| Jenn chapter 1 . 12/6/2002
I'm amazed that despite the silliness of many of your stories [which I hope is intended] you manage to still have the characters be suprizingly IC.
This is a sweet fic that manages to not be sappy or sacchirine. And I loved to omake! [Need fanart of that!]
| Beckster chapter 1 . 12/6/2002
Too sweet! When I was reading the beginning, I was like "why does this sound familiar, like I've seen a pic of it" till you mentioned it at the bottom and got a giggle. That was a cute pic that they did and I was wondering what kind of cute fic to go with it. You handled it pretty well.
*holds sides from hurting cause of gut spliting laughter* The omake for this one takes the cake, I could SOOOOOOOOOO see Alucard doing those silly things, especially the Full Monty and the fake stair climbing.
What a silly name for your now free turtle. You never cease to make me laugh.
Speaking of Solid Etc, did you sign up for their X-mas card? I signed up for the AxI card. Even though you can request all 3, but I didn't want to be a greedy American and just picked my fav couple. Though I'm sure the Walter card will look good too.

New 330cic - where's the love?
My first taste of a BMW was my parents 1992 525i. Nice car. So, a few years later I ditched my Mits Eclipse for a 1995 BMW 325is, black 5 speed, sport pkg, with grey interior. It was awesome. I got rid of it only because I was given a company car, a '98 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. Free car, so you keep it for a while, then changed jobs.
In 2002 I leased an Audi A4 Quattro because it was all wheel drive (live on very hilly roads). Everytime someone asked me about it, I said it's okay, but it's not like my old BMW.
Lease was nearing it's end so the shopping began. I was not excited, nothing interested me except fond memories of my BMW which was not practical being rear wheel drive. So, I starting looking for a SUV because of my hilly roads. First stop, the BMW dealership, drove an X5, took an X3 home for the night. But, there it was, a black 330 vert on a sunny Oct day. The salesman said "don't do it", but I did drive the convertible. There is a point when emotion takes over practicality. It did.
The sunny day went away and I was disappointed, why? I just couldn't get comfortable in the seat, or the steering wheel. I thought, 'obviously this was a 6'+ man's car', the seat belt choked me, I couldn't get the steering wheel close enough to me. Why did I love my 325 so much, and this wasn't the same?
I have come to think maybe the reasons are: this one is an auto, the '95 was manual. This one has the premium package, the '95 had sport seats.
For 10 years I remembered the BMW as my dream car, and to have a convertible would be the pinnacle of it all. So where's the love?

It's just past Groundhog Day yet it's not too early to say that this has been a lousy winter: Nine storms since Christmas and the weekly forecast promises more to come. Even Punxetawny Phil's inability to see his rodent-like shadow doesn't make me happy. Last week, a new treat was added when we were blasted with an ice storm. Nobody likes ice! It means broken cars and broken bones. Even the nightly news has been regaling us with pictures of poor unfortunates being wheeled into emergency rooms across the region - yet more fear-inducing visuals to add to the ample and oft-repeated footage of cars sliding sideways down hills and pin-balling off cars, poles and the occasional wall or building.
Ahhhhh...Sunday afternoon and we've been blessed with a balmy 40 degree day - enough to make the frozen tundra ooze a bit. I survey the expanse in front of me, a clean safe driveway seeming impossibly far away. On go the gloves and I am ready for action; my breath billowing out in front of me, I begin chopping away at the ice. , Inch by inch, cube by frozen cube, each shovelful reveals another piece of blacktop: hallelujah! My wrists and hands hurt, but it's well worth the benefit of reducing the risk of breaking my neck.
What does chopping ice have to do with financial happiness? Everything, of course. The tedium and pain of the scraping, chopping, shoveling and clearing is a perfect analogy to the process of building financial happiness. Have you ever experienced a time in your life when your financial life was not where you wanted it to be? What did you do? Did you make any changes or did you stand frozen in retched confusion?
Finding your financial blacktop is a worthy goal. It is a place of safety and stability, preventing unwanted trips to the hospital. Just look at the opposite of your so-called clear driveway: you could be dallying on financial ice, where everything is slippery, tenuous, and downright dangerous. One last metaphor here: it's a choice between standing on solid ground and landing painfully on your ass.
Several years ago, I met with a young couple who were in dire financial conditions. They were earning modest salaries and were both buried by debt. They tried to display a lifestyle of comfort, only to sink deeper into the mire. Day after day they existed perilously close to disaster, hoping that today would not be the day they would fall flat. Now even they could see it was time to chop the ice and become grounded upon the strong secure base that lay beneath.
Our process of driveway clearing began with a survey of the landscape, including a long look at the distance between their present reality and preferred future. Their overriding desire and need was to live within their means without being dependent on revolving debt. They were tired of trying to keep up with their friends who earned more. They had had enough calls from credit card companies looking for payment; life was becoming exhausting and depressing.
After surveying the environment, we built a plan together that required that they make substantial changes in their spending, including moving to an apartment that was less costly and cancelling their planned vacation. In order to pay off debt and live within their means, they had to reduce their discretionary spending to bare bones. According to the plan, it would take thirty months of disciplined effort to break out of their predicament. Each month, they would chip away at the debt and add a little but to their savings in order to create financial security. Their only option was to remain steadfast in their efforts or risk collapsing back into the chaotic state of financial inebriation.
Twenty-nine months later, they came to see me for a check-in meeting. They were both waving zero balance credit card statements and documents showing an emergency fund that would cover them in case of unexpected problems. They were all smiles. Life had changed in the last two years. They learned the difference between living by someone else's standards versus their own values. They valued security over lifestyle and in so doing made it possible for them to have both: with a secure foundation, they were now able to build up their lifestyle one important brick at a time. Not only was their blacktop clear, it was now safe and secure.
Looking at my cleared driveway, it doesn't feel like I had to work so hard after all. Sure I have some blisters on my hands from gripping the shovel, but in addition to attaining a safe driveway I also gave myself a pretty good cardio workout at the same time...one chop at a time, of course.

