappeared.
It took over 30 years for Dad's job to disappear. These days it takes a much shorter time. When I started work, each company and government department had a typist or a typing pool. These were women (not many men were typists) who would take your handwritten letters and reports and type them up neatly and without mistakes.
Now typists do not exist. They have been replaced by computers and the internet.
What happened to my job?
There are dozens of jobs that were common 20, ten or even two years ago that do not exist today. Most of them you have never heard of, either because you are too young or they were very specialised in areas such as printing and architecture that have been overtaken by new technologies.
If that was true of the past, it is even truer of the future. There are dozens of jobs that exist now that will not exist in 20 years time.
Will actors exist in 20 years time? Or will animation be just as realistic and a lot cheaper? What about cashiers? Will checking out our shopping become completely automated? What will robots be able to do? Surgery? Fly planes? Wait on tables in a restaurant? Will we need librarians or teachers?
Well, will we?
Who knows?
And that is the question, isn't it? Who knows what jobs will still be around when you are in the middle of your career? Will the job you graduated into still exist?
There is a very good chance it won't. And if it does still exist, there is an even greater chance that it will look very different than it did when you started, and you will have to do and know very different things.
The world is changing so fast now that even if you trained at university to do a certain job – say, accounting or environmental engineering or web design – your employer will probably spend your first few months or longer training you in the specific methods the company is currently using.
How are you feeling?
Are you feeling depressed yet?
Don't be, because there are a few things you can do now to prepare for the future.
And one of them is to do nothing at all.
I will explain what I mean in the next post.
Till then though, think about this: The Chase Manhattan Bank found that 60 percent of its worst managers had MBAs while 60 percent of its best managers had BAs. (Thomas Hurka, Globe and Mail, 2 January, 1990)
Why do people with a liberal arts degree (BA) have higher and better paid business jobs than those with a specialised business degree (MBA)?
Your forgetory
Posted on | September 6, 2011 | No Comments
Point: Your brain is designed to remember
I had this wierd thought the other day: Our brain has a forgetory, not a memory.
Here is how I arrived at the thought.
Things enter our brain through eyes, ears and other senses. The main job of a brain, therefore, is to sort out and then to forget all the unimportant stuff that enters it.
When we are young our brain doesn't know what is important and what is not. As we grow, we learn that not everything we see, hear and sense is equally important. We have to know what is important – and let that stay in our brain – and what is not important – and chuck that stuff out.
So, despite what you may think, your brain naturally remembers things. As it got older it had to learn to forget what was not important and leave in what was important. Some brains, however – and they are a very few – never learn how to forget.
An unforgettable brain
Imagine how horrible it would be if you remembered everything.
"Horrible?" you say. "It'd be wonderful. I'd pass all my exams. I'd remember everyone's name." And if you're a male, "I'd remember her birthday. Every year!"
Not so fast! Remembering everything means not forgetting anything.
There was a man once who remembered everything. Or at least a whole lot more than most of us. He was Russian; he lived from 1886 to 1958; and his name was Solomon Shereshevskii. A psychologist called Alexander Luria studied him and his amazing memory for over 30 years and decided he suffered from a severe form of synaesthesia (don't worry what it means; you can look it up if you want to).
One result of this condition was that Shereshevskii found it almost impossible to forget things. Years after an event he could remember every detail, every important and unimportant detail. He was a living video recorder.
But there was a problem.
Shereshevskii's problem
He could remember all the details but he couldn't see the bigger picture. If he read a book he could tell you, page by page, what happened, even word for word, but he couldn't summarise the story for you. If he saw a dog facing right, he couldn't tell that it was the same dog if he then saw it facing left. He found it especially hard to recognise faces because their expressions were always changing.
Is that smiling woman the same person I saw a minute ago who was frowning?
What Shereshevskii couldn't do was rise above the details and see patterns in them. He couldn't make connections, or draw conclusions, or guess. He couldn't look at the stars and see a crab or a dog. (To be honest, neither can I.) Or look at the moon and see a man, or a rabbit, or whatever your culture traditionally sees there.
Your problem
Being unable to forget was Shereshevskii's problem. Forgetting too well is (probably) your problem.
You have probably developed such a good forgetory that you forget too much. When you were young you had to train your brain to forget. That allowed you to focus on the important things and to see patterns. But now it has become a habit. You forget too much, too quickly.
- You need to relax and calm down your forgetory.
- You need to be ever better at knowing what is important.
- And you need to look more actively for patterns.
Too much information is the enemy of thinking.
Remembering more and more facts will not solve the world's problems, nor will it help you get a degree. Seeing patterns, making connections, taking a step back and wondering will.
Letting your mind wander through the information, and letting it choose carefully what is important will.
