FrightFest 2011
You know that feeling of dread you get when you go to see a horror film in the cinema...you know, wondering what other idiots will be in the screen and probably ruin your viewing experience, well that feeling was totally void throughout my experience at FrightFest. The audience are there to watch the films and they actually make the experience better. Clapping at cameos, delighting in devouring monsters, laughing at gruesome gore and gasping in all the right places, this is definitely the place you should watch a horror movie at. When the villains get their comeuppance or the annoying victim finally meets their grisly end and gets applauded by the audience you can't help but join in. People travel from all over just to view these films at FrightFest and the directors want their approval, if you get a good response here you know you have done your job properly.
With over thirty films showing and many of those being previews or premieres there was a strong air of excitement; lots of cast members and directors milling about in the foyer and even a few random stars making an appearance to get their fill of horror films. My aim was to view as many of the smaller films as I could, I was looking for films with original ideas that were executed well.
The Glass Man
The world premiere of Christian Solimeno's debut feature film, starring Andy Nyman, James Cosmo and Neve Campbell opened with an introduction from the Director and the leading man. Even Jane Goldman and husband Jonathan Ross turned up to watch the finished product. As if all this wasn't exciting enough, as I wandered into the cinema foyer I was greeted by Scott Bakula's wonderful face. He was happily signing autographs and having his photo taken with fans and it must have taken him at least thirty minutes to make his way into the screen. As I took my seat I shared my glee with my seat buddies, "Did you know Scott Bakula is here?" I loudly exclaimed! The lovely lady sitting next to me whispered, "Yes, he is sitting behind us." I turned scarlet and sunk down into my seat, too embarrassed to turn around and look, oh boy!
Solimeno has created an excellent psychological thriller that comments on the current economic climate and delves into the intricacies of the mind of a man pushed to the edge. Andy Nyman excels in his role as Martin Pyrite, and gives his most powerful performance to date. Nyman portrays a man who is a loving husband to his wife (Neve Campbell), but who is trying his hardest to hide the loss of his job and complete financial turmoil from her. He is visited by a debt collector called Pecco (James Cosmo) who offers him a way out of his dire circumstances. Driven by desperation Martin accepts his offer and the viewer follows the events that lead him into a downward spiral of devastation. There are moments of humour injected to lighten the ever building tension and some great conversational pieces between Nyman and Cosmo that will have you laughing out loud. Nyman's take on a man who has lost everything is captivating and twinned with the mounting tension built up by the director makes for palpable and unsettling viewing.
Released in the UK early next year
Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil
A witty and entertaining take on the hillbilly horror movie genre that manages to deliver on the gruesome kills. Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine) have finally saved up enough money to invest in a holiday home in the woody wilderness. Unfortunately a group of insufferable teens camping in the forest mistake them for in-bred killers and a bloody mess ensues. Tudyk and Labine work well together and the characters they play are likeable, funny and have a brotherly bond that gives them some substance. It is different to the Scary Movie spoofs as it is dealing with one particular genre of horror movie and isn't simply trying to fill ninety minutes with as many jokes as possible. The overall story shifts along at a fast pace and the kills are inventive, amusing and gory. There is some chainsaw chasing involving bees, a splattering wood chipper incident and a death by dreadful DIY. Laugh out loud funny with endearing lead characters; the best comedy horror I have seen in a long time.
Released in the UK on Blu-ray and DVD on 26th September
Troll Hunter
This film is of the found footage variety that luckily offers something completely different and visually exciting to the usual offerings. This is the second feature film from Norwegian director Andre Ovredal, his first being released over ten years ago, and he has certainly found his footing in this surprising and unique monster movie. There are rules when it comes to hunting trolls which is a solid base for creating some cult following – films about vampires, werewolves and gremlins – they all have quotable rules for survival. Trolls are averse to light, strong beams of light will deter and even destroy them and the smell of the blood of a Christian is potent, they can smell it from afar. There are a few variations of trolls and they live in tribes divided between the mountains and forests. Each troll is beautifully realised and imaginative in appearance. Otto Jespersen plays the weary and wise Troll Hunter and his performance is utterly endearing; he is sick of not getting any credit or good benefits from his secret trade so allows some student filmmakers to film his routine. An entertaining voyage into the mythological Norwegian world of Trolls.

The Innkeepers
A couple of slackers who work in a haunted hotel go about their daily routine with some ghostly and chilling encounters. Ti West was inspired to make this film after his stay in a Connecticut hotel whilst filming The House of the Devil; in a Q&A after the film he said that strange occurrences and a ghostly presence were felt in the hotel throughout his stay and there was no denying it. He has based the two hotel workers on their real life counterparts and it shows. Luke (Pat Healy) and Claire (Sara Paxton) are wry and lazy in their work ethic, but when it comes to the paranormal they portray a strong passion for it. Luke is a strawberry candy cable chewing, witty, porn loving guy with a good heart and Claire is his clever and curious work colleague. Ti West develops his characters so you actually care when they face dangerous situations. He has utilised three different chapters and an epilogue in this slow burner to present a creepy set of circumstances that will have you jumping out of your seat.

Kill List
Violent, clever, atmospheric, unpredictable and properly messed up; Director Ben Wheatly's second feature film builds tension with precision and the performances are all magnificent. The less you know about this film, the better, just go and watch it.

Special Mentions
Sennentuntschi: Curse of the Alps
The first Swiss horror movie did not disappoint; based on an alpine legend about three men living in a desolate cabin who when starved of female attention create a woman-like doll out of household objects. When they wake up in the morning with some serious absinthe induced hangovers their doll has come to life. French actress, Roxanne Mesquida takes on the role of the sex slave or Sennentuntschi, and does a very good job at being sweet, anguished and badass throughout the film. The local cop who takes pity on her is played so convincingly by Nicholas Ofczarek and it is this relationship that creates intrigue and suspense, allowing a certain amount of empathy to be felt for the position she is in. The setting is beautiful and the imagery is dark which creates a strong contrasting vista for the viewer, and also one that is rarely viewed in this format. The direction is strong for the most part, Michael Steiner keeps the viewer guessing throughout, but the big reveal at the end could have been handled better as it got a bit messy and confusing.