There are two questions most often asked of home educators. The first is, "What about socialization?" This question is met with an inward sigh and is patiently answered in a variety of ways. It is easily sloughed off and does not affect us very deeply. The second is harder to disregard, because the one asking is most likely a fellow Christian believer, and the query is not simply for more information but is a question that challenges our calling – "Aren't we supposed to be salt and light to this generation?"
Most of my home educating friends are earnest believers who have chosen the path less trod in order to train up their children at God's prompting. This query is particularly difficult because it strikes at the very heart of obedience to God's direction. Have we not been led? Is the call to home educate our children in opposition to the command to be salt and light in the world?
When I was thus confronted, I went to God and asked if I had been led. Almost immediately two scriptures came to mind. One was in Matthew 5, in the Sermon on the Mount, and the other was in 1 Peter, quoting Leviticus 20:26:
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world.
Matthew 5:13-14
But like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living; because it is written, ye shall be holy; for I am holy.
1 Peter 1:15-16
These scriptures are often quoted along with the assumption that we are holy in Christ. When they are put together, the thought that emerges is that we are holy and are called to be salt and light. A careful reading of the scriptures reveals the exact opposite. We are salt and light and are called to be holy. In fact we are warned not to lose our saltiness!
The word "holy" means to be separate. The Bible often calls us to be holy–unto Him. This thought is beautifully expressed in 2 Corinthians:
Wherefore come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be to you a Father, and ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6:17-18
As we respond to what He has put on our hearts, we are indeed raising up a godly seed unto Him. Our testimony enables us to point our needy neighbors to Christ. This is consistent with what my wife and I felt when God moved us to educate our four boys at home and not send them off in the big yellow bus to "be salt."
It is an exceptional child who can affect a godless institution. Usually it is the institution that affects the child, which is consistent with the statements, "Evil companionships corrupt good morals" (1 Corinthians 15:33) and "Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it." (Proverbs 13:20)
Therefore BE encouraged, you who have responded to God's call to raise a godly seed. You are on the right track. Be holy. Be obedient. By your obedience, you and your children are light in this dark world. As the Holy Spirit through Paul states in 1 Corinthians 15:58, "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord."
All scripture passages are from the ASV.

