Adrian Elliot, of Grayling Spain's Public Affairs team, compares the case for independence in Scotland and the Region of Catalonia.
Driving around Spain, you could be forgiven for asking yourself how such a diverse country holds itself together. Spain is made up of 17 autonomous regions, each with its own education system and health service; separate regional police forces in the Basque region, Catalonia region and Navarra region; over half a dozen languages spoken among a population of 46.5 million. In the case of the Basque Country, by all measures one of the wealthiest regions in Western Europe; and neighbouring Navarra, their governments even raise their own taxes, paying a part of it to the central government coffers and keeping the rest to spend more or less as they choose.
In the current debate, many UK commentators brush aside the historical differences between Scotland and Catalonia. For example, the fact that Scotland was an independent state that voluntarily entered into a political union with England. The closest Spanish comparison would be the union between Castile and Aragon, Catalonia being just a part of the latter, albeit having its own individual identity along with a historical grudge against the Bourbon dynasty after Felipe V ended the region's autonomy in revenge for their fighting alongside the Habsburgs in the Spanish War of Succession. Moreover, analysts are often surprisingly quick to admonish Spain's central government for refusing to hold a referendum to settle the current dispute, oddly enough given how the recent Brexit referendum did so little to settle the matter of the UK's EU membership.
What they nearly always miss however is that unlike the highly centralist UK, where the unwritten constitution allows the country's leaders to, in theory, act pragmatically; Spain, in spite of its diversity, continues to be united thanks to a continental European style constitution in which sovereignty is vested in the people on the basis of equal rights for all and in which no individual part of the country can vote unilaterally in favour of independence.
Over the past 40 years since Spain's transition to democracy, the country's pioneering level of devolution has been its strength however in it can also be found its weakness. The system has the appearance of the German federal system, however the status of the Autonomous Communities bare striking differences to that of the German Länder, first and foremost their varying levels of autonomy.
The Catalans and the Basques, for historical reasons, have always defended their exceptionalism and so the result of the successive Spanish governments' tradition of offering café para todos (coffee for all), in which the different regions all competed for ever increasing levels of self-government, has been the opposite of the principle enshrined in the Treaty of Rome of ever closer union. In Spain, should things continue the same way as they have over the last four decades, disintegration is inevitable regardless of the ongoing debates about the constitutional rights and wrongs of referendums or unilateral declarations of independence.
This is essentially where we are now. The German, French, Italians and even the US constitution are all just as forthright as that of Spain in enshrining their respective countries' unity in law. There is nothing Francoist in defending Spain against political decisions that would divide and confront citizens not just nationally but in each of the country's regions where the indigenous population coexists with people from all around Spain, all of whom have contributed equally to the country and their respective regions' development. However, perhaps ironically, a political system that was built to create the flexibility that would prevent the country from repeating past conflicts while at the same time holding it together contains the seeds for its downfall. Not least when each region chooses its own education system, and consequently how it interprets its own history.
So where do we go from here? Clearly the ideal solution would be a genuine federal system in which the relationship between the state and the regions were clearly established, creating clear boundaries between competing laws and recognising the individual identities and traditions of each region. The key question is whether that would be good enough for the Catalans whose leaders, whatever is agreed, do not want to be treated equally to Andalusians or Valencians. And if they ultimately got their way, would that really be fair to everybody else, or compatible with European principals of interregional solidarity?
This is the conundrum that Spanish political leaders face in 2017. An understanding of that is the ideal antibody for those looking to offer simplistic solutions to Spain's political leaders who are no doubt more qualified than anyone else in the world to reach their own conclusions about the way forward. That said, mediation is not a word on the lips of politicians in Madrid today however clearly something needs to give in order to even begin settling an issue that will clearly not solve itself.