The Woman
Director Lucky McKee delivers an interesting and thought provoking take on American suburbia and the evil that may be lurking behind closed doors. A tale about a man who finds a primitive woman living in the woods and brings her back to his family home , locks her in the cellar and attempts to civilize and domesticate her.
Chris Cleeker (Sean Bridgers) is the patriarch who runs his family like a sadistic army major and rules it with fear. He abuses his wife (Angela Bettis) and eldest daughter (Lauren Ashley Carter) in the privacy of his own home whilst carrying on a career as a lawyer in the public eye. Sean Bridgers performance is outstanding, he delivers passive aggressive evil and violent outbursts with a persuasive swagger.
McKee tackles issues of gender inequality and the role of women to varying degrees of success. The violence against women shown in this film is not just simply inserted for the sake of it and moves the story along albeit brutally. I applaud McKee for deciding to cover this difficult subject matter, violence and outdated attitudes to women are still rife and it does bring these issues to light, but overall I didn't feel it reached the heights of a great film. There were some great performances, but the way some scenes were delivered fell short of great cinematography and felt more like music video cool.
For example, we are first introduced to "the woman" with some slow motion and speed up effects which are used along with some loud music to fully familiarize you with her powerful stance. This stylized filming is injected throughout and just felt out of place and almost immature. Dealing with such a serious subject, these musical interludes almost overshadow the strength of the family story of pain and abuse.
Released in the UK on 30th September
Panic Button
A cautionary tale about the amount of data we share on the internet and how it can be tracked and used against you. Four strangers win a competition on the social networking site all2gethr.com for an all expenses paid trip to New York. Little do they know that on boarding a private jet for an exciting and relaxing holiday they will instead face a terrifying ordeal.
It's low budget horror that plays with some interesting and relevant ideas to do with social networking. Delivering on some decent acting along with a claustrophobic plane ride makes this tense viewing. Intriguing Saw like psychological thriller that moves along at a fast pace.

And the rest
Fright Night 3D
This loose remake of the 1985 classic takes the original concept of "what would you do if a vampire lived next door to you" and delivers an enjoyable enough watch that unfortunately lacks the wit and excitement of Tom Holland's original comedy horror. Colin Farrell plays Jerry the vampire who lives next door to Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) a teenager who is given the role of saving the girl (Imogen Poots), the world and his mother (Toni Collette). David Tennant delivers his version of Peter Vincent with all his usual zeal, he plays an unlikeable, sex obsessed Las Vegas showman with a hidden past and really has some fun with the role. The 3D slightly marred the experience, as I couldn't see much of the background as it was so dark and murky at points, I seriously had to strain my eyes to get some sense of what was going on at times. Fast paced fun that uses special effects, prosthetics and some good one-liners make this a decent enough vampire flick.
The Holding
Cassie Naylor (Kierston Wareing) is struggling to run her farm along with her two daughters after the disappearance of her husband. Faced with financial problems and a couple of stereotypical inbred like neighbours trying to take over her farm she makes the decision to welcome a Scottish stranger into her household to help with the chores. Turns out this chap has some psychotic tendencies and all is not as it appears to be. A generic British thriller directed by Susan Jacobson that delivers mostly predictable viewing and an obligatory rape scene. Lifted by a strong central performance from Vincent Regan as a man with some serious issues.

Midnight Son
A low budget romantic vampire flick directed by Scott Leberecht, visual arts director for Spawn and Sleepy Hollow. Jacob is forced to work the night shift as a security guard due to a skin disease that makes him averse to light. The leading man, Zak Kilberg, is lovely to look at and nails the evolving role of Jacob from shy to assured with conviction. This is a slow burner full of quiet moments and a pace that only quickens in the last bloody act. Some of the visuals and effects are great, but the film never really takes the vampire genre anywhere original. Just as a side note, the people sitting either side of me at this screening both fell asleep.
Urban Explorers
A Creep/Hostel style horror directed by Andy Fetscher who looked suitably forlorn by the fact that the wrong copy had been sent to the festival. Unfortunately the version shown at the festival was without subtitles and I think some of the back story and reasoning for the villain's actions were lost in translation and it ended up feeling like a replica of the previously mentioned torture horrors. Great location shooting in the underground tunnels in Berlin gave it an interesting visual edge. As with many of the other films showing at the festival, the director was available for a Q&A at the end of the film and he recounted a story of the time he got shot protecting the booze for the cast and crew.
I was looking forward to some Drive-in B-movie horror in this anthology directed by Adam Rifkin, Tim Sullivan, Adam Green and Joe Lynch. Unfortunately what was delivered here was an immature and misguided attempt at homage that has been done better elsewhere. With shorts showing at the drive-in titled Wadzilla, I Was a Teenage Werebear, The Diary of Anne Frankenstein and Zom-B-Movie I was well aware bad taste would be on offer but it lacked any sense of fun or wit.

An original take on the Zombie genre, a light-hearted look at the life of a zombie as he takes a road trip to rekindle a romance and solve the mystery of his death. He is accompanied by a wisecracking loudmouth and a zombie with lesser intelligence called Cheese who acts as the muscle on their mission. It manages to be entertaining enough with the budget it has been given, but the acting, soundtrack and script were obviously overlooked in favour of some special effects and makeup. The slapstick style keyboard music started grating pretty quickly and the dialogue was pretty juvenile. They used the one original idea they had about Zombies having different levels of intelligence and didn't do anything else original with it.

Several treatment options for people experiencing hip and groin pain include rest, behavior modification, anti-inflammatory mediation, physical therapy and potentially surgery, if there is a labral tear or something equally serious, as stated by the New York Hospital for Special Surgery. Most people experience hip and groin pain that can be treated through nonsurgical means.
The first step to treatment for hip and groin pain is to visit a doctor. The doctor will diagnose the cause of the pain prescribe medication if necessary. Physical therapy, rest and stretching are typically the best methods of relieving pain and allowing the body to heal.
Sometimes, patients are mistaken about the kind of pain that they are experiencing. They may feel that they are experiencing hip or groin pain when in reality the pain is originating in their back or in their stomach. If the pain is actually coming from the back or the stomach, then patients will need a different treatment.
The labral tear is a more serious kind of hip and groin pain that often requires surgery, according to the New York Hospital for Special Surgery. The tear is often seen in athletes and performers who repeatedly use hip flexion, including runners, soccer players, football players, hockey players and ballet dancers.