Consulting on Channel Four's 'Sex Education Show' – Series Two
March 30th, 2009
Dr Petra
Channel Four begins a new four-part series of The Sex Education Show tonight. The focus appears to be particularly related towards young people and the impact pornography has on their lives, and also aims to cover issues relating to anatomy, sexual and health, and relationships.
I was involved as a consultant and guest on the first series, and reflected on the experiences in the following blogs:
Helping parents become sex education experts outlines how we gave parents a confidence building class in talking to their teens about sex, and then showed them putting these new skills into action.
How can parents, teachers and the media give good sex and relationships education summarises a talk I gave at Channel Four that tackled issues of providing Sex and Relationships Education to young people, collaborative working between practitioners, and how the media (including C4) often contributes to our problems with understanding sex.
Responses to the first series were pretty positive. While some areas of the media predictably gnashed their teeth about morality and prime time television, most reviewers appreciated the fact that sex was being discussed in a mainstream format. Viewing figures were high, and feedback I heard from parents, teens and sexual health practitioners/sex educators was generally good. Particularly people felt the programme focused on more than just anatomy, encouraged communication, showed sex in a diverse way, and particularly acted as a guide for parents about what was going on in young people's lives and how you could talk to them about sex and relationships.
There were some criticisms of the programme from media analysts, and sexual health professionals. Mostly these focused on who the show was aimed at – teens, adults or both? The variety of topics within each show confused some or were interpreted as gimmicky, with too much focus on the main presenter.
The first series was contradictory in places – for example in one episode we heard about how the media makes us feel bad about our bodies by directing how we should look, followed by a film where the presenter had a bikini wax and remarked how it improved her sex life. Some of the case studies in the film didn't seem representative of teens, and in places evidence was ignored in favour of more televisual techniques. For example, in one episode men were shown having a urethral swab for STIs although we now use a 'pee in a pot' method, and in another episode teens were shown graphic pictures of STIs which evidence suggests increases fear about sex but not the practice of safer sex or awareness of early stage symptoms/symptomless STIs.
Parts of the first series medicalised behaviour, focusing on anatomy, biology, infections and contraception, often presided over by a white-coated doctor. Which evidence shows is not what young people want to hear about sex and relationships. Sexuality appeared to be added as an afterthought. And while some areas of 'sex' were not critiqued (e.g. a foray into burlesque to spice up ones sex life) others were ridiculed (tantric sex), which created a slightly judgemental and heteronormative subtext.
The whole of the first series was underpinned by a survey conducted for (and to promote) the programme which generated results that ran counter to many existing reliable sex surveys (for example the level of sexual behaviour and porn use reported was far higher than other teen surveys suggest). As a result the programme was based on unreliable data, where existing kosher evidence could have been used instead.
I was invited to be a consultant on the second series, and my first task was to feed back these positive and negative responses. I also suggested the following to producers:
Move away from the medical
Part of the criticism of sex education by young people – and a reason why it doesn't work effectively – is that it focuses too much on biological issues, and not enough on psychological/practical issues. I recommended using guests who came from a variety of professional backgrounds, and for any medics featured not to wear a white coat (as nobody does this in actual sex ed). I suggested and the focus of the series should shift from lessons about anatomy, STIs and contraception, to discussing body image, self esteem, feelings, emotions, desires, and respect for oneself and others.
Focus on life skills
Research with teens about what's lacking in sex education suggests they mostly want to know how to have relationships – particularly communication and assertiveness techniques. For series two I suggested this become a core part of every programme, avoiding telling viewers what to do, but showing them how to put key aspects of relationships into practice.
Be aware of changes to Sex and Relationships education
Sex and relationships education is currently being reviewed in the UK with a view to it being a compulsory part of the curriculum from 2010 for children from 5 years and up (with age appropriate content). I'd referred the programme makers to the documentation on this issue so they would be aware of the directions that SRE was moving. This included a review of SRE and the government's response to this review.
Avoiding sex negativity
We have a long history of our sex education in schools and via the media using 'scare' messages to put people off having sex. The previous series was generally positive although the use of medical tests (swabs) and gory diseased genitals did represent sex negative programming. I recommended that where possible relationships be described positively, but with the caveats that a positive relationship would be based around respect, understanding and consent (and life skills tips on how to achieve those).
Being balanced
Sometimes teens tell you shocking things in sex education settings. They can do this because of embarrassment, because they want an answer to a question, because they are testing your boundaries, or because they think it's what you want them to say. If you're from the media there's an even greater chance of this happening. So I advised the programme makers to reflect on messages they were hearing and check carefully what they wanted to include in the programme to avoid being overly sensational. Aside from wanting to ensure accuracy, I wanted to avoid the programme worrying parents, or making teachers/health professionals' work more difficult, or hampering our efforts with sex education. After all, if it's a bleak or scary picture painted people may complain sex education was the cause, not the solution.
Negotiating our sexualised culture
One of the most striking findings about young people's psychosexual development has come from the American Psychological Association's 2007 report on the negative impact of living in a sexualised culture. Problems are being caused for teens by a society that has a high media sexual content, increased opportunities for sharing/accessing media, an established link between consumer products and sex, and an increasingly unrealistic and aspirational view about sex, coupled with a lack of comprehensive sex education that might help you negotiate this environment.
I recommended the programme identified some of the key areas where this was occurring, highlight to parents how this caused problems for young people, and provide information for teens on how to recognise and deal with this phenomena. The programme makers seemed to want to focus predominantly on porn, which runs counter to the APA review which puts porn within the sexualised culture but does not see it as the main or only cause of teen psychosexual developmental problems. I recommended the wider culture be reflected on, not a specific focus on porn alone.
The ethics of working with teens on sensitive topics
Part of consulting on the programme involved highlighting for programme makers means to make young people feel included and valued in any televised activities, while stressing the importance of setting a safe space for them to talk, ask questions, get answers, and opt out of filming if they wished. In particular I advised that young people may feel very self-conscious about relationship issues and discussing some (particularly sexuality or sexual activity) could lead to bullying, so all televised activities had to occur in the context of parental and school permission, young people's ongoing consent, with aftercare provided for young people.
Remember the basic questions/don't approach as an adult
Often the media responds to teenage sexual health/education in a moral or shocked manner, constructing teens as sexually active, promiscuous and precocious. Whereas the majority of teens don't have sex until they're 16 or over and want answers to very basic questions about sex. I recommended the programme didn't go for more sensational topics (i.e. internet porn addiction) at the expense of answering very standard questions teens have around development, feelings, desires and 'am I normal?' type worries.
Teens aren't a homogenous group
Following on from the above, we tend to see teens as the same, forgetting that many develop at different rates and are affected by multiple issues in their lives. So one twelve year old may be interested in hearing about reproduction, while another fifteen year old may not yet be mature enough to tackle this topic. Some teenagers come from families where there has been divorce, bereavement, abuse or other problems – so their understanding of relationships may differ from their classmates that may require additional support. Moreover teens coming from homes where sex is not discussed or presented as taboo, immoral, dirty or something to only be considered after marriage may have a different reaction to the whole concept of sex and relationships education.
I advised programme makers be aware of difference, and deliver messages in a sensitive way so those who really needed them could access them. I recommended the series didn't put homosexuality as an additional part of the programme but included it throughout the series. I also advocated a greater awareness of diversity within the series, so it wasn't tailored towards middle class white kids living in the London area (as programmes on teens so often tend to be).
Avoiding sacrificing evidence for being televisual
As already mentioned the first series did occasionally overlook or in places exclude evidence based practice to be televisual. I strongly cautioned against a repeat of this and suggested televisual life skills activities. For example, instead of just showing how to put condoms on, I suggested young people could be filmed talking about strategies for asking someone to use a condom, discussing responses when someone wouldn't do this, and challenging stereotypes like 'girls can't carry condoms'.
Steer clear of mixed messages
Within series one there were a number contradictory or confusing messages given. I recommended for series two that producers looked carefully to ensure they avoided a Cosmo-esque approach to talking about sex (aspirational, performance, positions and product based) and to check they were absolutely clear with key messaging to avoid misleading or worrying viewers.
Signposting and sharing information
A television show can't do everything. This series is only part of sex education efforts within the UK. So a key piece of advice from me was for the series to operate as a point for further discussion with clear signposting for young people so they could find further places of support. In particular I recommended showing how to find out sexual health services, explaining about confidentiality of services, and recommending how teens could talk to peers and parents/carers should they need to.
Next steps
I haven't seen the final cut of the series, so I've yet to see whether my feedback was included. As with any collaborative project I give the media the most accurate, balanced, clear and actionable information I can. It's up to them how they put it into action. Let's hope the Sex Education Show learned from the first series and can deliver a stronger series that truly represents education for all.