Narrowing your eyes and seeing a man in the moon, or the DNA double helix, or the matching shapes of tectonic plates, or a baby's grasping reflex will.
Forgetting the unimportant, in other words, will get you your degree.

Interview: Dr Roshni Mooneeram
Posted on | June 22, 2011 | No Comments
Interview series: From the Horse's Mouth. When we hear things from the person most likely to know, we say it is 'straight from the horse's mouth'. Sometimes I will ask some academic horses – and I mean it in the nicest possible sense – for their advice and comments on how to study at a Western university.
Dr Roshni Mooneeram is the Head of the Division of English Studies at the University of Nottingham Ningbo, China. For more on Dr Mooneeram click here.
On entering university
In the UK, A Levels are a great preparation for students coming into university. Obviously, I'm speaking more from my own discipline, but students coming from international backgrounds need to bridge a huge gap coming to study their first year at a British university.
On reading
Students need to have reading skills. It hadn't crossed my mind till I came to work in China but students need to know how to read. A lot of our students don't know how to read, and reading for them is a huge problem. Especially in English Studies, when they do literature, they have incredible difficulty reading.
It's not just a question of the volume of reading. It's not just a question of coming across difficult vocabulary. It's also, I think, a particular mindset, of not having a reading culture and thinking that reading is an enormously difficult thing to do.
Reading literature should start with reading for pleasure. In the UK we have students coming in because they love to read for pleasure and then proceed to reading critically. If students come in not having the ability or the culture of reading for pleasure then it's incredibly difficult to take them to where they need to be in that first year.
Obviously this is made harder by the fact that students are reading in their second language, but our students in the UK already have a reading culture whereas many of my students here have only read one or two books in their whole life, and that's because they were coerced into reading. Reading is not seen as an everyday activity, is not seen as something pleasant to do.
On research skills
Another skill that we would like our students to have is research skills. I think that until the middle of the first semester they don't really understand that we expect a lot of them, that we don't just spoonfeed them, that they have to go and read books and find out for themselves. They need autonomous learning skills.
On arguing
Rhetoric and argumentation are also needed. When you are writing essays, particularly literary ones, most of the time you are constructing persuasive arguments, or you are dismantling other people's arguments.
The ability to put together persuasive arguments is one of the pillars that people need in order to write an English Studies literary essay. They also need suitable turns of phrases to allow them to construct arguments.
On preparing for university
Read, and also do some critical reading because that gives you a bit of a template. Read the literature, the texts, but also read journal articles and criticism of the texts.
When you arrive, we can give you links to examples of the best student work in Nottingham to give you an idea of what critical writing is meant to be about. We have a library of samples of really good student essays in different areas of English Studies.
And not only good essays from the UK. We also have really good work produced in the past couple of years from our Chinese students here, so you can see what students are doing in the UK and also what the best students are doing in China.
A good presentation is like dog poo
Posted on | June 14, 2011 | No Comments
Point: Don't deliver a boring presentation
The weekend before last I went to a conference. I saw ten presentations and gave one myself. Last week I marked student presentations – 138 of them. This week I am checking other teachers' marks for student presentations.
I have had enough of presentations.
But I must say, watching so many presentations, by experienced presenters as well as by novices, is a great way to remember all the little jobs you have to do when you get back to the office.
Your mind wanders. You try to focus but … your mind has a mind of its own. It wanders.
Don't get me wrong; I kept alert enough to follow what was being presented and to give accurate grades but my mind was like a puppy on a leash, always trying to tug me off the presentation path into the smelly bushes where other dogs had recently been.
Until suddenly, every now and then, my puppy mind saw and smelt something fascinating right there on the path. It stopped tugging at the leash. It bent down to sniff this … thing … and I don't like where this analogy is heading, so I'll say it plain.
Every now and then I saw a great presentation. Or a presentation with great parts in it. One that grabbed my attention.
Worth saying again
I have written a number of posts on how to give a good presentation and if you click on the Presentations link in the Index on the right you can find them there. But what is worth saying once is usually worth saying again. So here are a few things I noticed again over the past couple of weeks about presentations.
1. It's very natural when you are giving a presentation to speak fast. You are nervous. Most people are.
There are a couple of clues that tell a listener if the speaker is speaking too fast; they speak too fast, and they finish well before they are supposed to.
Remember that a presentation is a performance. There is a world of difference between reading what someone will say and watching them say it. When they – or you – stand up and begin to speak, the performance begins.
Pauses are a vital part of any performance. When you are speaking, don't talk continuously (and fast) from start to finish. It's not a race. Pause every now and then. Take a breath. Repeat important points. Look at your audience. Enjoy – yes, enjoy – the moment. I talk more about pauses here.
