Fresh Air Weekend: Jonah Lehrer, Sonja Sohn
Originally published on Sat March 24, 2012 10:24 am
Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors, and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
Fostering 'Creativity' In The Workplace: Companies like 3M allow their employees to have an hour a day to do whatever they want: work on a side project or tinker with a hobby. In doing so, they're helping their employees become more creative — and increasing their productivity, says science writer Jonah Lehrer in his new book, Imagine.
Sonja Sohn: Changing Baltimore Long After 'The Wire': For five seasons, actress Sonja Sohn played Detective Shakima "Kima" Greggs on the critically acclaimed HBO series The Wire, which chronicled life and death on Baltimore's toughest streets. When the series ended, Sohn stayed in Baltimore — to help young people straighten out their lives.

What do you think happens after physical death?
After having a parent pass, I'm so curious about the afterlife... if there is one or not.
Joshua Bond
Oct 13 2013: After death we continue our journey, but in a different setting. And that new setting will be one that is supportive of our continued evolution in consciousness.

My mother died this year, my father 25 years ago; and it is clear to me that both of them just went somewhere else, and are continuing on.
Mike Colera
Oct 13 2013: Hi,
- +2
At my age, I am familiar with the loss of parents, siblings and friends. I have been considering all the claims made about what happens after life as we know it.
There are those that say... when you're gone, you're gone. These same people have savaged religion, spiritually and faith.
When challenged, they shrill "prove it".
Then there are others who address this life as a journey to reach a spiritual heaven. When challenged, a number of people, who have experienced near death experiences are quite descriptive of those experiences.
I myself had one experience in witnessing an actual passing where after the breathing ceased there was a period of time and it seemed to me that the body started to deflate... like air leaking out of balloon. The body didn't actually shrink into a crumpled pile of course, it was more like an sense that something happened.
So, is there an afterlife.... honestly, I don't know and probably won't until it is my time to pass.
Will I pass into a heaven of glory and joy for all eternity or will everything just go black forever.
As a pragmatist, I will live like there is a heaven for there is nothing to loose.
Oct 13 2013: You look pretty young Mike....perhaps you have a long life ahead:>)Oct 21 2013: A pragmatist eh? Descartes tried to weigh the soul (or, more specifically, the res cogitans) by comparing the body weight of the same person when they were alive and when they had died. He concluded bodies were lighter after death. Proof that the soul has measurable weight, or proof that death affects the composition of gases in the body?
Oct 21 2013: Yes...
Anna Heim
Oct 13 2013: After the human body dies, The soul goes to sleep in the earth (irrespective of whether the body is buried or cremated), and the spirit returns to it's angelic state and ascends and goes to what I call "the other side or spirit world". I have absolutely no doubt at all that there is life after death and that in that life we retain a sense of who we are, who we loved and the life that we lived... and this is why...

In January 2013, I lost my husband of 30-years in very tragic and unexpected circumstances, I won't bore you with the details of the circumstances - what I can and will tell you is that after his physical death, I stayed with his body for about 15 - 20 minutes after he passed. As you can imagine I was utterly inconsolable, then at some then as my son, led me out of his cubical at the hospital, I turned to look back at my husband as he lay there for a few moments more, in those moments I saw an amazing thing which I didn't understand at the time... It took a couple of hours to process what I had seen. What I saw was my husband spirit ascend from his body - I have to tell you, his spirit was magnificent, pure gold, with a burning white at it's core, and not a blemish or shadow to be seen anywhere in his new being ... We looked at each other his spirit and me, and there was a sort of communion which even now I can not put into words.. I turned again to leave the cubicle, took one step and turned again, his spirit then nodded to me, and then he was gone.
I also believe that my husband in his now angelic or spiritual state watches over me and our children. On occasion I get a feeling he is here with me. My mum who I had issues with passed almost 4 years ago - since my husbands passing she has visited me once in my dreams.
Oct 13 2013: Dear Anna,
I am very sorry about your loss, and very glad you came to TED to exchange ideas with us.....welcome.
While doing hospice care, volunteering in a terminal care facility, I have been with people as they were going through the dying process. Although I have never seen the spirit, I and everyone who has been with someone as they die, agree that there is a change in the energy in the room.
I'd like to tell you a lovely story.....
There was a lovely little lady in the care facility where I volunteered, who had her pet parakeet with her in the room. The bird was in a cage at the bottom of her bed, and always very quiet. I was sitting with her as she was actively dying (organs shut down in a predictable way), and she was in and out of consciousness.
All of a sudden, the bird started squawking, flapping it's wings, and getting very excited. The little lady opened her eyes, smiled, and said "my mother is here with us, and she's standing right by the bird cage". This little lady was in her 90s, and her mother had been dead for many years. She closed her eyes again, the bird calmed down, and she passed on.
My mother was my primary teacher/guide when she was alive. She died 22 years ago, and I can still feel her energy with me.
I had a near death experience (NDE) 23 years ago, and the energy that powers the body left.....almost for good.....not quite! Some people call this energy spirit or soul, I perceived it as energy.
Oct 13 2013: Thank you for your sympathies and thank you for sharing your experiences as a volunteer in a terminal care facility. My sister also works in a terminal care unit and she has been a fantastic support during these horrendous months since my beloved passed, and has had some of her own interesting experiences about what she has witnessed as an "end of life" carer. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you.
Oct 13 2013: Thanks for your reply Anna, and my heart goes out to you for your loss.
. .
Oct 13 2013: I am truly sorry that you lost a parent. When you have some real time to sit down comfortably, watch this brilliant presentation. It does provide a clue as to what might be after here......