Catalonia – how events unfolded
6 September – The Catalan parliament approves the referendum law with the absence of the opposition parties from the chamber in protest at a bill that defies the Spanish Constitution and the Catalan Statute of Autonomy.
7 September – Spain's Constitutional Court suspends the referendum together with the previous day's decree.
20 September – Spain's Civil Guard police force arrests 14 members of the team organising the referendum.
1 October – The referendum is held although no proper democratic guarantees are provided and the data on participation and the results provided by the Catalan government lacks credibility. After the Catalan police force defies a court order to prevent voting from taken place the national police move on to attempt to prevent voting. Images and videos of heavy handed police tactics damage Spain's case and lead to strong media condemnation although the EU continues to uphold Spain's position.
10 October – The Catalan president is expected to declare independence unilaterally however after a one hour delay he finally makes an ambiguous statement declaring independence and almost immediately suspending the application of the decree. An increasing number of Catalan based businesses and financial institutions announce plans to move their official headquarters out of the region.
11 October – The Spanish government demands clarification on whether or not the Catalan President has in fact declared independence with a deadline of 17 October and, if so, that he withdraws it by 19 October if he wants to prevent the government proceeding with steps towards ending Catalan self-rule.
17 October – Spanish Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, tells Catalan President, Carles Puigdemont that if he calls elections self-rule will be maintained. Puigdemont refuses and states that if self-rule is applied, the suspension on independence will be lifted with immediate effect.
19 October – The government announces that in the absence of a satisfactory response from Puigdemont, the government will proceed with enacting Article 155 of the Spanish constitution in order to govern Catalonia directly from Madrid.
27 October Following approval by the Senate and a subsequent meeting of the Cabinet, Prime Minister Rajoy dissolved the Catalan parliament (all 17 regions in Spain have their own regional parliament) and called for "free and fair" regional elections for December 21, arguing the Government "never wanted to come to this". At the same time, Mr Rajoy suspended regional President Charles Puigdemont, Deputy President Oriol Junqueras and all of the other regional counsellors in the Catalan government. The Spanish government has ordered the closure all Catalonia's offices of representation outside Spain, along with the region´s publicly funded diplomacy service and has suspended the region's police chief, Pere Soler.
The Prime Minister has assured that the Spanish government has enough resources to bring Spain back to normality and Catalonia within the law.
The Spanish Attorney General is preparing law suits against various former Catalan officials with charges of rebellion. Meanwhile, nationalist politicians are weighing up the pros and cons of participating in regional elections organised by the Spanish state from which they claim to have declared independence.
No EU/major international power has as yet recognized the Unilateral Declaration of Independence.

|Clive Davis ; with Anthony DeCurtis.
In this star-studded autobiography, Clive Davis shares a personal, candid look into his remarkable life and the last fifty years of popular music as only a true insider can. Davis' career has spanned more than forty years, and he has discovered, signed, or worked with a staggering array of artists: Whitney Houston, Janis Joplin, Simon and Garfunkel, Barry Manilow, Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Dionne Warwick, Carlos Santana, The Grateful Dead, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, and Aretha Franklin, to name a few. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy, and hosted the world's highest profile parties. In this fully illustrated, personal account, Davis tells all, from becoming an orphan in high school and getting through college and law school on scholarships, to being falsely accused of embezzlement and starting up his own record company, J Records. His wealth of experience offers valuable insight into the evolution of the music business over the past half-century and into the future.--From publisher description.

LONDON (Reuters) - Sweden-based hedge fund Density is to close after a poor performance, its manager told Reuters on Tuesday, as computer-driven funds struggle to cope with markets dominated by central bank money-printing.
Density's troubles reflect those of high-profile computer-driven (also known as commodity-trading advisor or CTA) funds such as BlueTrend, Man Group's (EMG.L) AHL and Cantab Capital's CCP fund, which have also suffered losses as central bank actions disrupt the long-running market trends they like to follow.
The Density fund, which traded 138 markets in stocks, fixed income, currencies and commodities, had been run as a strategy in Swedish-based Brummer & Partners' Nektar unit, which manages the $4.7 billion Nektar fund, a portfolio that has made money every calendar year since 1998 apart from in 2008.
Density launched on its own in 2008 and made large profits around the time of Lehman Brothers' collapse.
But the portfolio, which grew to around $54 million in size, has struggled in recent years, losing 14.9 percent in the first nine months of this year.
"Performance has not been what we hoped for," Jonas Vikstrom, managing director of Vikstrom & Andersson Asset Management and co-manager of the Density fund, told Reuters. "It's been quite bad actually.
"We aim for a niche in the CTA space but it's not worked out well at all ... We don't have the resources to continue fighting."
Since the end of 2008 the Density fund has fallen around 26.6 percent, according to a fund factsheet seen by Reuters.
In a letter to investors seen by Reuters, Vikstrom said the fund would close by the end of the month.