2. If I have been listening to you for ten or twenty or forty minutes, following what you have been saying, agreeing or not agreeing; if I've listened to some questions and answers and maybe asked one or two myself; if I've done all that and if after answering the last question you look down at your computer, close the PowerPoint, pick up your notes and maybe say, "Thank you," or maybe not even that, and walk off, then you leave me with a bad impression.
You may have given a pretty good presentation up till then, but the ending is too important to let it look after itself. You must prepare your ending. In fact, you must prepare two endings; one at the end of your presentation before you ask for questions, and one after the questions.
Leave the audience with a good impression. Finish strongly and cleanly. Confidently. Your audience will feel better and so will you. I talk more about endings here.
3. The last thing I want to mention is organisation. Be organised. Know what your PowerPoint slides say before you open them. Know what your mouth is going to say before you open it. Organisation not only helps your audience, it helps you. And the best way to appear organised is to practise. In this respect, I must say that, on average, the students were better than some of the experienced presenters, who fluffed around, lost their place and line of thought, didn't finish on time, you name it.
To be organised is to be courteous to your audience.
So there you have it. There is more I could say about presentations but, as I've noted above, for now I've had enough of them so I'll leave it at that.
And that is – You can help your listeners keep their puppy minds on the presentation path simply by putting something irresistibly smelly on it.
A good presentation, of course. What else could I possibly mean?

Don't answer that question!
Posted on | June 7, 2011 | No Comments
Point: Don't waste time writing facts if you are not asked for them
This is the post you've been waiting for.
This is the one that will put you out of your study misery.
The one that will get you your degree.
It's on how to answer questions.
To get your degree you will have to answer exam and essay questions. (By the way, if an exam or essay says Discuss or Outline or Evaluate something, those are instructions, not really questions, but in academia we often call them questions anyway.)
So the topic of this post is …
First, though, a question; What is the opposite of a question? I mean, if somebody asks you a question, what do you give them?
You give them … an answer, right?
If you are studying a subject that requires calculation (and even some that don't), yes, an answer, the correct answer, one or more facts, is what you give them.
If you are studying a subject that requires taking a stance or holding an opinion or giving an interpretation though, an answer is not what you should give them. You should give them a response.
They're the same!
No, a response is not the same as an answer.
Let me give you an example.
Q = Question A = Answer R = Response
Me: Did you like the movie?(Q)
You: That's a stupid question.(R) Of course I did.(A)
Another one.
Santa Claus: Do you believe in humans?(Q)
Rudolph: Why do you ask?(R)
And another.
Your lecturer: Outline the Situational and Contingency theories of leadership and discuss how they could be incorporated in a staff training programme at a large manufacturing company.(Q)
You: …
What do you think you should do?
You should give an answer and a response in this case. The answer is the outline of the two theories. The response is your opinion on how to build them into a staff training programme.
How about this one?
University of Warwick: In what ways can we see communism as a global response to the Enlightenment Project?
You: …
Do you have to give an answer to this question? Or a response? Or both?
You have to give a response. You do not have to describe in detail what communism or the Enlightenment Project are. It is presumed that you already know.
You do have to give an opinion, and you will have to provide correct facts to support your opinion, but don't, don't, don't waste time describing what communism and the Enlightenment Project are. Please! You are not asked to do that.
Learn from me
This was my own first mistake at university. For my first ever history essay I got a C-. (I didn't even know that C- existed.) My lecturer said that if I hadn't added a few of my own comments towards the end of the essay I would have failed. (At least C- wasn't a fail.) I had spent most of the essay just describing what happened (it was about migration from England to New Zealand) without taking a stance on what happened, without interpreting it in any way.
This is one of the most common mistakes students make when they write an exam or essay answer. They give facts when they should interpret.
Okay? So you'll have no problem with this one then, will you?
Me: What is the difference between answering and responding to an exam question?
You: …

Interview: Dr Andrew Sowter – Part 2
Posted on | May 31, 2011 | No Comments
Interview series: From the Horse's Mouth. When we hear things from the person most likely to know, we say it is 'straight from the horse's mouth'. Sometimes I will ask some academic horses – and I mean it in the nicest possible sense – for their advice and comments on how to study at a Western university.
Dr Andrew Sowter teaches in the Division of Engineering at the University of Nottingham Ningbo, China. This is the second part of my interview with him. Part 1 is here. For more about Dr Sowter click here.
On taking exams
In Engineering in the UK, we're not interested in how much you write; we're interested in getting the right answer. We like precision in our exam answers; we like bullet points rather than pages of flowery language. We just want to get straight to the answer.
And also in the UK, and at UNNC, we do try to trick the students sometimes, to try to question things in a different way. Often we will change the question from year to year quite subtly so that a question that looks like a question from a previous year is not. For example, one year we might ask What are the advantages of the internal combustion engine? And the next year we might ask What are the disadvantages of the internal combustion engine? And I can guarantee to you that some international students will answer the advantages question because they'll think it's the same question from the previous year.