May you always feel connected to peace dear Alexandra and to love.
~ I send you a big warm hug♡
Oct 13 2013: Jill Bolte Taylor's talk is wonderful, and it was a reference to that talk by a friend that brought me to TED years ago:>)Oct 13 2013: After your body 'dies', your consciousness goes to the same place your thoughts go after you have them.
Your 'consciousness' is timeless, space-less and dimensional-less.
It doesn't exist in time and space and dimension, so it can't be found there.
It is a subjective experience and the only way to know it is to 'know thyself.'
We are energy,. If that is what spirit is then we are spirit energy or energy of the spirit.
I now think this is true: we are all sharing one conscious process, one consciousness and it
is the same conscious process just as if we were all one drop of water in the ocean
that rose up out of it for a short period of 'time', but feels long to the drop, before it drops back
into the one conscious process of the ocean.
They cannot be separated.
So once the drop falls back into the ocean it is falling back into a vast (nothingness so to speak) of
infinite potential or possibilities to be thrown out again at some time into conscious awareness.
Same with our consciousness. We go back into a vast nothingness which is all potential to be something
at some moment.
Make sense? No? Oh, okay.
Vijay Kumar
Oct 13 2013: Alexandra... as detailed in scriptures of Hinduism, we were primarily a spirit, a soul atman on its cosmic life cycle of 8.4 million manifestations that entailed an earthly journey of 96.4 million years. Of 8.4 million manifestations, the last 1.1 million manifestations occurred in human form. After death of human body... our soul atman, the spirit within again manifested a new body based on residual balance of karma of that moment.
- +1
If the residual balance of karma demands our soul atman manifesting a form in the house of a businessman, one just could not be born a Prince. At every stage of life... karma was governing! As our karma... accordingly unfolded our destiny! Only if matching parents were not available on mother earth, the soul atman hibernated in heaven or hell (Swarga and Naraka in Hinduism). In heaven... if the residual balance of karma was positive and hell, if negative!
Both heaven and hell existed in sun... heaven in the core of sun where temperatures exceeded millions of degrees centigrade and hell in the periphery of sun where temperatures were considerably less. No sooner matching parents became available on mother earth, the hibernating soul atman immediately manifested a new body to start a new cycle of life. This cycle of life after death continues unabated until, we as a soul atman gained absolute purity forever.
Gaining absolute purity by a soul atman meant human beings gaining enlightenment forever (kaivalya jnana in Hinduism). This was a permanent state. The enlightened one finally gained salvation moksha, moment one leaves the mortal frame! The liberated soul atman finally entered kingdom of God (Vaikuntha in Hinduism)...a point of no return. Everything relating to life-and-death is available in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. More on Afterlife - http://www.bhagavadgitasummary.com/Geeta-Chapter-5/Gita-Chapter-5-Verse-14.html

