Very recently I was given your book, Liberation from Lie. I can't stop reading the book. Every word in the book is me and I have been able to see why I have been living my life with such a high level of stress, worries, fear. Liberation from lie is just wonderful wonderful and what the book says is absolutely correct. 100% agreement from me. J.P.
I came home and your book made my cry...So all the moods of the ego passed away and I let my anger, hunger for knowledge, my tears and lots of ironic humor in, totally and found out: I am alive!! And waking up. F.V.
With the help of this book's techniques, we heal the Wound and discard the False Self, revealing a true and deeper self of joy, love, and happiness. J.M.
This is not a Self Help book. It is a liberation-from-self book. My life has been changed with this new understand and I believe yours' will be also. S.B.
This will be my guide for the rest of my life. Thank you for your great book. Y.K.
I'd like to thank you for and congratulate you on your book. I've read through it now and feel that you've really diagnosed and articulated very accurately some (perhaps, the, at least in practical terms) key aspects of our present human condition and how to approach it. I would go so far as to say that at this point it seems to be the best 'model' I have come across
I can't thank you enough for the seed you planted. J.K.
You've done a great job on this book - I can tell that already. It hits me hard and in the gut. J.O.
I've been reading your book, Liberation from the Lie, and I find it revolutionary. A.
I'm about halfway through your book, Liberation from the Lie, - great, great read. Your book really hits home and, as you know, it's extremely difficult finding such powerful reads. L.R.
Been reading your book since you sent it. Brilliant! Spiritualist, pleaser, rebel, ha ha ha ! tons of images from the past as a child as a teanager as a parent. Images of my parents and my children. There is a sense of sadness, relief and undescribable joy! This hits me right is tne solar plexus. Thank you for this gem Eric. C.L.
If you want to understand what the word 'Natural' means as opposed to what the word 'Enlightenment' means, then read this book – If you want to know why you struggle, why you feel tense all the time. Why you do not feel at home anywhere… If you would like to even begin to understand why nothing fits for you, why the world feels so alienating then start here and do not stop. P.B.
First of all I want to say how your book "Liberation of the Lie" hits home to me. I'm amazed that you've been able to observe the mind this way and put your finger on the"LIE". J.D.
I wanted to tell you that this is the first book that I feel goes straight to the heart of the issue .. the core. K.B.
The basic message of this book is exactly what is needed in this crazy life: to realize our authentic and true selves free from the bondage of striving. This is a call to no longer live and act from fear, but rather from the presence of love inherent in our being. S.K.
Eric Gross has taken on a great challenge by attempting to liberate us all from our deepest held, most destructive beliefs and he has come up with a masterful book. S.G.
Are you ready to rise above the morass of conventional wisdom and discover a new way of understanding yourself, the world around you and what you're here to accomplish? Are you prepared to wake up and return to the heroic journey we are all called to? If you are `Liberation From The Lie' is the book for you! B.E.
Eric Gross shines a thousand headlights on your Fear-Self. Seeing the Fear-Self, and seeing who sees it, you might realize there is another approach to living life. J.K.
By far, one of the better, if not the best, "help" books I've read (believe me, there have been many). My opinion, his work is much more focused and accessible than what Tolle attempts to impart in the "Power of Now". R.K.
Eric Gross does a very creditable job of laying out a path for "cutting the roots of fear once and for all." I give it five stars - well worth reading and reflecting upon. J.T.
In many cases, there really is only so much you can say about the nature of reality. And we've read quite a few books that really aren't worth the time to review. So it is always a particular treat to read a book that approaches things differently or brings a message from a different angle. "Liberation from the Lie" by Eric Gross is one of those books. 10 out of 10 and ranked as the third best awakening book reviewed by the Enlightenment Dudes. S.C - The Enlightenment Dudes

'Fifty Shades of Grey' will be published as hardcovers
The blockbuster trilogy will be published in hardcover, just in time for Valentine's Day.
Fifty Shades of Grey, the erotic bondage trilogy that was once a hush-hush secret among Upper East Side wives, has come full circle to mainstream respectability:
For the first time, E.L. James' blockbuster novels — now available as e-books and paperbacks — will be published as hardcovers, ready to take a prideful, permanent place on fans' bookshelves. And just in time for Valentine's Day.
On Jan. 29, Doubleday will release 200,000 copies of Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed in hardback for $26.95 each. There also will be a shrink-wrapped set of the three books for $80.85.
Why the new format? "As interest in the Fifty Shades trilogy has grown, readers have been asking for hardcover editions of the books," says James' publisher Anne Messitte in an e-mail. "These new hardcovers include unique production elements, making them the ultimate collector's editions for readers of the trilogy."
The new hardcovers feature a red silk ribbon — which is not detachable, thank you very much! There is also the author's signature, "Laters Baby, E.L. James X," embossed in silver on the book itself beneath the trademark Grey jackets featuring, respectively, the tie, the mask and the handcuffs.
There also is a discreet warning on the back guaranteed to keep little eyes from prying: "EROTIC ROMANCE: Mature Audience."
The trilogy has sold more than 35 million copies in the USA and 65 million worldwide. The first book was No. 1 on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list for 20 straight weeks last year, and the trilogy remains in the top 10.