AQUI EN ESPANOL: El fuego de la amistad
AQUI EM PORTUGUES: O fogo da amizade
'I need to talk to you. I've come all the way from Ekaterinburg to do just that.'
I'm tired. I woke up earlier than usual and had to change planes in Paris because there was no direct flight. I tried to sleep on the journey, but every time I managed to drop off, I would fall into the same unpleasant, recurring dream.
I hold out my hand to say goodbye and notice that hers is very cold.
'Why didn't you wait for me inside?'
'I read your blog the other day and realised that you were talking directly to me.'
She takes out a piece of paper containing the article. I know it by heart, although I can't remember who told me the story.
A man called Ali is in need of money and asks his boss to help him out. His boss sets him a challenge: if he can spend all night on the top of a mountain, he will receive a great reward; if he fails, he will have to work for free. The story continues:
When he left the shop, Ali noticed that an icy wind was blowing. He felt afraid and decided to ask his best friend, Aydi, if he thought he was mad to accept the wager.
After considering the matter for a moment, Aydi answered:
'Don't worry, I'll help you. Tomorrow night, when you're sitting on top of the mountain, look straight ahead.
'I'll be on the top of the mountain opposite, where I'll keep a fire burning all night for you.
'Look at the fire and think of our friendship; and that will keep you warm.
'You'll make it through the night, and afterwards, I'll ask you for something in return.'
Ali won the wager, got the money, and went to his friend's house.
'You said you wanted some sort of payment in return.'
Aydi said, 'Yes, but it isn't money. Promise that if ever a cold wind blows through my life, you will light the fire of friendship for me.'

This is a cool map generated by Jim Gimpel, showing the distribution of the uninsured nationally.
He makes the point that:
The geographic concentration of the uninsured seems a bit ironic, given that the South and Southwest are not known for being Democratic strongholds agitating for a universal-coverage-single-payer system. But most of the uninsured fall heavily among the ranks of non-voters. The Republican congressional delegations from these states have little political incentive to work on this issue with President Obama. But the President doesn't look like he needs them, either.Good point.
The thing that I find striking is how otherwise demographically different states can dramatically differ in their uninsured rates. Look at Iowa and Nebraska, or Minnesota and the Dakotas. Clearly there's some key difference in the laws and regulations of those states which makes it easier to be uninsured there. For that matter, Alabama and Mississippi are quite different as well, despite being comparable in other ways.
And what's up with Florida? For a relatively affluent state, it's almost as bad as Texas, despite having a far smaller illegal immigrant population.
I love maps.

If Red Clive says Azzar instead of Hazard one more time I'll cry.
Good finish for the goal, but otherwise I'd say there were a number of fairly ominous signs about the performance today. Clive harped on about how "solid" the team looked, but so many players kept giving up possession in dangerous areas after dwelling on the ball, and it's not like Belgium weren't allowed plenty of opportunities to get into good areas and fashion chances.
Also, if I was one of the top sides looking to splash out on new players, I'd look into the prospect of signing Fellaini before going near Hazard.
Yeah, I thought he was good as well. He's the exact kind of player England seems to be incapable of producing too.
We were awful at the things we're always awful at, we'll be crushed in the euros.
It's strange, I can't recall watching many England matches between the last World Cup and now, but it seems they haven't even come close to ironing out the very basic flaws that dogged them last time round. Namely, they cannot keep the ball and play simple passes. Absolutely no patience/inspiration whilst in possession whatsoever. Don't think there's much there by way of attacking threat either, defence is probably solid enough, but the failure to make sensible use of the ball annoys me so much.
Rather have Barton in, at least he'd want to play for us.
Carrick, who I've always defended on Cricketweb, often against Man U fans, is in danger of becoming some kind of world-class player by his absence, when he definitely isn't.

Agreed on Carrick not being world class, and **** knows I've criticised him in the past, but I do think he offers something that other English midfielders don't, and he's not been given anywhere near the chances to show it that some others have.

