Strengths: Race XC if you have a chance to buy this fork they are gold - light and super stiff I weigh 70kg. My 29er weighs 9.2kg with this fork. I am 33 fastest descending on technical singletrack out of 2500 riders and normally in the top 10 going up. 42 years old and ride hard....
Weaknesses: 1 1/8 but perfect if you buy an adapter (make sure you can get one first)
Buy one - I just bought anther spare they are seriously great shocks. BIG TIP spend $120 getting it fully serviced buy someone who knows Manitou..... right down pressure setting when you get it right :)

Strengths: Reliable and constantly working - and looks amazing - chrome crown is nice
Lockout and compression work just great.
Feels stiff and compliant - stiffer than other 29er forks out therte
Weaknesses: well After 5000 km it did feel harsh - maybe its time for service :-)
Strengths: Super reliable, once I added oil to the right fork to bring it up to the proper level, changed out the shim with Hayes kit to the convex style shim, and installed an Absolute Plus needle valve kit. This was for a 120mm with 20mm through axle.
Weaknesses: Took a long time to break in. Was a PIA to change a flat at night in a jam with the axle release system in very cold weather on the Colorado Trail.
The most reliable fork I have ever owned. Not the best, but in terms of service and reliability, it has been stellar, for the price. More stiction and nowhere near as plush as a Marz 44 TST2, more an XC type of fork in its dampening qualities.

Strengths: I have the 100mm version with 20mm axle. The axle and relatively short travel make this fork flex free. I like the milo handlebar level because it is small and doesn't clutter the handlebars. The fork, even with 20mm axle is pretty light at under 4lbs.
Weaknesses: The 20mm axle doesn't use any form of quick release, so if you flat expect to take around 5 minutes to change. It uses pinch bolts and hex end cap to secure the axle. The fork is seriously underdamped. No amount of air changes the rate or pregression of this fork. There is no platform to speak of with the milo installed. It's either on or off.
This fork would be great for anyone under 160lbs due to the lack of compression damping and ineffective air pressure adjustment. Other than light weight and stiffness, there are a lot better forks out there with better damping.

Weaknesses: Blows through travel, need to buy new damper to switch between Absolute+ and MILO
Not happy at all thus far. Although I only purchased the 80mm version, the fork has no platform at all. With that said, I currently have the MILO damper installed, which according to Manitou reps is set to the equivalent of 2 or 3 clicks on the Absolute+. I've tried pumping the fork up to pressures in the 140's/150's, with no change in the rate of which I move through the travel. My plan for now is to install the Absolute+ damper and crank up the dial to 4 or 5 clicks, and to maybe change to a heavier weight oil. I'll let you know how it works out.

Strengths: Absolute damping
Weaknesses: Rebound damping
The absolute damper works very well. On the softest setting there is no platform at all. On the firmest setting it is nearly a rigid fork (but still releases for big hits). Coupled with air pressure you can tune the fork to be whatever you want:
low air pressure and high platform = no response to small bumps but full travel on bigger hits
high air pressure and no platform = some small bump compliance and medium travel on bigger hits
of course you can mix and match anywhere in the middle - I run slightly soft air pressure with level 3 (3 clicks from off) platform = no movement from pedalling at all but plush travel at anything medium sized or up.
As good as the absolute damping adjuster is, the rebound damping adjuster is that bad. I disassembled the fork to make sure it was connected. Full-on or full-off seems to make almost no difference. Glad I like the rebound where it is!!
It did take hours to fully break in and achieve full travel at a predictable pressure.
Compared to the F29 fork on my GF Rig, the Minute has more travel (100 v. 80 mm) but feels like 2x as much, is roughly as stiff (both standard QR) and requires maintenance less often.
I like the Minute 29er and would buy one for a bike in the future.