If we're lucky, we will get diabetic neuropathy in our lifetimes. Nearly 60 percent of people with diabetes in America have it after a quarter of a century.
Neuropathy may be the most common complication of diabetes and can make walking difficult as well as leading to even more serious problems like losing a limb. Diabetic neuropathy is damage caused to the nerves, and it can result in numbness, tingling, burning, and pain. Until now the painkillers that we could use don't work well for everyone.
Now, however, a study from the University of Calgary shows evidence supporting a new drug therapy to treat diabetic neuropathy. The drug is called nabilone.
"My pain was so severe that I could barely walk a block," says Leslie Bonenfant, who has type 2 diabetes and participated in the study. "After taking nabilone, I can manage my pain and I can function day to day," she says.
Leslie Bonenfant (left) during a medical exam with Dr. Cory Toth
The U.S. and Canadian governments have already approved nabilone. The approval is for another condition, but doctors can prescribe drugs approved for one condition to treat other conditions. We call this off-label use.
The researchers treated 60 people with diabetic neuropathy in a 12-week placebo-controlled clinical study. Compared with those people in the placebo group, the people who got nabilone said they had less pain and anxiety. They also slept better.
The study appears in the October issue of the journal Pain. Only the abstract is online, but Dr. Cory Toth, the lead author, kindly sent me the full-text. Dr. Toth is assistant professor in the university's department of clinical neurosciences and the director of the Neuropathic Pain Clinic.
"Nabilone is a good option to help treat nerve pain due to diabetes with very few side effects," Dr. Toth says. The people in the study who took nabilone tolerated it well.
Nabilone is the generic name of the drug. Its brand name is Cesamet, and people usually take it for the nausea and vomiting that chemotherapy causes.
"Virtually all diabetics who have experienced ongoing higher-than-normal blood sugars for more than five years suffer some loss of sensitivity in their feet to pain, pressure, and temperature, Dr. Richard K. Bernstein writes in Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution. "This is because prolonged blood sugar elevation can injure and eventually destroy all sensory nerves in the feet (sensory neuropathy)."
He says that we may be able to reverse this sensory neuropathy with tight blood sugar control. But at best this takes a lot of time.
Meanwhile, pain relief is crucial if we live long enough with high blood sugar to get neuropathy. But we would be even more lucky when we avoid getting neuropathy in the first place by making sure that our blood sugar level is normal.

A tradition at my U.C. Berkeley class "Creativity & Innovation & The Entrepreneur" (ICE) is to set aside one class each semester to discuss "innovations in Marketing". I ask the students to each contribute 1-2 examples of highly creative, imaginative and innovative marketing and post them to a WIKI. This year, we had over 70 postings and great discussion in class about the nature of the "creative" advertising agency, and what makes a marketing campaign highly innovative.
As a former marketing exec (IBM, Apple, Yahoo, Netchannel, Overture and others), I've worked with hundreds of highly creative people – in fact, at a place like Apple, marketing seemed to be a never-ending game between creatives as to who could create the most innovative plan.
I learned that sometimes, just simple ingenuity and the element of surprise and delight works wonders…for example the simplicity of the Apple logo, the release of the Mac in 1984, the irreverence of the iPod and simplicity of iPhone advertisements, all underscore the innovative culture of Apple. Our class found several great examples of creative, yet highly simple, marketing campaigns in every-day advertising:
- clever advertising campaigns
- some creative outdoor campaigns
- Here are some great examples of outdoor bench advertising
The game in marketing is to figure out who can create the most innovative ad campaigns, the most effective lead drivers, and the best branding and positioning. Naturally, with so many creative people in this industry, lots of creative ideas occur. How many are truly innovative?
Top Four Elements of Innovative Marketing
This year in class, we tore apart several of the marketing campaigns to figure out what makes for truly innovative marketing. Here are the five elements of innovative marketing that came from our Wiki this year:
1. Highly innovative marketing campaigns employ the age-old craft of story-telling, sometimes allowing the user to fill in the missing pieces of the story. Everyone loves a good story. And, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other sites are perfect viral channels for the spread of a good story. Here are several examples of highly viral campaigns that tell a great (and personal) story:
Google posted a particularly clever campaign during a period when it was under fire from the press for some of its practices. 5 million viewers have watched the viral video. The video shows the "human" (softer) side of Google (often said to be a bit "tc in its culture) and the viewer is pulled into the story with a certain "that could be me" feel.
Not to be out-marketed, Facebook posted a similar video recently, although its viral effects have been minimal so far. But still, it's fun to watch.
Another very effective campaign that tells a poignant story to get its point across is the Dove Evolution campaign that hit the 'Net in October, 2006. This innovative marketing example used stop photography to get its point across, leaving the reader to think about Dove in an entirely new light.
2. Highly innovative campaigns draw the user in …often engaging the user in the story or campaign. Given the nature of the social web today, the best way to engage many users is to draw them in on a personal level. One of my all-time favorite viral videos "Where the Hell Is Matt?" (33 million views) does an amazing job at this.
One great example of this is the Pepsi Refresh project, which has (as of this writing) attracted 640,000 viewers. The project engages entrepreneurs around the country in submitting socially beneficial business plans. The music and visuals suck you in and tell a motivating story.
This Nissan Sentra advertisement highlights the takes personalization to an new level, but actually showing the main character living out of his Nissan. Young audiences could relate well to this.
3. Innovative campaigns draw their creativity from the intersection of 2 or more marketing devices. When one discovers the power of a new medium but leverages the legacy of an older medium, great things happen. For example, Paranormal Activity was a run-away low-budget box-office smash, based on the incredible viral marketing the film used prior to theatrical introduction. One key element of this was the combination of Twitter and viral video. People "tweeted their screams".
Here are several other, more recent, examples:
- Groupon is combining crowd-sourcing with location-based marketing to craft campaigns that draw big crowds into locations for on-the-spot promotions
- Volvo – teamed up with Double-Click to create innovative banner ads that incorporate live Twitter feeds
- Ikea came up with a completely novel use for Facebook "tagging" by allowing users to claim prizes
The campaigns that are most innovative will come up with novel ways of combining 2 or more forms of existing marketing to arrive at new combinations.
4. Highly innovative marketing utilizes an element of surprise and delight , which crosses the expected with the unexpected. The result is a campaign that people want to share among themselves and watch over and over.
- Coke used this highly effective campaign to brand itself to happiness and fun – and who doesn't want happiness and fun?
- Burger King allowed people to "have it their way" by personalizing the experience, delighting and surprising their customers in the process
- A favorite among the 20-something crowd is the Old Spice viral videos from 2009 which used surprise and humor to re-build the brand's image.
These are four approaches to creating innovation in Marketing. What other examples match up to these four findings? What other sources of innovation defines the Marketing field?

