Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) Essay, Research Paper
Introduction:Multiple personalities is a dissociative condition in which an individual?s personality is apparently split into two or more distinct sub-personalities, each of which may become dominant at different times. People with multiple personality disorder suffer from internal chaos, roller-coaster emotions and terrible memories. They also present confusing confusing and contradictory images to their family and friends. But in spite of all this, MPD is a treatable disorder.
In theory, the developmental process behind MPD is a result of resorting to a mental escape from a traumatic situation. This is essentially achieved when neither fleeing nor fighting can be used as a defense option, which leads the individual to distance themselves from the incident to retain control. This distancing mechanism is characterized by detachment from the self or surroundings, excluding unwanted or unneeded feelings from awareness, and partial or total amnesia from the emotions associated with the traumatic event. In essence, this process allows the individual to separate the traumatic memories from ordinary consciousness to preserve some areas of healthy functioning. This entire process is referred to as dissociation. Dissociation serves as an adaptive function, as it allows the individual to escape from the traumatic event while it is underway. However repeated reliance on dissociative defenses can lead to the inability to properly process information from past and future events. It is theorized that the repeated use of dissociation can lead to the development of a series of separate mental states, which may eventually take on an identity of their own.
The Cause:Multiple personalities stem from very traumatic childhood events. Multiple personality disorder (MPD) is a dissociative disorder. Dissociation is normal everyday human activity. For example, you are dissociated when you lose track of time when you are watching a movie. You are also dissociative when you are daydreaming and lost in thought. Everyone dissociates to some extent, but it becomes a problem when it starts to interfere with your work, or the quality of your life.
On the average, the onset of multiple personalities occurs at about four years of age. Everyone knows that children have wild imaginations. They use there minds to create playmates and wondrous scenarios. Using this ability, a child who is constantly tortured and terrified over a period of time may create other children within themselves to survive and endure the pain. These other personalities are called ?alters? and may develop permanency, so that the identity of a single child fragments into many children in a single body. These abused children are often warned by their abusers to maintain secrecy. Therefore horrid memories get buried deep into the caves of the unconscious, each alter shielding his or her own traumatic memory. This also allows each alter to become more independent.
Multiple personality disorder is very rare and is only found in about one percent of the population. It is also believed that seven percent of the population has experienced at least some sort of dissociative disorder in their life. Certain feelings are common to people with multiple personalities. Most MPD individuals usually suffer from unreasonable fear, and this fear often evolves into terror. They also have large blocks of missing memories. Some symptoms of MPD are depression, anxiety, excessive compulsive behaviour, seizures, epilepsy, blackouts, headaches, and fatigue.
Multiple Personalities is not just one disorder, but is made up of many different dissociative disorders.
Treatment:There is no real cure for multiple personality disorder, the only treatment is forcing the repression of the alter personalities. The first step in treating this disorder is to find a psychotherapist who is familiar with dissociative disorders and who has taken special training in MPD. You should also call the ISSMP&D (International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality & Dissociation) to help you find a competent professional to help treat your MPD.
Hypnosis:Hypnosis is the universal tool in treating MPD. If you have MPD, you are in a trance state everyday, and through hypnosis your inner personality system may be more easily accessed. Hypnosis also allows the patient to recall memories without being overwhelmed by trauma of remembering the event. Hypnosis also usually tends to raise trust issues between the doctor and the patient which is a big factor in getting treated. Hypnosis also shows the patient the difference between the past and the present, and lets each alter know that change is possible. It is also necessary to use therapeutic work to help move the MPD alters down the dissociation spectrum.
Group Therapy:Your Therapist will probably advise you against group therapy. This recommendation is usually warranted if the style of the group is to reveal traumatic events by the use of drama or art (emotional catharsis). This is to protect the patient from re-traumatization. Many MPD patients report that non-intrusive groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Survivors of Incest Anonymous and Twelve Step MPD groups provide them with real comfort.
Fusion:As therapy proceeds, the alter parts may form an alliance, and share their complementary talents and help one another. Some alters may fuse spontaneously and in this fusion, one alter becomes part of another alter and vice versa. There is a joining of memories, thoughts, feelings and behaviors so that nothing is lost. After most dissociative memories have been reclaimed by the patient and all parts of the patient so that there is one common memory, there will no longer be a need for internal secrecy and separateness. The patient will have learned that his or her survival is no longer threatened, and that the abuse happened a long time ago and the patient is now able to care for him or herself. One by one, the different alters will learn through observation and experience that they will be more productive and self-directed once they have gone through the process of fusion. Fusion does not always occur, alters may wish not to fuse and stay single, but the alter be in a state less than an MPD alter. A real fusion will last a minimum of three months, and individual alters will not be reachable by hypnosis. The patient will also no longer hear separate voices inside. But sometimes fusions do not last and the alters break away and become a separate personality once again.
Post-Fusion Therapy:If the fusion holds, you must now learn how to function in the world as a single, and as a newly formed personality. This process can be very confusing and patients may find themselves becoming MPD again. Because of this, this stage must last at least a year. Therapy for MPD is not mysterious, it helps to bring a clearer understanding to the patient to help them on their journey to wholeness.