Oct 11 2013: As there is no correct answer for this, everyone will give you their own point of view. That depend on lots of things. At some point we probably will find the true true about afterlife, hope so.
- +1
My point of view is that when you die it will be like falling asleep, for you it will be just minutes, maybe hours, for those alive, might be days, years, millennia and then you will live again, maybe as a person, child, where you wont remember much as you probably don't at the moment, [what's your earliest memory?] or maybe as some other creature, maybe on the other planet.
The true is, I don't know, but that what I think will happen.
I think important thing is to remember that we will all die at some point, Memento Mori.Nov 3 2013: The key word is Spirit - and it is a very misunderstood word. We hear much about the afterlife as some kind of version of our present life, where we recognize each other, wear shimmering clothes, have wings, have our pets with us, and other nonsense. At least, it is to me.
Spirit is what we have that transcends our life. It is exercised by our mind and body, but it does not belong to them. It belongs to all who are affected by it and perpetuate it. At death, our ability to exercise it dies, too. What is left is carried in those whom we've affected - for better or worse. Their memories of our joy, our involvement, our hatred, our problems live in them after we are gone, and how they ignore, deal with, and exercise they way they have been affected with others determines their spirit.
So, concentrate on what was good about them. Let the bad die. Good riddance to evil. If you admired something about them, do the same thing yourself. Do it better. Their spirit lives in you as you choose. If you revere their memory, tell others about them, and let their spirit affect them, too.
If the afterlife is Spirit, where we are one with God, then we are one in spirit when we share what was given to us. The Afterlife isn't off in the ether somewhere, maybe on the other side of Jupiter - it's right here and now as we choose daily to keep their spirit alive.Nov 2 2013: First of all, my regards for your deceased parent. Coming to the topic, there are 2 possibilities for your answer, either afterlife exists, or it doesn't. I am in support of it not exisiting. My reason is as follows-:
When man came to realise that with his intelligence, he has become the most powerful animal on the planet ane that he is at the top of every food chain, he realised that he was still unable to conquor one thing, death. Just as in the fox and grapes story if you've heard it, unable to get the grapes the fox consolidates himself by saying that the grapes are sour, similarly to consolidate himself, man made the concept of afterlife. He consolidates himself by saying that,"I cannot die. I will simply pass on into afterlife."
Considering you, I think you will want to support afterlife because you want to meet with all those friends and families that have left you. I know. It hurts a lot. My regards again.
Well, thats my theory. It doesn't have to be necessarily true but the topic itself is so controversial that we won't get an answer easilyOct 21 2013: As depressing as it may be, I've yet to see any convincing evidence of an afterlife, or an immortal soul for that matter.
Learning to make peace with with, or alternatively, convincing yourself to believe otherwise despite insufficient evidence, is key to continued function without falling into a depression.Oct 21 2013: My condolences on your loss. Regarding the existence of the afterlife, I am living my life by two undeniable facts:
1. The existence of an afterlife implies that I (nor my loved ones) cannot really die.
2. There is no empirical proof whatsoever regarding the existence of an afterlife.
Considering fact #1, it is clear to me that the belief in the afterlife is a comforting thought. This explains why you might want to believe in an afterlife. It also neatly explains why there are so many people who claim that there is an afterlife, despite fact #2. Because what does fact #2 really imply? Like any other theory or hypothesis, claims regarding the afterlife should be backed up by evidence to be believable. No such evidence exists one way or the other. From this, you could conclude that the jury is not out yet: there could be an afterlife, or there could not be. You could do so, but you would be wrong.
Firstly, theories need to be parsimonious, meaning that a theory that makes less assumptions is better. Since a theory that postulates the existence of something /by definition/ has at least one more assumption than a theory that does not postulate the existence of something, it is always less parsimonious. Thus assuming that there is no afterlife is preferable to assuming that there is, because it is more parsimonious.
But I'll do you one better. Besides this, admittedly, rather academic argument, there is also a simple argument against the existence of the afterlife and it is similar to the argument against travelling backwards in time: if it is possible, where are the time travellers from the future? The appeal of the afterlife is great, and many people seek to prove its existence. If the afterlife is real, why has no proof for it turned up in the thousands of years that we have been looking? Does the belief in an afterlife really have much more basis in reality than the belief in unicorns? I'm afraid it doesn't. I honour reality and life, not delusion and death.Oct 18 2013: Aloha Alexandra I am from Kauai which you already know is the spiritual center of the islands. I studied ancient Hawaiian history at KCC and as part of my study I got to interview a descendant of a royal kahuna on Kauai. The interesting part of his story was his visit to their hidden family burial place in a cave on the cliffs of NaPali coast. He spent several days and nights there communing with his ancestors spirits for the purpose of guidance for the future generations of the family. The point is a lot of people think as I do that life goes on after death in another form. A lot of people talk to their dead friends and relatives as if they were still here, usually in solitude to avoid being called crazy. It is not unusual at all for mates to communicate and even feel the presence of a deceased spouse or parent. Quantum physics has a term for this called "entanglement", they do not know how it works but can prove that it does exist.
Timo X
Oct 21 2013: You seem to imply that the entanglement of elementary particles somehow makes it possible to commune with the dead. This is by no means a standard interpretation of (quantum) physics, and it seems that you should provide an apter mechanism and more proof than 'they do not know how it works' before you claim something like that.
- +2
Oct 21 2013: My comments are just that a comment, something to think about. As I said, science does not know how it works they are barely cognizant of it's existence, give them a few years they will discover more. I am simply using it as a stimuli for thought, you will have to discover your own truth and I know you will. Each of has to walk the path and discover our own truth where ever we find it, I cannot do it for you and you cannot do it for me and even if our truths are in direct contradiction that does not mean either is wrong, we are just different.
Oct 21 2013: Quantum entanglement is a theory designed to explain the relationship between quantum and classical physics, and it does not entail speaking to the dead. If you state otherwise, you are wrong (or on thin ice, at the very least). This is because in the end there is only one reality, only one truth. You may have to walk your own path, but that doesn't mean that there are multiple truths. You want proof of that statement? Try believing that walls are not made of solid material and observe the results when you plot your path through one.Oct 21 2013: Well Timo I love your wall example, I walk through walls everyday and so do you, we all do. How do you get into your home? Don't you walk through a wall to get there? Would you like to try another example?
"There are no facts, only interpretations"- Friedrich Nietzsche
Oct 21 2013: I do not, because I'm sure you know very well what I meant. And if you do, that means you chose to reinterpret my example in a way that makes it untrue, i.e. to misrepresent it. That is the same thing you did to the theory of quantum entanglement, so it does not surprise me in the least. Quote Nietzsche all you want, he can't change the nature of reality any more than you can.
"We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires." - Pope Benedict XVI
Oh the irony of quotations.Oct 18 2013: Hi Alexandra,
I believe that the bible gives the correct information regarding life after death.
It seems that our spirits live on for eternity either with God or without God, according to our wishes. This life is basically for deciding which way we want to go.
I expect to recieve a new body, & God to make a new universe to live in. This time around there will be no sadness or tears, as God will be in charge. I believe Jesus Christ is God, & that the bible is His book.
None of us can be 100% sure! but, after much study & consideration, this is what I believe.
:-)Oct 17 2013: Dear Alexandra, very sorry to hear about the loss of your parent. On the other hand I'm happy for your parent that passed from this world to an indescribably better world.
My wife and I had that split experience in 2001 when our daughter suddenly passed away. We were very, very sad to lose her, but happy for her sake to already become and angel.
This is her memorial service, http://webhome.idirect.com/~abraam/documents/Memorial.rtf and there is much more on that website about this life and the next life, as it is in memory of her.
Then there is a book written by someone who lived, consciously, by invitation, in this material world and the spiritual world at the same time. The title is "Heaven and Hell" and the writer is Emanuel Swedenborg.
By this same title there is also a Facebook page which is 'liked' by more than 82,000 people, growing by hundreds a day. This is one of those books that you don't have to start reading on page one, you can select which chapter to read depending on what your interests are. I can safely say, there is no other book on this planet, which describes the spiritual world in this amount of detail.
But please decide for yourself and I wish you many happy hours!Oct 13 2013: It's possible that could be something after. Finding the right anser could be one of the most amazing trips of mind and intelligence through human cultural heritage, by mean, also, of using the question as a tool to exchange ideas with everyone else. An old question,of course, and nobody has still given a response accepted by most. I'll give you mine: I dare say that there is nothing after death, but I'm also afraid to say yes that there is something...

A $7.2 million sewer project will remove 356 northern Allen County households from failing septic systems and help Fort Wayne City Utilities continue its expansion northward in search of new customers.
In a unanimous vote, City Council approved funding Tuesday for a $1.9 million portion of the project, which will provide city sewer access to from Union Chapel Road to neighborhoods as far north as Cedar Canyon Road.
"Some of these residents have been asking for sewers for at least 10 years," said Ric Zehr, chairman of the Allen County Regional Water and Sewer District. "Some of these areas, if you drive through at the right time, the odor is overwhelming" because of septic systems.
County health officials have been pushing for homeowners to get rid of old septic systems, which can lead to sanitary problems when they fail.
Homeowners will pay for most of the project through monthly fees to the sewer district, said Matthew Wirtz, deputy director of engineering for City Utilities.
Once the project is finished, homeowners will pay the district $120 a month – about half of which will go to City Utilities – through 2026, Wirtz said. After that, the homeowners will start paying only City Utilities rates of about $57 a month, he said.
The sewer district will also own the new sewer infrastructure through 2026, and then transfer the ownership to the city once the project has been paid off, Wirtz said.
The city's $1.9 million contribution will fund the construction of a large sewer main that will allow connections to individual neighborhoods.
Wirtz said the new infrastructure – which could last 75 to 100 years – would position City Utilities to pick up thousands of potential customers in the future. Under the city's contract with the sewer district, homeowners who benefit from the project also would give up their right to prevent future annexation by the city, Wirtz said.