Cats Lead SEC Play in Blocks Per Set
Defense at the net has played a large role in UK's success in conference play, as the Kentucky Wildcats rank first in blocks per set in SEC play. The team averages 2.99 blocks per frame in conference play, with Brown, Franklin and Bergren all ranking among the top 11 blockers in league play. Brown leads SEC play with 1.85 blocks per set, while Franklin and Bergren tie for 11th in the conference, each with 1.05 blocks per set.
Brown in National Top 10
Brown is having a dominant season, finding herself in the top 10 nationally in both total blocks and blocks per set. Brown has logged 136 total blocks, good for fourth in the nation. She averages 1.62 blocks a set - sixth best in the nation. Her total blocks lead the SEC, while she ranks second in blocks per set in the SEC.
Dusek's Digs, Brown's Blocks Lead Conference
Dusek now leads the Southeastern Conference in digs per set, both in all matches (5.02 digs/set) and conference-only statistics (5.15 digs/set). Dusek's 422 total digs are a team best, with the East Bernard, Texas, native logging 206 in SEC action. Dusek's 5.02 digs per set is also good for No. 26 in the nation. Brown leads the SEC in total blocks (74) and blocks per set (1.85) in league play.
Still Streaking
Following the Nov. 1 weekend, the Kentucky Wildcats are ranked yet again in the Nov. 2 AVCA poll, coming in at 21. With the ranking, UK extends its ranking streak to 43 consecutive weeks, dating back to Aug. 18, 2012. The 43-week streak is the longest ranked streak under head coach Craig Skinner and the longest in program history.

The four-strong delegation, led by the ACA's Zimbabwean president Peter Chingoka, is to arrive in Nairobi on Friday to meet the two rival parties involved in a bitter dispute over the running of Kenyan cricket.
The committee was appointed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) at its board meeting in New Dehli earlier this month to seek a resolution to the impasse and will be assisted by ICC vice-president Percy Sonn.
Officials from the disbanded Kenya Cricket Association (KCA) who are fighting their January dismissal by sports minister Ochilo Ayacko for alleged mismanagement welcomed the intervention.
But the government-backed replacement Board known as Cricket Kenya has remained silent on the visit.
"We have been told that we will meet the delegation twice on Saturday," KCA chairman Sharad Ghai said on Wednesday. "We are ready to meet them and put our point across. We don't have many things to discuss with them."
The ACA team is expected to forward its findings to the ICC executive which may recommend that Kenya be stripped of its "One-day International" (ODI) status at its annual general meeting in June.
Kenya is the only ODI member of the ICC, having being granted the status in 1997.
Other members of the ACA delegation include the association's chief executive officer Kassim Sulaiman and Ray Mali, president of the United Cricket Board of South Africa.