Math and science fun?
These CSB women say it is!
May 3, 2013
By Diane Hageman with assistance from Jill Yanish '13 and Elisabeth Leipholtz '15
The May 11 College of Saint Benedict commencement will be historic in more ways than one. First, it's the kick-off to CSB's centennial celebration "A Century of Connection." And second, eight women will be the first cohort of MapCores (Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science Research Scholars) students to graduate from CSB.
With the strong encouragement of CSB President MaryAnn Baenninger and the backing of a $600,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, MapCores was launched with the first-year class in the fall of 2009. CSB students were chosen for their interest in majoring in math, physics or computer science.
Students who are accepted into this program receive a scholarship of $20,000 a year which is renewable up to four years. In addition to the eight MapCores students graduating this year, there are a total of 38 in the first-year, sophomore and junior classes.
"These select group of women gain cross-disciplinary academic and research experiences which will help prepare them for careers in these fields," said Kris Nairn, associate professor of mathematics at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University who took the lead on writing the NSF grant.
MapCores is structured to help students gain confidence to persist in a rigorous curriculum, recognize and overcome some of the cultural stereotypes that may hinder academic progress and develop self-esteem as junior members of the scientific community.
"On these campuses, we're all made very aware of gender and gender differences," said Becca Simon, a computer science major from Witchita, Kan. "The support of women in the areas of math and science definitely drew me in because it was something the other schools didn't have."
Supportive environment
Faculty from computer science, mathematics and physics serve as mentors and each cohort participates as a group in science-focused, honors first year seminar (FYS) together. This close interaction creates a dynamic learning environment where students bring the strengths of their individual academic discipline while learning from the perspective of other disciplines.
"The core of the program is the interaction among the cohort," said Lynn Ziegler, professor of computer science at CSB and SJU.
"We do all these interconnected assignments sophomore and junior year. I did an assignment with a math (and accounting) major, and we did something on how the brain perceives color," said Michelle Hromatka, a computer science major from Chanhassen, Minn. "They're unrelated things, but it's about taking the different backgrounds and combining them into one project."
The results demonstrate the success of the program. CSB computer science majors have quadrupled, physics majors have doubled and math majors are up 14 percent, now making up 42 percent of math majors at CSB and SJU. In this cohort, there are four computer science graduates, three mathematics graduates and one physics graduate. Five are entering graduate school and three have secured jobs.

Our economy is chugging along and will continue to do so for a while. That's what a national economist told Lancaster County residents last month.
That bit of information was no real revelation for any of us. The signs of a sluggish economy – a stagnant real estate market with an abundance of homes for sale (many foreclosed), county unemployment rate of about 13.9 percent and an increase in numbers of people who need help with life's basic needs – have been apparent for while. And it doesn't appear to be getting better anytime soon.

With David Richardson, Floridians Elect the First Openly Gay Member of the Legislature
FlaglerLive | August 15, 2012
In primary elections shaped by newly drawn districts, Florida voters Tuesday appeared to send three incumbent House members packing, rejuvenated the political careers of a few old names — and likely elected the state's first openly gay lawmaker.
Miami-Dade voters chose Rep. Jose Felix Diaz over fellow Rep. Ana Rivas Logan in a Republican primary in House District 116, and Rep. Barbara Watson held a narrow lead late Tuesday over Rep. John Patrick Julien in a Democratic primary in District 107. Flagler County voters gave Democrat Milissa Holland, the county commissioner, a resounding victory over fellow-Democrat Doug Courteny. Holland now faces Republican Travis Hutson in the general election for the newly formed District 24 seat, which includes all of Flagler County.
Meanwhile, Palm Beach County voters gave former Rep. Kevin Rader, D-Delray Beach, a big primary win over incumbent Steve Perman of Boca Raton. Rader joined former lawmakers such as Alex Diaz de la Portilla, R-Miami, in winning primaries as they seek to return to Tallahassee.
In Miami-Dade, meanwhile, Democratic voters in District 113 chose David Richardson over three other candidates, electing likely the first openly gay member of the Legislature. Richardson, a Miami Beach accountant who got 33 percent of the vote, does not have a general election opponent.
"Florida's journey to total equality, including marriage equality, is far from over," the advocacy group SAVE Dade said in an e-mail. "But David's victory is a big step forward for our community."
The once-a-decade redistricting process has led to incumbent House members knocking on doors in unfamiliar territory this year and, in some cases, facing tougher primary races than in the past.
In northeast Florida, Rep. Ronald "Doc" Renuart, R-Ponte Vedra Beach, withstood a tough challenge from St. Johns County residents Mike Davis and Kim Kendall in District 17. Renuart got 39 percent of the vote, while Davis collected 31 percent and Kendall had about 30 percent.
In a neighboring district, Rep. Janet Adkins, R-Fernandina Beach, turned back Neptune Beach attorney Cord Byrd in another hard-fought race. Adkins got about 66 percent of the vote as she seeks a third term in the newly drawn district that includes parts of Duval and Nassau counties.
Some of Tuesday's close races did not involve incumbents. For example, Avon Park physician Cary Pigman had a 26-vote lead late Tuesday over former Rep. Randy Johnson of Sebring in a Republican primary in largely rural House District 55 in south-central Florida.
In the Orlando area, Republican Marco Pena won by fewer than 300 votes in his House District 49 primary against Rene "Coach P" Plasencia. Among Democratic primaries, Gainesville Democrat Andrew Morey also won by fewer than 400 votes over the better-funded Aaron Bosshardt in District 21.
The primaries also provided a chance for some former lawmakers to try to return to Tallahassee. Diaz de la Portilla, who has served in the House and Senate, easily beat former Rep. Gus Barreiro in a Republican primary in District 112 and moved onto a general-election race against Democrat Jose Javier Rodriguez.
Diaz de la Portilla's brother Renier, also a former House member, wasn't so lucky: He lost to Manny Diaz, Jr., in a Republican primary in District 103.
Other former lawmakers who were successful in House races Tuesday included former Rep. Bruce Antone, who won a Democratic primary in District 46 in the Orlando area and does not face a general-election opponent. Also, former Republican Rep. Frank Farkas, of St. Petersburg, cruised to an easy win in District 68, though he still faces a general-election fight against Democrat Dwight Dudley.
Also, while not quite a former lawmaker, term-limited Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, crushed two opponents in the Republican primary in House District 36. Fasano faces only a write-in opponent in November.