It's no surprise that pastels have long been associated with spring (Easter candy, hel-lo!). But, hiding and seeking bunny-inspired treats is one thing; maturely outfitting oneself in these milky hues is another. Head-to-toe crisp white? Easy peasy. All-over aloe green, powder pink, or mellow yellow? Hmm...
And, if you're the type who thinks lavender is best reserved for flower bouquets and scented lotion, we understand your trepidation. That's why we've joined forces with Target to bring you the most affordable and grown-up pastel pieces — you'll want 'em in your arsenal faster than you can say "spring." Ahead, your guide to mastering the pastel palette, inspired by our favorite lady crushes and interpreted by real girls, for real wear.

the racism instinct
(read the book free online - get a copy for your Kindle - read the Reddit AMA)
10,000 years ago something funny began to happen within the human genome. We didn't know it at the time, but minute changes that would haunt every generation to come were slowly and imperceptibly unfolding inside each and every one of our ancestors.
Almost like flipping a switch, what had once been a steady rate of mutation suddenly increased, and "the pace of change accelerated to 10 to 100 times the average long-term rate." These changes were driven at least in part by the development of agriculture, the domestication of both plants and animals. Some human guts retained the ability to digest lactose as adults, others adapted to deal with a grain-heavy diet. Although agriculture wasn't the only factor and there were certainly other forces at play, we do know, without question, that 10,000 years ago mutations in our genome began to accumulate at a pace never before seen in human prehistory.
Life as we'd known it would never be the same.

A discovery from Montana's Hell Creek Formation leads researchers to believe the Triceratops may have been the last dinosaur standing. At 65 million years old, the rhinoceros-like, three-horned Triceratops would be the youngest dinosaur known to man. The dino's age falls into the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) period where scientists believe all non-avian, or non bird-like, dinos became extinct. This finding could prove the "3-meter gap" theory false.
The 3-meter gap theory suggests dinosaurs gradually died out before the K-T event 65 million years ago. Those who support this theory believe a meteor couldn't have killed all the dinosaurs at once because there is a segment free from any fossils. The recent discovery at Hell Creek seems to prove that theory wrong. According to the article on Discovery News, The Hell Creek Triceratops "was not only found within that 3-meter region, but it also exists at the upper reaches of it, proving that at least one dinosaur and presumably more were still alive when the meteorite blasted into Chicxulub, Mexico." Thus, the opposing theory to the 3-meter gap suggests dinosaurs went extinct in masses because a meteor struck their homeland.
Researchers are still discovering fossils of small mammals that lived after the KT event in the Montana area. The mammals, including hoofed condylarths and rodent like multiuberculates, had to adapt and relocate after the dinosaurs went extinct. Why certain creatures survived the K-T extinction may never be known but science suggests their diet had something to do with it. Dinosaur extinction is a mystery waiting to be solved. Archeologists and researchers are continually looking to solve the case, so discoveries like the Triceratops in Montana are helpful pieces added to the puzzle.

I started at WBIR-TV in December 2012 after spending most of my life in the "Land of 10,000 Lakes."
I was born and raised in Alexandria, Minnesota. After studying journalism at DePaul University in Chicago, I landed my first job in television back in my home state at KTTC NewsCenter.
In Rochester, I shot, wrote, edited stories and anchored the 9 o'clock news on Friday nights for our sister station, FOX 47. While at KTTC, I had the chance to interview the King and Queen of Norway, cover Vice President Joe Biden's campaign visit, and report on stories involving the world-famous Mayo Clinic.
In 2011, the Minnesota Associated Press recognized my reporting with a First Place award for a special series on Asian carp and an Honorable Mention for an investigative piece on prostitution and sex trafficking in Rochester which led to the city's largest undercover prostitution sting in years. My report on the dangers of radon in Minnesota and Iowa resulted in a Regional Emmy nomination.
At DePaul University I had the opportunity to work with some amazing journalists, including NBC 5 Political Editor Carol Marin, who started her career at WBIR! My senior year I was named College of Communication's Journalism Student of the Year.
I come home every night to my cats, Bunny Pancake and Jazz Mango (yes, those are their names). I'm excited to explore Knoxville and the surrounding areas. I love a great story and would love to hear yours! You can contact me at email@example.com.

I am looking for some information on electric gokarts. My brother, dad and I currently run a rotax (gas) gokart. We have a spare chassis from a rebuild about a year ago. We had the rotax out last weekend and were throwing around project ideas like we always do.
Given my welding and machining skills, I thought it might be fun to build up an electric kart. If I could figure out the best solution to mate up to the existing gears/axel, we would be golden. Along with the existing chassis, we need a motor, controller and batteries.
The motor of choice seems to be Briggs and Stratton Etek-R.
Here is a soon to be commercial Kart system.
Does anyone have any information or experience building an electric gokart?
Does anyone know of any other commercial electric karts available?

The scooter provides everything else needed - power supply, suspension, aluminum chassis (well, the start of one) and the charging system all in one completely free package. The rear diff is still intact, but the original motor sheared its shaft and is supported outside of its frame (so it's junk). It even has pretty new batteries (like under 6 mo's old).