Shipley's Gets Slapped (Somewhat) On Illegal Immigrants
The Shipley Do-Nut company and its president today received a stern slap as both pleaded guilty in federal court to charges related to employing and housing illegal immigrants.
Lawrence Shipley III, who took the helm of his family's Houston-based company in 2005, pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of continuing to employ undocumented immigrants. He was sentenced to 6 months of probation and was ordered to pay a $6,000 fine, U.S. Attorney Donald DeGabrielle announced today.
The company, DeGabrielle said, has agreed to plead guilty to a felony conspiracy charge, serve one year of probation and revise its immigration compliance program.
"I would hope that other businesses that are currently employing people here illegally," DeGabrielle said, "they would look to this and say that we are serious about not only enforcing our efforts at the border … [but] that those who are serving as a magnet to draw people here realize that they are literally risking their liberty as well."

The charges arise from a federal investigation that began in January and in April netted 27 arrests of undocumented immigrants employed by Shipley and living in housing provided by the company. In addition to the probation and fines, the Shipley company has agreed pay $1.334 million to the government in lieu of forfeiting the homes it provided for its illegal workers.
Three current and former Shipley supervisors and managers, Christopher Halsey, Jimmy Rivera and Julian Garcia, have also been charged and are scheduled to appear in court in early September, DeGabrielle said.
After the April arrests, immigration enforcement came under fire for seemingly only punishing the workers and not sanctioning their employers.
"Obviously we can't and haven't stopped every company from hiring people illegally, and perhaps in the past we haven't done as good a job addressing this problem," said DeGabrielle, "but we are serious about doing something about it when evidence comes to our knowledge. So hopefully the business community will take notice that there are consequences."
When asked if fines and probation send a strong enough message, DeGabrielle said, "I think a felony conviction for a company, the stigma attached to the convictions … [and] a $1.33 million forfeiture is not insignificant and are consequences. Perhaps you can say there are more serious crimes in the relative scheme of things, and I'm not saying that maybe somebody would look at this as the cost of doing business; if they want to, that's fine. We can't put a company in jail, we can only put people in jail and in the right case we will be doing that."

Class-Action Suit Dogs Credit Suisse First BostonOct 25, 2002 | Boston Business Journal
Credit Suisse First Boston Corp., the focus of a complaint by Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin charging the firm with analyst misconduct, is now the target of a civil class-action suit in Boston.
The lawsuit alleges that analysts with Credit Suisse First Boston known as CSFB issued reports publicly touting shares of Agilent Technologies Inc. of Palo Alto, Calif., while privately warning prized clients away from the company's securities.
Filed the same day as Galvin's complaint, the lawsuit could be the first of a tidal wave of litigation against the investment bank based on investigative work by the secretary of state's office.
A CSFB spokeswoman with the Swiss bank's New York office declined to comment on the case.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Boston on behalf of a single shareholder, Patricia Maillet, who owned "a couple of hundred shares," according to her attorney, Thomas G. Shapiro, with Boston-based Shapiro Haber & Urmy LLP. The stock was made attractive to investors by misleading analyst research that eventually was exposed as bogus, according to Shapiro.
Court documents refer to e-mails, uncovered by Galvin's office, bad-mouthing Agilent stock. One in particular describes what came to be known as the "Agilent two-step," whereby an analyst hangs a "buy" rating on a stock that he privately dislikes. "The average investor was not privy to any (contradictory) verbal information from CSFB," according to the Galvin report. CSFB has denied the allegations made in Galvin's report.
Measurement- and test-equipment maker Agilent underwent a public offering in November 1999, with stock going for about $30 per share. Analysts in 2000 set a target price of $87 per share, the class-action complaint said. Agilent stock in recent days has hovered around $10.
Shapiro said he could not calculate the potential damages, saying the number of people harmed by CSFB's false rating is unknown. But he hinted at the possible size in the complaint, noting that more than 72 million shares of Agilent stock were sold on its opening day.
Galvin's complaint also alleges CSFB misled investors by allowing its investment-banking division to exert undue influence on the firm's research department. Shapiro said that Galvin's legwork, much of which was made public prior to the Oct. 21 unveiling of the complaint, provided the basis on which his client sued.
The secretary of state's labors could spark an explosion of class-action suits against CSFB, experts said. "Usually it's not just one," said a plaintiff's lawyer, who asked not to be identified. "You'll usually see many."
In fact, this is the third such case Shapiro has filed against CSFB in recent weeks. And he proudly claims to have filed the first class-action against an analyst, last summer, Merrill Lynch & Co.'s Henry Blodgett, who is accused of misrepresenting a stock's value.
And there's more to come from Shapiro. "I anticipate we'll be filing more" against other brokerages, Shapiro said. "We've been contacted."