Inquiry Question
Reading 2: Early 19th-Century Wheat Farming Near Waterford
John Jay Janney, a distant cousin of Waterford founder Amos Janney, was born in 1812 near the Quaker settlement of Goose Creek, about 10 miles south of Waterford. Ninety-five years later, in Ohio in 1907, Janney penned his memories of his childhood. In addition to writing about all facets of life in Loudoun County in the 1820s, he outlined the farmer's duties regarding his crops for an entire year. The portions concerning wheat are excerpted here and describe farming activities similar to those around Waterford.
After [corn] harvesting was over [in the autumn], we plowed for next year's wheat crop, and when the ground was ready for sowing we hauled all the manure from the barn yard and the hog pen, usually a good supply and scattered it over the poorest part of the field....
Questions for Reading 2
1. In what season was the wheat planted near Waterford? When was it harvested?
2. Who carried the sheaves for shocking?
3. What was the pay for a farm laborer's day of work in the 1820s in Virginia?
4. How might we describe today the "illness" Mr. Janney experienced while treading out wheat?
5. Did farmers get much money for their wheat? Explain your answer.
6. What does the reading indicate the miller might have received for his work?

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. plans to warn parties in its arbitration hearings against using electronic devices to secretly record and transmit the proceedings.
The warning was sparked by complaints from the Securities Experts' Roundtable Inc., a group of expert witnesses, about several instances of "electronic eavesdropping" where witnesses were surreptitiously recorded and their testimony apparently made available to others outside the hearing rooms.
In a September letter to Finra, the Roundtable described three instances in which its members had encountered eavesdropping.
The group asked Finra to create policies and issue guidance about the practice.
"It's a private forum," Jeffrey Schaff, president of the Roundtable and founder of Ardor Fiduciary Services Ltd. in Northfield, Ill., said in an interview. "It's a controlled forum [where] people sign in, sign out and there are some facts [presented] that some witnesses are not allowed to hear."
In its letter, the Roundtable also noted that allowing outsiders to view a hearing could give one of the parties the ability to benefit from the assistance of unnamed co-counsel.
Finra told Mr. Schaff in a letter this month that the regulator would be "educating our [arbitrators] about this concern" in an upcoming article in its "Neutral Corner" newsletter for arbitrators and mediators.
The article should be out by the March issue, Finra spokeswoman Michelle Ong wrote in an email.
"Anything that would give an unfair advantage to one side would not be allowed" by arbitrators, Ms. Ong said. In its letter, Finra also said it will consider changes to the opening script that arbitrators use to "alert parties to the importance of seeking approval of the other participants and the arbitrators before attempting to transmit or record the proceedings."
Mr. Schaff said he welcomed Finra's response.
"When you're at hearing, you're not paying attention to what the parties are doing with their electronic devices," he said.

RIPE NCC in Danger
- Date: Tue, 16 Sep 1997 14:27:31 +0200
Dear colleagues, more than a week ago we have published the RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Charging Scheme. We have also asked for nominations of persons to serve on the RIPE NCC Association's Executive Board. Up to now there has been very little feedback to us and no public discussion whatsoever. A total of 1 (one) person has been nominated for the Executive Board. Only 13 of currently 796 contributors have so far registered for the contributors committee meeting; that is less than 2% of the contributors. I tend to interpret this data optimistically and conclude that you all are basically happy with what the NCC is doing and how it is done. Thus you see no point to make the time it takes to take part in the governance of the RIPE NCC. If this interpretation is true the vote of confidence is flattering. However it would be very nice to hear it explicitly rather than implicitly. This would make the NCC stand stronger and make the concept of industry self-regulation all the more stronger. Given the low number of nominations, there is a real danger now that we will not be able to elect a strong and competent executive board. It has become very likely that the executive board will be elected in an ad-hoc fashion at a meeting of a very few contributors and that there is no public discussion prior to that election. This bears the danger of electing persons who do not really have the necessary time and/or expertise available to them. This will make the NCC weaker. NCC management needs the executive board as a strong partner in developing the NCC. I am personally quite concerned that the lack of interest in the governance of the NCC may lead to difficulties in the long run. Minorities and/or special interests might gain disproportionate influence. The NCC itself may take up momentum in directions the majority of the contributors do not want. Once this has happened it is can be very difficult to correct. The amount of effort needed to keep something on track is far less than to put it back on track after it has derailed. I urge all of you to take more of an active interest in these matters and to nominate proficient people to serve on the executive board. We would also appreciate feedback and discussion about the documents published, in particular the 1998 Activity Plan and Charging Scheme. More information can be found at http://www.ripe.net/meetings/contrib/ which contains meeting details and pointers to the relevant documents and at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/archives/ncc-co/current which contains an archive of the relevant e-mail messages in case you have missed them. Thank you very much for your consideration. Daniel Karrenberg RIPE Community Member RIPE NCC Manager

