Major Francis Edward Foley CMG (24 November 1884, Highbridge, Somerset – 8 May 1958, Stourbridge) was a British Secret Intelligence Service officer. As a passport control officer for the British embassy in Berlin, Foley "bent the rules" and helped thousands of Jewish families escape from Nazi Germany after Kristallnacht and before the outbreak of the Second World War,[1] officially recognized as a British Hero of the Holocaust.
Early life[edit]
He was the third son of Isabella and Andrew Wood Foley a Tiverton born railway worker,[2] whose family may have originated from Roscommon in Ireland in the early 1800s. After attending local schools in Somerset, Foley won a scholarship to Stonyhurst College, Lancashire where he was educated by the Jesuits.[3] He then went to a Catholic seminary in France to train as a priest but transferred to the Université de France in Poitiers to study Classics.[4] While there he reconsidered his vocation for the priesthood and decided instead to pursue an academic career. He travelled extensively in Europe, becoming fluent in both French and German.
Foley graduated from the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Hertfordshire Regiment on 25 January 1917.[5] He was appointed temporary Captain on 20 September 1917, while commanding an infantry company of the 1st Battalion the Hertfordshire Regiment,[6] and was later with the 2nd/6th Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment, during which time he was Mentioned in Despatches.[7][8]
Joining secret service[edit]
The story of his escape from Germany and his language skills had been noted by someone at the War Office. He was encouraged to apply for the Intelligence Corps.[9] On 25 July 1918 Foley was promoted Lieutenant.[10] In July 1918 he became part of a small unit which was responsible for recruiting and running networks of secret agents in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. After a few weeks he was sent to France, where after the Armistice he served for a short time in the Inter-Allied Military Commission of Control in Cologne. On 19 April 1920 he relinquished the temporary rank of captain,[11] and in December 1921 retired from the Army with the rank of Captain.[12]
After the running down of the Commission, he was subsequently offered the post of passport control officer in Berlin which was a cover for his main duties as head of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) station.[13] During the 1920s and 30s, Foley was successful in recruiting agents and acquiring key details of German military research and development.[9]
Foley is primarily remembered as a "British Schindler". In his role as passport control officer he helped thousands of Jews escape from Nazi Germany. At the 1961 trial of former ranking Nazi Adolf Eichmann, he was described as a "Scarlet Pimpernel" for the way he risked his own life to save Jews threatened with death by the Nazis. Despite having no diplomatic immunity and being liable to arrest at any time, Foley would bend the rules when stamping passports and issuing visas, to allow Jews to escape "legally" to Britain or Palestine, which was then controlled by the British. Sometimes he went further, going into internment camps to get Jews out, hiding them in his home, and helping them get forged passports. One Jewish aid worker estimated that he saved "tens of thousands" of people from the Holocaust.
Second World War and after[edit]
In 1939 and 1940 he was passport control officer in Norway until the Germans invaded at which time he was attached to C-in-C Norwegian Forces in the Field, for which services he received the Norwegian Knight's Cross of the Order of St. Olaf.[7]
On 1 January 1941 he was awarded Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George (CMG) as a Captain in respect of services to the Foreign Office.[14] In 1941, he was given the task of questioning Hitler's Deputy Rudolf Hess, after Hess's flight to Scotland. After Hess was hospitalised in 1942, Foley helped co-ordinate MI5 and MI6 in running a network of double agents called the Double Cross System.