Look to the delicious recipes on the following slides for ideas on how to prepare all types of tofu.
Tofu is high in protein and iron, and low in fat. Whether you're already enamored with vegetarian cuisine or just eager to try a new ingredient, tofu is the perfect dinner solution. The most useful characteristic of tofu is that it does not have its own taste and absorbs the flavor of the ingredients it is mixed with. It is available in different forms that include silken tofu and regular tofu, where silken tofu is soft in texture while the regular tofu is firm. Different cooking techniques are required for both these types of tofu.
Look to the delicious recipes on the following slides for ideas on how to prepare all types of tofu.
Tofu Souffle
- Tofu (mashed), 1½ cups
- Canned asparagus (drained and chopped), 1 cup
- Green onion (chopped), 2 tablespoons
- Dry mustard, ¼ teaspoon
- Egg yolks, 4
- Egg whites, 4
- Whole wheat bread, 3 slices
- Butter (melted), 2 tablespoons
First, beat the egg whites properly. In a blender, add all the ingredients (except the egg whites) and blend them to form a smooth paste. Add salt according to your requirement. Add the egg whites after the paste is formed. Take a souffle dish, oil its surface, and pour the mixture into it. Preheat the oven to 325 °F, and bake the mixture for 40-50 minutes to get a golden brown color.
Vegan Pineapple Tofu Recipe
- 1/2 cup pineapple preserves
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 cup orange juice or pineapple juice
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 block firm tofu, diced into cubes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2/3 cup diced pineapple
- 3/4 tsp cornstarch
- 2 scallions, chopped (optional)
Whisk together the pineapple preserves, soy sauce and orange juice. Sautee garlic and tofu in oil until tofu is lightly browned. Reduce heat and add pineapple sauce and pineapples, stirring well to combine. Heat for 2-3 minutes, then add cornstarch, whisking to avoid lumps. Heat one more minute, until sauce thickens.
Asian Baked Tofu
- 16 oz extra firm tofu, cut into thin 1" slabs
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp sriracha sauce
- pinch of garlic powder
- pinch of onion powder
- pinch of sea salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In a shallow dish, whisk together all ingredients (minus the tofu). Drench each piece of tofu in the sauce ingredients then lay flat on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping each piece of tofu midway through.
Tofu Salad
- Mayonnaise, cup
- Lemon juice, ½ cup
- Celery stalk (diced), ½
- Garlic powder, ½ teaspoon
- Onion powder, ½ teaspoon
- Mustard, 1 tablespoon
- Firm tofu, 1 block
First take the tofu block, drain the water from it, and mash it thoroughly. After mashing it, add all the ingredients to it, and stir the mixture so that all the ingredients get mixed properly. The tofu salad is ready. Use it to serve as a filling for sandwiches.
Tofu Vegetable Bake
- Large onion, ½
- Carrot, 1
- Spinach, ½ cup
- Firm tofu, ½-1 block
- Olive oil, 1 tablespoon
- Tomatoes, 1 or 2
- Pepper and spices of your choice
- Salt to taste
Cut all the vegetables and tofu into small pieces. Place them together in a baking pan and pour some olive oil over the mixture. Add the pepper, salt, and selected spices according to your requirements, and mix the ingredients together. Preheat the oven to 375 °F, and bake the mixture for approximately half an hour.

Kentucky Health Cooperative CEO Janie Miller Elected Vice Chair (President Elect) of National Alliance of State Health CO-OPs
Mar 07, 2014, 13:40 ET from Kentucky Health Cooperative
LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 7, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The chief executive officer of Kentucky's all-new, nonprofit health insurance carrier, Kentucky Health Cooperative, Inc., Janie Miller, has been elected vice chair of the board of directors of the National Alliance of State Health CO-OPs (NASHCO). Miller was elected Feb. 24 at NASHCO's annual meeting in Washington, DC. She succeeds Dr. Martin Hickey, CEO of New Mexico Health Connections. Hickey was elected chair of the board at the NASHCO gathering. http://mynmhc.org/
Miller, chief executive officer since 2012 of Kentucky Health Cooperative, Inc., a 501(c) 29 organization headquartered in Louisville, is a recognized healthcare leader. She was appointed in 2008 by Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear to serve as Secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. During her 4-year tenure as Secretary, Miller was also designated by Governor Beshear to lead health reform relative to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and helped architect the Commonwealth's healthcare policy.
The Kentucky House of Representatives honored Miller in 2012 with a resolution recognizing her public service contributions, which also include stints as the Budget Director for the Kentucky General Assembly, the Kentucky Insurance Commissioner and the Secretary of the Public Protection and Regulation Cabinet.
She is a former Director of Operations for a regional Health Maintenance Organization based in central Kentucky and has worked for two large nonprofit hospital systems in Kentucky.
A graduate of Eastern Kentucky University, Miller was inducted in 2002 into its Hall of Distinguished Alumni. She currently serves on the university's Board of Regents. She continues to be focused on improving healthcare for all Kentuckians.
Kentucky Health Cooperative
Kentucky Health Cooperative, based in Louisville, is dedicated to improving health outcomes by providing member-focused, accessible, cost-effective and quality-focused health care coverage to individuals and small groups living in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Kentucky Health Cooperative was identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to receive loans to create and operate a Consumer Oriented and Operated Plan, or CO-OP. CO-OPs are nonprofit health insurance companies that will be member-governed in 2015. Kentucky Health Cooperative gained approval in March 2013 from the Kentucky Department of Insurance to operate as an insurer in the Commonwealth. Kentucky Health Cooperative began offering health plan benefits on Jan. 1, 2014.
More information: www.mykyhc.org or on Facebook.
The National Alliance of State Health CO-OPs (NASHCO) is the trade association for the non-profit health insurance CO-OP industry. Itself a nonprofit corporation, NASHCO was initially formed by volunteers after the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and was designed to promote the development and success of health insurance CO-OPs. Once several CO-OPs were approved by the federal government, they decided to adopt NASHCO as their association. All health insurance CO-OPs that have signed loan agreements with the Department of Health and Human Services are currently members and directors of NASHCO. NASHCO is helping to facilitate a new way of accessing care using the cooperative governance model. In the last two years, NASHCO has hosted multiple conferences to bring together those interested in the innovations and member governance models of CO-OPs, including health care policy experts, administration officials and congressional staff, health care industry professionals, and employer groups and consumer advocates.