We are committed to conducting our business responsibly in all of our local communities
Community engagement and charitable action is an important part of our culture. Over the past few years we have been changing the balance of our activities to improve colleague engagement, to emphasise charities in our field of education and to develop global charitable partnerships.
During the last financial year, 248 Press people around the world gave their time to schools, charities and other organisations. Colleague fundraising, combined with Press donations, amounted to more than £57,500 for a wide range of charities, and nearly 76,000 books were donated to many worthwhile causes.
UK Volunteering
- 168 colleagues took part in enterprise days with local schools, mentored students and helped Rowan Humberstone, our Charity of the Year.
- The Press Board went back to school for an Enterprise Day at North Cambridge Academy, helping students develop business ideas and create a pitch to the Board and their whole year group.
- 76 students attended interview workshops at the Press. These sessions helped the students increase their confidence by providing a realistic interview experience and giving them constructive feedback.
- 6 teams volunteered at Wildlife Trust sites.
Recent News
On Tuesday, 11 September, the Education Reform team took part in a Wild at Work Day at the Wildlife Trust's Grafham Water site in Cambridge.
The day involved painting a bird hide, digging holes, handling and nailing timber together and cutting back willow to improve the view from the hide. Maintaining these hides benefits the local wildlife as it minimises the disturbance to the nesting birds.
Catarina Constancia, team lead on the day, said:
'A few people were nervous before the day because they weren't 'outdoorsy' and didn't know what to expect but once we got there and met the guides, everyone worked brilliantly together – it couldn't have gone any better.
It was definitely an amazing way to build up team morale and we were all surprised by how well everyone worked as a team - 10/10, would recommend.'
The Wildlife trust were pleased to pass on their grateful thanks to all the team following the successful activity day, they even requested to feature (the above) a photo of the team in their winter magazine, Local Wildlife.
World Book Day
Local schools took part in a careers carousel, giving them insights into apprenticeships, design, digital, education reform, legal and marketing, as well as tips on applying for jobs. World Book Day offers us a fantastic opportunity to support widening participation at the Press, encouraging young people who might never have thought about publishing before, to realise how much we do here, and the openings that are increasingly available for young people, including through apprenticeships and internships.
Work Experience
42 students took part in work experience across various teams.
UK Fundraising
- Colleagues raised £10,574, £9,692 of which was matched by the Press.
- A further £4,420 was raised by colleagues via crowd funding to support colleagues affected by the earthquake in Mexico. This amount was matched by the Press, with an additional donation of £3,000 going to the UNICEF relief fund.
- Colleagues supported 27 charities, with 24 methods of fundraising: marathons, whisky tasting, book sales, a Land's End cycle ride and a Clipper Race.
- £14,350 was donated through Give as you Earn.
- £176 was donated through Change for Charity.
UK Charity of the Year, Rowan Humberstone
Rowan Humberstone is a Cambridge based charity and arts centre for people with learning disabilities. This was our first of two years working with Rowan as our UK Charity of the Year.
- Colleagues raised £2,284, £2,074 of which was matched – a total of £4,358. Together with a futher Press donation of £10,000, Rowan received almost £15,000.
- 5 colleagues helped improve Rowan's garden.
- Academic colleagues raised £375 (£751 with matched funding) through their regular book sale.
- A whisky tasting event raised £1,035, which was matched.
- We hosted a performance at the Cass Centre, Through The Cloud I Can See You. An audience member said 'The performance by the Rowan students was heart-warming, inspiring and funny. They delivered their stories openly and with quiet determination. Their achievements are terrific and a testament to the ethos that Rowan holds.'
Australia and New Zealand
In June, the Melbourne office hosted Australia's Biggest Morning Tea and raised $220 AUD for the Cancer Council charity. Cancer Council is the only Australian charity to work across every area of cancer, from research to prevention and support.
In August, the team raised $1080 AUD which enabled them to donate an assortment of Raspberry Pi computers, game controllers and workbooks to a village in rural Zambia. Girls Can Code aims to give girls from rural secondary schools the opportunity to attend technology camps to learn the basics of coding from a team of volunteers who include teachers, aid workers and IT professionals.
In December, the team held a raffle at their Christmas Party and raised $225 for The Smith Family. The Smith Family is a national charity helping young Australians in need to get the most out of their education, so they can create better futures for themselves.
Cambridge University Press and Cambridge Assessment colleagues in the Manila office joined forces to make blood donations, to help alleviate the low blood supply within the country since late last year. They partnered with the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) – Makati Chapter, a non-profit, donor-funded, volunteer and humanitarian organisation, to facilitate the event.
South Africa
- On Mandela Day, July 18th, colleagues packed balanced meals for pre-school children for Rise against Hunger.
- The office hosted 11 interns in roles that lasted between three and six months, working with Marketing and Production teams.
The Thai team donated 6,000 THB to the Thai Heart Foundation. Qualified trainers gave the whole team a half day lesson about Basic Life Support (CPR, AED & Choking). The money donated will be used for producing the CPR manikins for public training and also to help poor patients who have heart diseases in Thailand.
100 copies of Cambridge Advance Learner's Dictionary were donated to Ploenchit Fair in November 2017. The British Community in Thailand Foundation for the Needy (BCTFN) has organised Ploenchit Fair to raise money supporting many Thai charities for 60 years.
26 books were donated to Satang Mongkolsuk Library in July 2017.
The New York team selected PENCIL as their local educational charity. PENCIL works with the business community, organising activities and bringing together the best ideas, talent and resources to support students from all backgrounds to reach their full potential.
PENCIL received a donation of $5,000 from the Press in December 2017. Then in March 2018, 20 students from the Humanities and Arts High School were invited for a day in the office. Over 30 colleagues participated in a range of volunteer-led activities that included presentations of the publishing process, discussions about personal and professional development, a workshop on CV creation, and two rounds of mock interviews. This summer they look forward to sponsoring four student interns also through PENCIL.