He returned to Berlin very soon after the war under the cover of Assistant Inspector General of the Public Safety Branch of the Control Commission in Germany, where he was involved in hunting for ex-SS war criminals.[7]
In 1949 Foley retired to Stourbridge, Worcestershire, and died there in 1958;[15] he is buried in Stourbridge Cemetery. On 27 April 1961 The Daily Mail carried the story of his activities to save as many Jews as he possibly could with visas to Great Britain and where no excuse could be found for a visa to Great Britain he contacted friends working within the embassies of other nations for their assistance in granting visas to their countries, it was written by his widow.[16] His widow Katharine Eva Foley died on 15 April 1979 at her home in Sidmouth, Devon.[17]
Honours and awards[edit]
- Mentioned in Despatches for service in World War I.[7]
- Order of St. Olaf Knight's Cross (Norwegian) in 1941.[7]
- Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George on 1 January 1941.[14]
- Righteous Among the Nations awarded in October 1999 posthumously by Israel.[18]
- British Hero of the Holocaust awarded posthumously in 2010.[19][20]
Posthumous recognition[edit]
Foley was accorded the status of a Righteous Among the Nations by Israel's Yad Vashem as a direct result of testimony from "living witnesses" found by Michael Smith while researching his biography of Foley. Lord Janner, chairman of the Holocaust Educational Trust, was instrumental in persuading Yad Vashem to look at Smith's evidence. Some members of the Yad Vashem committee that determines whether someone should be named as a "righteous gentile" were initially sceptical that a MI6 officer would not have diplomatic immunity but the then Foreign Office historian Gill Bennett produced previously classified documents that demonstrated this to be the case. The cover of Smith's book features the photograph from Foley's first diplomatic passport with the date it was issued clearly shown as 11 August 1939.[9]
In 2004 a remembrance plaque was dedicated to him at the entrance to Stourbridge's Mary Stevens Park.[21] The following year volunteers from Highbridge, Foley's birthplace, raised money to erect their own tribute.
A statue was commissioned from sculptor Jonathan Sells and unveiled on the anniversary of VE Day, which is also the anniversary of his death.[22] The 'Frank Foley Parkway' between Highbridge and Burnham on Sea opened on 7 July 2009.
In 2007, a film about Foley's life was in the planning stages, but the producers were then taking legal action against MI6 to release still-classified documents related to his work.[23]
On 24 November 2004 (the 120th anniversary of his birth) descendants of Foley, relatives of those he saved, representatives of Jewish organisations, British MPs and other well-wishers gathered at the British Embassy in Berlin for the unveiling of a plaque in honour of Foley. At the ceremony Foreign Secretary Jack Straw praised Foley's heroism:[24]
Frank Foley risked his life to save the lives of thousands of German Jews. Without the protection of diplomatic immunity he visited internment camps and sheltered Jewish refugees in his house. Frank Foley was a true British hero. It is right that we should honour him at the British Embassy in Berlin, not far from where he once worked.
On 31 May 2009, a garden was dedicated in his memory at London's Sternberg Centre, where a plaque was unveiled by Cherie Booth.
In 2010, Foley was named a British Hero of the Holocaust by the British Government.[19]
A National Express West Midlands bus is dedicated to him.[25]

The following day began as normal, with Eragon completing his morning cleansing rituals and breaking his fast, before moving onto Mirina's morning lessons. Eragon was relieved to note that the brown dragon was much more compliant that day, perhaps owing to Saphira's scolding the day before, or lingering fatigue from her exhausting endurance training from the same day, or a mixture of both. Saphira, happy with Mirina's progress, suggested they would go easier that day. The news seemed to relieve Mirina, and Eragon could not fault her reluctance to perform another rigorous aerial marathon when she was only so young; Saphira did push her, though not to the breaking point. She was surprisingly skilled at letting Mirina rest before embarking on another painstaking training session. With the two dragons flying off into the sky, Eragon returned to his hut, Filin waiting for him as she always did, the same stoic expression belying the fiery e

Flying to New Heights
"Arghh," Eragon sighed as he sank into his favourite chair, completely and utterly exhausted. "I feel like I need to go off on an adventure again, someplace far, far away from the petty troubles of the city council."
"Now, now, Eragon. I thought that we'd established that your hobby of flying away from your problems solved nothing." Murtagh droned from where he sat sprawled over the table, his dark hair covering his face. "It's your fault regardless, it was your idea to elect a group of citizens to develop and take care of the city in the shadow of our keep."