So, read the question, and answer with precision.
You see, in Engineering we seldom ask the question What's your opinion? In that case, of course, you need to answer differently.
On successful international students
In the UK we have exams in January and in May, and more often than not the international students will not fare so well in the January exams and then do really well in the May exams. This is because they are not used to the way the exams are set up.
You can give them revision aids, you can give them everything but sometimes they're just not used to that style of study. We always say that it's a shame that they seem to need to go through at least one exam to get the shock before going through to the next exam.
The students that do particularly well are the ones that are asking questions straight from the start, are asking What does this mean? What does that mean?
The international students that come to us before the first lot of exams and say I've got this past paper. I've gone through this myself in my spare time. Have I done this right? Is this what you want? Is this what you expect to see? are the students who do well from the start.
On asking questions
The one's that are self-critical, who know they're coming to a UK university, who realise that the culture's different and therefore from day one are wondering if they're doing things right will ask us. The ones that ask us Am I doing this right? are the ones that do well.
We worry more about the ones that are quiet and you never see until the exam. Sometimes they're alright, sometimes they do well but they're the ones that are more likely to have problems. So my advice is to ask questions.
In some cultures there does seem to be a reluctance for students to ask questions during a lecture. At an appropriate time some students will stand up in a lecture and say Sorry, I didn't understand that. And usually the lecturer is very happy to say Oh, didn't I make that very clear? and go through it again. But we don't find many international students doing that.
But we welcome that. We want students to ask us questions, because in the lecture we've only given directions. We know our lecture notes don't cover the whole problem so we like the students to ask us questions and interact with us.
Some international students don't seem to like to do it, though. It's usually the international students who come to you with questions after the lecture whereas the home students tend to do it much more during the lecture.
Once more, with feeling

Point: Improve your subject and language knowledge at the same time
There is a fundamental problem when you are trying to learn stuff in a language that you are also trying to learn.
If you are trying, for example, to learn sociology in French while trying to learn French. Or learning mechanical engineering in Spanish while also learning Spanish. Or Japanese in English while trying to learn English. Seriously, it happens.
The fundamental problem is that it takes so damn long to do anything.
So long to read an article. So long to prepare a presentation. So very long to write an essay. So when you get a chance to do something in your own language, guess what. You do.
I don't blame you. I'd probably do the same. So it's just as well I ask you to do what I say and not what I do.
And here is what I say.
On the Horns
Let's say you need to talk with your study group or other classmates about an essay or presentation or some other assignment. If you all speak a different language (Chinese, say) from the language of study (English), then naturally you want to use Chinese because that's the quickest way to express your ideas and to understand each other's ideas correctly.
You also know that the more you use English, the sooner you will learn it, and you really need to learn English.
You are on what we call the horns of a dilemma. (No, a dilemma is not a kind of dangerous animal. Find out what it means yourself; it's an interesting word.)
Being on the horns of a dilemma means you have two unpleasant choices and you have to choose one of them.
You either talk in Chinese and don't learn English as quickly or as well as you should; or talk in English and don't learn your subject as quickly or as well as you should.
Ouch! Two ways to lose, right?
Not necessarily.
Worth doing twice
Why not have the discussion in your own language first. Share your thoughts, make your decisions, focus on the subject.
Then, when you've finished, don't. Finish, I mean. Keep on talking. Summarise the discussion you just had, but this time in English. You don't have to spend the same length of time, just go over the same points, reach the same conclusions, crack the same jokes. Laugh in English if you want. Or can.
In the first discussion you can concentrate on the subject; in the second on the language. You will have to use that language later in your essay or presentation anyway so using it now will help you do that.
You will have to find others who are willing to join you, of course, so here's a chance to develop your leadership skills, too!
Repeating the discussion has a number of benefits.
- You learn your subject efficiently because you are doing it at your natural thinking and talking speed in your own language.
- You improve your English discussion skills and fluency.
- You improve and practise the English that you will have to use later in your assignment.
- You hop off the horns of your dilemma.
Having said all that, though, I must also say that the best way, and your ultimate goal, is to have every discussion in your target language, the language of your study environment.
But you knew that already, didn't you.
Of course you did.

Ben's Way
Posted on | May 17, 2011 | No Comments
Point: Learn to write well by imitating the best
If my father found some emails I'd written to a friend, read them, and criticised my writing style – said it wasn't elegant or clear, that my line of reasoning was weak, and that my friend wrote better – I wouldn't be very happy.
I'd probably say something like, "What? Were you reading my private mail?"
"It was there. I'm your father," he might say to me. "Your spelling and punctuation are okay."