Rescue! EMTs on the Job
by Rachel Owen
Four emergency helicopters clatter overhead as they approach a serene mountain lake. One lands on a narrow strip of gravel beach, and within minutes its crew loads a patient and the chopper lifts off again. Another circles high above fir trees, waiting for its turn to load. Campers and boaters watch from a safe distance, shielding themselves from the dust and small pebbles blown into the air as the choppers land and take off.
Two cars on a highway too narrow to have a line painted down the center have collided head-on. Nine volunteer emergency medical technicians, including me, and two ambulances have come as far as 18 miles to assist. Two patients are bleeding profusely and one is unconscious. Two others are less than fully conscious. We load each into a helicopter according to the severity of his or her injuries. The fourth helicopter is loaded 70 minutes after the initial call for help, and the ambulance leaves with the last two patients for a 95-minute drive to the hospital. Their injuries are not life-threatening.
The key to saving lives is quick response. But in some locations, getting a patient to a treatment facility within "the Golden Hour" can be quite a challenge.
I am part of a medical response team in a northern California county so sparsely populated that it doesn't have even one stoplight. Trinity County, larger than the state of Rhode Island, has only 13,000 year-round residents and features thick forests, rocky canyons, and twisting rivers. Many residents live on remote dirt roads in the mountains, where there is no phone or electric service. Our organization is officially known as Southern Trinity Area Rescue, but everyone in the area calls us STAR. We are a network of 17 emergency medical technicians (EMTs) who volunteer to be on call several days each month, staying within earshot of the phone, or carrying a two-way radio so that we're ready to respond to an emergency at a moment's notice.
But what happens once we get the call? It is our job to recognize potentially life-threatening conditions and to respond automatically. We are trained to provide basic pre-hospital life support and medical care to the sick and injured. We provide oxygen to the lungs and control bleeding when necessary. We all know how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and we use an automatic electronic defibrillator when a heart stops. We do not do any kind of surgery, and the only "drug" we can give a patient is oxygen. It is our responsibility to stabilize the patient and provide or arrange safe and efficient transportation to a hospital or trauma center.
Oxygen Comes First
In the business of saving lives, the focus is ultimately on one thing: oxygen. Brain damage from lack of oxygen can begin in just four minutes, and is almost certain to occur after 10. It only takes a 10 percent loss of blood in 10 minutes to cause hypoxia, a condition in which cells in the organs of the body begin to die from lack of oxygen. With this in mind, it is the EMT's highest priority to ensure the patient's supply of oxygen.
Oxygen is supplied to the body by two systems. The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body and the circulatory system carries it throughout the body. The cycle begins with a breath. As the lungs fill, the air enters alveoli, small air sacs lining the inside of the lung. Small capillaries filled with blood lie near the surface of the alveoli. Only two thin layers of tissue separate the blood cells from the air. In a process known as diffusion, the blood cells collect oxygen molecules from the air and release carbon dioxide molecules into it.
Meanwhile, the double pumping action of the heart keeps the blood moving. The left side draws oxygenated blood from the lungs and pushes it through the heart to all parts of the body through arteries. Every living cell of the body combines oxygen with glucose (a sugar) to create energy. This chemical reaction, called metabolism, has two byproducts, water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide replaces the oxygen in the blood, and the right side of the heart pumps the blood through the veins back to the lungs, where the cycle begins again.
Damage to either the respiratory or circulatory system can threaten a life. Two STAR EMTs recently treated a healthy man in his late twenties who was experiencing chest pain and difficulty breathing. These are classic heart attack symptoms, so a helicopter was dispatched and the man was immediately put on oxygen. At the trauma center, doctors discovered spontaneous pneumothorax, a condition in which a weak spot in the wall of the lung tears unexpectedly. Air was leaking into his chest cavity as one lung gradually collapsed, decreasing his oxygen intake. He was heading toward hypoxia. Fortunately, emergency surgery repaired the tear and the man recovered.
On the Road or in the Air
A helicopter can often pick up a patient and return to the trauma center in our region within 70 minutes. An ambulance, on the other hand, would take at least that long to get to the hospital, even from the edge of our 1,300-square-kilometer (500-square-mile) territory. The helicopter has another advantage, too. It's staffed with a nurse and paramedic, who can perform more advanced techniques than we EMTs, such as administering intravenous drugs.
A few years ago at our local rodeo, a 12-year-old boy dislocated his shoulder when he was thrown from a bull. The dislocation was extremely painful and his arm was locked in position above his head as if he were reaching up. This wasn't life-threatening, but it became obvious that his arm was in danger when we tested his capillary refill. To do this, you squeeze the tip of a finger, pressing on the nail. The nail bed turns white when you squeeze, and then should return to pink within two seconds after you let go. This boy had no capillary refill. The cells in his hand were not receiving adequate oxygen and his arm was at risk. A helicopter arrived in just 15 minutes, kicking up considerably more dust than the herd of horses running in the rodeo ring. Doctors were able to move the arm to its normal position and circulation was restored.
Luck saved a life one beautiful summer day at our lakeside festival. Two teenagers began some dangerous clowning around on Jet Skis near shore. The worst happened when one teen fell into the water and was hit in the head by the other's Jet Ski. The ambulance and several EMTs just happened to be right there, distributing health information at the festival. A helicopter was dispatched immediately. The brain, like any other tissue, can swell or bleed when injured. This swelling can create dangerous pressure within the confines of the skull, which forces the entire organ toward the brain stem at the base of the skull. The brain stem is the controlling center for virtually all functions necessary for life, including respiration. The boy was given oxygen to slow the swelling and protect his brain stem. He received emergency brain surgery at the trauma center—and survived.
In all these cases, fast action was critical. Would you know what to do in a respiratory or circulatory emergency? A CPR class can teach you how to keep oxygen circulating even after the heart stops. Your local Red Cross can tell you when classes are offered in your area.
- circulatory system:
- The organ system that carries oxygen to the body and removes carbon dioxide and other wastes.
- respiratory system:
- The system of air passages through which a living thing breathes.
- Write a paragraph that describes how the process of respiration occurs inside the body.
Answer: A person breathes in air. The air fills the lungs and enters the alveoli. Through the process of diffusion, oxygen molecules enter the blood cells. The left side of the heart draws the oxygenated blood from the lungs, through the heart, and into the arteries. Oxygen is delivered to the cells, where it reacts with glucose to create energy. Carbon dioxide then replaces oxygen in the blood, and the right side of the heart pumps this blood back to the veins. The veins take this blood to the lungs, where the carbon dioxide is released through the lungs.
- What do a collapsed lung and deforestation have in common? Write a couple of sentences to explain your answer.
Answer: Answers should include that a collapsed lung prevents a body from receiving enough oxygen. Deforestation also decreases the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.