"I didn't want to be the ruler of what is slowly becoming it's own kingdom!" Eragon huffed. "Sure, it was nice at first, having others here with me while building this place for riders and dragons. And it was great when we had more people to h

There was no wind this morning, a setting for a perfect winter day. Freshly fallen snow clung to the pines and their breathes frosted before them.
He had been walking throughout the woods with Arya all of that morning. Their conversation and laughter accompanied the sound of their boots crunching down on the frost covered forest floor.
Sheltered from the eyes of others and their responsibilities of the world by the pines they walked beneath, Eragon felt happier by this comfort than anything else. If he could, he would wish to stay here forever.
And he dreaded the time when they would leave

There's been a lot of AMD APU tests this week on Phoronix with having the newest Kaveri APUs. Our latest APU adventure is seeing how well the GCC performance compares between GCC 4.9 and GCC 4.10, what's expected to become GCC 5.0.
McSema has been officially open-sourced as an advanced program for translating x86 machine code into LLVM bitcode.
Aside from the experimental "Coconut" as a Python JIT compiler using GCC's new Just-In Time capabilities, the libgccjit.so shared library isn't yet depended upon in the real-world but the JIT compilation abilities are being built upon for hopeful incorporation into the GNU Compiler Collection.
Linus Torvalds' latest tirade is over the GCC 4.9 code compiler.
Last week in Cambridge (UK) was the GNU Tools Cauldron 2014 conference where a number of interesting GCC-related talks took place, including greater collaboration between the GCC and LLVM/Clang compiler crews.
The GNU Compiler Collection has been awarded with ACM's 2014 Programming Languages Software Award.
GNU Compiler Collection developers are beginning to come to a consensus that GCC 5.0 will be released in 2015.
We've known for a while that LLVM 3.5 has been under plans for a release in August now with just being days away from the start of the month, we have a better idea for the release schedule.
Released the middle of last month was Google's Go 1.3 programming language. Updated Go 1.3 code is now landing within the GNU Compiler Collection.
The LLVM Foundation has announced the annual LLVM Developers' Meeting that occurs every year in Q3~Q4 in California.
The first point release to the GCC 4.9 compiler is now available.
The latest programming language that can leverage using LLVM and its plethora of back-ends is Pascal-86, a language most Phoronix readers have probably never even heard of.
While LLVM's Clang compiler is predominantly used on Linux, OS X, and BSD systems, the Microsoft Windows support has been a focus over the past several months and is reaching an improved state for building native Windows programs with Visual C++ compatibility.
While adoption of the Linux x32 ABI hasn't really taken off with most developers and end-users doing just fine with x86_64-compiled software, Intel is trying to get things back on track for supporting x32 by LLVM and Clang.
LDC that's the LLVM-based D language code compiler has been updated. LDC 0.13.0 was released last week with new features.
With LLVM developers already having lots of C++1y / C++14 support implemented, they have begun working on "highly experimental" support for C++1z -- the next major revision to the C++ programming language anticipated for release in 2017.
This weekend I ran some quick and dirty link-time optimization (LTO) benchmarks from a GCC 4.10 compiler snapshot from earlier this month. Here's the results.
The GCC steering committee has ruled on allowing a foreign library for compute offloading into the GNU Compiler Collection.
Intel developers in Moscow remain hard at work trying to land OpenMP support within LLVM's Clang C/C++ compiler as soon as possible.
The second point release to LLVM 3.4 is now available.
GCC 4.9 was released at the end of April so this weekend I ran some fresh compiler benchmarks of the latest GCC 4.10 compiler snapshot to see if there's been any performance improvements thus far in the 4.10 development cycle, although GCC 4.10 will not be released until 2015.
The GNU community has released GCC 4.7.4 as the last planned point release to the GCC 4.7 compiler.
At Apple's recent WWDC event besides announcing a new 3D graphics API, Apple also announced Swift, a new programming. However, Apple developers don't yet know -- or can't admit -- whether Swift will ultimately be open-source or made to be cross-platform.