Strengths: Light, stiff, smooth, inexpensive, great value, easily user serviceable, awesome customer service, nice RaStA decals.
Weaknesses: Having to order upgrades/maintenance items/parts through a bike shop.
With the TPC damper it didn't seem to handle the smaller bumps as good as my rock shox reba 29. It seemed to blow through the first part of travel (smoothly for sure) The new Asolute + Damper should help by being able to find tune it slightly more.
Make the crown black..the silver is a detractor. Black is easier to match.
The Minute 29er came with a TPC Damper set-up with my Spot Longboard purchase. I was running a Reba 29er on my other GF SS and assumed I would just switch the forks over after getting the Spot. (Had horrible experiences with past Minute 26er SPV forks...terrible to say the least..)
After researching on MTBR and other sites I was overall impressed with the positive reviews the Minute 29 fork received and figured I would give it a shot before swapping to my Reba. (lots of forums about Manitou finally coming to market with a solid/comparable fork to Fox/RS)
** Switching to my Reba? Ain't gonna happen! **
The Minute 29er TPC fork was especially smooth and tracked well on rocky descents and everything else I threw at it. After my first ride I was thinking..."this is definitely not the same Manitou fork as the ones from the past." (I am pretty sure that Hayes group is behind this new design, as Answer was behind the old Minutes..not 100% sure) Either way my only complaint was that I couldn't lock it out. That was it.
** Absolute+ Damper Upgrade **
For a mere $50 and less than an hour changing dampers this might be the best upgrade for the Minute. Period. The fork with the Absolute + now has 6-7 "clicks" and each click actually FEELS different. "Wide Open" all the way to "Closed/locked out." Every click makes a noticeable difference. I didn't believe it at first. I didn't have any experience with the Absolute damper some people said made clicking noises and didn't have any differences between open and closed.
This new damper (for 2010) is awesome. With the trails being snowed in I can't get out and fully test it but will follow up with any news.
Won't be going back to the Reba at this point (The Reba 29 is still a sick fork(always has and always will be)..but this Minute 29 Absolute+ is showing potential...lots of it.
Strengths: Very plush, absolute valving, stiff, Price
Weaknesses: May need some upgrades to get performance you want. IE: oil weight change and absolute valve fix from Manitou
I have had 3 of these forks both QR and 20mm axles. Besides having to install the "click fix" I have been very satisfied. I want a fork with some sort of motion control with out having to reach down to lock it out or have an extra lever on the bars. Have tried several different fork oils to get the performance I wanted, which I have had to do with other forks also. White Brothers IMV works better than the Absolute valve but its not as stiff as the Manitou. I don't know why people bag on this fork so much in the forums I feel it has the best overall features and performance for the price. Manitou customer service has been very helpful and responsive to my questions. I don't see where you can go wrong.

Strengths: Price, xc performance
Weaknesses: Not best for aggressive riding?
It was either this or a Fox fork for about 200 more. I read reviews saying it went through its travel quickly, and that seems true - though I haven't bottomed it out yet. I'm 190 lb no-air xc rider in rocky rooty CT. I like a fork that's smooth and plush, which this fork does very well. If you're like me, you may like this fork. If you're a jumper and big hitter, maybe not.
Strengths: Biggest Strength, Value. Next to that the Through Axle (TA) option is a must for anyone looking to increase stiffness, confidence, and control in a downhill run. The hose routing and brake mounting are easy to install and are aesthetically pleasing. Rebound adjustment on this price of a fork is a huge bonus.
Weaknesses: This fork does take more psi to dial in correctly compared to other similar products. Upon landing this fork off of a drop, you will notice the dreaded "popping/clicking/buzzing" noise. DISCLAIMER: This has been identified and responded to by Manitou - it is not a product failure or anything that affects the performance, it simply requires a replacement shim that can be sent to you free of charge with instructions.
Otherwise, the dampening control can take a while to get used to, but that is because you have to get used to adding more air pressure.
After hours of component review, and questioning whether or not this fork is worth anything or "To Good to be True", I decided to give it a chance.
Upon initial outing, I was not sure about the fork quality. I had played with the dampening, and everything worked well, but it took me a while to realize I needed to add more air pressure to really get it dialed in. User error aside, this fork works exactly as it is supposed to.
Now, I ride with one or two clicks and 10-15psi more than the recommended amount. I did encounter the "clicking" noise, and did receive the fix from Manitou, but I have not installed it because I am having too much fun riding it. The lockout works excellent when you want to cruise a flat, the dampening control adds control in the downhill or tech sections, the travel is perfect for my "Aggressive XC" build, and the rake is perfect for climbing.
The best part about this fork is the T/A setup. The added rigidity and control really bump my confidence and have helped me become a faster XC rider by pushing the DH skills. This detail, when combined with more aggressive wheels (FLOWS) makes me feel like I have an awesome AM 29er, a highly sought after item these days.
Bottom Line - no way can the value be beat on a fork like this. It looks great, performs just as well as forks 3 times its price, and is built tough (5 chilis). The overall performance really can't be beat, sure there was one component that caused a noise, but no harm or flaw, and it was fixed. As far as performance, it is unbelievable quality at the price I paid, so I can't complain (5 chilis)