Which may have been what Benjamin Franklin's father said to him 300 years ago about some letters of Ben's he came across.
I am not Ben
Now if I were Ben I might have said some pretty direct things to my father. Who likes other people reading their private mail? Even fathers. Especially fathers! So it's just as well for humanity that I'm not Ben Franklin.
Ben says he "saw the justice of his (father's) remark." And maybe he did, after he cooled down. But I'm sure he needed time to to cool down. I mean, he was a son whose father read his private mail…!
Then again, Benjamin Franklin was pretty special; a Founding Father of America, author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, satirist, diplomat. And not only was he these things – and more – he was often among the best of them.
His face is on American $100 bills. He signed the American Declaration of Independence. He played the violin, harp, and guitar.
And he went to school for two years.
Yes, only two. In other words, he taught himself.
So what did Ben do when his father criticised his writing? He taught himself to write better.
Ben's way
This is what he did.
He found a magazine called The Spectator in which he liked the style of writing. He then devised a system of writing practice that went like this:
- Read an article.
- Make notes from it.
- Put the article aside.
- A few days later, looking at the notes, rewrite the article.
- Compare with the original.
Sometimes, instead of notes, he would write poems from the original and rewrite from the poems. Or he would mix up his notes so that he had to first put them into a good order before rewriting.
If you want to write better academic English, you could use Ben's method too. Instead of a magazine article, take notes from a section – a couple of paragraphs perhaps – from a journal article on one of your subjects.
- Read the section.
- Make notes from it.
- Put the article aside.
- A few days later, looking at the notes, rewrite the section.
- Compare with the original.
Ben says that when he did this he would find many things he did wrong and would correct them, but that sometimes he reckoned that he actually improved on the original. And that gave him a buzz.
A hard truth
Here's a truth that's not new: If you want to be good at something you have to practise it. You have to spend time doing it again and again.
Ben practised in the morning before work, at night after work, on Sundays instead of church (seems he didn't do everything his father wanted).
It can be hard. I'm not going to apologise; it's just the way it is.
But if you do practise, and get better, even good at something, you'll feel the same buzz that Ben did.
Later in the paragraph where he describes that buzz, that pleasure, Ben says something very telling. And important. He says that, regarding becoming a tolerable English writer, he was "extremely ambitious".
Not just ambitious. Not even very ambitious. But extremely ambitious.
How ambitious are you to become a tolerable writer of academic English?
If you're not at least a little ambitious to write decent English I can tell you right now what will happen.
You won't. Ever.

Passionate Souls
Posted on | May 10, 2011 | No Comments
Point: Study what interests you
Their clothes are untidy, ill-fitting, and possibly even smelly. Their hair is untidy, ill-fitting, and possibly even smelly.
They are tall, short, or average height. S, M, or XXL.
They may speak five languages fluently, or only one, badly.
They'll know the past 10 leaders of Guatemala and their views on financial controls, or they'll think Guatemala is a kind of pasta.
They are often called nerds. Or geeks.
And they are, for all their peculiarities, or because of them, the soul of a university.
Us and them
Most of us – I include myself – stumble through university, half an eye on our study, half on having fun, half on love (or lust at least), and half on our future career. And if we seem to lack focus during our university years it's because we are trying to make those four halves equal one. It can't be done. (Though we make some great memories trying.)
Your average nerd, on the other hand, while we are wondering if we've read enough sources to make our reference list long enough, has already read sixteen more than us. While we are settling for a relatively small sample size to analyse, your nerd has collected twice as many samples. And analysed them. Twice. With a statistical tool they devised in their head between waking up and the toilet.
While we are looking for what is enough, in other words, they are looking for what is possible.
And they are doing it because, believe it or not, they just want to know. They are studying for studying's sake. The truth, they believe, is out there, and they want it.
Some universities are blessed with nerds. Others are blessed with me. All kinds are needed. Cash is cash, and bums on seats are bums on seats. But universities with lots of nerds are doubly blessed; they get passion with their bums.
The search
Universities are supposed to search for truth. (They are also supposed to train students so they can enter the workforce, serve society and get rich but I want to keep our gaze a little higher for the moment. In fact, that's the point of this post.) But institutions don't search for truth; people do. And the people in universities that most insistently and passionately search for truth are the nerds. That is what I mean when I say that nerds are the soul of a university.
I'm not saying that everyone should be a nerd. You might be one or you might become one as you get more interested in your subject, but it's fine if you are one of the majority of students who stumble through university. It's fine if you are like me.
What I do want and hope, though, is that you treasure the part of you that finds your subject interesting. The part that gets lost in an article about your subject. The part that loses track of time when you are working on an essay or doing some research. The part that gets curious, upset, and even a little passionate at times about whatever you are studying.