A friend graciously let us stay at their place in the mountains for Spring Break. My husband loves the mountains and has the facial hair and 4 wheel drive to prove it. I love adventure. And I like the mountains, but to be honest would pick the fruity drink in my hand and sand in between my toes.
My husband is much happier when he gets to breathe in that low oxygen mountain air at least once a year. So we headed north. The home we stayed at was literally up the mountain. Several winding, icy, muddy unpaved roads up. Not everyone's vehicle could make it to the house. Since our car had 4 wheel drive I was often the shuttle, from their cars parked near the highway to the few miles up. Straight up.
I hardly minded, because every time I turned a corner (which was every few seconds) there was a view more majestic than the next. I mean how could you not be impressed. The snow. The aspens. The mountains. Maybe it was the thin mountain air, but day after day it didn't fail to take my breath away. Occasionally I even hung my camera out the window and took a few pictures. (which may not be something I'd recommend doing while you are driving up tight winding mountain roads).
I made that trip several times a day, each time praying I wouldn't get lost or stuck in the snow or the mud…but I swear…I mostly just rolled down my windows even though it was freezing outside and wondered if the people who live there ever get used to the view. How could they? If I lived here I would never get anything done or watch TV or read books. I'd just drive around staring out my windows.
I wondered if seeing that kind of amazing day after day, on the way home from a long day at work. Or making a run to the store because you forgot the milk. If you stopped seeing it.
If the beauty ever got old. Or so mundane that you stopped noticing.
And then. Just like that.
I felt this nudge. This questioning in my heart that was asking what kind of beauty was I missing every day. What kind of amazing breath taking things have I gotten used to?
The freckles across my daughter's nose.
The intense brown of my son's eyes.
The sound of my husband's light snoring as he sleeps and ability to fix most things broken. Including from time to time my own heart.
My dog barking to be let in. Again.
The pink and purple sky as I get to watch the sun sneak over the horizon on my way too early morning drive on my way to work.
Sometimes I see these things of course, but 90% of the time I look straight past them.
We are headed home as I type this from the front seat.
My daughter has asked to stop at every single McDonalds we have passed and fought with her brother over the ipad. My husband has taken over the radio.
My son has gas that could clear a room in 2 seconds flat.
The mountains have long since left our rear view mirror.
I have spent very little time staring out my windows because the landscape is brown and flat with the occasional windmill.
The punch of reality hit with each encroaching mile.
The mundane of work, bills, to do lists and forgetting to buy the milk at the grocery store.
It is a long drive from the mountains, with a time change not in our favor.So even though we left early in the morning while every one else was still in their pjs scrambling around the kitchen for a cup of coffee or breakfast, we did not exactly make it home before the sun.
Right as we hit the city the sun started to sink just below the horizon.
Pink and orange and all kinds of pretty.
Thankfully I wasn't driving because all I could do was stare out my window.
Taking in the beauty in front of me. In my own zip code.
Wondering, if the people who live here ever get used to this view.
Deciding right then and there to do my best not to.

Now I will stop lecturing and get on with this short roundup, I am waiting for another entry (it being late is my fault!) from a new participant but I will add it as soon as it arrives.
The first to send in an entry was Karen from Prospect: The Pantry who is an oldie here on Paper Chef with several wins and many entries and I am very glad to see her back in the PC track again! She has made an interesting dish, well she is actually the only one using real quail in her Barbecued Quail with Cabbage Cucumber Slaw. I love that slaw idea, perfect in this heat!
Then last month's winner which means that she is the Judge this month obviously felt inspired and sent in an entry and that is perfectly great as long as she doesn't choose her entry as winner. But I doubt that Astrid of Paulchen's food blog? even touched on doing anything like that. She couldn't find quail so she used chicken in her Apricot-Lime glazed Chicken Wings, it sounds fantastic!
Then Meeta from What's For Lunch Honey? finally dared or more probably, had the time to participate in PC, I have been waiting for this a loong time because knowing how she works, I always thought that PC would fit her hand in glove, she is a very creative cook-just take a look at her Asian Chicken Red Cabbage and Peach Salad and you will see what I mean! She too had to substitute the quail with chicken.
This is the space where I will post the vegetarian entry that I am waiting for!
Thank you to all the participants and to all of you I send a plea - please try to participate in the next edition which will be the 60ieth!