This year's GNU Tools Cauldron is taking place next month at the University of Cambridge where some very interesting compiler-related discussions will be taking place.
PathScale, the company behind the EKOPath compiler and other compiler technologies for both CPUs and GPGPU solutions, is looking to hire one or two kernel developers to work on improving the open-source AMD Linux graphics drivers... Particularly, to improve the GPGPU/OpenCL compute support in the driver, improve the Hawaii GPU and APU support, and potential optimizations for GPUs with 4GB+ of video memory.
We might finally have OpenMP support added to LLVM's Clang C/C++ compiler!
Back in March Apple open-sourced their ARM 64-bit LLVM back-end (dubbed ARM64) many months after other ARM vendors had already developed a competing 64-bit ARM back-end (dubbed "AArch64" as ARM's official name for architecture). Since Apple opened up their back-end, Apple and outside LLVM developers have been working to converge the competing 64-bit ARM back-ends into a single 64-bit ARM target. That work is now complete.
For those that haven't already moved over to the recently released GCC 4.9, the third point release to the GNU Compiler Collection 4.8 series has finally surfaced.
One of LLVM's Clang compiler benefits that has long been trumpeted has been about its speedy compiler times in comparison to GCC. The latest results of using Clang with Qt Creator further reinforce the insanely fast compile times.

Make It A Double: Sister Street Style At Its Best
We've heard the family that plays together, stays together — and we just found the sartorial equivalent of that piece of advice. It's in this Kiev street-style snap of Ukrainian designers and It girls, Yuliya and Lilian Magdych.
Everything in this photo is instantly striking: the bright blonde locks, the black-and-white colorblocking with bits of crimson, the festive head wreaths, and then, oh yes, there's two of them. The sisters may not always match in coordinating getups (like some of our moms insisted when we were tots), but we have no doubts that their flare for dramatic style is something that runs in the family. And we suspect a close-knit one at that — just look at those tightly gripped hands. Now, that's a tie that binds.

Since the Barreracudas now have members living in Atlanta, Chicago, Nashville, and New York, the band has to make the most of its time together. A weekend in Atlanta leading up to the band's trip to SXSW is no exception, as the group continued working on its second album Saturday before headlining a show at the Star Bar. Sunday was not a day of rest and hangover recovery, as that's when the band got busy on a new music video. The video, shot at the Earl by Tim Song and Mike Moore, will be for a new song called "Be a Jerk." Singer and guitarist Adrian Barrera is mum on details, though he did say the title of the song and accompanying video is not deceiving: "We don't want to give away too much yet, but it's all about being a jerk."
If Saturday's set is any indication of what festivalgoers can expect later this week, the distance between members has not caused the Barreracudas to miss a step on stage. Their latest Atlanta performance saw the group sprinkle a few new, catchy numbers in with singalongs from earlier releases. The like-minded Atlanta band Dino's Boys, who are making the road trip to Austin with the 'Cudas, played next to last. They, too, are working on an album, so they busted out new material in time for this year's jaunt to SXSW.
Tonight, the Barreracudas' rock 'n' roll endurance race continues with a bill at the Siberia Club in New Orleans that also includes Dino's Boys, fellow Southern acts Turbo Fruits and Spider Bags, and Brooklyn rockers Vietnam. The band's SXSW itinerary is a marathon in itself. Four straight days of shows begin Wednesday, with the grand finale being Burger Records' Burgermania 2; a star-studded lineup that includes Dwight Twilley, Roky Erikson, the Spits, Nobunny, Apache, and King Tuff. No word yet on whether Bill Murray will emcee.
Barrera, always armed with a funny quip, summed up the band's full itinerary thus: "Work on the finishing touches of the album, Star Bar, video, New Orleans, Austin ... then detox."

It seems to me that making various drugs illegal has actually increased their availability to younger people.
I am going to get stomped for this, but, how helpful is it to have 13-14 yr. old kids becoming potheads? How many kids have had their lives derailed by approaching these powerful drugs as playthings?