Almost four years after the Joint Expert Panel on Pension Standards (JEPPS) submitted its final report with recommendations to fundamentally reform Alberta and British Columbia's pension systems, the Alberta government has introduced Bill 10, Employment Pension Plans Act.
Similar to B.C.'s Bill 38, which was passed earlier this year, Bill 10, if passed, will replace Alberta's current Employment Pension Plans Act (EPPA) in its entirety. In addition, as the Alberta government's press release indicates, Bill 10 includes "[h]armonized pension rules between Alberta and British Columbia, making it easier for pension plans to both start up and operate effectively for their members."
Some of the proposed changes to the EPPA follow the pension reform initiatives that have already been introduced in other jurisdictions, including in Ontario and the federal jurisdiction. For example, there are amendments to enhance plan member disclosure requirements and to require immediate vesting. Other Bill 10 amendments, however, mirror the "novel" amendments in B.C.'s Bill 38 (see our May 3, 2012 blog post), indicating that the western provinces intend to set out their own path to pension reform.Some of the more noteworthy amendments in Bill 10 include the following:
- Governance & Funding Policy Requirements: Consistent with the JEPPS' report, every plan would be required to have a governance policy, and defined benefit (DB) and target benefit plans would also have to have a funding policy.
- Solvency Reserve Accounts: Picking up on the JEPPS' recommendation to permit "pension security funds", Bill 10 would permit defined benefit plans, other than target benefit plans, to have solvency reserve accounts. Only payments made in respect of a solvency deficiency could be deposited in these solvency reserve accounts. Actuarial excess (i.e., excess assets over liabilities in an ongoing plan) or surplus (i.e., excess assets over liabilities in a terminated plan) in a solvency reserve account could be withdrawn, subject to requirements to be prescribed.
New Plan Designs:Following the JEPPS theme that "one size does not fit all", Bill 10 would permit different types of plans to be established in Alberta:
- Target benefit plans: Similar to DB plans, the plan text would set out a formula for determining benefits payable to members, but unlike a traditional DB plan, the target benefit plan text would also provide that any actual benefit under the plan could be reduced below the intended benefit. In addition, subject to prescribed circumstances, the plan could be amended to provide a temporary improvement in benefits. (Unlike Ontario, these target benefit plans would not be limited to unionized workplaces.)
- Jointly sponsored plans: Again, like DB plans, the plan text would set out a formula for determining benefits payable to members, but the costs and governance of the plan would be shared by participating employers and active members. Plan documents could also permit other classes of members to share the responsibility for plan governance. (Unlike Ontario, the focus does not appear to be on providing this type of plan in the public sector.)
- Negotiated cost plans: This type of pension plan would be established under a collective agreement, and contributions would be determined and limited by the collective agreement.
Both negotiated cost and jointly sponsored plans could be amended, with the written consent of the Superintendent, to reduce benefits if the circumstances of the plan required such a reduction.
In addition, Bill 10 includes limitation of liability provisions for the participating employers in all of these plans (and in the case of a jointly sponsored pension plan, this limitation of liability extends to participating employers and active members).
One JEPPS proposal that we did not see in either Bill 38 or Bill 10 is the proposed "ABC plan" – a multi-employer pension plan which was to be available to all employers and employees working in Alberta and B.C., including the self-employed. This proposal may have been shelved in light of the federal government's development of Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPP). It will be interesting to see if Alberta and B.C. (as well as the other provinces) "buy into" the federal government's PRPPs.
As we have noted in past posts on pension reform, the full impact of these changes (and whether they actually make it easier to establish and administer Alberta registered pension plans) remain to be seen. We look forward to reviewing the regulations when they are released in the coming months and writing further posts as Alberta's pension reform continues to progress.

Visions of aluminum dancing on the pedals.
Winter's rolling in and you're not keen on rolling carbon hoops in the snow, because no matter how bombproof and all around versatile they are, deep-dish aero in cold, icy slop just feels a little bit like heresy. Give your carbon a well-deserved rest and dig into your winter training miles with Vision's Team 35 Clincher Wheelset.
The Team 35s are made from lightweight and durable aluminum and employ a 35mm rim depth for a bit of wind-cheating advantage compared to standard box rims. That deeper rim also helps bolster stiffness, which helps counter the reduced spoke count and facilitate extra weight savings without increasing the price tag. A black anodized finish across the hubs and rims give a final touch of aesthetic appeal, with stealthy graphics completing the package.

Are these wheels tubeless compatible?
Yes, I did a little research online and the clincher set is tubeless compatible
Is there a rider weight limit on these?
90 kg according to the Visions website
Worth mentioning the wheel width
I have not used these wheels but have had several people ask about the width of these wheels so I thought it would be helpful to post what I found through a little research. The Vision team 35 has a internal measurement of 18.9mm and 23.7mm externally.

|Boukoku no Aegis 2035: Warship Gunner
|Release Date:
|: July 21, 2005
|War simulation
|Game Modes:
|Single Player
|PlayStation 2
Boukoku no Aegis 2035: Warship Gunner (亡国のイージス2035 ~ウォーシップガンナー~) is a movie tie-in video game for the Japanese live-action summer film, Boukoku no Aegis. Harutoshi Fukui, the author of the base novel, personally planned the screenplay for Boukoku no Aegis 2035. The game presents an original sequel to this continuity which has not been referenced in his other works.
Fifty lucky consumers who pre-ordered the game could have received one of six different film related merchandise with their purchase.
Miyazu's mutiny led to a peak in global terrorism and revolutionary nationalism for the first world powers. The major countries of the world declared war and formed a coalition which operated like the EU. Their consolidated armed forces led to the rebels' defeat; the ruling powers are currently processing the formation of the World Federation for the lofty goal of world peace.
Thirty years after the Isokaze incident, a new terrorist group calling themselves the Chollima Armada use the GUSOH and Ho Yong-Hwa's name to strike the outskirts of Kure. Since political friction prevents the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's deployment, the experimental and newly assembled Variable Equipment: Weapon, Engine and Bridge Vessel (VE-WEBV) Isokaze and its meager crew are the lone members of a secret defense division. Their mission is to subdue and identify the Chollima Armada.
Like the subtitle suggests, the basic gameflow and controls are the same as Naval Ops: Warship Gunner. Players use the directional pad for steering and movement. The left analog stick is used for aiming and Binocular Mode —for zooming onto targets— is assigned to the right analog stick. Default button configurations have been changed:
- : fire selected weapon.
- /: change current weapon.
- : initiate/disable automatic defense system (Intercept Mode from Warship Gunner).
Players are limited to one warship: the Isokaze. They cannot obtain another ship, enter Precision Mode with it, or assign any air crafts to board it. Its primary addition to distinguish it from other Warship Gunner warships is its one button default Aegis System (R2). A blue overlay will appear on the current screen to lock onto multiple targets within the selected missile's range. The fired missiles stay on target unless another object interrupts its aerial trajectory. Aegis Mode is usable with locked targets only; its sensors can be jammed by other warships. Once it is used, the player has a four second cooldown before it can be used again.
The default build for Isokaze includes Evasive Equipment (L1). Using it with proper timing can deflect multiple enemy missiles for a few seconds. Like weapons, this option can be used if it's equipped or until the slots for its usage are depleted. Players can acquire refills from defeated enemies. Status ailments which can be suffered from a direct hit (fire, flood, etc.) remain to inhibit ship performance and durability. Repairs are limited based on the difficulty setting. A full health and status emergency repair stops the ship's movement.
Most stages have enemy subjugation act as the main objective. Every stage includes a secondary objective; completing it affects the player's evaluation points and performance letter rating at the end of a cleared stage, S being the best and E being the lowest. S and A grades rewards exclusive equipment. Research cannot be conducted for new ship parts, so the player is encouraged to pick up crates from defeated foes or strive for S/A grade victories.
Completing a stage's main goal opens a prompt to either stay or leave the battlefield. Leaving skips to the grading screen. Staying allows players the chance to shoot down bonus reinforcements. The player can often receive parts not available during the main mission. A manual dismissal (second option within the Start menu) will need to be issued for the grading screen. Stages and enemies types tend to drop specific goods. New ship hulls and defensive stations can be earned based on the number of evaluation points and time spent to complete the game once.
Warship Gunner's ship modifications and artillery remains largely intact. Only the crab, cat, and the standard wave gun super weapons return as S rank or secondary playthrough bonuses. The unique weapons exclusive to this title include the GUSOH System. Using it causes immense damage to Isokaze's health and increases the chances of completely paralyzing the ship with status ailments. It has a wide area of effect and is difficult to avoid without its player usable anti-thesis, the Tpex. Certain Evasive Equipment may help escape or minimize its effects.
Self-explanatory. One save slot. Can only proceed into the next chapter. Players can continue from their cleared save to experience the story again. An extra battle is included for players who clear the game at least once.
New game for the main story on Easy, Normal, Hard difficulty. Total of twenty stages.
Battle and ship building tutorials.
Free MissionEdit
Unlocked based on save data progress in the main narrative. Players can use this mode to collect parts they may need for upgrades or parts completion.
Includes a visual dictionary for the game with character biographies, ship designs, and lingual based on the player's progress in the main story. A promotional trailer, character biographies using promotional photographs of the live actors' portrayals, and an encyclopedia for the film are included.
Adjustments for game difficulty, sound settings, brightness and game controls. Volume settings for music, voices and sound effects can be individually set. Auto save prompt can be turned on or off.