That is your inner nerd reaching up from deep within and squeezing your heart. Get in touch with it. Nurture it.
Don't settle
Universities began as an organised search for and/or preservation of truth. They will help you find a job and make money, sure, but your life, and your university's life, have a higher purpose also. Don't settle for spending four years of your precious young life only calculating how to get a good job with a high salary, a company car and dental cover.
Find what interests you. Feed your inner nerd. Go find some of the truth that is out there.
And don't worry; you can be a tidy part-time nerd that dresses well and has a nice haircut if you want. It really does take all kinds.

Interview: Dr Andrew Sowter – Part 1
Posted on | May 2, 2011 | No Comments
Interview series: From the Horse's Mouth. When we hear things from the person most likely to know, we say it is 'straight from the horse's mouth'. Sometimes I will ask some academic horses – and I mean it in the nicest possible sense – for their advice and comments on how to study at a Western university.
Dr Andrew Sowter teaches in the Division of Engineering at the University of Nottingham Ningbo, China. For more about Dr Sowter click here.
On expectations
The difference between students in, say, China and the UK is their expectation of university. The expectation of the students is that they will get a lot of classes. The expectation of the lecturers is that the students will do a lot of self-study.
For example, in a ten credit module we expect the students to do 100 hours of work. That may include 30 hours of lectures over a ten week period. There may be some practical classes in there making an additional ten hours, but we expect then that the students will do a further 60 hours of self-study.
On lectures
Students often think that lectures are somehow going to be a complete set of notes for their course. But at a UK university we see lectures as giving direction. We expect students to go away, look at the reference material, go to the library, and learn a little bit more of the subject.
One of my colleagues said something that I think is quite memorable; that if you learn the subject from the notes I give you during the lectures you will only get an average degree. If you want a first class degree then you must read around the subject.
Lectures are important, but primarily for direction. Lectures are really to tell you what's going to be in the exam. If you don't turn up for the lectures, you won't know what will be covered in the exam. You won't know what fundamental things you will need to know in order to get through the course.
On notes
Usually lecturers will give you copies of their presentation, or notes to go with the presentation, and the lecturer will talk around those points.
Now, if a lecturer is like me, he will tend to go off in different directions and it's important that students make a note of what's not on the PowerPoint slides, what's not in the given notes because the lecturer may also give some other direction and other information in more detail that's important to understand what the lecturer is trying to get across.
On preparing for university
I would look at the curriculum before you come to university and maybe spend a day or two in a library looking at different textbooks.
When you go to a library and look up a topic on, say, dynamics or mechanics you'll find several books, good introductory books on those topics. And one of the things you'll note is that they will use different styles.
The books won't all agree on how to introduce the topic. Some will start with some theory and move into examples. Others will start straightaway with examples and describe the theory behind the examples.
And lecturers do the same.
So it's worthwhile, I think, looking at books and forming your own notes, picking a small subject and forming your own notes on that subject, just to practise.
When I was at high school, one of my teachers would say, right, over summer research this area. And when you get back to school in September you can do a presentation on what you've learned. That was really quite useful in honing our self-study skills, and I think the students who are good at self-study will do well at university.« go back — keep looking »

Hi and welcome to our WealthPrice Blog! You may wonder what's this WealthPrice all about. Huh? WealthPrice? The Price of Wealth? The price you need to pay to become wealthy. Sounds like corporatism!
You probably know the story of "training" fleas. Summarily, fleas are put in a box with a lid and they start jumping and hitting the lid. After a short debate, they decided not to jump so high anymore.
Several days ago a friend of mine opened a soccer school for kids. He went to a few schools from the neighborhood and directly advertised his business. Being the first day he asked me to watch the training and give him some feedback. The training went fine, but I've noticed that my friend the coach was a little anxious.
Ubuntu is a word in Nguni language (a Bantu language spoken in southern Africa) that is known to be a term for a very strong humanist philosophy, also known as Ubuntuism or Hunhuism (in Shona language).
One of the most important laws of the Universe is The Law of Cause and Effect. This law states that every cause has a corresponding effect and every effect becomes a cause for another effect.
Ask a logical person, someone with a high education that accumulated a lot of information in his life which is the most important: The Mind, The Soul or The Body? They will most certainly tell you that The Mind is the most important.
Today I was sitting relaxed in the sun on a bench in the park. The heat of the sun caressed my face and my mind was running in the infinite space. In those moments I asked myself the following question: If I want a happy, harmonious and prosperous life, were should I begin?
More and more people ask themselves: what is more important, your inside or your outside? Most of you will say that the most important is your inside. That's good, your inside self should be more important than your outside self.

Try These Nutrition Tips And Stay Healthy
It is true that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, because not only does it give you the nutrients that you need, but it will give your metabolism a boost.