Castaneda, for example, warns not to underestimate the power of the "little smoke". Why is it that you can score this drug at virtually any high school parking lot in the country?
htp,nli 686272
As a successful author Carlos Castaneda was directly forced by the CIA to adopt that position.
Here is a quote from Castaneda in Encounters with the Nagual, by Armando Torres.
"In 1971, after publishing my second book, I received an uncomfortable visit. United States government agents came to one of my presentations and they informed me that I was becoming an idol of juvenile drug addicts, and that they would expel me from the country unless I modified my attitude.
"At first I didn't see any reason to concern myself with these threats. But later I investigated a little, and the situation made an impression on me. Many students were taking Don Juan's teachings as an academic permission to get high. My name was mentioned everywhere as an authority on drugs. But I didn't want to be the patron saint of anything!
"I took my dilemma to Don Juan, who laughed at the whole thing and told me that a principle of stalkers is not to confront anybody, and certainly not people more powerful than themselves. 'You have blundered in among the hooves of horses, and you have to get yourself out of there. I suggest you take care of your learning; the rest, what does it matter?' That advice made me decide to have a more cautious-attitude in my next publications.
"Personally, I neither approve nor disapprove of anything, since I am not one to judge in the matter and, also, my learning was a result of such techniques. However, in public I cannot encourage use of the plants, because my books are read by all kinds of people and everyone interprets them in their own way.

FCC Opens Way for Media Conglomerates
The Federal Communications Commission voted Tuesday to allow companies that own television stations in the country's 20 largest markets also to own newspapers. The vote to overturn a 32-year-ban on such multi-media ownership saw the FCC's three Republicans in favor and two Democrats vehemently opposed.
BILL WOLFF, host:
The Federal Communications Commission has voted to relax the rules on media consolidation. It has overturned a ban which prevented companies that owned a television station in the country's 20 largest markets from also owning a newspaper. It's a 32-year-old ban overturned yesterday. The vote was 3 to 2 down party lines, with Republicans in favor and Democrats vehemently opposed.
Here to tell us what it all means is the great David Folkenflik. He reports on media for NPR.
Hi, David.
DAVID FOLKENFLIK: Good morning, William. How are you?
WOLFF: I have never been better, to be talking to you on this morning.
Tell me what this means. So…
FOLKENFLIK: I mean, I think what this means is that the FCC is giving the green light for the big to get bigger. If you look over recent decades in the media, as in many other industries, whether if you think about the oil or film or whatever, there's been an extraordinary range of consolidation. And this is a measured relaxation in the sense that there are a lot of restrictions and stipulations it, at least at first blush, appears to be limited to the top 20 markets in the country. You know, cross-ownership is this thing where you can't own the newspaper and a television station in the same town.
Well, you know, actually, in a lot of markets, that's already the case. This was passed 32 years ago, this ban. And so a lot of companies were grandfathered in. A lot of companies were given waivers, particularly if you think of the Tribune Company, when it bought the L.A. Times' parent company and got a bunch of really high-level newspapers, the Hartford Courant, Newsday, the Baltimore Sun, which is my old paper, the L.A. Times. Suddenly it owned, and very intentionally, it owned newspapers and television stations in the same town.
WOLFF: And the danger there, David, is essentially that the newspaper will then not report fairly on the television station and the vice versa, is that the fear?
FOLKENFLIK: Well, actually, funny - you should raise that. I was in that precise position when I was at the Baltimore Sun, which had just been purchased by Tribune, and suddenly we were in a partnership with Channel 2 in town. It was not actually owned by Tribune, although there was some discussion that that might possibly play out in the future, and people, you know, were instantly accusing me of it. I, you know, responded by breaking the news of the partnership and then making fun of the ownership of the newspaper - of the television station.
WOLFF: Atta boy.