Atsumi recognized his worth and used his resources to name Miyazu Captain of the VE-WEBV Isokaze.
- Daisuke Atsumi
- Voiced by: Hirohiko Kakegawa
- Age: 74
- The only character from the novel canon. Atsumi retired as Director of DAIS twenty years prior yet he remains an influential behind-the-scenes political advisor.

- Kouji Asou
- Voiced by: Bin Shimada
- Age: 35
- Lieutenant Commander and Vice Captain of VE-WEBV Isokaze. Skilled yet cynical, his nonchalant sarcasm often led to him being swapped with multiple warships. Asou frequently reacts to events with unwarranted mockery. He genuinely trusts his superior's capabilities with time.
- Satomi Kikumasa
- Voiced by: Yumi Touma
- Age: 25
- Lieutenant Junior Grade and VE-WEBV Isokaze's Chief Radio Officer. She is serious and strictly dedicated to her profession. Asou's scathing commentary often invites an angered reaction from her. Kikumasa is the same family name for a marine who perished during a torpedo transfer aboard the DDG183 Isokaze, but their relation is questionable.
- Jeffery Stanford
- Voiced by: Daisuke Gōri
- Age: 45
- United States Vice Admiral and Fleet Commander of the 8th American Fleet. Stanford is an oafish glory hog and American supremacist, openly belittling the ideals and actions of foreign countries. His duty dictates his presence near the VE-WEBV Isokaze, but he uses petty excuses to refuse working with them.
- Rima
- Voiced by: Akemi Sato
- Age: ?
- Once System L is activated near VE-WEBV Isokaze, she mysteriously appears before Miyazu. No one other than the captain seems aware of her presence.
- Charles the XII
- Voiced by: Takeshi Aono
- Age: 87
- Chairman of Rochefort and the main face for the EU Conglomerate. The French man opposes Atsumi in global chats, supposedly following his own agenda. He is later revealed to be a long-lost and legitimate descendant of Bourbon royalty. Aspiring to lead a monarchy dictatorship, Charles discreetly gathers resources for his personal fleet.
- Ho Yong-Hwa
- Voiced by: Ryotaro Okiayu
- Age: ?
- Leader of the Chollima Armada who wields GUSOH and makes several threats to the Japanese government. He uses Ho Yong-Hwa as his pseudonym, as the real McCoy perished thirty years ago.

|Identification of littorines
|There are 5 indigenous species of Littorina winkles inhabiting the wave-splash areas of west-coast shores. The largest is Littorina sitkana and the smallest is L. subrotundata, with 3 intermediate-sized species Littorina scutulata, L. plena, and L. keenae.
Research study 1
Of the 5 littorine species on the west coast, Littorina scutulata and L. plena are the hardest to distinguish. As adults, scutulata is larger than plena. For equal-sized specimens, and if a 16% chance of error is acceptable, then plena can be distinguished by the presence of an ivory-coloured band on the base of the main body whorl. If 16% is not good enough, but a 4% chance of error is, then one can use a multivariate statistical approach using several shell dimensions of each species (see drawings on Left).
The analyses produce 1st and 2nd prinicipal components indicated here as size and shape variation, respectively (see graph). Note the overlap of 4% where differentiation of the two species is obscured. The author notes that a multivariate statistical approach has the advantage of low error rate, can be used on empty shells, measurements are easily made, and the calculations can be done on a hand calculator.
Research study 2
Still not clear, but have some extra time? Then check out egg-capsule and penis morphology of the 2 species, which should yield 0% error. Female Littorina plena produce planktonic egg capsules with 2 outer rims of nearly equal diameter, while males possess an attenuated penis with an elongated tip (see drawings on Left).
In comparison, female L. scutulata produce egg capsules with 2 rims of different diameters, and males possess a somewhat truncated penis. Additionally, the radulae of the 2 species differ significantly in the length-to-width ratios of the rachidian or midline cusp (data not shown here). Finally, and as a major part of their study, the authors show clear separation of the 2 species using electrophoretic techniques.
NOTE the mean ratios for N=20 for each species are 0.87 for L. scutulata and 0.99 for L. plena
Research study 3
A study of Littorina scutulata and L. plena using specimens from California, Oregon, and Washington reviews previously reported differences and adds some new ones (see figure on Left). The drawings show previously established differences in penis morphology and egg cases, but adds the following: a basal ridge is absent on scutulata, a pale white band at the base of the shell is less distinct in scutulata than plena and, finally, checks are larger on scutulata than on plena, by about 4-fold.
Additionally, where bandings on the shell occur in Oregon/Washington specimens, there are usually 2 on the main whorl in plena, but 3 on scutulata (see figure on right). The author notes that plena is more common in large bays where freshwater enters, while scutulata is more common on exposed outer shores.
Research study 4
A later study on these 2 species reiterates previous findings regarding pale band, ridge, and size of checks, and adds another difference in tentacle banding and spots. To reiterate, a pale band and ridge most noticeable on the most recent whorl are found more often in L. plena, and large checks are characteristic of Littorina scutulata, while small checks are features of L. plena. New features include interrupted transverse bands or bands and spots on tentacles of Littorina scutulata, in comparison with a broad lengthwise strip with or without bands on tentacles of L. plena.
Collections of littorinids from around northern Washington reveal proportionately more L. plena than L. scutulata and considerable overlap in distributions. The authors note that while L. scutulata tends to be found only in moderately exposed to sheltered areas of Puget Sound, L. plena is found from sheltered areas to wave-exposed headlands of the outer coast. Note that this contrasts with what is found in the previous Research Study 3. Photograph courtesy Linda Schroeder, Pacific Northwest Shell Club, Seattle, Washington PNWSC.
NOTE for additional help in identifying west-coast littorines using morphological and allozyme variations, see
Research study 5
The morphological and ecological similarity, and common occurrences, of Littorina scutulata and L. plena along the west coast prompts the question of evolution by sympatric speciation. Data on distributions from 41 sites from southern British Columbia to southern California show common occurrence in 71% of the sites. Twenty-four percent of the sites have only plena. The author has compiled estimates from several studies using a variety of sequencing methods, including cytochrome-b sequencing, and arrives at a mean value for divergence of 8.4mya (range = 1.3-18.6mya). Based on the extent of their overlap in distributions, the author actually favours allopatric speciation followed by range expansion. The author notes that while there is not much difference in ecological preferences of the 2 species, there appears to be a slight tendency of plena to live higher on the shore and to favour areas with more freshwater influence than scutulata.
NOTE the author remarks that this is the most parsimonious hypothesis at this time and is one favoured by other authors. For more information on evolution of world species see Reid 1996 Systematics & evolution of Littorina. The Ray Soc., Lond, 463 pp.