Full Length Test
Engineers often make scale models of structures they plan to build in order to test function and stability. Sometimes, however, structures fail even when the models function, so engineers have developed extensive theory in order to determine how to build proper scale models and extrapolate reliable results from them.
At first we might assume that a model made of the same material as the intended final structure with each dimension scaled by a single factor will accurately reproduce the behavior of the final structure. That this is not so was known in antiquity by tragic observation, and it was first explained by Galileo around AD 1600. We will not present his detailed argument but will sketch some of the conclusions.
To summarize Galileo's conclusion on this point, when the linear dimensions of a structure are all increased by a factor, the load across any surface increases by the cube of that factor, whereas the strength, or the maximum force the structure can hold across any surface increases by the square of that factor. Therefore, as a structure gets larger, it tends to become unstable, more susceptible to failure.
To illustrate the point, let's consider a block of metal connected to a cylinder, which has much greater length than its diameter and is connected to the ceiling (part A in figure). The stress in the cylinder is the force per area across a cross section. Each material has a threshold stress, such that stress larger than the threshold causes the material to fail. If all the linear dimensions are increased by a factor (part B in figure), then the volume of the block increases by the cube of the factor, as well as the mass and weight of the block. The cross-sectional area of the cylinder increases by the square of the factor, so the stress increases as the factor itself.
This is the simplest example of the subtlety involved in model building.
A lantern is hanging from a cable of negligible mass. The cable breaks when the weight of the lantern exceeds Wmax. What would be the breaking weight for a similar cable (same material, same cross section) which was 10 times longer?

Roy Jones jnr is adamant US superstar Floyd Mayweather jnr would consider Anthony Mundine the perfect opponent to defend his world junior middleweight titles against because Mayweather would consider Mundine "old and out of his prime".
Mundine became the mandatory challenger for Mayweather's WBC and WBA world titles when he defeated the previously unbeaten Sergey Rabchenko in Melbourne on Wednesday night in a split decision.
While many doubted whether Mundine would ever get his shot against boxing's pound-for-pound kingpin, Jones, who was in Newcastle for the opening of the One World Boxing Academy, told Fairfax Media the 39-year-old former rugby league star was someone who would appeal to Mayweather.
"Of course he would have a shot at him," Jones said of Mundine's chance of scoring the fight. "I mean, Mayweather would consider Mundine as old and out of his prime, so he would take that shot, but he'd be making a big mistake because Mundine is the kind of guy who could give him the fight of his life.
"Mundine is not a dumb fighter at all, sometimes he takes more damage than he has to, with Mayweather he would be the bigger fighter and he could afford to take Floyd's [knocks].
"Not many people beat him because they all like to try and chin him ...
Jones, who was knocked out in the first round of his IBO world cruiserweight title by Australia's Danny Green in Sydney in 2009, said he would be available to help prepare Mundine for the possible showdown but he was reluctant to openly share his insights.
"I can definitely prepare Mundine to give Mayweather as much trouble as he could possibly give him," he said. "I was glad Anthony put on a good show because Anthony is a good athlete – for him to go from rugby league to boxing shows you what kind of athlete he is."
Jones lamented one of the greatest problems that had plagued boxing was too many fighters of the current generation had ignored the fundamentals of boxing. If given the opportunity he'd most likely advise Mundine to focus more on not getting hit.
The future boxing Hall of Famer said that, at 45, he was in line to fight for the WBO cruiserweight belt after a run of victories in Russia, Poland and Latvia. Victory would mean he'd have won a world title in every weight division from middle to heavyweight.
"I'm a very good chance [for the fight] and it would be something to win that belt," he said. "I can fight for as long as I want, that's the thing about me I'm no kid, the sky is the limit. With my style, I am a more of a fascinating and exciting fighter than the great Bernard Hopkins – and he was going all right at 50 until the other night [when he was beaten by Sergey Kovalev].
"I can definitely go longer than he can. Don't ask me whether Hopkins should retire; I didn't tell him when to start, I can't tell him when to quit."
One of the partners of the One World Boxing Academy, Richard Claut, said the academy would inspire local children to make the most of their lives. He said children from troubled backgrounds would be mentored and coached.
He said an exchange program had been formulated with Jones to help improve the sport by allowing young Australian fighters to go to the United States where they would be coached and brought along slowly.
"It's very positive, we're blessed to have someone of Roy's calibre – someone who is a great giver – want to be involved," he said.