FOLKENFLIK: But actually that's not it. The real question is whether there's diversity of voices in any given market. The FCC regulates broadcasting, and not newspapers. But the cross-ownership band is the notion of in any market, you know, are citizens being served by there being enough of an array of distinct voices journalistically, that if there's one way or approach or point of view from a media outlet, are there others to counter it? That is, you know, the old-fashioned marketplace of ideas.
This is saying some consolidation is necessary. Chairman Martin says it's important to consider the financial fortunes of newspapers because they've really been struggling. You know, the burst of Internet, where you have, essentially, a free of channel distributions, even of their information, they don't know quite how to charge it and still make money, and they don't know how to give it away free and get the same money from - in revenues from advertisers online. You think they really need this to be able to couple with TV stations, get more revenues, maybe save money in the backroom and keep newspapers vibrant. You know…
WOLFF: Well…
FOLKENFLIK: …it is a solution, by the way, that satisfies almost no one.
WOLFF: Well, I was going to ask, do newspapers fall under the aegis of the FCC? I thought…
FOLKENFLIK: Newspapers don't. But because of this rule that was created by their law that was created by Congress in 1975, I guess it was, about limiting the ability of companies to own both the newspapers and TV stations, you know, it got a foot in the door for regulation of what newspaper companies are allowed to own. That is, you know, it does very much does regulate what kind of broadcast outlets, companies that own newspapers in town can own.
So although it's not a direct part of the FCC's mandate to do this, to think about the vibrancy of newspapers, it, you know, the chairman can legitimately say, hey. I'm the guy in charge with looking out for the vibrancy of the media for Americans, and newspapers were part of my charge.
WOLFF: Well…
FOLKENFLIK: In this case, he's saying the top 20 markets, where there are eight voices when you combine primary newspapers and television stations, we mail out one of the smaller stations to be owned by the same company as the newspaper. To be honest, the newspaper companies say that doesn't go nearly far enough.
WOLFF: Huh.
FOLKENFLIK: They want to go in one of the markets, and they don't want the size of the stations to be regulated.
WOLFF: Well, not to be Ron Paul about it, but here are the Republicans, it seems, the White House and the Republicans on the FCC, seeming to prop up the newspaper business. I mean, that's their stated purpose, to help the newspaper business survive. Since when is the Republican side of the politics interested in intervening in commerce? I thought they were the laissez-faire party. It doesn't make sense to me.
FOLKENFLIK: Well, you know, I mean, it all depends on what your definition of a newspaper company is. This is not really so much for the pure newspaper company like the Washington Post company or the - well, it actually has, you know, a significant side business in education services - or, you know, something like McClatchy, which is essentially a pure newspaper company. This will really help in the short term, anyway, companies like the Tribune Company and News Corps.
WOLFF: Right.
FOLKENFLIK: The Murdoch's, you know, media conglomerate.
WOLFF: Right.
FOLKENFLIK: That, you know, has just purchased Dow Jones, and therefore will own New York Post and the Wall Street Journal and two major stations here in the nation's largest city, in New York. This basically is saying that's not going to be a problem.
There are a lot of smaller markets in which these companies operate, too. You know, Hartford in Connecticut is not in the top 20 markets, but if I'm remembering correctly, Tribune at the moment owns the Daily newspaper, the Weekly newspaper and two television stations there. You know, that's the kind of market where they're going to need some help to be able to hold on to that. They've been given a waiver, but, you know, long term, they want the ability to do that.
WOLFF: What?
FOLKENFLIK: You know…
WOLFF: Yes?
FOLKENFLIK: The funny thing is is that you - I haven't seen a lot of evidence supporting the fact that newspapers thrive more as a result of owning TV stations in town.
WOLFF: Well, you're going to have to keep track of it for us and come back and tell us more about it. I found this being an incredibly interesting story.
And thank you, David Folkenflik, the great NPR media reporter, for your insights this morning.
FOLKENFLIK: Always good to join you.
WOLFF: All right, man.