Hey guys.....
I know a lot of you have seen these pictures on FB, but before the photographer takes them down, I thought I would be a 'proud' momma, and post the entire gallery here...
August 2001, Kelcie Grey entered the 4th grade at Centennial School. From the Moment She was born *and Cole to follow*, I maintained and Nurtured a Philosophy Of Natural Led Curiosity for the world paired with a committed adult, would be the best beginning education. We were "unschoolers'. Not simply Homeschoolers.
No... curriculum, no grades
No tests.
No endless reams of worksheets.
Learning is the Meaning of Life and it was a privilege and honor to be the First Teacher For My Children.
Today Is graduation. Many People questioned the decision to 'keep the kids at home'...and the concept we would 'teach' *unschool* without a curriculum baffled folks even more.
We grew dill and parsley so we could WATCH the life process of a caterpillar. We made cookies and talked about fractions and chemical changes.
We Talked.
We investigated.
We played games....
We Read Stacks of books every single day.
Each Child Sought Answers and Made Each Trek through their day with ONE goal.
To Learn, Ask, Seek and Try, because that process was LOVED.
No pressure to 'win',
No pressure to do better than the child in the next desk.
No endless memorization .
Learning is LIFE.
What an Honor.
4.0 for 4 years, despite myriad illnesses, surgeries and tragedy.
You ARE the epitome of the Excited Student, and share the honor of being First in Your Class and will present the graduating speech.
Congratulations, to my child.....

'Music in the Park' continues Wed. with Country & Thursday with Soul
Burien's 2014 "Music in the Park" series continues this Wednesday night, July 16, with country music from The Joy Mills Band at North SeaTac Park and sweet urban soul with the Darrius Willrich Band Thursday night, July 17 at Lake Burien Park.
So grab a blanket, pack a picnic and bring the entire family to enjoy live – and FREE – entertainment outdoors at this great summer concert series.
"We have an exciting line up this year…everything from Gypsy Jazz to Bluegrass, Soul and Country!"
Here's a video taste of Darrius Willrich:
And the Joy Mills Band:
For complete details about the bands performing at the Music in the Park concerts and the full concert schedule, visit the "Schedule Information" link below, or go to www.BurienWA.gov/concerts. You can also call the Burien Parks Department at 206-988-3700.
There are two concert venues this year with concerts on both Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
The wonderful Geoffrey Castle will perform at the end of July. His remarkable electric Six String Violin sounds like an entire band. On August 7th, it's the Paper Boys. This acclaimed band from Canada brings a unique pop mix that blends Celtic and Irish jigs, country and bluegrass. They've performed all over the country. Now they are coming to Burien.
In addition to concerts at Lake Burien School Park, there will also be three concerts at North Seatac Park. Starting on Wednesday, July 16, it is the soulful country sound of The Joy Mills Band, led by Seattle songwriter, Joy Mills. We think you'll also agree that it wouldn't be a summer concert series without some Latin music. The band Grupo Son performs the acoustic music of the Cuban countryside, considered to be one of the primary roots of modern salsa.
If this isn't enough entertainment for you, there are more concert options as well. We will also have performances by The Highline Symphonic Band and sweet urban soul music by Darrius Willrich. There is also latin jazz with Alma y Azúcar and Reggae Rock Groove from the group Longstride. We even have a performance of live theatre-in-the-park planned for the evening of Thursday, July 30th.
Summer concerts are held on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, from July 10 through Aug. 14, 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m. Wednesday concerts are at North SeaTac Park, while Thursday concerts are at Lake Burien School Park. North SeaTac Park is located at S. 128th Street & Des Moines Memorial Drive. Lake Burien School Park is located at SW 148th Street and 16th Ave SW.