This blog serves as a space where I can share the process of my painting journey.........
Tuesday, November 9, 2010
It has only been a few days since I last painted but it feels like weeks. I needed something to challenge me. In this small study I placed an ornament into the glass...I wanted to work with as little white as possible and explore saturated color. The ornament proved to be a huge challenge and I may try again. It is a mass of round donut shaped purple sequins with tiny beads. It resembles berries doesn't it?

Teacher : April 2009
ventilated using louvred glazing to the south façade to draw in cool air and eight thermal chimneys along the north façade to expel warm air. Thermo-mass concrete panels to the east and west façades maximise effi- ciency in the north-south ventilation. Another major focus is the integration of educational tools to explain the mechanics behind the sustainable design. This has been simply achieved by exposing, rather than concealing, the environmental elements designed to make the building perform. An example is the exposed chimneys enclosed in clear, double glazing with ven- tilator cowls penetrating the roof, which are visible from the school's street frontage. The aim of exposing such environmental elements is to help students gain an appre- ciation of the simple ways in which we can dramatically cut high energy usage. Luther College Middle School The site for this newmiddle school building rests between the Good Shepherd Primary School and Luther College in Croydon in 12 teacher april 2009 Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Connecting the campuses on Plymouth Road, the new building reflects the arrangement of the original 1960s primary school and sen- ior school buildings that comprise built forms wrapped around central courtyard spaces. The strong, unified character of the 1960s campus will be enhanced by the use of similar materials and colours in the new building, while the rectilinear forms of the existing buildings are reinforced by the geometry of the new design. The building will be set back from the existing ones to allow for daylight penetra- tion and good ventilation. The modular building form is open on the ground floor to allow for future expansion. Landscaping will flow into the ground- floor courtyard and be accessible from and connected to the new symbolic walkway. The concept behind the design is to cre- ate a courtyard that will act as the heart of the school, and which will become a play area and meeting point. It will also high- light views of the surrounding ranges, giv- ing a strong sense of place. Star of the Sea College Performing Arts Centre The design concept for the Performing Arts Centre at Star of the Sea College in Gardenvale in Melbourne's inner south-east is to move away from the traditional 'black- box' theatre. The multi-level design comprises music and drama facilities, and informal perform- ance and practice spaces with a more for- mal theatre-like space. In addition, it can be completely naturally lit and ventilated. The fully glazed south façade services all levels right down to the basement and, in its opened state, ventilates them all. Because of the historic convent and sur- rounding campus, it was decided to defer to the existing context through a basement space with the capacity to connect to a future underground car park. This innova- tion ensures a contemporary fit and main- tains the existing image.

Bernard Tolbert, the former Buffalo FBI chief, officially announced his candidacy for Buffalo mayor on Saturday; he will challenge two-term incumbent Byron Brown in the Democratic primary. He is viewed as having an uphill battle, as Brown has over $1 million in his campaign account and an experienced political organization behind him. Tolbert has said that he will raise enough money to make the race a serious one.
With Democrats having an overwhelming enrollment advantage, winning the September primary is tantamount to winning the general election.

Two pop cultural phenomenons have emerged in recent times: Pokémon Go and the release of a new Harry Potter manuscript -- which fans have combined the ideas of to petition for a Harry Potter game that uses the same augmented reality format as Pokémon Go.
As DesignTAXI reports, the desire for the Harry Potter game arose around the same time as talk of a play titled 'Harry Potter And The Cursed Child' circulated, prompting fans of the wizardly series to rejoice in learning more of J.K. Rowling's imaginative realm.
Currently, the creators of Pokémon Go at Niantic Labs do not have plans to release a Harry Potter version of the augmented reality game -- however that hasn't stopped illustrator Trevor Downs from imagining 'Harry Potter Go.' By creating a series of images that show the iconic characters implemented into the medium of Pokémon Go, Trevor Downs allows fans to get a better perspective of what the game might look like.