Roberge 6.302 Lecture 09
Description not set
The role of diagnosis in counselling and psychotherapy
This unit explores the role of diagnosis in the treatment of mental health problems. It considers the history of our current understandings of 'mental health' and 'illness' with focus on the concepts of anxiety and depression, and looks at potential gains and losses in using diagnostic labels in counselling and pyschotherapy.
Building Molecular Models of DNA, Protein, and Lipids
Molecular models of DNA, protein (alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheet), and lipids are built to scale. With a minimum of scientific jargon, these laboratory exercises effectively display the important aspects of three-dimensional shape and spatial orientation that are poorly presented in textbook illustrations and demonstrate how the shape of molecules and weak chemical associations like hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions combine to form the macromolecular associations fundam
Nationalism, self-determination and secession
What makes a 'nation' and what makes peoples strive for nationhood? This unit will provide you with an introduction to studying political ideas by looking at how people who see themselves as nations challenge the existing order to assert their right to a state of their own.
Living in a globalised world
meta intro required
Entrepreneurial behaviour
Have you ever wanted to start your own business? This unit will give you the opportunity to consider and reflect on the personal aspects involved in transforming an innovative idea into an entrepreneurial product. You will also learn how to identify the requirements for building an appropriate entrepreneurial team.
Introducing the Classical world
How do we learn about the world of the ancient Romans and Greeks? This unit will provide you with an insight into the Classical world by introducing you to the various sources of information used by scholars to draw together an image of this fascinating period of history.
The financial markets context
How do financial markets match providers with users, and how efficiently does the market determine prices? Can investors rely on notoriously volatile stock markets to function efficiently? It can be difficult to determine whether successful investments are a matter of skill and luck. In this unit, you will interrogate whether markets can function efficiently, and what factors might militate against this. You will also learn the importance of the Efficient Markets Hypothesis.
Social Problems: who makes them?
Anti-social behaviour, homelessness, drugs, metal illness: all problems in today's society. But what makes a problem social? This unit will help you to discover how these issues are identified, defined, given meaning and acted upon. You will also look at the conflicts within social science in this area.
Philosophy: the nature of persons
What is a person? This unit examines this philosophical question concerning the nature of personhood. You will examine whether a 'person' is the same as a 'human being', and look at whether it is our free will that in the end defines us as a 'person'.
What is poetry?
Have you always wanted to try to write poetry but never quite managed to start? This unit is designed to illustrate the techniques behind both the traditional forms of poetry and free verse. You will learn how you can use your own experiences to develop ideas and how to harness your imagination.
Studying the arts and humanities
This unit is an introduction to studying the arts and humanities. It takes you through a series of exercises designed to develop your approach to study and learning at a distance and improve your confidence as an independent learner.
Start writing fiction
Have you always wanted to write, but never quite had the courage to start? This unit will give you an insight into how authors create their characters and the settings for their work. You will also be able to look at the different genres for fiction.
One reason why caecilians are considered to be amphibians is because they go through metamorphosis to reach adulthood. Caecilians are unique amphibians because some of them lay eggs, but some of them give birth to live young.
Blooming prickly pear cactus (Opuntia) from the Sonora desert
Cacti are often overlooked as flowering plants. In fact, cacti bloom with colorful flowers and reproduce like all other angiosperms.
Blood flow of moving Lumbriculus
Observe blood flow and muscle contractions in each body segment of Lumbriculus variegates (note how blood flows in relation to the worm turning in the capillary tube).
Birds' beaks: a special adaptation
The size and shape of a bird's beak is telling of its diet. Bird's beaks are special adaptations to get food and vary according to if the bird eats plants, animals, or seeds.
Bird nest
Most birds make homes called nests. They are built out of twigs, hair, bits of trash, mud, and many other items. Many birds build these nests in tree branches, but they can also be built on the ground or on buildings such as rooftops.
Arachnids: Tick
One reason why ticks are considered to be arachnids is because they do not have antennae like insects do. Ticks suck blood from animals and are sometimes difficult to remove from the host's skin.