Dumb Starbucks Is Shut Down... For Reasons Entirely Unrelated To Questionable IP Usage
from the so-this-is-how-it-ends,-not-with-a-bang-but-with-a-bureaucrat dept
The Dumb Starbucks goes down, but for the least interesting reason possible. The sudden appearance of a coffee shop blatantly using Starbucks' trademarks (with the word "dumb" appended) and claiming something called "parody law" would save it raised several questions. First and foremost was: who the hell thinks they can get away with this?
Anyone wishing for Dumb Starbucks to be a test case for "parody law" will be severely disappointed. The Dumb Starbucks in Los Angeles was just shut down, but the non-Dumb Starbucks legal team had nothing to do with it.
The Los Angeles County Health Department shut down the Dumb Starbucks on Monday just as the man behind the faux coffee shop in the Los Feliz neighborhood revealed he was the host of a Comedy Central TV show.The whole thing was simply a stunt for a Comedy Central show starring Nathan Fielder, who held a "tongue-in-cheek" press conference while wearing one of the famous (Dumb) green aprons. According to him, Comedy Central is only now aware of his promotional stunt.
The shop was closed for operating without a health permit, the department told the Los Angeles Times. A sign was posted on the front window of the store on Hillhurst Avenue on Monday evening, saying it was closed for violations.
The only people who could possibly have been seriously hoping Dumb Starbucks would act as a test case for fair use and parody would be those who would like to see fair use weakened. The store's "fact sheet," which "cited" fair use and "parody law," parked itself in the middle ground between ham-fisted and half-assed and gave every impression it was written by a copyright maximalist trying to be clever.
So, even if the abrupt end of the Dumb Starbucks franchise is rather anticlimactic, we can at least be grateful this publicity stunt didn't make its way through the court system, where it could have generated some bad precedent with its disingenuous take on fair use. For better or worse, Fielder stated at his faux press conference that he was thinking of opening up another store in Brooklyn, something Comedy Central might want to keep an eye on, considering comedy sometime relies very heavily on parody.