There's plenty of Twitter traffic flying around the U.N.'s vote to recognize Palestine as a non-member state. Mostly, pro-Palestinian activists are just cheering a victory, but it's not too hard to find less savory commentary. Some are demanding that the Palestinians use their new status to drag Israel into the International Criminal Court; others are taking it a step farther.

Zimbabwe Traverses a Rugged Political Terrain
HARARE, Mar 24 (IPS) - Leroy Muzamani from Zimbabwe's low income suburb, Highfield, sits with his chin resting on his hands.
Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai rally on Jul. 29, 2013, two days before Zimbabwe's election. Many Zimbabweans are disillusioned by the country's political leadership. Credit: Jeffrey Moyo/IPS
Dressed in a worn shirt, shoes that have been repaired multiple times and a pair of oversized trousers, he waits by the public works department in the country's capital Harare, hoping that he will be hired by them to work as a casual labourer for the day.
"We always hunt for casual jobs that are not even there. Since 2002 elections, many of us have placed our hopes on our political leaders, thinking they would solve our unemployment problems, but alas..." Muzamani tells IPS. 3
Muzamani is a professional marketer who has never been employed in his qualified profession. And he blames the government for not prioritising the plight of Zimbabwe's jobless.
According to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, the country's unemployment rate was 10.70 percent in 2011. However, the United Nations World Food Programme estimates that Zimbabwe's unemployment rate is as high as 60 percent.
Consequently, like many other Zimbabweans, Muzamani has lost hope in the political course this southern African nation is taking.
"We have many unanswered questions right now as we hardships, wondering about who shall really change the dynamics of our politics for the better. major political parties have proved to be failures as they are seized with internal power struggles," he says.
The ruling Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF) is ridden with internal fissures as factional groups are said to be positioning themselves to succeed their 90-year-old leader, President Robert Mugabe.
One Zanu-PF faction is reportedly led by the country's, and party's, vice-president Joyce Mujuru. The Zanu-PF secretary of legal affairs, Emerson Mnangagwa, allegedly leads another.
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change-Tsvangirai (MDC-T) is equally ridden with divisions amid calls for its leader Morgan Tsvangirai to step down due to his repeated failure at the polls since 2002.
In February, the deputy secretary general of the MDC-T, Elton Mangoma, wrote a letter to Tsvangirai, urging him to step down and pave the way for a new leader with fresh ideas.
However, this did not go down well with Tsvangirai's supporters in the party, who pushed for Mangoma's suspension. It consequently caused anxiety for many Zimbabweans like Muzamani who feel political leaders here offer them no hope for a better future.
"There is growing confusion amongst ordinary Zimbabweans as to which political leaders to entrust their hopes; they now doubt Mugabe, and they also equally now doubt Tsvangirai," political observer Whatmore Makokoba tells IPS.
Civil society leaders here are also sceptical about the future of Zimbabwe's main political parties.
"With fissures widening in Zimbabwe's major political parties, Zanu-PF and MDC-T, for them really the future looks uncertain. Both may be headed for their Waterloo," Claris Madhuku, director of the Platform for Youth Development, a democracy lobby group here, tells IPS.
Independent political analyst Malvern Tigere tells IPS that it raises the question of "who shall Zimbabweans follow now between a failure and failure?"
"First it was Mugabe who raised Zimbabwe's hopes at independence from Britain in 1980 when he came to power. But his government only helped to diminish the gains made during the colonial era and now many Zimbabweans look back to the colonial era with nostalgia," Tigere explains.
"Secondly, we have Tsvangirai who kindled the hope of a departure from Mugabe's on power, but is now personally mired in leadership wrangles in his own party, rendering millions of his supporters disillusioned."
But the country's major political parties don't see it that way.
"Zanu-PF has a history of an unquestionable degree of unity since its formation over half a century ago and it remains a trusted political party by Zimbabweans to this day," Zanu-PF national spokesperson Rugare Gumbo tells IPS.
MDC-T national spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora is equally confident of his party's leadership.
"MDC-T remains the only alternative for real change in Zimbabwe. It's an organised party unshaken by fallacious rumours of fissures spread by our detractors," he tells IPS.
But socio-political commentator Brian Mateyo tells IPS, "if main political actors are really failing, it means there is ground for other political forces to emerge."
David Chidende, programmes officer for Youth Information and Education for Behaviour Change, a democracy lobby group, does not rule out civil unrest.
"Civilian-led uprisings can happen, but it's not too obvious. Young people have to re-strategise and form a mass movement that will champion the democratic course for this country. As the youth of this country, we are the most affected, and if we relax, we risk suffering in perpetuity," Chidende tells IPS.
Muzamani says it may be the only way to enforce political change.
"As betrayed ordinary people, we shall be one day forced by circumstances to take matters into our own hands and lead the struggle for political change on our own," Muzamani says.