Strengths: STIFF. SMOOTH. LIGHT. light weight of an air fork but it feels like a coil sprung fork. Very plush. I was very skeptical of Manitou forks, because I thought FOX was the BEST, hands down. I weigh @ 200 pounds. I tend to be fairly abusive to my gear and this thing takes it no problemo. I have the 100mm QR version. I was a HUGE fan of FOX forks before this, but boy am I glad I didnt shell out 6 or 7 hundo on an F29. This feels a lot like my old Fox Vanilla RLC, which I LOVED. Only thing I dont like is the noise the Platform damping makes when you increase the damping... maybe it will go away eventually? not a big deal. The platform damping is very functional. small clicks make a huge differnece and it is easy to access on the fly.
Weaknesses: sticky oinking noise when you tighten up the platform damping. Oil level was a little off from the factory.
Well worth it for 350. Hell, if i had to spend 650 on either a Fox F29 or the Manitou Minute 29, I'd go with the Manitou. Very happy with it's stiffness, tracking, progressive coil-like feel, and toughness.

A bill proposed in the Tennessee General Assembly would allow courts to order outpatient treatment for people with severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, who could be dangerous if not treated.
Tennessee advocates for the mentally ill are split about whether to support the legislation, billed as a crucial means of preventing tragedies.
The Tennessee chapter of the National Alliance for Mental Illness is neutral on the bill, which the Senate last week put off until April 6.
"It is too divisive for our membership," said Roger Stewart, deputy director for the Tennessee chapter. "There is not a clear majority of people on one side or the other for us to take a stance on this bill."
This bill authorizes a court to order a proposed mental health patient to receive assisted outpatient treatment upon finding that:
The person is at least 18 years old and has severe and persistent mental illness
Without treatment, the person is "reasonably likely" to pose a substantial risk of causing serious harm
The person is unlikely to comply with outpatient treatment voluntarily
Court-ordered compliance will help keep the person in treatment and reduce the risk of harm to the patient or community.
Source: Senate bill
Families of people with mental illness tend to favor the bill, which would allow a family member, hospital director or mental health care provider, or an adult who lives with the patient, to petition for an involuntary outpatient commitment.
The bill applies to people 18 and older. The court must find that the person has severe and persistent mental illness, is unlikely to comply with treatment voluntarily and is at a high risk of causing harm if not treated.
"When you see a loved one that's spiraling downward, and you know something is not right, and yet they refuse to acknowledge there's a problem, there really isn't a legal solution to that," Stewart said.
But some people with mental illness chafe at the idea of being forced to take medicine and worry about potential abuses, he said.
"These are extremely serious medications [for chronic mental illness]," Stewart said. "They have serious potential side effects. ... Somebody could be forced into consequences they don't want for their life."
Untreated mental illness has been cited as a cause for a number of fatal shootings. The most recent is Jared Lee Loughner, the man accused of wounding U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killing six others, including a federal judge, in Tucson, Ariz.
Tennessee is one of six states that does not allow court-ordered outpatient treatment, according to the Treatment Advocacy Center, an Arlington, Va.-based nonprofit.
Tennessee's bill (SB0608) was introduced by Sen. Doug Overbey, R-Maryville, in response to a 2007 shooting at a Knoxville Hooters restaurant.
The shooting suspect, David Rudd, had chronic mental illness and had not been violent in the past, his family told The Associated Press at the time.
But each time he was released from a mental health facility, Rudd would stop taking his medications and succumb to his illness. His family felt unable to get him the help he needed, the AP said.
"Studies show people with severe mental illness, while receiving treatment, are no more dangerous than everybody else," said the Treatment Advocacy Center's Brian Stettin, policy director and advocate expert on the state of Tennessee. "When you remove treatment from that picture, it changes."
Stettin helped Overbey revise an earlier version of the bill.
Overbey said New York passed "Kendra's Law" in 1999 after a person with mental illness who was off his medication pushed a woman to her death in front of a subway train.
"The whole idea is not punishment, but appropriate treatment," Overbey said.
An early version of Overbey's bill that required counties to develop assisted outpatient treatment programs was costly, Stettin said. This year's version has no mandates and would cost the state much less, he added.
The bill is scheduled to be in subcommittees this week.
Dr. Larry Thompson, chief operations officer for Volunteer Behavioral Health in Chattanooga, worries about a section of the bill that would require a physician to certify that the patient has declined treatment and could be dangerous.
"I think getting a physician to certify what might happen in the future is kind of asking them to be a little more clairvoyant," he said. "Most practitioners are going to be fairly reluctant to take that on."
Thompson said having caseworkers persuade people with mentally illness to go into treatment voluntarily is more effective than involuntary outpatient commitment.
"Just showing up at the center kicking and screaming is probably not the best therapeutic approach," he said.