Boxer caught in Regency hit taken on hols by MGM gym
The boxer who fled in terror during the gun attack at the Regency Hotel earlier this year has been enjoying a holiday in Marbella – thanks to Daniel Kinahan and the MGM gym.
Gary Sweeney, who has served a doping ban, was videoed standing in a pair of superman underpants on the stage shortly before gunfire was heard during the Clash of the Clans weigh-in last February. David Byrne was shot dead during the event.
The 21-year-old, from Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, was seen running for his life as panic ensued at the now infamous fight promo.
Sweeney, who is one of the country's most promising young boxers, signed up to MGM after he was hit with a nine-month doping ban when he tested positive for a prohibited substance in Ireland.
Sweeney's coach, his brother Martin, was suspended for 27 months after he admitted providing the teenager with the banned substance Furosemide.
Gary Sweeney with his brother Michael
However, the pair signed the lucrative contract with the Spanish-based gym – which is fronted by Matthew Macklin – and the Clash of the Clans was to be his first outing.
Both brothers were in attendance at the Regency on the day of the attack, along with Gary's wife and nephew.
Despite his obvious terror, Sweeney has remained committed to MGM and has competed in two bouts under their colours since. In the past few weeks he has been enjoying a well-deserved holiday in the sun with his partner.
The two on holiday in Marbella
The Sunday World understands that MGM has been desperately trying to salvage its tattered reputation since the events of last February in Dublin, which has kicked off a major gangland feud.
A number of amateur boxers from Ireland, Scotland and the U.K. have been approached by representatives of the gym with the offer of free accommodation, training and promotion in exchange for signing up to MGM.
Macklin has recently returned to Marbella after a long absence from his Costa gym. It is understood that the boxer had returned to his native Birmingham where he had been keeping a low profile.
Boxers and sporting celebrities are regularly offered free holidays to Macklin's boxing gym, where Daniel Kinahan has been working openly as a manager despite heading up a murderous drug dealing mob from Spain.
They are put up in luxury villas, lavished with champagne and VIP access to local nightclubs and encouraged to wear the trademark MGM clothing range for photographs while socialising around Puerto Banus.
Promising young athletes have also been offered the chance of a lifetime to turn professional by gym spotters, who lure them with promises of a house in the sun for all the family, lucrative contracts and heavy promotion of their image.
Gary just before the gunmen entered
Two other boxers who were also in attendance at the Regency event were Jamie Kavanagh and MGM's Sean Turner, who was also hit with a one-year ban for anti-doping violations.
Kavanagh, whose father Gerard was murdered two years ago on the Costa del Sol, was seen vomiting as he fled from the shooting incident at the hotel.
As the shooting started
Following the death of his friend David Byrne, he said: "It was shocking and crazy at the same time."
Gary running as the gunmen approach
However, he said he had put the incident behind him: "I still have people today asking me, 'hey, how's it going, are you OK?' And all I can say is yeah, I'm OK. I've kind of put that behind me. And that's all I'm trying to do – put it behind me and move forward with my boxing career."
One of MGM's top boxers, 'Pride of Dublin' Anthony Fitzgerald announced his retirement from the sport following the regency attack.
He said on his Facebook page: "After long talks with my family I've decided to hang up my gloves," he said.
MGM are planning a boxing extravaganza for Liverpool in October.

Hellbound Glory at Pete's Monkey Bar, 4/8/11
Hellbound Glory last night at Pete's Monkey Bar.
Photo: Stephanie March
04.08.11 | Pete's Monkey Bar
There's a time and place for kick-ass country music, and Pete's Monkey Bar was the place to hear it last night.
Hellbound Glory's Friday show was far more country than expected, but it was a fine surprise. It's been a while since I've been in the presence of such rad and talented fellas. Upon taking the stage, they took requests from some hammered chicks who clearly had a thing for Merle Haggard and performed all the songs with just a little more edge than Hank Williams would have, but hey, when you're singing songs called "Either Way We're Fucked" and "Too Broke to Overdose," you gotta rock it a little raw.
To top it off, Hellbound Glory has perfected the art of looking cool and wooing their audience with drug-laced tales of losing women, drinking too much, and beating the shit out of Marines with their banjos. Seriously. While on a smoke break they regaled us with a story of how they got jumped by jarheads in Florida and had to fight them off with whatever they had handy. (The only thing left of the banjo was the neck.)
The band assured us that the music would've been far more complex had they not been necessarily banjo-less, but despite the lack of twang it would've provided Hellbound Glory rockabillied it out. Men were dancing, women were swooning, and the washboard-playing, country-wailing, hard-driving drunken debauchery lit up Pete's like a PBR can in headlights.