The Digital Post has met James Windon and Matt Mahan, respectively President and CEO of Brigade, the new much-hyped app for sharing political views. For now, the primary aim of the platform is to boost civic engagement in the US in view of the next presidential elections. Can it become also in Europe a useful tool to bridge the historical gap between the EU and its citizens?
What is the main idea behind Brigade?
What has been the general response so far? How do you think the tool might be of help in the context of the next US presidential elections?
How social and technologies can play a role in enhancing civic engagement?
Internet can be a formidable tool to push political engagement, but also towards undemocratic values, as it is illustrated in Europe by the rise of populism movements, which have been thriving on the use of social networks and media. What do you think?

Hi all
I have a vintage style card to share using the lovely Gypsy Gypsy paper pad from Craft Consortium.
For the topper i cut out the floral toppers that came with the pad and mounted them onto patterned paper and trimmed to fit. I then glued a length of lace along the bottom and added a gem to finish before adding it all to the card centre.
I finished the card of by adding a cluster of paper flowers and buttons.

U.S. House passes GMO labeling compromise
Centennial, Colo. July 14, 2016 – Colorado Farm Bureau is pleased that the House of Representatives passed the S. 764 by a vote of 306-117. S. 764 created a national labeling standard for food containing GMO's.
"We would like to thank Congressman Lamborn for standing with Colorado agriculture today and joining Senators Bennet and Gardner in passing legislation creating a national standard on GMO labeling," President of Colorado Farm Bureau Don Shawcroft said. "This legislation will end the confusion created by a state-by-state approach to food labeling."
In 2014, Colorado turned down GMO labeling by 65% of the vote showing Colorado voters understood state-by-state labeling only creates confusion. S. 764 was compromise legislation that preempted single state laws and created a national standard.
"A federal standard is needed to bring stability to the food marketplace," continued Shawcroft. "We cannot operate with a patchwork of state laws. It was surprising to see Colorado representatives from the western slope and eastern plains oppose this legislation. This law was a compromise that was not pleasing to everyone but was necessary because of the legal implications that the Vermont law imposed on the rest of the country. While it passed with overwhelming support, it is disappointing that the majority of Colorado representatives did not side with their farmer and rancher constituents."
The legislation now proceeds to the President for signature.
Colorado Farm Bureau (CFB) is the state's largest grassroots organization with more than 25,000 members across the state. CFB seeks to promote and protect the future of agriculture and rural values.

I will be in New Orleans in April for one of my occasional three-week binges. Will be hitting many old favorites (Clancy's, Galatoire's, Patois, Domenica, among others), some new faces (Carrollton Market, Primitivo, Rebirth, Compere Lapin), and some spots I've had on my list forever but somehow never got to (Vincent's, Sammy's, GW Fins). I have at least a couple of dinner slots left and was wondering what anyone here thought of these options: Cavan, N7, Kenton's, and Revolution (I've had the Death By Gumbo, but not a full meal). Thanks much for any opinions. This board has been a huge help in the past.

Acclaimed author Margaret Atwood is the latest addition to the faculty for our 2012 Writers' Workshop Program. The Booker Prize-winner tells us her workshop, "The Time Machine Doorway," will focus on first chapters, saying "The first chapter is the doorway to the book. It is always a time machine: When are we? It is also always a come-on: Lure us in! Of course, in order to write the opening chapter you will have to know quite a lot about the world you are inviting us to enter: Who's talking? Where is this voice situated in relation to the events we're about to follow?"
Atwood's workshop will be open to writers with some experience who are writing or wish to write a work set in the nearish future. Admission will be based on a writing sample, and class size will be limited to 12 participants.
Atwood joins fellow workshop instructors Paulette Bates Alden, Mary Morris, and Lee Smith. Read more about the program and find complete descriptions of each workshop @ kwls.org/workshops. More workshops to be announced later this week.

- What a beautiful painting, and what a beautiful man. But what is this? Oh, my God is raining! The painting, the image the colours are drifted away under the cold drops of water.
- Damn it! said the vendor. They told me that is an oil painting, not a painting in water colours. Strange!
- Yes, it strange indeed because is really an oil painting I cant believe what an ugly man had lived inside this beautiful shell. On his face you can see crimes, disasters, lies! In fact all the beauties of this world had lived under this golden painting. Well is just another Dorian Grey portrait. Well done to the portrait painter!
- Hey, miss would you like to buy this painting? Is two in one
- Of, youre right is two in one, indeed. When the beauty is gone remains only the beast. So is in the real life! Sir, keep it to you and let me give one piece of advice.
- Sure one sweet advice in change for a bitter rain!
- Next time when you get beautiful portraits, put them out of the reach of the sun and rain!

Very little video, and again if I do do video it will be for the web. There is a chance I may do some light recording with cubase, but never more than 2-4 channels in, then it would be transferred back to my dual g5 for editing and overdubs. I really want something small and protable (12"). I don't want to have to replace all of my main apps soon. I'm really concerned just how bad PS, Dreamweaver and Flash will be under Rosetta. My thought is a G4 just might work for me for a couple of years. But on the other hand if my main apps perform ok under Rosetta I might wait for the Intel ibook..I cannot at the moment afford a mac book pro, just to much money. I want to keep the cost around 1200. I'd like to hear some advice from experienced users. Keep in mind I will probably never try to use Imovie or Final Cut Pro for that matter on the laptop

My problem is similar to This problem .. but i donno how he solved things so i decided to post a new topic.
Well my problem is major .. and it is :
I have these drives on my comp :
C:\ D:\ E:\ F:\ G:\ (A:\ for floppy and H:\ for CDrom)
C, D & E = partitioned drives = 80GB (forget other drives now)
My windows is on drive C: .. which is 20gb ..
Now the problem is .. i had like 1gb left on C: .. but thn it came to 55mb or so.. so it gave me a warning to clean up .. i dont know why it came to 55mb from 1gb .. coz i dont save anything on my C: (jst windows files .. and few other things .. but my main usage is on other drives)
Anyways so i cleaned up and gave it like 200mb space
Then within minutes it dropped down to 5mb .. i was like What the...!
This time i transfered few heavy photoshop files and pictures to other drive .. and cleaned up 200-250mb .. within mintues it again dropped down to 5mb.
I told this to my brother .. he couldnt believe .. so this time i cleaned up 500mb .. and again in few minutes it dropped down to 2mb.
The thing is .. whn i try to calculate my C: drives folders .. i come up with 10-12GB .. that means i dont know where the [bleep] is this extra 2GB .. neither i know where this space goes in minutes which i make.
I even stopped surfing .. coz i dont have more thn 2mb on C: .. and seriously man i dont have anything to delete/move.
i DO have norton .. but i dont use it at all .. its very old version .. and the "auto-protect" funtion also doesnt works (atleast whn i try to check it .. it still unchecks)
Thanks in advance !