Aussies scored their third lowest total score against England at Perth today, on opening day of third battle of Ashes, where England bowling department mesmerized them and continued their governance. Anderson and Tremlett was the pair who pushed Australia back to the drawing board by mammoth bowling skills. Both devastators crushed Australian top order and restricted them on 268 all out in their first inning.
England won the toss and chose to field, England blessed their fans by their vigorous performance once again at that stage when they got five Australian wickets on just 69 runs before the tea. Man in dangerous form Michael Hussey (61) produced a remarkable partnership of 68 runs with Brad Haddin ( 53) to re-arrange his team's momentum, which has been lost after dispersal of second test. Mitchel Johnson on drastic times call, followed his head honchos and invigorated Australia by his vital inning of 62 runs. Only these three good samaritans fought bravely in front of visitors horrible bowling arts and carried their team on 268 runs.
James Anderson claimed three wickets including Ricky Ponting and danger Haddin, whereas his partner Chris Tremlett also picked three wickets for 63 runs in 23 overs. Mitchel Johnson hunted by Steven Finn, who got two wickets today and Graeme Swann was the man who got crucial wicket of Hussey.
Englishmen at the drop of a hat in Perth
England currently hold the Ashes, can Australia win them back? As it turns out, no.

This trial tests the safety and effectiveness of the early use of combinations of anti-HIV drugs in HIV-infected infants and young children in an effort to block virus growth and preserve normal immune functions.
Various anti-HIV drug combinations need to be tested in order to find the best way to treat infants and children who have been infected with HIV during birth.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Drug: Abacavir sulfate Drug: Nelfinavir mesylate Drug: Nevirapine Drug: Lamivudine Drug: Stavudine Drug: Zidovudine
|Phase 2
This study examines the antiretroviral activity of ZDV/3TC/NVP in vertically-infected infants and children aged 15 days up to 2 years, and ZDV/3TC/NVP/ABC in vertically-infected infants and children aged 30 days up to 2 years. This study will assess HIV-1 and CD4/CD8 T-cell kinetics, activation, and maturation. It will also test the concept that early (younger than 3 months of age) use of potent, combination antiretroviral therapy will allow the long-term control of viral replication with preservation of normal immune function. [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/11/98: This study will also examine the antiretroviral activity of ZDV/3TC/NVP/NFV in vertically infected infants and children.]
This is a 2-part Phase I/II, open-label trial in HIV-infected infants. Part A assesses the triple combination of ZDV, 3TC, and NVP. Four to eight patients are enrolled in each age cohort (Cohort 1: at least 15 days, no more than 3 months; Cohort 2: over 3 months, no more than 2 years). Part B assesses the quadruple combination of ZDV, 3TC, NVP, and ABC. Eight patients are enrolled in each age cohort (Cohort 3: at least 30 days, no more than 3 months; Cohort 4: over 3 months, no more than 2 years). [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/11/98: This study is now a 3-part Phase I/II trial. Parts A and B are as above. Part C will assess the quadruple regimen of d4T, 3TC, NVP and NFV. Up to 8 patients will be enrolled in each age cohort (Cohort 5: at least 15 days, no more than 3 months; Cohort 6: over 3 months, no more than 2 years). If 3 of 4 patients in either cohort of Part B do not achieve plasma RNA less than 1,000 copies/ml after 16 weeks of quadruple therapy, enrollment of patients to that cohort will stop and enrollment of 8 patients to the corresponding cohort in Part C will begin. For Part C, patients whose RNA level is no more than 1,000 copies/ml at Week 16 will remain on assigned treatment until Week 104. If at any time between Weeks 16 and 104 a patient's RNA level increases to greater than 1,000 copies/ml, plasma RNA will be repeated within 1 week. If both RNA levels are greater than 1,000 copies/ml, the patient will discontinue study treatment and be followed every 12 weeks for 1 year.] [AS PER AMENDMENT 4/14/99: The study has been extended for an additional 96 weeks for children with continued suppression of viral replication (RNA less than 400 copies/ml) at Week 104. If at any time between Week 12 or 16 and Week 200 a patient's RNA level increases to greater than 1,000 copies/ml, plasma RNA will be repeated within 1 week. If both RNA levels are above 1,000 copies/ml, the patient will discontinue treatment for best available therapy and be followed every 12 weeks for 1 year following the discontinuation of study treatment.] [AS PER AMENDMENT 9/16/99: An additional cohort (Cohort 7) of 5 to 10 patients has been added. Cohort 7 includes patients between 15 days and 3 months of age. Cohort 7 patients who experience suppression of viral replication at Week 104 are followed through Week 200.]