Smartphones provide a wide variety of possibilities as personal emergency notification devices. Therefore, this new SoftGuard module called SmartPanics allows you to increase the individual protection of your clients at the very moment that something that must be operated at the monitoring station happens to them.
The launching of this product is based on native applications for the following platforms:
- Iphone iOS
- Android
- Blackberry 10
- Blackberry Os
Applications will be purchased directly by the end user in the Store/Markets of each provider at a very low cost.
The new SG-SmartPanics module will be installed in the monitoring central station, within the SG-WebDesktop platform to address the management of devices, their correlation with monitoring accounts, graphical customization and management.
Once the first connection to the monitoring server has been made, after the client installs the application, an automatic system will download a set of SETTINGS including a wallpaper with logotype to customize the look and feel of the user.
The events that will be generated will be:
-SOS for panic or robbery
-Medical emergency
In all cases the button will require being held for a fixed time period to prevent false triggering and the animated image will inform the user. Once sent, the button must once again be held for a predetermined period of time to cancel the sent requests.
Once an event has been sent, a new override button will allow the cancellation of the previous action to be sent to the operator at the central station. The events will be accompanied by the position of the device by the internal methods of the smartphone which are the location for the cellular network and GPS. This could be as accurate as a few yards. In SoftGuard Monitoring the event will be shown with an active location on the map.
The advanced video function will enable the reception of the image of the event taking place captured by the user's smartphone cameras at the monitoring central station, once enabled by the user.
Maintenance functions and system testing will be included in the application settings menu, such as a TEST button which will send a manual test event from the user to the monitoring station.
Communications are MULTIVIA to ensure reception of signals. The most widely used vias are the TCP-IP via employed either by the cellular data network or by wi-fi, and SMS when the data network is not available.
SG SoftGuard Panics multiplies the protection you give your clients, benefiting from the built-in capabilities of their smartphones.

"Gazprom has the largest natural gas reserves in the world. When I joined the board of directors (in 2000), the concern was worth about $8 billion, but today it is more than $250 billion. One day it could become the world's most valuable company," he commented.
He went on to add that the state should continue to back the company, as it provided a vital service to the populace.
"The entire country, its population, depends on Gazprom. We do not want to risk an economic or political collapse that could occur should the enterprise be sold to a dozen or so private owners," he commented.
He continued by claiming that the Russian gas giant has always honoured contractual terms, saying "please don't forget that German firms have a six per cent share in Gazprom".

Everspin's newest MRAM technology use the spin torque transfer property, which is the manipulation of the spin of electrons with a polarizing current, to establish the desired magnetic state of the free layer to program, or write, the bits in the memory array.
Spin Torque MRAM, or ST-MRAM, provides a significant reduction in switching energy compared to Toggle MRAM, and is highly scalable, enabling higher density memory products. Our third generation of MRAM technology uses a Perpendicular MTJ. We have developed materials and Perpendicular MTJ stack designs with high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which provides long data retention, small cell size, greater density, high endurance and low power.
The first ST-MRAM products from Everspin utilize JEDEC like DDR3 and DDR4 interfaces with some modifications needed for MRAM technology. These products perform as a persistent DRAM but with no refresh required. Additional products are planned which will utilize high speed serial interfaces for a wide range of embedded applications.

In what might not have been the best move, veteran ESPN college basketball announcer Dick Vitale responded to a pro-Spurs tweet by Eva Longoria with a reference to her ex-husband.
Tony Parker won Game 1 for the Spurs with a spectacular buzzer-beater that has been the talk of the NBA Finals so far.
"Go Spurs Go! I say Spurs in 5!!!!" the 38-year-old actress, who was married to Parker until 2010, tweeted after the game in Miami. Longoria says she still is a Spurs fan, despite her personal connection to the team, and followed San Antonio before meeting Parker.
Vitale's reply was retweeted thousands of times: "your ex is AWESOME BABY – Mr Clutch!"
No surprise — she didn't respond.
You see, their union did not exactly end on the best terms: Longoria married Parker in 2007, but she filed for divorce three years later, and accused him of cheating on her. According to the New York Post, she found "hundreds of text messages" from other women on his phone.
Parker's leaning, twisting, step-through bank shot with 5.2 seconds left lifted the Spurs to a 92-88 victory over the Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night, a massive first step toward the franchise's fifth championship.
"It was a crazy play," said Parker, who finished with 21 points and six assists. "I thought I lost the ball three or four times. And it didn't work out like I wanted it to. At the end, I was just trying to get a shot up. It felt good when it left my hand. I was happy it went in."
The shot punctuated a triumphant return to the finals for the Spurs, who haven't been here since 2007. Capturing title No. 5 may be the most difficult task yet for these ageless Spurs, who handed the star-studded Heat just their fifth loss at home this season.
James and the Heat had slashed a seven-point, fourth-quarter deficit to two with 30 seconds remaining, and that's when Parker pulled out practically every trick in a bag stuffed full of them over a 12-year career to clinch Game 1.
The 31-year-old engine of the Spurs was face-to-face with Chris Bosh after a screen near the top of the key to start the possession. Parker immediately scooted past him to the right, leaving one Heat all-star in the dust. He then avoided a swipe at the ball from Dwyane Wade as he headed toward the baseline.
We played it all the way through. That's probably what this series is about. It's going to go down to the last tenth of a second
When he got close to the baseline, Parker was met by James, the reigning MVP. He lost the handle when James came to help, but was able to pull the ball back in and maintain possession as he turned his back to the basket and frantically searched for space.
When Parker tried to turn the corner on James and face the basket, he slipped and fell down to his knee, the precious seconds on the shot clock disappearing far too slowly for Heat coach Erik Spoelstra's liking.
"That seemed like a 26-second possession," Spoelstra said. "But we played it all the way through. That's probably what this series is about. It's going to go down to the last tenth of a second. Every single play you have to push through all the way to the end, and we didn't."
And Parker did.
"It seemed like forever, too," he said.
Somehow he gathered himself, stood up, pivoted twice and stepped through an outstretched James' arm. He let the shot fly a split-second before the shot-clock buzzer went off and the ball hit high off the glass, bounced twice on the rim and dropped through the net.
"Tony did everything wrong and did everything right in the same possession," James said. "He stumbled two or three times. He fell over. And when he fell over, I was like, 'OK, I'm going to have to tie this ball up. … That was the longest 24 seconds that I've been a part of."