All arachnids have eight jointed legs. They lack antennae and wings, so they cannot fly. The body of an arachnid is divided into two parts, the cephalothorax and the abdomen. Arachnids lay eggs to reproduce.

Product Description
From Amazon
Let's get one thing straight: Carl Hiaasen doesn't like the Walt Disney Company. Whenever the giant entertainment conglomerate stumbles, as it did with its proposed Civil War theme park in Virginia, Hiaasen cheers. When a rhinoceros mysteriously dies at Disney's new theme park, Animal Kingdom, Hiaasen secretly hopes for the worst, because, as he writes, "no scandal is so delectable as a Disney scandal."
A native of Florida, author of such thrillers as Lucky You and Strip Tease, and a journalist for the Miami Herald, Hiaasen comes by his dislike for Disney honestly. He has witnessed the relentless success of the Disney machine firsthand with the development of Disney World and other properties around Orlando. In Team Rodent: How Disney Devours the World, Hiaasen paints a witty and sarcastic portrait in this nonfiction account of a company who can control the press, manipulate local governments, and because it's Disney, get away with it. Team Rodent is a quick, entertaining read that even the most loyal Disney shareholder (except maybe Michael Eisner) will find enlightening and amusing. --Harry C. Edwards --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
From the Publisher
Rarely is a book this much of a pleasure to work on, because I stopped on page after page to read and crack up at Hiaasen's sharp and pointed wit--and then be shocked by the nasty things I never knew about Disney! I just went to Disney World for the very first time ever last year, so I was curious to see what Carl Hiaasen had to say about it--and I don't think I'll be going back again!
E.Gaffney, production
--This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
What Dj meant when he said that Hiaasen hates Disney because he is obsessed with "adult material" was poorly expressed, but I think I can clarify the point. Apparently Hiaasen would rather a community be filled with disgusting shops and sleaze and, to use a term that he is so fond of, "S**t weasels". I mean, Disney should be praised for trying to clean up the deplorable state of Times Square and the crime filled central Florida and that island used as headquarters for a ring of drug dealers. If Hiaasen really wants to go back to the Florida of his youth, he should be praising Disney for trying to restablish the old good American values. Times Square and Orlando owe great thanks to Disney for (at least partially) fixing it up. The messy state they were in before would have caused the latter to go bankrupt. Contrary to what Hiaasen states, we need MORE Disney worlds, especially here in New York City, where I am always scared that I wont come home alive. Also, Hiaasen obviously has no sense of good art if he calls Disney's works "crapola", Walt produced some of the best art in history. The term crapola could be more aptly used when discribing Hiaasen's books,of which I have read the majority of, that are disgusting, vulgar, and, frankly, very dull. As an environmetalist myself, I hate to disagree with Carl in terms of the environmetal issues discussed in this waste of paper. However, I can tell you that it is not the case. Disney did not ruin Florida's nature. Long before the Disney Co. was even born, Florida was the #1 tourist attraction, and resorts, factories, and man made lakes damaged the everglades environment.Read more ›
While this book can be read in a few hours, as it appears to be nothing more than recycled newspaper columns with some extra meat tossed in, there is something entertaining here. I am not familiar with Hiassen's other writing, but here he is genuinely amusing and original, especially when Disney Chairman Michael Eisner becomes his target. Hiassen has thought through in detail how Disney succeeds, especially in ensuring good press coverage by sponsoring junkets for small town newspaper writers. Hiassen attends one and attempts to pay retail for all services and fails despite his most earnest efforts. I would have liked to see more information on the methods Walt Disney employed to surreptiously purchase land and create an autonomous political entity, but that is short-changed here, other than to show that the resulting security force is out of control. The book was published in 1998 and now appears slightly dated, as the lustre appears to be off the Disney marketing juggernaut in the last few years. In an update, Hiassen could add mis-steps with Disney Stores and films to his gleeful telling of failures in residential real estate and Virginia civil war parks.