As a response to comments from muriel who sent me a link to the Human Behavior and Evolution Society website, I republish my old post with my own modest contribution to evolutionary psychology. A fresher version of the same text can be found in my book.
to begin right off with something very strong,
in order to attract the reader's attention at once,
so he wrote that a cat had got on a tram-car,
and then went back to the episode with the severed head.
Michael Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita
This is my first posting [rememeber, it is written on 15 August 2006], and I want to use it to illustrate my approach to the study of mathematical practice.
I start with some observations and conjectures which may appear to be bizarre and out of tune from the usual discourse on mathematics. However, I tested some of them in a warm-up talk that I have given at a forum discussion "Where do mathematicians come from?", part of a very peculiar conference, that of the World Federation of National Mathematics Competitions (WFNCM). It was held a couple of weeks ago in Cambridge, England. On my way from Manchester to Cambridge, four hours by train, I had seen three people solving Sudoku. In one case, a lady of middle age shared a table with me and I had a chance to watch, in all detail and with a growing fascination, how she was solving an elementary level Sudoku puzzle. Her actions followed a certain rhythm: first she inspected the puzzle row by row and column by column until she located a critical cell (the one which value had been already uniquely determined by the already known values in other cells) , then, with obvious agitation, checked that this was indeed the case, happily wrote the digit in, smiled betraying a childish satisfaction, relaxed for a few seconds, and, after a short pause, started the search again.
Next day, in my talk at the conference, I pointed out that, from a mathematical point of view, solving a (elementary level) Sudoku puzzle is nothing more than solving a triangle system of Boolean equations by back substitution, something very similar to what we do after a Gauss-Jordan elimination in a system of simultaneous linear equations. But has anyone ever seen people on a train solving systems of linear equations from a newspaper? Why is Sudoku popular, and systems of linear equations are not? (Actually, I was slightly wrong: at the time of my talk, I was unaware of Kakuro which combines linear and Boolean equations. But one still has to see whether Kakuro beats Sudoku in popularity.)
Still, why is Sudoku popular? I believe the answer is in a rhythm of repeated cycles of operations each of which engages our brains just up to a right and most pleasurable level of intensity. As a student, I experienced a soothing, relaxing effect of carrying out a recursive algorithm, like long division, or Euclid's algorithm or a diagonalisation of a lambda-matrix. Later, in my research work, I felt a similar emotional impact of inductive arguments in finite group theory: you start with a minimal counterexample to the theorem, and then simplify it step by step, like removing layers from an onion, until you pin-point the core contradiction and destroy the counterexample. My teacher, Victor Danilovich Mazurov, expressed the principle of a "minimal counterexample" using a line from a Russian fairy tale:
Тут старший брат спрятался за среднего, средний за младшего, а младший на колени упал, ручки поднял и пощады просит.
(The biggest brother hid behind the back of the younger one, the younger one hid behind the youngest one, and the youngest brother fell on his knees, raised his hands and pleads for mercy.)
I would not write this posting now if the audience of my talk at the WFNMC conference did not immediately agree with, and approve of, my comparison of execution of certain types of recursive algorithms with the bubble wrap popping. I should perhaps explain that the audience included some of the best experts on mathematical education in the world, especially on advanced and non-standard aspects of mathematics teaching. They definitely knew everything about "recreational mathematics", puzzles, brainteasers and conundrums of every possible kind. Their support allows me to be quite confident in my comparison of Sudoku with the bubble wrap popping. In any case, the lady on the train was doing her Sudoku in an immediately recognisable bubble wrap popping rhythm.
So, with the authority of the conference on my side, I dare to formulate my thesis:
We will not understand the psychological and neurophysiological roots of an important aspect of mathematical practice until we figure out why is bubble wrap popping so addictive and pleasant activity. Why does it comfort and help to relax? Why is it soothing?
Actually, some years ago I have formulated a rather embarrassing conjecture that the attraction to bubble wrap popping is genetically determined. Buble wrap triggerss in humans archaic instincts linked to an ape-like behavior: grooming (and even more importantly, mutual grooming) and destruction of lice. In apes and monkeys, mutual grooming is an important part of social bonding, which explains its soothing, comforting, relaxing effect.
In my search on the web for a confirmation of my conjecture I have not managed to get further than websites devoted to virtual bubble wrap popping, like this one. It is very difficult to google for anything containing the words "bubble wrap", since almost everything sold on the Internet is mailed in a bubble wrap packaging, and, as the result, Google produces 9,090,000 hits for "bubble wrap". I offered the problem to my colleague Gregory Cherlin, who was more internet savvy and carried out a successful search – see his notes on The Bubble Wrap Gene. I take the liberty to reproduce them here:
"Obsessively popping bubble wrap is apparently an increasingly common activity. Sasha Borovik has suggested this is related to normal grooming behavior in primates.
We give some references for others interested in this question.
- Description of the gene HOXB8, NIH
- Controls normal grooming behavior. Disruption in mice leads to obsessive grooming behavior.
- "Summary: This gene belongs to the homeobox family of genes. The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, which are located on different chromosomes and consist of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. This gene is one of several homeobox HOXB genes located in a cluster on chromosome 17. Hoxb8 knockout mice exhibit an excessive pathologic grooming behavior,leading to hair removal and self-inflicted wounds at overgroomed sites. This behavior is similar to the behavior of humans suffering from the obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder (OCD) trichotillomania. "
- Trichotillomania Learning Center
- Discussion of grooming-related disorders in humans
- Houston Zoo Conservation Program
- Discussion of bubble-wrap popping in primates (p. 8)
- Virtual bubble wrap
Meanwhile, my own search for buble wrap popping on Google Scholar led me to the book
Teens Together Grief Support Group Curriculum. Adolescence Edition; Grades 7-12 by Linda Lehmann-Norquist, Shane R Jimerson and Ann Gaasch, Psychology Press (UK) 2001, 165 pp. ISBN 1583913025 .
I have not seen the whole book, but, apparently, page 57 contains sufficiently revealing words:
… Bubble Wrap: Give the teens a square of bubble wrap to pop for one of their breaks. They really get into the sound and action of popping the bubbles. …
As I suspected, the soothing and comforting effect of bubble wrap popping is indeed well-known to practicing psychotherapists.
Yes, it appears that HOXB8 is indeed the Bubble Wrap Gene and is responsible for Sudoku being attractive to humans. I would rather hear more on that from geneticists and neurophysilogists.
At last I am in position to formulate the moral of this fable. I believe that a real understanding of one of the key issues of mathematical practice (and especially of mathematics teaching):
- why are some objects, concepts and processes of mathematics are more intuitive, "natural", or just more convenient and acceptable than others?
cannot be achieved without taking a hard and close look at the very deep and sometimes archaic levels of human mind and human neural system. Indeed, Stanislas Dehaene said in his book The Number Sense that
We have to do mathematics using the brain which evolved 30 000 years ago for survival in the African savanna.
If particular, should we be surprised if it would be confirmed indeed that the most comfotable pace of execution of a recursive algorithm is set by a gene responsible for grooming behavior?
I very much value a "global" outlook at mathematical practice (best represented by David Corfield's Philosophy of Real Mathematics), but I personally prefer to concentrate on the "microscopic" level of study.
"For immediate popping. At your own risk, insofar as local statutes allow."