Communicating science in an electronic era
The sharp reduction in the costs of scholarly communication brought about by the Internet has provoked a fierce debate on the costs of access to scientific information. Developing-country scientists are benefiting from the competition this has generated.
Few inventions in history have had as significant — or immediate — impact on society as the development of the Internet. It is difficult to believe that it is only ten years since the World Wide Web, based on techniques developed to allow particle physicists across the globe to exchange information easily among themselves, was created at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva. In that period, the ability to access information instantaneously from anywhere around the world — and at almost negligible cost — has revolutionised practically every field of economic and social activity.
One of these, not surprisingly, has been publishing, an activity dedicated to the dissemination of information. The impact of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in this field comes from their ability to virtually eliminate so-called transactional costs or the 'costs of doing business' — in this case the physical production and distribution of the information. And nowhere has this impact been greater than in scientific publishing, where the costs of printing and distributing scientific information have now, in principle, been removed for those prepared to work electronically.
Developing countries stand to gain in many ways from this technological transformation. Scientific journals and their contents are the lifeblood of the scientific community; all too frequently, however, scientists working in developing countries are deprived of this lifeblood for two reasons. Firstly, such journals can be expensive, particularly in specialist fields with short print runs. Secondly, the vagaries of postal services mean that such scientists can often be weeks, if not months, behind their colleagues in the industrialised world in keeping up with the latest developments.
With the possibility that both these barriers could be removed in one stroke, the opportunities for science in the developing world are immense. But a different obstacle immediately presents itself: if the information is made freely available, who should now pay for those production costs that have not been eliminated? And how can an equitable system of pricing and payment be developed that makes information available to individuals that need it — at a price they can afford — while adequately rewarding those engaged in making this information accessible?
The 'producer pays' model
One solution is to say that the costs of publishing should be paid by the producers — not the consumers — of scientific information. In other words, that such costs be considered as part of the costs of the research, and therefore covered by research grants, rather than being an overhead cost paid out of library funding. This, for example, is the approach that has been adopted by the Public Library of Science (PLoS), the free access publication initiative, set up with the support of many scientists keen to find an alternative to highly-profitable commercial publishing, whose first journal, PLoS Biology, was launched last month.
PLoS plans to charges researchers US$1,500 for handling every paper that it publishes, saying that this will eventually be sufficient to cover all editorial costs and other expenses. Critics argue that, while this may be a relatively small amount for a US researcher with a substantial grant from the National Institutes of Health, it could be a major disincentive for scientists in the developing world, for whom the sum could represent several months' wages. PLoS says it has taken this into account, and will waive the fee for anyone (including in particular developing-country researchers) who genuinely cannot afford to pay.
A separate criticism of this publishing model is that it reduces the opportunities to use income from scientific publishing to subsidise other professional activities. Some scientific societies, for example, frequently rely on this income to provide a range of services to their members (although others admittedly se epublishing as an end in itself). Separately, for journals such as Nature and Science (both of which provide SciDev.Net with free access to a limited number of articles each week) it allows them to carry news and information about the scientific community that would not necessarily be covered in a producer-pays publishing model.
The disappearance of such a service would be a major loss, particularly at a time when scientists are being encouraged to increase their active interaction with society (and, in a more self-serving sense, when they face a growing need to understand the internal dynamics of funding agencies). So would any reduction in the opportunities for publishing interdisciplinary research fundings. Care must therefore be taken to ensure that, in their enthusiasm to pursue free access publishing, initiatives such as PLoS — welcome as they are — do not take on an excessively narrow focus that threatens consideration of the wider social and intellectual dimensions of science.
Differential pricing
One approach to this dilemma — adopted for example by the science publishing company BioMed Central — is to adopt a hybrid scheme, charging the producers of research for processing individual papers, and the users for supplementary material that "adds value", such as reviews. An alternative is to start with the scientific journals as they are currently produced (and financed) and then move to a differential pricing strategy, namely one in which price is broadly related to ability to pay.
This, unsurprisingly, is the model favoured by most commercial publishers (and many scientific societies). These are keen to retain revenue from those 'users' of research that are still in a position to pay, but also aware that their current pricing strategies discriminate against those in the developing world who are unable to do so.
Two international initiatives have been launched to co-ordinate the willingness of many scientific publishers to move in this direction. One, launched by the World Health Organisation last year and endorsed by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, is the Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI). This allows public institutions in developing countries to gain free — or nearly free — access to more than 2,000 journals in biomedical and related social sciences (see WHO initiative gives free access to journals). More recently, the Food and Agricultural Organisation has launched a similar initiative, again with the support of many private publishers. Known as Access to Global Online Research in Agriculture (AGORA), this gives comparable access to scientific literature in food, nutrition, agriculture and related biological, environmental and social sciences (see Poor countries get low-cost access to science journals).
The promise that both schemes offer is to guarantee free access to all material in the journals they cover for scientists working in named institutions in the world's poorest nations. A significant limitation, however, is that the list of countries covered — based on World Bank measurements of countries with a Gross National Product per capita of less than US$3,000 — does not cover many of the larger developing countries (including, for example, not only Brazil, China and India). Their exclusion is understandable; many of the publishers that support both schemes also have a considerable number of current subscribers in these countries that they are reluctant to lose. Nevertheless this still represents a major impediment for those who argue that the goal should be free access for all developing-country scientists.
Benefits from competition
As far as the global scientific community as a whole is concerned, the main competition at the moment is between the traditional 'user pays' market model used by commercial publishers, and the free access model subscribed to by PLoS and others that seeks explicitly to challenge conventional practices. Fortuitously, developing countries have been one of the main — if unintended — beneficiaries of this competition.
On the one hand, such countries are able to benefit directly from free access initiatives. On the other, there seems little doubt that it is the pressure on commercial publishers from such initiatives that is fuelling their enthusiasm for schemes such as HINARI and AGORA, where the relatively minimal costs involved are — such publishers hope — more than compensated for by the public relations dividend.
It would be naïve to believe that the future is going to belong to one model or the other. But neither would that necessarily be desirable, at least as far as the developing world is concerned. For, in the case of both models, one of the by-products of the competition between them is that resources are essentially being channelled from the scientific communities of the rich to the poor nations of the world. The latter already face a number of impediments, such as poor quality, high-cost connections, that limit their ability to benefit from the communications revolution that is sweeping the scientific community. All the more reason, therefore, to welcome any move that reduces their cost of access to publishing opportunities and journals, both of which lie at the heart of the capacity-building endeavours that developing countries so badly need.
SciDev.Net is launching a special feature on Open Access and Science Publishing later this week, which will include news and opinion articles on the issues raised, details of open access initiatives and literature, and links to key reports, meeting proceedings and future events.

Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the mechanical engineering department, you may consider Goshen College electrical engineering as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

What I'm wearing:
I was born & raised in Oregon, where the beach was just a short drive away. The ocean water was usually freezing cold and the wind brisk, but I have so many fond memories of family day trips there – jumping waves, building bonfires and watching the sunset. Now that we live in upstate New York, this is the closest beach that we have. Being a lake-front instead of the ocean means it isn't quite the same, but it's still a fun place to come spend the day. And every time I watch the kids playing in the sand & splashing in the water, it brings to mind all those special moments I had growing up.

Home > Career Center
Date: December, 2017Position Title: Associate VeterinarianPosition Summary: LaSalle Equine Clinic and Livestock Services is seeking a full time associate to join our large animal practice in northwest Montana. Our case load is 90% equine/10% livestock. 50% of our work is ambulatory and 50% in our well equipped hospital. The practice serves as an intermediate referral hospital for the community but is so far enough from true referral centers that we frequently care for some very interesting and challenging surgical and medical cases. Candidates must embrace general practice particularly dentistry which is a core service for the practice. We care for western performance horses, jumpers, dressage, three day event horses and large herds of outfitter animals, but in many ways a large portion of our practice is more like a companion animal practice in terms of how clients care for and feel about their horses. In these situations we deal with the horse owner, a person that often has limited experience in horse management and care of the sick or injured horse in particular. Providing owner education with patience and understanding is an important function of practice in this community. The practice was once a cattle practice and although most of the cattle are gone from the area we still see both beef and dairy cattle, along with sheep and goats.
One of the joys and benefits of group practice is to know all clients of the practice will be well served by whoever is on call so that we can all enjoy our time off. Clients in this practice are clients of the practice and not individual veterinarians. In a small practice like LaSalle every veterinarian is a generalist and must be comfortable and competent to address routine cases in all areas of service. One of the greatest strengths of the practice has been and continues to be dentistry. Dentistry is not only the largest service profit center for the practice; it is the service that provides the opportunity for our veterinarians to see and touch horses on a regular basis and in doing so recognize other opportunities to improve the health and welfare of the horse. The ideal candidate for this position would be a true generalist with personal interests in reproduction, dentistry, cattle and small ruminant medicine.