Today's public practitioners must demonstrate clear understanding in the management of public services and contemporary public policy. They must also be able to offer confident leadership in formulating and implementing appropriate strategies to address them.
The programme provides an opportunity for you to develop your understanding of democratic governance and the challenges of improving performance and co-ordinating public services and governmental processes. You will reflect on the changing demands affecting public organisations locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, building your knowledge base, leadership skills and self-confidence.
This programme builds knowledge, skills and confidence for careers in the health, social care and associated sectors. We also attract international students seeking to learn about modern public service delivery, recent graduates seeking a further career to underpin a future career in the public sector and related sectors king to expand the knowledge base in the public management of health and social care.
The programme can be studied part-time over two / three years or full-time in one year. Modules are scheduled particularly to suit part-time study in taught units on campus. These are usually taught over blocks units of two of three consecutive days at our dedicated postgraduate teaching accommodation at the University of Birmingham. In response to work pressures on hard-pressed practitioners, we also deliver some of our material using online teaching and assessment methods – blending both personal contact when on-campus with the ability to work from home.
Participants may opt for a pay-as-you-go approach rather than apply for a whole programme. Providing you complete the requisite number of core modules, you can develop your programme as you progress through your study – adding flexibility of study with your ability to pay. All requisite modules must be completed within six years.
You can build up a programme by taking the appropriate number of credits for each type of programme: Postgraduate Certificate (60 credits); Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits) or Masters Degree (180 credits).
If you have already completed individual modules as an 'occasional student', these can be counted towards further study.
If you are an employer seeking to send a group of participants or seeking to develop a version of this programme to be delivered at your own premises, please contact Philip Whiteman on special rates and specifications: email@example.com.
Specialist pathways are also available for individuals seeking a more focussed programme in Public Management:
Participants are required to take at least four core modules towards your MSc/PG Dip programme (or three for PG Cert programmes). Beyond that, you can select optional modules taught throughout the College of Social Sciences, that appeal to your interests and to bolster specialisms related to current or future career interests.
Compulsory core modules:
*compulsory for PGCert participants. ** typical Health Service Management Centre modules include: Health Services Management; Health and Health Care Policy; An Introduction to Organisational Development for Health and Social Care; Public and User Involvement in Health and Social Care; Quality and Service Improvement in Health and Social Care.

Our approach to teaching and learning is participant-centred in two ways. First, the programme explores and makes links between the ideas, models and skills for public service and participants' own work experiences and organisational contexts. As a result, participants' contributions, in the form of discussion and exploration of case studies are particularly important and assist in the creation of an educational environment in which a significant component of the learning derives through interactions between programme participants.
Second, we recognise that different individuals learn best in different ways. Some will prefer lecture inputs for the frameworks, theoretical perspectives and challenge to thinking that these can provide. Others will tend to favour the more practical sessions and/or the time spent in syndicates with colleagues exchanging experiences and perspectives on issues under consideration or in addressing specific tasks, case studies and problem-solving.
Typically modules are assessed through a variety of essay-type and project-based assignments. From the outset, we provide participants with clear guidance on assessment work and individualised tutorial support is available throughout the programme to help each participant make the most of their studies with us. Participants studying at Masters level will be expected to write a dissertation – this may be linked to activities at their workplace.
Departments from across the School of Government and Society are all based within the recently refurbished Muirhead Tower. Following a £50million refurbishment, Muirhead Tower offers state-of-the-art teaching and research study facilities including free wifi throughout the building and dedicated study areas for postgraduate research students.
Muirhead Tower comprises 12,000sq.m of floor space between two towers. The tower includes a number of sustainable features including solar shading (known in the trade as brise soliel) to control temperatures, as well as low energy fans; timed lighting to reduce energy waste; natural ventilation systems and a heat source taken from the University's combined heat and power generator.
The space has been designed to create modern, attractive spaces for teaching and research accommodating 150 academic offices, 230 "hubs" for post graduate research students, teaching rooms for up to 100 people and a 200 seat lecture theatre.
Typical paths include career progression within the public sector with the participant's aspirations being more saleable with a supporting qualification. Transferability of skills also supports participants to change organisations or pathways within public and related sectors.
The qualifications will also support postgraduates seeking an entirely new career within the public sector, such as management.

Avaya today announced a set of Collaborative Cloud offerings designed to make it easier for more types of organizations to deploy unified communications (UC), contact center (CC) and video conferencing—all as on-demand services.
The adoption of UC and CC as a service (UCaaS and CCaaS) brings utility-based pricing to cloud-service providers (CSPs) so they can offer varied and flexible packages to many types of clients. This creates new revenue streams for CSPs by allowing them to deliver app integrations, mobile collaboration and multichannel customer service for their customers. And it allows buyers to only pay for the IP-based communications services they want and need.
This makes the burgeoning bring you own device (BYOD) trend easier for enterprises to manage because they can off-load more of the complexities of mobile and BYOD environments to their cloud and service providers, said Bruce MacVarish, Director of Cloud Solutions at Avaya. The offerings enable CSPs to evolve and augment enterprise communications with cloud-based solutions, as well as provide greater interoperability across vendors, domains and protocols, he said.
Santa Clara-based Avaya is carving out four delivery and distribution models for UCaaS and CCaaS: private cloud/on-premises stacks, managed services for service providers, hosted multi-tenancy services for channel players, and a full software-as-a-service (SaaS) cloud capability powered by Avaya focused on the mid-market and smaller organization users.
The video services are more geared toward synchronous video interactions, and not hosted, asynchronous video serving, although Avaya offers both. Think of it as video conferencing as a service on demand, integrating into more mobile devices and therefore business processes.
Avaya's move, like with many evolving cloud models, forms a transition from CapEx to OpEx, utility-based pricing and consumption. It also offers ease and speed in adoption, and a single point of integration for value-added SPs and developers.
I expect to see more SaaS business apps providers and cloud-savvy enterprises integrate Avaya's and other UC services into their web, mobile and cloud offerings. These would include such benefits as click-to-call, customer support interception points, and embedded video conferencing brought directly into more business apps, services and processes.
Hybrid deployments
It will be curious to see how the hybrid deployments of UCaaS and CCaaS are assimilated into other business cloud services as the market matures. Will enterprises and SPs alike seek to embed more UC functions, while themselves controlling the UC stack? Or will communications, like many other business services, be something they expect in any cloud stack? Or what combo of hosting will they prefer in which apps?
A lot of the noise around hybrid cloud fails to take the communications feature and their integration into account. Same for big data: Shouldn't all the unstructured data in communications be part of any analytics mix? How to manage that?
Avaya is now in a controlled release of the solutions, and expects general availability in three to six months, said MacVarish.
Earlier this month, Avaya announced new security enhancements for enterprise collaboration.
In more detail, the new and expanded Avaya offerings for CSPs are:
Avaya Collaborative Cloud solutions also include Avaya Collaboration Pods, a portfolio of cloud-ready, turnkey solutions designed to simplify installation and operations of real-time applications; and the AvayaLive suite of public-cloud based communications and collaboration services.