ATLANTA (AP) - Gov. Nathan Deal has signed legislation to lower grade requirements for recipients of the HOPE Grant program, which helps students attending the state's technical colleges.
Deal signed the bill during a Wednesday event at the Technical College System of Georgia's annual leadership summit.
Deal says the bill works to strengthen the state's workforce, saying "we need more college or technical college degrees in order to attract and fill the jobs of tomorrow."
The bill returns the qualifying grade point average to 2 .0 after it was raised to 3.0 two years ago because of budgetary concerns. In the years since, there was a notable decline in enrollment.
The governor's office says recent growth in lottery revenues, which fund the program, will cover the additional $5 million to $8 million cost.

Ancient Cyprus in the British Museum
Edite by Thomas Kiely
The southern coast of Cyprus is dominated by the dramatic foothills of the Troodos mountains, which, in many places, extend almost down to the sea. As a result of thousands of years of erosion, the countryside here resembles an almost lunar landscape of dramatically shaped but often barren hills. Despite the somewhat inhospitable appearance of the landscape, especially during the arid summer months, these foothills are dissected at regular intervals by numerous river valleys. For millennia they have supplied precious sources of water for settlers exploiting small pockets of arable land but also provided easy access to the diverse natural resources of the upland areas.
The Maroni (or Ayia Minou) river valley, approximately 35km south-west of Larnaka, is one such drainage system, which has been a focus for human settlement from the seventh millennium BC down to the present day. Although the modern landscape, particularly the relatively featureless coastal plain, betrays little direct sign of this long sequence of occupation, over a century of archaeological investigation has revealed a fascinating human story.
This chapter of the Ancient Cyprus in the British Museum Online Research Catalogue explores just part of this long story. It is based in particular on almost 200 objects excavated at the vibrant Late Bronze Age (1650–1050 BC) harbour settlement located south-east of the modern village at a place called Tsaroukkas. These were excavated by a team from the British Museum in 1897. A small group of objects of Chalcolithic and Bronze Age date collected by the same team between the villages of Kalavasos and Mari is also described here. Under the antiquities legislation of the time, approximately two-thirds of the finds from the 1897 campaign were allocated to the British Museum. The remaining objects were assigned to the Cyprus Museum.
Furthermore, we have included some artefacts that are said to come from the area of Maroni or Mari, acquired by late 19th-century collectors or excavators such as Luigi Palma di Cesnola, Max Ohnefalsch-Richter and Charles and Percy Christian.
The objects from the 1897 excavations are mainly burial offerings placed in tombs with the dead, but also include some items from the contemporary settlement whose buildings were overlooked by the 19th-century diggers. The grave goods comprise a rich selection of painted pottery (especially Mycenaean imports), glass and faience, ivory, jewellery and seal-stones. They illustrate many aspects of the social life, economy and religious beliefs of the community who lived here in the second half of the second millennium BC, particularly the élite classes. Some of the objects were imported from other parts of the eastern Mediterranean, particularly the Aegean, Egypt or the Levant.
Apart from representing typical grave goods of the better off members of the community, these objects cast light on the trading contacts and wider cultural relationships of the local population. These connections contributed to the prosperity of the Maroni region during the Late Bronze Age. Two terracotta boat models were found during these excavations, one of which was originally filled with knucklebones used for gaming or fortune-telling. These finds are richly evocative of the maritime outlook of Maroni's cosmopolitan population and a telling symbol of its role as a major Late Bronze Age harbour town and entrepôt.
Modern excavations and surveys in the area since the 1980s have dramatically expanded our knowledge of the area in ancient times, particularly the numerous settlement sites overlooked in 1897. This chapter, therefore, provides some introductory essays on the area in antiquity, especially during the Late Bronze Age, to help the reader to understand the older discoveries in the light of modern archaeological research. The production of this chapter has been greatly aided by the valuable input of our colleagues from the Maroni-Vournes excavations and the Maroni Valley Archaeological Survey Project, especially Gerald Cadogan, Sturt Manning and David Sewell. They shared their knowledge at a special study day convened at the British Museum in December 2008 in order to discuss the campaign of 1897 in the context of new discoveries. We would like to thank them for their support, advice and expertise and for kindly providing maps and images for inclusion in this chapter. We would also like to thank Alison South, the excavator of Kalavasos-Ayios Dhimitrios, for providing similar assistance.