In the figure below, triangle ADE is an equilateral triangle. If DC=AE+BE and AC=3 inches, what is the length of AB?a. 2.5b. 2c. 1.5d. 1e. None of these.
- print Print
- list Cite
There might possibly be a better way to solve it, but here is one approach.
Let's let AE = x, and BE = y.
AE + EB = AB (Segment Addition Postulate)
So, by substitution, we get
AE + EB = DC and x + y = AB (substitution)
So, AC = AD + DC (Segment Addition Postulate)
and then, AC = x + x + y, or 3 = 2x + y
Then, we can plug in numbers for x and see what works.
If x = 2.5, then we get 3 = 5 + y and y would have to be negative which is not possible with a shape.
If x = 2, then we get 3 = 4 +y and again we would have a negative number for y which is not possible.
If x = 1.5, then we get 3 = 3 + y and y would have to be 0 which is not possible in a triangle.
If x = 1, then we get 3 = 2 + y so y would be 1. As long as it is OK to have x and y be equal to the same number, then the answer is 1.

IFFR Live
There is nothing like the shared experience of enjoying a film with a room full of people. Oh wait, there is! Because if you go to one of the IFFR Live shows, you could be joined by thousands of others. IFFR Live made its groundbreaking debut last year, and streams the Rotterdam premieres simultaneously to all corners of Europe and beyond.
Even though last year IFFR Live took place in 46 cities throughout 17 countries it does not have to feel as if your co-viewers are that far away, because the audience abroad can take part in the IFFR discussions with filmmakers and actors via Twitter, using #livecinema.

|Border Fence at Anapra, near El Paso, TX--site of Sunday's action (file photo)
The vigil at the Sunland Park-Anapra Fence beginning at 10 AM also hopes to call attention to the unjust US immigration policies that criminalize those fleeing the violence.
This activity culminates a week-long delegation of 10 people, headed by SOA Watch founder Fr. Roy Bourgeois, from across the United States, which has met with people on both sides of the border in El Paso and Ciudad Juarez. Over 60,000 people have been killed in the violence in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon deployed some 50,000 troops and federal police five years ago to confront the drug cartels. Much of this militarization has been bankrolled by the US government's Merida Initiative, which has poured over $1.5 billion into this "war on drugs," especially in the form of US military equipment and training. The result of this militarization has failed to curtail the flow of drug, but has caused the loss of thousands of innocent Mexican lives. The death toll in Ciudad Juarez alone is nearing 10,000.
Perpetrators of the violence on both sides of this declared "war" have strong links to the US School of the Americas/WHINSEC, a U.S. taxpayer-funded military training school for Latin American soldiers, located at Fort Benning, Georgia. Ciudad Juarez Police Chief, Julian Leyzaola Perez, a graduate of the SOA, has been accused by human rights groups of participating "directly in the torture of individuals who were arbitrarily detained, transported to military bases, and subjected to beatings, electric shocks, death threats, and asphyxiation to obtain false confessions" (UNHCR report). On the side of the drug cartels, a third of the original members of the drug cartel known as the "Zetas" are deserted members of the Mexican military who have graduated from the SOA/WHINSEC.
SOA graduates across Latin America have been implicated in serious human rights abuses, from torture, disappearance, drug trafficking and murder. In 2009, SOA graduates overthrew the government in Honduras, while in Colombia, 10,000 troops have been trained to fight the "War on Drugs". In October 2011, Time Magazine published the article "Is It Time to Shutter the Americas' 'Coup Academy'?"
This past week, people in Mexico convened for a National Forum Against Militarization in Mexico. SOA Watch stands in solidarity with them and draws inspiration from citizens of Mexico who have been rising up to resist this militarization.

After reading Columbus' letter what do you think his views of the new lands and people he encountered?
What seem to be his values, assumptions, and goals as expressed in his letter and how might these have influenced what he included in his letter?
- print Print
- list Cite
The main source of Columbus' attitudes of the new land and of the people he encountered are not preserved in a letter but in his journals which were delivered under seal to Ferdinand and Isabella. The original Journals were lost, however Bartoiomeo de las Casas, who accompanied Columbus, insisted that he recalled the content of the Journals and reconstructed them. Columbus had little to say about the land, but a great deal about the people, particularly their possession or knowledge of gold, which was his primary concern. Reading the Journals indicates Columbus' attitude was typical of the perceived European superiority which was common at the time. It gives one the impression that he considered the people he encountered to be simplistic, naive, and easily dominated. He remarks that they had no knowledge of metal tools and weapons and cut themselves when they examined his sword. he goes so far as to state that they would make "good servants," yet at the same time demonstrates the typical European interest in Christianizing them:
Weapons they have none, nor are acquainted with them, for I showed them swords which they grasped by the blades, and cut themselves through ignorance. They have no iron, their javelins being without it, and nothing more than sticks, though some have fish-bones or other things at the ends. They are all of a good size and stature, and handsomely formed. I saw some with scars of wounds upon their bodies, and demanded by signs the of them; they answered me in the same way, that there came people from the other islands in the neighborhood who endeavored to make prisoners of them, and they defended themselves. I thought then, and still believe, that these were from the continent. It appears to me, that the people are ingenious, and would be good servants and I am of opinion that they would very readily become Christians, as they appear to have no religion. They very quickly learn such words as are spoken to them. If it please our Lord, I intend at my return to carry home six of them to your Highnesses, that they may learn our language. . . . could conquer the whole of them with fifty men, and govern them as I pleased.