How about a week or two of summer day camp at the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands?
Animal enthusiasts ages 7 to 12 who attend "Animals Around Us" will learn more about the animals who live in our area, both in the wild and in our backyards. From red tailed hawks to worms to coyotes
and beyond, campers will discover some of the fascinating creatures who share our space. Kids will meet
some of the Museum's live animals and get up-close with its animal specimens each day of camp.
What about exploring how people lived in the past? "Playing with History" camp does just that through hands on experiences like throwing an atlatl, making authentic adobe bricks, learning to dance the Charleston, and much more. Each day of the week will focus on a different era, from ancient times up to the 1950s and 60s. "Playing with History" is also designed for 7 to 12 year olds.
For little campers ages 4 to 7, "Grandma's Attic" offers a special experience playing with old-time toys and activities.
Each day will include activities like playing dress up, singing songs with animal puppets, making butter with an old butter churn, making a whirly gig, and building a box fort. This half-day camp is designed for kids to bring a special adult with them to share the fun. An adult may bring up to three children to "Grandma's Attic".
"Animals around Us" is offered the weeks of July 6 to July 10 and July 20 to July 24.
"Playing with History" will run from July 13 to July 17 and again the week of July 27 to July 31. Camp is Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day.
The cost for each week-long camp is $135.00 for Museum Association members and $155.00 for non-members .
Camp is staffed by experienced museum educators.
"Grandma's Attic" is June 28 to July 1, from 8:30 to noon each day. The cost for children of Museum
Association members is $65.00 and non-member children are $75.00 each. The special accompanying adult is free and may bring up to three children.
Registration forms are available at the Museum and on-line at www.sbcountymuseum.org.

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Buzz Durable with very good compression I'm new to compression clothing and find 2xu to be the best that I've tried. November 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Buzz-heard Best tennis product ever! Jokingly, these socks are holding me together. My medical consultant said compression for my leg veins and leg discomfort: This is compression! I don't take them off! Before, during, after tennis I will wear them. October 22, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by Chacho Calf would be better The problem with the compression is the feet part. The materiel is so thin that after one long run I wore through the bottom. Already has a hole in it. I would recommend the calf compression, not the full foot. October 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by BUCKWHEAT Compressed my worries I've been using these for 3 weeks now. WHAT A DIFFERENCE they make! I run 25-30 miles a week, and I have less calf aches, as well as a quicker recovery from soreness. September 10, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5�by Col A. Too expensive for the results I have problems with my calf muscle when I'm running long distance and I was hoping this would help but it didn't. However, it did provide much needed support. August 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Trailblazing A Blessing In A Geeky Disguise I was a huge sceptic at first, both from a perforance and aesthetic perspective but after being given a pair as a birthday present I am convinced. As a long distance runner who covers 50-60 miles per week and in my late 30's, my calves were starting to cause some issues. In the 2 months I have used these, my calves feel fresh and stable whilst running. It feels like I have more power in each stride and I'm running more consistantly than ever before. I may still look ridiculous but it beats being injured. May 20, 2012

Ashirwad ("Blessings") is a small group of women artisans who work in and around the Kolkata suburbs. The basic objective of the group is the social, economic and psychological well-being of its members, to enable them to provide a better life for themselves and for their families. Ashirwad seeks to upgrade the artisans' skills, and to promote self-reliance and leadership. The group also fosters entrepreneurial skills among artisans, provides education opportunities and encourages the creation of savings accounts. Although they come from Hindu, Muslim and Christian homes, the artisans of Ashirwad share love and respect for each other. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Ashirwad since 1989.
In 1989, Devadson was working with Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) India's child sponsorship program. Through the program, North Americans assist individuals by providing monthly support. As a way of saying thank you to the sponsors, MCC sent a Christmas greeting card with a star to the sponsors. One sponsor wrote back asking, "Why don't you get a group together to make stars?
From there, Devadson and a group of eight women began the journey of forming Ashirwad. Although a compassionate person, Devadson emphasized that it's not a charity. The women need to have skills; training generally takes about one and a half months. Though Devadson doesn't take credit for the women's success, it's her love for people that has kept her going over the years.
"It's not the money that comes in," she says, "but seeing people's lives changed in beautiful ways." She enjoys interacting with people and being exposed to different lives. "When I hear about all that others are facing, it helps me to be grateful for what I have."
Manzabi Khan, is one of the 12 women who had the opportunity to learn from Devadson. She's been a part of Ashirwad since the beginning. Every Thursday, all the women meet at Devadson's home. The women bring their products for quality control, and pick up new supplies. Today, Khan does all of the quality control and helps with training. Working one-on-one with each woman, she checks and measures every item—noticing things that others miss.
Much of Khan's success in life can be linked to her work at Ashirwad. Like many Indian women, she lives for her children. Earnings from the past 19 years were often used for her children's education and family necessities. With an arranged marriage at the age of 15, she dropped out of school in 8th grade after giving birth to her first daughter. She was 16 years old at the time. She now hopes to give to her children the education she was not able to attain. Today, her children are well educated, and all four of them speak English well. Her first daughter was sponsored thru MCC's program and today, that daughter is working on her MBA while holding a part-time job.
Aparna Sarkar has worked with Ashirwad for only two years, but has proved to be a fast learner. Learning from both Devadson and Khan, she now helps teach the other women. Sarkar enjoys the companionship received by working with the other women—in addition to receiving an income.
In order for Ashirwad to continue being a blessing to others in the future, Devadson wants to train someone in the administration work. With the recent larger orders, her next step is to build a larger reserve to hire an administrator.