Powder Coatings Market in Western Europe 2015-2019
About Powder Coatings Powder coatings differ from water/solvent-based coatings in that they do not need a liquid suspension base, but can be used in the form of free-flowing powder. The market for powder coatings has grown considerably over the past few years owing to benefits such as excellent finish, ease of application, energy efficiency, eco-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. Powder coatings are more corrosion resistant than water/solvent-based coatings because of curing at high temperatures. These coatings are also safe to use as they eliminate the need for solvents that evaporate during the drying process and violate VOC regulations. Technavio's analysts forecast the powder coatings market in Western Europe to grow at a CAGR of 2.99% over the period 2014-2019. Covered in this Report This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the powder coatings market in Western Europe for the period 2015-2019. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated through sales of powder coatings. It also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of six key vendors in the market. It also provides data on the different segments of the market based on the following criteria: type (thermoset powder coatings including polyester, epoxy-polyester, epoxy, and acrylic powder coatings; and thermoplastic powder coatings including PVC, nylon, and other thermoplastic powder coatings); substrate (metals, plastics, and wood); application (general industry, architecture, automotive, and other applications); and key leading countries (Germany, Italy, Spain, and other countries in Western Europe). In addition, the report discusses the major drivers that influence the growth of the market. It also outlines the challenges faced by the vendors and the market at large, as well as the key trends that are emerging in the market.

A POSH city apartment block has become a gilded cage for some residents as they suffer through a $7 million project to repair major building defects.
Scaffolding will cloak sections of the prestigious Yve Apartments — once awarded the state's top architecture prize — for more than a year.
One resident contacted the Herald Sun to complain the curvy, shimmering St Kilda Rd complex had become "an ugly fortress".
"We're living on a construction site," said the resident, who declined to be named.
"The scaffolding is working its way up and around the building. It's a gilded cage. It's not a very pleasant place to live.
"You've got people paying big money for views and you can't even see out the windows."
Another resident told the Herald Sun some of his cashed-up neighbours were relocating to holiday homes or travelling overseas to escape the worst of the construction disruption.
Celebrity owners in the complex are believed to include tennis star Lleyton Hewitt and online retail entrepreneur Ruslan Kogan.
Works to fix problems affecting almost all of the 210 apartments started in late January, with the first of four stages nearing completion.
The Owners Corporation originally sought a $22.5 million payout from the developers, Sunland Group, over the alleged defects but ultimately settled a tribunal case for about $7 million.
Tribunal documents allege problems including poor balcony drainage, and rusting on some balustrading.
Yve Apartments Owners' Corporation chairman Robert Edge said there was "no doubt the project is causing some inconvenience".
But he stressed the repairs had been well-administered and carefully communicated and said he was confident owners and residents would be pleased with the end result.
"All being well, we'll be finished in 12 months … and everything will be fantastic," he said.
A spokeswoman for the Sunland Group said she was legally unable to comment.
Documents reveal the developer agreed to settle "without any admission of liability".
Defence documents filed by the developer's lawyers claimed most of the alleged problems were aesthetic and didn't compromise structural integrity.

As well as running this website and my events website What's On Where UK, I also run a digital quarterly magazine called Merryn Magazine. Over at Merryn, we love to champion independent retailers, unsigned music artists, charities, community groups and events. We also love to champion self-published authors, so every Wednesday, we will be bringing you a different self-published UK author! Take a look here for more information 🙂
Kindle Scout
Since 10th February 2016, I have been nominating books on Kindle Scout, but what is 'Kindle Scout'?
Kindle Scout is a place where readers vote on whether a book should be published or not. Those books chosen by readers are then published by Kindle Press and the author receives receive 5 year renewable terms, a $1,500 advance, 50% eBook royalty rate, easy rights reversions and is also featured in Amazon marketing. Every book has 30 days in which to gather as many nominations as possible and readers can nominate up to 3 books at a time. It is worth checking back every day as campaigns start and end every day. If readers nominate a winning book, they will receive an early, free copy of the book. This is a great idea for people who love championing new books.
In a world where it's harder and harder to get your book selected, it is great to see another avenue for authors to take, rather than simply approaching agents and publishers and hoping that their book doesn't get stuck in someone's slushpile.
I have been lucky enough to nominate some books that have been selected to be published, and once I receive a copy of the books, I will be reviewing them on this site.
I will list the Kindle Scout winning books, whether waiting to be reviewed or having been reviewed, here.
I think it's a great idea!

"A new chapter in cinema: why books are big at the 2016 Oscars"
I have just come across an article on The Guardian's website, "A new chapter in cinema: why books are big at the 2016 Oscars", where they say, "Of the nine best picture nominees to be announced this Sunday, four are based on novels and one – The Big Short – on a celebrated account of the 2008 financial crisis." This is great news for all authors out there, as there are so many books out there that would make great films, if only they were picked up. How many times have people gone to see films and said "the film was better" or "the book was better"? There couldn't be that conversation without there having been a book in existence first.
Stylist.co.uk posted their "100 best films based on books", and having looked through the list, I must admit that I hadn't realised that so many of them started out as books first, with the oldest film being from 1924 (Tess of the D'Urbervilles) to 2011 (Water For Elephants).
So, if you're currently promoting your book, or even still reading it, you never know: it might be the film adaptation of your book that's up for an Oscar in the future! 🙂
Our new book covers!