Additional details emerged Monday in the case of a Point Pleasant Borough man suspected with supporting the terror group ISIS.
The man, Gregory Lepsky, 20, was first taken into custody by Point Pleasant Police officers following an incident Feb. 27, when officers went to an Ocean Road residence, responding to a call that Lepsky was threatening to kill the family dog. Police set up a perimeter around the home, a statement issued Monday said, and Lepsky eventually turned himself over to the officers.
“During our attempt to negotiate … Lepsky emerged from the residence and was taken into custody,” the statement said. “Lepsky was transported to [Ocean Medical Center[ to be treated for a self-inflicted laceration.”
The family dog was located within the residence alive, however, sustained a significant laceration to his back and was immediately transported to an area veterinary hospital.
A large knife was recovered from the suspect’s bedroom that was believed to have been used in the attack on the dog, police said.
Detective David Scalabrini of the Point Pleasant Police Department charged Lepsky with terroristic threats, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon, criminal mischief and animal cruelty.
Through the course of this investigation, information was developed to connect Lepsky with ISIS and a potential plan to build and use a pressure cooker bomb, according to police. A pressure cooker was reportedly stored behind a roll of bubble wrap in his bedroom.
It was at that point that detectives from the Point Pleasant Police Department commenced a joint investigation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.
Lepsky reportedly praised ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi in online postings. He allegedly tried to kill the dog because he considered it “unclean” in his view of Islamic law.
The FBI said in a statement Friday that Lepsky could face 20 years in prison for his alleged crimes.

The return of Eliada’s annual corn maze, the largest in Western North Carolina, marks the return of the fall season — reminding Ashevilleans to head outside and enjoy the (so far) somewhat cooler weather. And that message is carried out in more ways than one at the autumn attraction, opening on Friday, Sept. 5, running through Oct. 26.
This year’s maze design was inspired by outdoor recreation, featuring Mr. Moon of the Asheville Tourists, one of the main sponsors of this fall’s maze.
In the labyrinth, says Brooke Brownlow, corn-maze manager at Eliada Homes, “you have everything that would link in with the recreation theme — sports equipment, bikes and Mr. Moon. And we also have the attractions that are known from previous years: corn cannons that shoot corn at pumpkin men, slides, a corn kernel box (an alternative to a sandbox for younger children). And we have a new attraction this year: a lassoing competition.
“We’ve got fence posts set up along the edge of the field and pictures of the animals that we have here, and the children will have an opportunity to learn lassoing skills to see if they can lasso one of our farm animals. It should be great great fun. We hope to add that to all of the other [regular] attractions that prove to be very popular.”
With 12 acres of four separate mazes varying in length and many other activities to enjoy, Eliada’s corn maze attracts thousands of people every year.
“Last year I believe a little more than 20,000 people over eight weekends came,” Brownlow says. “More than $160,000 was raised, and all of this money goes to fund the projects and the programs for the children here at Eliada. It’s a great fundraiser to be able to provide all the extras for the kids and to care for the farm animals. It’s such a beneficial event, and the kids really respond to it.”
And with a 2.7-mile maze trail, along with a shorter one-mile maze and two “storybook” trails for smaller children, the corn maze and other activities are proven to be an all-ages affair.
The storybook trails feature two characters from children’s books: Spookly and Ciderella. “Spookly really ties in with the anti-bullying campaign,” Brownlow says. “From what I understand, Spookly is a square pumpkin who was teased for being square by all of the other round pumpkins.” One day, Spookly saves the day with his unique shape. “It really ties in with school curriculum and things that kids deal with,” while Ciderella teaches children about the importance of knowing where their food comes from.
And for those who wear themselves out shooting corn cannons or climbing the rope “spider web,” tractor rides are available that weave in and out of the maze.
“This is the sixth year of the corn maze,” Brownlow says. “And it’s gained more and more popularity every year. We encourage everyone who hasn’t been to come out and see what’s going on, learn more about Eliada and our work with local children and families.”
And Eliada’s always looking for volunteers to take shifts during this yearly event, offering two free tickets for each volunteer. “It’s very easy,” Brownlow says of the volunteer work. “We ask that volunteers take a 3-hour shift, but we do give you snacks and a drink and we’ll show you exactly what to do and support you every step of the way.
“We had 500 volunteers volunteers come out last year, and every single [one who] takes a shift helps us and saves us money. The more money we can raise, the more money goes to helping and supporting local families. Even if it’s one shift over the weekend, it’s still a shift. It’s still saving us time and money. And we have shifts available all through September and October.”
Corn maze hours:
- Thursdays 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
- Fridays 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
- Saturdays 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
- Sundays 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.