The Postal Service
With the 8.10 Collaboration, mail is a conduit for art
by Leslie Wylie
Earlier this year, 10 artists from across the country received an empty U.S. Postal Service-issue box on their doorstep. The boxes' sober red-white-and-blue exteriors were brightened by whimsical magic-marker designs, and they were labeled with the following instructions: "Welcome to the 8.10 Collaboration ! Upon receiving this empty box, you need to fill it and send it to one of the other participants/collaborators. Once you receive your filled box, you need to be able to document your entire art-making process. Enjoy and have fun!"
Henceforth, the artists filled their boxes with various items—wads of string, old t-shirts, random photographs and scribbled notes—and launched them, at the flat box-mailing rate of $8.10, onward to their fated destinations. In turn, each was then greeted with newer, heavier boxes on their doorsteps. The boxes' contents were to be beheld as muses.
Artist Mriam Byroade likened the excitement of first sorting through her box to receiving a package from her long-distance boyfriend during college. But what to do with these objects, which seemed bound by no rhyme or reason?
"I wanted to do something to become more acquainted with them first," she reasons in a diary of her own work's process. She had the idea of filming the objects emerging from the box as a stop-motion animation piece, and was pleased with the results. But the animation was merely a means to an end. While moving the objects around, she "got the vision of a painting-sculpture project," and found herself particularly intrigued by the most peculiar of the objects enclosed: a jar of little fish. In a picture on the jar, the fish were shown in a boat on the sea at night.
Byroade decided to literally put the fish into that nighttime boat. She found a large canvas, one she'd already painted on but was dissatisfied with the results, and covered it in shades and textures of black, dimly illuminated beneath a full moon. She built the fish a boat, and put them in it.
It was too intense—the murky waters, the messy darkness, the bravery of the fish. It brought up feelings she hadn't anticipated: confusion, frustration, insecurity. "Yeah," she concluded, "I really don't want my happy little fishy boat to be sucked into all that painting emotional drama." The boat could stay, but the fish had to go: This was one storm she was going to have to sail through alone.
The work kept escalating, inflating with it Bryoade's awareness of her own personal struggles. She stuck with it, unsure of where it would end. She liked what she had created so far, but how could she know if it was finished? "I'm not sure if this is done yet, I'm not sure if I'm done yet," she said, wavering at the end of one day's work.
It's an easy thing to forget, that we call our own shots, that we're the ones in control even when we feel like we've handed our creative energies over to someone or something else. "I've often found the hardest thing to do with art is to know when to stop," Byroade I wrote. "It was complete so quickly and effortlessly that it felt like I cheated, should I have suffered more?"
Perhaps, she concluded, the absence of resistance meant that she was doing something right. She titled the piece, "my journey."
That's a lot to emerge from a box full of seemingly random objects. But it fulfilled the hopes of 8.10 Collaboration curator Amy Joseph when she dreamt up the project. It wasn't about the objects themselves, per se, but the creative process that emerged from their existence. Kind of like tarot cards, wherein it matters less what card you're dealt than what that card means within the context of your own life.
The other nine artists whose work is represented in the exhibition each contribute their own personalities to the discourse.
Erin Brauer takes elements—band-aids, chicken wire, ribbon, a stethoscope—from the photograph she received in the mail and re-incorporates them into her own life. Angela Boykins and Aram Westergreen dismantle a Postal Service box and re-conceive it as a kind of crosshatched collage.
Oftentimes, as in Byroade's animation experiment, the objects require some prodding before they reveal their new possible identities. Jenny and Phil Ballazar spent a great deal of time "exploring the possibilities," as they explain it, of their received objects: a wad of blue string, an expanse of cotton, flower pedals, stones and maps. They suspend the objects in a web from the ceiling, and Jenny is photographed lying on a cotton bed in the bathtub, her body obscured by a tangle of string, pedals and rocks. But these aren't quite right. "Finally, the materials speak," they write, before unveiling their final interpretation: map-paper hearts clinging to Phil's chest. The final product is a composite collage of the "possibilities," their edges seamless and imperceptible.
It's an aesthetically pleasing end product, but it's the process itself Amy Joseph is interested in—what we make of the materials we are given, and how. "The 8.10 Collaboration is about creating everyday art," she explains. "It is our everyday creations that lead to our masterpieces."

With original documentary and interview footage, rare never-before-seen camera angles, and fascinating behind-the-scenes coverage, this presentation features all the key moments of the power-packed, back-and-forth, unforgettable 2002 Fall Classic. This feature-length home video presentation starts with regular-season and playoff highlights for both the Giants and the Angels, including Anaheim's improbable defeat of the four-time defending AL champion New York Yankees in the ALDS, and the stunning emergence of "K-Rod", Francisco Rodriguez.
Then, it's on to the amazing Fall Classic: Barry Bonds' monster blast in his first-ever World Series appearance, helping the Giants to a 4-3 victory in Game 1; Tim Salmon's tie-breaking 8th-inning homer to give the Angels a dramatic 11-10 win; the Angels' record-setting back-to-back bat-around innings in their 10-4 Game 3 victory; San Francisco's victories in Games 4 and 5 that moved the Giants to within a game of the title (including highlights of little Darren Baker almost getting bowled over at the plate); Barry Bonds' legendary blast down a runway in the right-field stands early in Game 6; Anaheim's miraculous, monkey-induced rally from five runs down in the seventh to win Game 6, capped by Troy Glaus' heart-stopping two-run double; and the Angels home-field celebration after beating Livan Hernandez and the Giants in the Game 7 finale.
A true blockbuster presentation, this DVD features rare documentary coverage, audio from all the broadcast teams (Fox's Joe Buck and Tim McCarver; MLB Radio's Gary Thorne and Rick Sutcliffe; ESPN Radio's Jon Miller and Joe Morgan; KLAC's Rory Markas and Terry Smith; and KNBR's Joe Angel, Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper); and exclusive interview clips from managers Mike Scioscia and Dusty Baker, coaches Bud Black, Gene Clines, and Dave Righetti, as well as all the key players (Rodriguez, Glaus, Tim Salmon, Jarrod Washburn, Garrett Anderson, Darrin Erstad, Bengie Molina, David Eckstein, Scott Spiezio, Adam Kennedy, John Lackey, Troy Percival, Kenny Lofton, Russ Ortiz, Benito Santiago, J.T.