The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) formed an expert panel that includes an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) professor to probe into the 26-minute blackout during India-Sri Lanka ODI at Eden Gardens on Christmas eve.
With the issue taking the shape of a controversy and gathering political storm, CAB president Jagmohan Dalmiya said the causes were not yet identified and it was necessary to form a four-member panel to find out what went wrong.
"The panel will consist of Prof Goutam Poddar (professor, electrical engineering, IIT Kharagpur), Prof Goutam Bandopadhyay (professor, electrical engineering and energy resources and management cell, Bengal Engineering and Science University), Dr Biswanath Roy (reader, electrical engineering, Jadavpur University) and Sadhan Mukherjee (retired chief engineer, PWD and CAB consultant)," Dalmiya said.
"It's necessary to take the assistance of the experts on the field to delve deep into the matter... to prevent future recurrence fully or to the maximum possible extent," he said.
There has already been a clutch of committees with the latest being announced by Sports Minister Kanti Ganguly who on January 3 announced that a final five-member panel has been formed to investigate into the power failure at the towerlight near Block E during the one-dayer.
Earlier, Additional Commissioner of Police (armed) Debashish Roy in his confidential findings submitted to police commissioner Goutam Mohan Chakraborty had blamed CAB and said a "defective" power-circuit had caused the black-out.
Dalmiya, however, had rubbished the findings and said the probe report was yet to be out.
The CAB already had in place a seven-member panel, including police commissioner Gautam Mohan Chakraborty, set up immediately after the black-out on December 24.
The CAB and state power suppliers, CESC, were engaged in a blame game following the power failure.
The CESC had said there was no problem with the power supply and blamed the CAB saying maintenance failure as the cause of the black-out.
The CAB on their part had said there was shortage of power supply and Dalmiya announced that they would get high power generators for each of the four towers and CESC's power supply would be used as back-up.
The Eden power fiasco was not one-off. An IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Deccan Chargers had been plunged into darkness with the floodlights suddenly going off in April, 2008.

"I'm not going to touch it," one replied.

Financial Planner Confesses to the 47 Loopholes He Exploited to Make the Rich "Richer"
Published on October 18, 2017
Do you risk outliving your savings? This is a painful reality faced by millions of retiring Americans. However, thanks to 47 recently revealed loopholes, it's possible for America's seniors to gain a few extra hundred dollars a week, or even a few thousand a month, and live their retirement in comfort.
These are loopholes millions of hardworking Americans need to know about.
Because, despite working their fingers to the bone, one third of senior households have saved NOTHING for retirement.
These are honest people who spent their lives looking forward to taking it easy in their twilight years. And now as many as 25 million of them will spend it hunting in bargain bins, being forced to wile away the days watching reruns on TV and dreading getting sick because they can't afford the meds to get healthy again.
If you've been lucky enough to save for a comfortable retirement, I salute you and you can stop reading. If, however, you're like the millions of others seniors panicking over how you'll sustain your lifestyle in the decades to come, this is the most important page you'll read today.
Because the 47 little known loopholes I have to share with you are the same tricks the rich have used to fill their bank accounts, while the hapless folks in central government scratch their heads, clueless on how to stop them.
These loopholes can earn you more than a second job
You may be wondering how do I know about these 47 loopholes and what makes them so special? After all, you can get all the money saving tips you need from Bloomberg and MoneyWeek magazine , right?
My name is Zach Scheidt. You probably haven't heard of me and that's for a very good reason. Because until recently, I was the guy the rich went to for, shall we say, "unconventional" financial planning advice.
As a Hedge Fund Manager and Financial Consultant in Atlanta, I was paid a lot of money to uncover ways of setting up money pumping pipelines into my clients' accounts.
These were people who made more money in a year (or sometimes even a month) than many people make in their lifetime. But that still wasn't enough for them. And they hired me to find ways of milking the system for every last drop.
I'd spend my days studying the fine print of 401(k) instructions, analyzing musty financial reporting regulations and finding devious ways of using the intricate terms and conditions of life insurance companies against them. And my clients were getting rich beyond their dreams because of it.
What would I tell my daughters?
But I wasn't born in this world. I didn't grow up with a silver spoon in my month or the sense of "entitlement" that hangs around those super wealthy types like overpriced cologne.
I come from humble beginnings. I grew up believing in fairness, generosity and equal opportunity. Watching how America's oligarchs abuse the system, while hardworking Americans find themselves on the breadline, made me sick to my stomach.
When my daughters were born I had an epiphany. I knew that one day I'd have to explain to them what I did. Telling them that "Daddy helps greedy, sociopathic rich people get richer" was not the answer I wanted to give.
So I decided to take a hammer and smash the "rich club" cabal.
I quit their world to start a financial research company in Baltimore. Yes, plain, middle of the road, blue collared Baltimore. But trust me, I've had enough of being around the decadent elite to last a lifetime.
What's In My Big Book of Income
I want as many people as possible to benefit from what I know about making money.
So I've compiled 47 of the most powerful loopholes, tactics and financial tricks that have made money for my clients hand over fist into what I call my "Big Book of Income".
These tactics are surprising, cunning and, in some cases, ruthless. However, I promise you these loopholes are all 100% legal and you won't have the Feds knocking down your door (that is unless the government wises up and closes them).
These "money machine" building tips include:
- A tiny handwritten note to clip onto your social security application to get $570 extra every month like clockwork
- A little known "billionaire trick" that adds $5,233.85 to your bank balance (it takes only minutes to do and has nothing to do with Bitcoins)
- The income loophole used by a collective of former farmers known as the "Quincy millionaires" to quietly get automatic payments, which they've used to create a slice of paradise among the plains of Florida
- A filing strategy discovered by Boston academic Laurence Kotlikoff that's now exploited by 2% of Americans to chop a chunk from their tax return.
- How to legally beat the IRS and claim half a year's salary from the US government when you retire (just this tactic alone could transform your living standards in retirement)
- How to claim a $152 Hanukkah cheque even if you aren't Jewish
- Steps to becoming a "digital landlord" and earn a backdoor income without owning a single property
- How I helped my parents make $1,200 a month through the "homeowners income loophole" (that's nothing to do with a tax rebate).
- How to collect royalties when your favorite song is played on the radio even if you never wrote, recorded or performed in it (I still can't believe how this works myself)
These are just a few of the income secrets in my new book. You can find out what the others are in this short presentation I created.
How to Get Your Copy
Now, if you were thinking that you'd have to attend a "seminar" or "training workshop" to gain a copy of my book then I have good news for you (if you've been unlucky enough to attend one of these "startup business" events you'll know how they're little better than garbage sales pitches for pyramid schemes)
While my book isn't totally free, it's as good as.
This information is so valuable I didn't want it to simply be a digital eBook or PDF that never gets read and is left to gather digital dust.
No, siree. I want to make sure people READ what I have to share. So I paid a printers to produce 100 or so PRINTED books, for people to read, annotate, share and earn great wealth from.
Now, I want to at least break even on this endeavour. So I've added a small amount to the shipping so we're all square.
Why am I doing this?
You may be wondering why I'm giving info away all this valuable financial advice for practically free, which I charged my clients thousands of dollars in consultation fees for?
There are two reasons...
First, the idea that a third of seniors will spend their retirement in poverty is not the America I believe in. If you see someone in trouble then you should do whatever you can to help. That's the American way.
I want to help as many honest, hardworking folk to make a few extra dollars a month, or a few thousand a month, as I can. If I can help people live their retirement in comfort and dignity I know I'll be to look my daughters in the face and tell them that I'm doing good in this world.
My second reason for giving away information, which took me years to compile, is so I can introduce you to my monthly financial newsletter: Lifetime Income Report.
I'll include a free copy with my Big Book of Income. You can then read it at your leisure and decide whether to stay on as a subscriber or just keep the book, at no obligation.
If that wasn't enough, I'm also going to give you three bonuses:
- Little Booklet of Retirement Freebies - How seniors can get movie tickets, VIP seats and more for FREE (or at a big discount)
- 10 Ridiculous Tax Deductions Your Accountant Never Told You - How to keep more of your money from the new income streams I show you
- 9 Ways to Live into Your 90s - How some people never get sick, energy and enjoy active retirement
Find out more about my Big Book of Income and 3 bonuses
Having enough money in retirement is a choice
Even if you've saved for retirement, the world is an unstable place. If something happens in the housing market, the banks have to be bailed out again or if you or your partner gets sick, will you have enough money to get by?
Thankfully, living a financially comfortable retirement can be a choice. And I don't mean choosing between making huge sacrifices or working until you drop. It can be as simple as choosing to make working SMARTER by setting up a few of the money pipelines I show you how to build in my book.
But I don't want to put unrealistic thoughts in your head. My Big Book of Income is highly unlikely to turn you into a millionaire. You'd need a long string of luck for that to happen.
However, if you just implement one or two of the loopholes I reveal, you can potentially add several hundred dollars to your income, consistently month after month. Then if you follow more of the steps I show you, you may even add a few thousand dollars to your bank balance - money that can have a major impact on your living standards.
Just imagine not having to worry about about outliving your money?
To not dread the birthdays of your grandkids or Christmas because they're expecting presents you can't afford?
To not spend your retirement hiding at home watching daytime TV because you can't afford to join your golf buddies? Or going on cruises instead of settling for walks around the park?
This is the lifestyle I want as many retirees to gain as possible. And I believe my Big Book of Income can get you there. There may not be such a thing as a free lunch. But my "Big Book of Income" comes close.