Services are coming together for the late North Carolina Gov. Jim Holshouser
SOUTHERN PINES � Services are coming together for the late North Carolina Gov. Jim Holshouser.
A state legislator from Holshouser's home county of Moore says the former governor's funeral will be Friday at Brownson Memorial Presbyterian Church in Southern Pines. Rep. Jamie Boles is a funeral director serving the Holshouser family.
Holshouser died Monday at a Pinehurst hospital at age 78. He was the first Republican elected North Carolina governor in the 20th century and just the third since 1901.
Holshouser was born in the mountains and served many years in the General Assembly before getting elected governor in 1972. He served one four-year term during an era when Democrats dominated state government and the legislature.
Boles says visitation will be held at the church Thursday evening.

LOS ANGELES - UCLA Anderson Assistant Professor Corinne Bendersky's research focuses on various aspects of organizational conflict management and negotiation. While at a professional conference, she got to talking with Olin School of Business Assistant Professor Chris Long about their mutual interest in managerial control systems. At the same time Professor Bendersky was collecting data on a related topic with Professor Calvin Morrill at UC Irvine. All three decided to collaborate together.
The resulting paper was presented at the Academy of Management's annual conference in the conflict management division and was awarded the prestigious Best Empirical Paper prize. The reviewers at the conference unanimously agreed it was the best paper they had read this year and it was subsequently nominated for the Best New Directions paper award as well. More than just an award, the recognition validates the work itself and sends a message to the authors that their research is significant.
"I'm absolutely thrilled and encouraged," Bendersky said. "It's a strong signal that the paper will eventually be published in a high visibility outlet and will make a contribution to the field."
The paper investigates the relationship between managerial styles and the perceptions of managerial fairness held by subordinates. Bendersky said they started with some basic understandings of how employees perceived fairness by their bosses found in existing research. But, she said, there was not enough context to those perceptions. "So, we went in with some general questions about how the context of how people are managed affects their perception of fairness," she said. These perceptions of fairness are based on such things as rewards, on managerial decision making and on interpersonal treatment of subordinates by managers.
It would be easy to assume that each subordinate comes to his or her own conclusions regarding the fairness of their managers, with each focusing on their own perception of fairness. But the research demonstrated otherwise.
"We found that people managed in different ways, focused on different types of fairness," Bendersky said. "But that perception was systematic across all people managed by the same person." In other words, perception of fairness is a reaction to the style in which you are being managed.
The next step for Bendersky and her co-author is collecting another round of data, then submitting the paper for publication. Already, the work is having an impact.
"I think there are already applicable lessons to be shared in the classroom and in the workplace," Bendersky said. "Managers need to realize that the way they manage focuses their subordinate's attention on certain aspects of fairness. Attending appropriately to those concerns can generate high levels of employee performance and violating them can be extremely costly."
Lying In The Bed That You Make: How Subordinates Monitor Their Supervisor's Efforts to Promote Fairness (Abstract)
We argue that subordinates develop expectations about specific types of fairness commensurate with the managerial controls they encounter and engage in particular fairness monitoring behaviors to evaluate whether their managers fulfill or violate their fairness expectations. In the first of two survey studies, we observe that subordinates who encounter market controls conduct distributive fairness monitoring and subordinates who encounter bureaucratic controls conduct procedural and interactional fairness monitoring. In our second survey study, we observe that managers who effectively attend to their subordinates' fairness expectations enjoy higher levels of aggregate subordinate organizational commitment and collective esteem than those who do not.

Back When We Were Grownups
A NovelBook - 2001
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
A reflective read for women who question their identity and role as a wife and a mother, and wonder what might have been had they chosen differently.
Rebecca Davitch, a 53 year old grandmother, can no longer be content just being the heart and soul of her extended family. She sets out to recover her girlhood self and in so doing presents the reader with one gently humourous episode after another. Specially recommended for--but not restricted to--the over 50 mothers amongst us.
Not as good as other books written by her. Does ring true, though, about not being satisfied with your life, and thinking by going back to what might have been, might have been better. Not!
This is a wonderful story. Even though there is an age difference between me and the main character I could relate to her thoughts and feelings.