Happy 2016 my friends! I can't believe it's already the 13th day of this year. I had every intention of posting here every day in January. January is a big month in the health, fitness and running world and I wanted to be a part of that, but life has gotten in the way – in the best of ways – so here I am with LOTS to share with you and very little time right now to share it.
I'm fairly certain that's a good problem to have, so I'll leave you with a post I wrote for Women's Running – 26.2 Inspirational Quotes for 2016 – in the meantime. In the post I explain where my mantra of I Run This Body came from and share some of the quotes that have gotten me through many a long run and hard race.
I'll be back here sooner rather than later to share what's been going on, but in the meantime I'm still over-posting on instagram and just posted my first snapchat, so you can find me over there too as well as the usual spots on twitter {@mileposts just hit 15K followers – thank you thank you for following along and chatting with me over there} and facebook! I hope this year has started out for you in the best of ways. Something about a fresh start is just so wonderful on so many levels – hope you are feeling the same!
This post was first seen HERE
Recently my mom was cleaning and found a list of 26.2 inspirational quotes I had given her before we both ranthe Chicago Marathon in 2004. I was only a year in to my marathon journey at the time, but even then these quotes were planting the seeds for what would one day inspire me to start my own small business selling t-shirts!
Below I'm sharing with you some of my favorites from that list and the quote that inspired my mantra of #irunthisbody
Mile 1: Have a dream, make a plan, go for it. You'll get there I promise. ~ Zoe Koplowitz
Mile 2: Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle— when the sun comes up, you'd better be running. ~ Proverb
Mile 3: Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there. ~ Bo Jackson
Mile 4: Mind is everything: muscle – pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind. ~ Paavo Nurmi
Mile 5: There's not a better feeling than when you have found that moment of balance and harmony when both running and life come together. Then you know why you run and that you couldn't live without it. ~ Joan Benoit Samuelson
Mile 6: There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be. – George Sheehan
Mile 7: Run hard, be strong, think big! ~ Percy Cerutty
Mile 8: Runners just do it— they run for the finish line even if someone else has reached it first. ~ Anonymous
Mile 9: If you believe it, the mind can achieve it. ~ Ronnie Lot
Mile 10: We are different, in essence from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. ~ Emil Zatopek
Mile 11: The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be. ~ Horace Bushnell
Mile 12: Whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you're probably right. ~ Henry Ford
Mile 13: If you want to become the best runner you can be, start now. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it. ~ Priscilla Welch
Mile 14: I run because it's so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can't. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought. ~ Arthur Blank
Mile 15: I always loved running…it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs. ~ Jesse Owens
Mile 16: The marathon is not really about the marathon, it's about the shared struggle. And it's not only the marathon, but the training. ~ Bill Buffum
Mile 17: Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about. ~ PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian
Mile 18: No matter how old I get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding experiences. My times become slower and slower, but the experience of the race is unchanged: each race a drama, each race a challenge, each race stretching me in one way or another, and each race telling me more about myself and others. ~ George Sheehan
Mile 19: I tell our runners to divide the race into thirds. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart. ~ Mike Fanelli
Mile 20: There will come a point in the race, when you alone will need to decide. You will need to make a choice. Do you really want it? You will need to decide. ~ Rolf Arands
Mile 21: Pain is temporary, pride is forever.
Mile 22: You also need to look back, not just at the people who are running behind you but especially at those who don't run and never will… those who run but don't race…those who started training for a race but didn't carry through…those who got to the starting line but didn't in the finish line…those who once raced better than you but no longer run at all. You're still here. Take pride in wherever you finish. Look at all the people you've outlasted. ~ Joe Henderson
Mile 23: You're running on guts. On fumes. Your muscles twitch. You throw up. You're delirious. But you keep running because there's no way out of this hell you're in, because there's no way you're not crossing the finish line. It's a misery that non-runners don't understand. ~ Martine Costello
Mile 24: The marathon's about being in contention over the last 10K. That's when it's about what you have in your core. You have run all the strength, all the superficial fitness out of yourself, and it really comes down to what's left inside you. To be able to draw deep and pull something out of yourself is one of the most tremendous things about the marathon. ~ Rob de Castella
Mile 25: Scientific testing can't determine how the mind will tolerate pain in a race. Sometimes, I say, "today I can die." ~ Gelindo Bordi
Mile 26: The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop, but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy… It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed. – Jacqueline Gareau
Mile 26.2: Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired…You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going. ~ George S. Patton, U.S. Army General and 1912 Olympian
As the miles passed in a particularly hard marathon, I repeated this last quote to myself over and over till the words started to fade together. What I eventually said to myself over and over was – I Run This Body. These four words have become my mantra not only in running but in life. Don't quit when the going gets tough – decide that you and you alone RUN your body.