Medieval Europeans thought moving bodies acquired an "impetus" that kept them going in the absence of external forces until this "impetus" gradually dissipated. They were wrong -- moving bodies keep moving indefinitely at constant speed in a straight line when no force acts upon them. But in spite of Newton, Einstein, and astronauts who correctly plotted courses to the moon, the medieval belief seems to linger.
It may even be reflected in the way some college students who have studied physics think about the subject.
Michael McCloskey, Alfonso Caramazza, and Bert Green of Johns Hopkins University report a study indicating that many students who have completed one or more physics courses, as well as many students with no such instruction, fail to grasp the fundamental principles of mechanics. This is not simply ignorance of how things move, but a firm and widely shared preconception of how they ought to move -- a kind of naive physics with "laws of motion" reminiscent of the medieval view.
In saying this, the psychologists are generalizing from the results of an experiment with 47 students recently described in Science. Of these, 15 had no formal physics education, 22 had completed one high school physics course, and 10 had finished one or more college physics courses.
They were given a set of diagrams in which balls moved along curved paths. They were asked to show how the balls would move when the forces causing them to travel along curves were removed. In each case, the correct answer would be motion in a straight line. But a significant number of the students didn't think of it that way.
For example, on a diagram where a ball went through a tube curved in the form of a "C," 33 percent of the students showed it emerging from the tube and continuing along a curved path. This type of error reached 51 percent when the diagram involved a tube bent into a spiral. Also, 30 percent of those tested thought a ball whirled on the end of a string would continue.
This was a consistent mistake. It exhibited a shared misconception among large percentages of those tested. Interviews with some of them indicated they thought the curve of the tubes or the pull of the string would impart a carving "momentum" to the ball that would eventually dissipate. This echoes the medieval belief in an"impetus."
As the Johns Hopkins scientists point out, educators need to do more than try to teach the facts of a subject like physics. They also need to take account of any strong preconceptions students bring to the subject. Otherwise, they may only teach a "new terminology for expressing . . . erroneous beliefs."
Beyond this, their results hint at the persistence of old beliefs within a culture (in this case, Western culture) long after a different world view has supposedly displaced them.

Along with some awesome SLC and Vanedo sheet masks, I was sent a pair of Soomon smooth heel care patches from the Ebay store dhowaus. Unfortunately, these are not the foot masks that make your feet shed layers of skin like a snake (they look so satisfying!), but the kind that just make your heels smoother. I'm not the kind of person that takes care of my feet or heels so I was curious, but not too excited to try these out.
These patches remove dead skin as well as moisturise, calm and provide nutrients to your skin via ingredients such as shea butter, witch hazel and argania oil. They can be used on the heels, elbows and knees. Simply wear the patch for 2 hours or overnight, peel off and you're good to go!
The patches come in a simple tear open plastic sleeve and there is a sticker on the back that provides information and instructions in English.
The patch looks like a large band-aid!
After cleaning your heels, you simply remove the 3 paper covers from the patch and wrap it around your chosen body part.
Here is my heel skin before the patch. Seeing as I never exfoliate or moisturise anywhere near my feet (or even look at them), I was pretty impressed at the good condition of my heels! *pats self on back*
The patch reminds me of a nappy for your heels! I felt a very slight cooling sensation, presumably from the witch hazel, and the patch was barely noticeable as I walked around for 2-3 hours. It had a really nice essential oil scent when you open it, but you can't smell it when you're wearing it.
This is the result! Considering my skin was not that bad beforehand, I was quite surprised as the difference was very noticeable. My heel was baby soft, smooth and less red for some reason. To properly judge the power of the patch, I only used one on my left heel and left the right alone.
5 days later my left heel was still considerably smoother and softer than the right.
9 days later and now my heels feel the same.
My verdict is that these patches definitely work and not just on a superficial level seeing as the effect lasted for around a week! You would not get the same result from applying a layer of moisturiser once. I would love to see the results on someone with really dry and cracked heels who really needs a heel treatment. I can also imagine these being a nice treat for a pedicure day! However, seeing as I don't take much pride in my feet and that my heels are not terrible I don't think I would repurchase these.
You can buy the Soomon smooth heel care patches from dhowaus for $3 AUD.
*I was gifted this product for review. All my opinions are 100% honest.