Sebastian Vettel has praised Red Bull's hard work after producing his most dominant performance of the season to win in Singapore...
Sebastian Vettel has praised Red Bull's hard work after producing his most dominant performance of the season to win in Singapore.
The triple World Champion extended his lead in the Drivers' Championship to 60 points having beaten Fernando Alonso for the third successive race.
But while one could say Vettel had an easy time of it in Belgium and Italy, that was never more true than this Sunday when he won by a staggering 33 seconds.
"This is a long race so there are a lot of things that can go wrong so you can't afford to lean back," he said.
"At the end I was just controlling the gap. It was hard work out there but we like it because it is one of the most challenging tracks."
In fact the only moment of concern for the Red Bull racer arose at the start and through the first few corners when Nico Rosberg briefly challenged for him the lead.
A mistake from the Mercedes driver, though, allowed Vettel up into the lead and from there he didn't look back.
"The start was quite hairy," the German explained. "Nico had a better start than me but thankfully he went a bit too deep and I was able to recover which was very important.
"The car was incredible and it was a pleasure to drive it round this crazy track."
The 26-year-old, who has won seven of this season's 13 races, now holds a 60-point advantage over Ferrari's Alonso with 150 points still to play for as he chases his fourth successive World title.
He insists his success has little to do with luck and a lot to do with the hard work put in by Red Bull Racing.
"To be honest I am not looking at the Championship too much," he said. "I am just enjoying it at the moment, days like today and yesterday are what it is all about.
"Like I said these things don't happen by accident or by luck, it is down to a lot of hard work from the team."
There was, however, one down side to Vettel's latest triumph as, once again, he was booed by some of the spectators at the Marina Bay circuit.
But rather than get down about it, the German said with a smile: "They're on tour, they go around on a bus."

Step 1: Get some slate first
Yes they are. Caliper brakes are weak and flexible, and rubber and steel are easily parted by a layer of water. Some will even tell you that they are downright dangerous in the rain, and to them I agree. The first way to make sure your brakes are working at their peak potential is to keep your wheels "true" (straight), and set your brakes properly on the rim (I think there's an Instructable on how do do this on this site somewhere). When squeezing the brakes, the front part of the pad should touch the rim first, and the pad should "land" squarely on the rim under hard pressure while the wheel is rotating. Maximum braking power should be achieved without the brake lever coming close to touching the handlebar-grip. For caliper brakes, the calipers shouldn't wobble, but also shouldn't be "sticky" (it's a terrible design, really).
Something you can try is to roughen the rim a little. What you need is a portable drill and a grinding stone (gray-wheel) on it. Using the same method as with the wire-wheel, hold the wheel at a 45-degree angle relative to the braking surface (when looking at the wheel from the side) and use the drill to spin the rim, like the pic below. Don't put too much pressure or you may grind too deep and weaken the rim. As the wheel turns, the grinding stone will draw a line around the rim. It doesn't have to look pretty, it's more effective when it isn't.
The idea is to scuff the rim diagonally so the pads have a little more to bite into. Be careful not to grind too much, you just wanna ugly that mirror-finish so your brakes will work. Wet performance will almost exist, and dry performance will improve.
If for some reason above is not an option, an even quicker and dirtier way is to cut some durable and coarse sandpaper to cover the pads like little booties, and ride the bike while holding the brakes down lightly (be sure you aren't sanding the tires!) to score the rim surface. This is even less effective, but it's better than leaving them the way they are. Be careful as your braking power will be dramatically increased while doing this, so don't honk on the brakes hard or go too fast. This can be a good thing, but using this for a fix would eventually cause a blowout by grinding the rim away.
Above all, NEVER wax the rims, and try to keep them clean, because oil from car exhaust and just on the road can gather on the rim surface, and eventually the pads themselves. Don't use the pads that were on the back wheel on the front, because they are likely already contaminated with oil from the chain (not to worry though, any more braking power and the rear wheel locks anyway). If your pads are glazed, use a file to take some material away and get rid of that shine. Using a hacksaw to cut 2 or 3 shallow slots diagonally in the pad should give water someplace else to go. Observe wheel rotation and cut the slots so that when installed, they angle opposite the angle of the front forks so that they sling water outward from the rim.
Don't cut too deep (maybe about 2mm or so), and don't cut too much. Too deep, and the pads will deform under braking. Too much and you won't have enough surface-contact for braking.
If you can afford it or are otherwise willing, replacing them with aluminum rims would be best (or at least the front, where 85% of your braking is). They are lighter, faster ("an ounce off the wheel is worth two off the frame"), and more durable than steel wheels.

I sleep with my tzitzis on. Is there any part of the body the tzitzis should not touch?

Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. It's 100% free, no registration required.
This is sort of an argument from absence, but...
Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 8:16) describes a case where a person sleeps at night wearing his tallis, as to whether he has to recite a berachah on it the next morning. If there were indeed any problem with what parts of the body the tzitzis strings touch, then I would think this would be a logical place for one or more of the commentaries to point it out. Since I haven't found any that do so, I would assume that this is not an issue. (Unless someone else can find sources that talk about this explicitly.)