Sometimes, making healthy changes to your regular diet is the best way to introduce your family to good nutrition choices. This can really help if you or your children are fussy eaters or dislike fruits and vegetables. An example would be adding dried milk to bread products or smoothies, or putting some pureed white beans into cookies or cakes. The people eating the food you have prepared will still enjoy their meals and snacks, but they will also be eating healthier.
Oatmeal is a great healthy breakfast option, and will start your day on the right foot. The complex carbohydrates in oatmeal will fill you up nicely, and keep you going throughout the morning.
Always eat in moderation when you are deciding on a meal plan. Overeating can create too many nutrients inside of your body, which may make you gain weight or feel uncomfortable. It may work to impede your body's functions and ultimately harm your overall health.
You'll find yourself looking and feeling better if you follow a diet that is filled with good nutritional choices. If you want to lose weight and eat healthy, say goodbye to refined carbohydrates. Make sure to keep an eye on fruit juice and soda intake. These items have a lot of extra refined sugars in them and should be avoided at all costs. See how much better your diet is without that sugar. Your appearance and sense of well being will be greatly enhanced.
If you have diabetes, you face some needs that are unusually challenging. Eating small frequent meals throughout the day can help keep blood sugar levels steady. They must consume a lot of vegetables and fresh fruits, as well as the cobbler that will make the event. They need to be sure to eat at the same time every day.
An excellent piece of advice concerning nutrition is to go a certain period of time without consuming any grains. Humans have only recently begun to eat processed foods. Whole grains are far more healthy than processed flours. Grains are kind of new to the world of food. By not eating grains, you might start to feel better.
Try eating canned salmon. This food has tons of minerals that help your body function properly. In addition, it doesn't have many fat or carbohydrates. Try to aim for variety in your diet, as this provides maximum enjoyment of your food.
Use whole wheat flour instead of enriched white flour to bake. Whole wheat flour has more fiber and nutrients than white flour and is less processed.
Making healthy choices while dieting may be difficult for some people. If you allow yourself too many unhealthy options in your diet, you may find that you choose the unhealthy foods. However, the more times that you make the healthy choice, the more control you will have over cravings for comfort foods. You'll get over your need to eat what makes you feel emotionally better, and begin to eat based on what's nutritionally appropriate.
There are so many ways to implement better nutrition into your life. jerky direct info

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey guys, my name is Seattlegrunge, I play on EUNE since the Sejuani patch and I want to share with you my knowledge about Soraka the Starchild, it was my first champion I have ever purchased, I was always used to play the healer back in World of warcraft, and in many other games so here it is, I hope you will learn something useful <3
Pros / Cons
+ great heal, even when you don't buy AP
+ amazing synergy with mana hungry ad carries
+ really really cool ultimate, when used correctly
+ your lane opponents won't even try to poke your carry
- no hard CC
- really long cooldown on your heal
- REVIVE RALLY JUNGLE SORAKA is not possible now QQ (see here :D )
Summoner spells
- Flash was always a good pick for almost every champion- from escaping bad situation to securing kills it's really universal
- Clairvoyance I personally prefer this over Exhaust here are some examples to demonstrate how good it is:
- you can see enemy team's starting items
- you don't have to facecheck bushes anymore
- you can check important objectives (Baron, Dragon, Blue buff ...)
- you can spot enemy jungler
note: if you have Ashe with you it loses its importance so it might be better to pick something else
- Exhaust is also pretty good choice good for chasing or escaping
- Heal your ADC won't almost never die...really what can beat triple (!!) heal ? :P (yea, I know Ignite, Death Lotus, Impure Shots and more :[ )
- Ignite pretty decent choice against mirror Soraka, apply during ganks or when you think you will get the kill
I run 0/9/21 most of the times and I must say it is much better than
9/0/21 with 9/0/21 you are simply too squishy even with Astral Blessing an defensive runes
Explaining my masteries choices:
- Durability scaling health, somewhat good, but not that important
- Hardiness 5 armor really nice to the early game[worth 100g]
- Resistance 2 MR not really making that much difference but once in 300 games it will save your life =D [worth 40g]
- Veteran's Scars pretty important early game help pick in 100% of your games [worth 79g]
- Summoner's Insight really awesome Clairvoyance upgrade and CDR on Flash will help sometimes
- Wanderer not bad not good, you can't do or recieve any damage for 5 seconds to get this boost
- Meditation free Faerie Charm ? YES PLEASE [worth 180gold]
- Expanded Mind sometimes helps to cast that last Starcall for the kill but generally not that important
- Greed half the bonus of kage's luck pretty important [worth 111gold mathematicaly]
- Biscuiteer your only potion use it when you don't want to leave your lane yet
- Explorer nice for preventing lvl1 invades [worth 60gold]
- Wealth let you start with the basic items i reccomended a must have
- inteligence 6% CDR is a lot ex. for your ultimate it is 7.2 seconds witch is not bad
- Pickpocket mz favorite mastery of all time defines your playstyle in lane:waiting in bush sometimes attacking enemy champion who gets too close
most effective mastery of the utility tree 3%MS for 1mastery point is really really good ^^
Counters and synergies
Who has a good synergy with our fabulous unicorn ? It is:
- Ezreal he is pretty mana hungry early game so consider putting some more early points into your Infuse
- Graves he is already pretty tanky thanks to his True Grit and with help of Consecration, Astral Blessing and Quickdraw he will escape some pretty nasty situations, also he can spam Buckshot all day long for some decent harrasment
- Some more champions that are good thanks to their unlimited harrasment are : Sivir , Varus, Caitlyn and Urgot
Who counters our favorite banana dealer ? Mainly champions with healing reduction such as Tristana, Varus or Miss Fortune it might be better to pick Janna because her Eye Of The Storm won't lose the protection,
some more specific champions are :
- Nocturne, when he ganks other lane using his Paranoia Soraka won't be able to heal her ally (SoloQ only)
- Ashe after lvl 6 she might be able to burst your adc down thanks to her Enchanted Crystal Arrow
- Blitzcrank he will pull you nad burst you down together with his ADC
other burst lane compositons will probably win if you don't play it safe
Champions countered by Soraka :
listening to smashing pumpkins atm =O
Pretty much every poke-based adc such as Ezreal or Sivir
- Nocturne, when he ganks other lane using his Paranoia Soraka won't be able to heal her ally (SoloQ only)
Items to begin with
Faerie Charm and Rejuvenation Bead grant you some early game sustain and both enable you to purchase Philosopher's Stone pretty early of course wards are 100% needed
About potions
I don't find Mana Potion or even Health Potion really useful mainly because she will only use Astral Blessing and she already has some mana regeneration, but if you don't feel confident you can pick some instead of Rejuvenation Bead
core items
- Philosopher's Stone you can choose to run Kage's Lucky Pick instead if you want to harras with Starcall but beware of stealing your adc's farm !!
- Ruby Sightstone WARD WARD WARD, be sure not to use only those 3 wards, but to buy some Vision Wards too
Boots of Mobility those will get you to your ward places faster, Sorcerer's Shoes are pretty bad on Soraka because you will shred enemy's magic resist with Starcall
End build
- Shurelya's Reverie my favorite support item, it will save many lives if used correctly
- Runic Bulwark nice defensive bonus in teamfights ^^
- Locket of the Iron Solari very good against AoE ultimates, use when you see ally is about to die
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter Perma slow thanks to your Starcall nice bonus to your efficiency in teamfights
When you feel like doing damage
Boots of Mobility, Ruby Sightstone, Shurelya's Reverie are really really important so don't change those
- Morellonomicon is nice with 20% CDR and healing reduction
- Abyssal Mask very useful item when your Starcall MR shred is just not enough to pick up some kills
- Liandry's Torment is also very nice thanks to its synergy with Rylai's Crystal Scepter
Optional items
- Frozen Heart really good counter to full AD team
- Mikael's Crucible pick when their team looks like this :
- Oracle's Elixir best way to counter Teemo or Evelynn
- zeke's herald decent choice for full AD team
Really good passive against AP junglers and ADs with some magic damage eg. Ezreal with Essence Flux
-In teamfights you just want to spam this all day long
- 20mana per cast on rank1 is really nice, try to poke enemy champions a little
-good for defending a base against huge waves of minions
Astral Blessing
-very good healing ability
-when you are being ganked use it early for the armor boost
- never underestimate the armor boost 105 at rank5 is really nice
-can sometimes deny 1 CS (!!!) to your opponents adc when used on a minion- use this to look cool B| when leaving lane and your adc's life is full
-tell your adc to spam his abilities a lot you will give him his mana back
- use for a little harras, when your adc's mana is full- it doesn't cost anything
- can be used to prevent enemy champion from Flashing
-takes some practice to master
- best way is to play full pre-made and call on raidcall, teamspeak or something for the most efective use of this
I wanted to make some images of where to ward and stuff but
this guy already made an AMAZING video about it if you watch this untill the end you will become much better player in general, trust me ! :D (some info is outdated though QQ)
btw. You can check his stream here : http://www.twitch.tv/ciderhelm
(not getting payd just his fan :P )
Final words
I hope someone will learn something useful in this guide <3
Be sure to let me know about all the mistakes I have made so I can improve
Criticism is more then welcome
So what are you waiting for ? Go to the Summoner's rift and bring and unleash the full power of this lovely champion !