You can fell happy now, your account is there. Let setup you’re online banking service with HSBC.
STEP 5: Set Up Your Online Banking Service
A very special task is to get the online banking access. The normal process asks for a SSN. What you need to do is call the bank and ask for a “Temporary ID Registration”
They will send it by email along with a special link for you to create a username for your online banking service.
You will also need a password that the bank will send via regular mail. The problem is that they will only send this to a US based address. So you will need to use the forwarding mail service. Be sure not to use a P.O. Box as this is not accepted for the bank.
Now this needs special attention: When you give the address be sure to ask them to read it for you for confirmation. Sometimes their systems don’t get the forwarding mail addresses correctly. If this is the case ask them to put the address in the “attention” field.
Now, this mail can take some time. Two weeks or more. The best is to be patient. You can call the bank after a few weeks to check that the mail has been sent.
Remember, this process is not a “standard service” so there could be problems. If this happen the best is to contact them to see what can be done.

With the American Idol Live Tour passing through Los Angeles, yesterday those of us in the Music Journalism track traveled via yellow cab to the Staples Center to have one-on-one interviews with seven American Idol contestants from this year’s past season. I was fortunate enough to interview 22-year-old Megan Joy from Utah, who was full of life when she walked into the room where we were holding our interviews, with her hair in curlers.
Joy was never going to audition for American Idol, but with pressure from her family and friends, she couldn’t escape the auditions. "I didn't want to do it at all, but my friends and family made me audition," she says. “I didn’t think it was in the cards for me." She never thought she had a chance of making it through the auditions, let alone making it to the top ten. Her favorite week was when she finally made it to the top ten because it guaranteed her spot on the American Idol Tour. “I was all set,” she explained while she comfortably leaned against the wall next to us.
For Joy, the best part about being on the show was being up on stage with a live audience in front of her. When asked about what it was like living with the other contestants, her face lit up and she said she truly enjoyed it since everyone was “awesome and a lot of fun,” with no drama at all. Throughout her time spent on the show, she learned that there will always be people there to tear her down, but she now knows how to rise above the criticism. With that tool, she has become stronger as a person and a performer.
The American Idol Live Tour is her first tour ever and playing in her hometown three nights before the L.A. show made her really excited to perform. Meeting her fans that are super “stoked” to see her gives her much pleasure in what she does. She says hearing her fans chant her name at every show is a little overwhelming for her, but it makes her appreciate everything that has happened so far. After touring ends, she plans on working on her own album that will have a jazz, hip-hop, and blue grass feel to it.

text: Tumor-derived transforming growth factors (TGF) have been proposed as possible mediators of hypercalcemia in malignancy. We have studied the action of recombinant human TGF-alpha in cultured bone cells and in bone explant cultures. In clonal UMR-106 rat osteosarcoma cells, TGF-alpha and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were equipotent in binding to the EGF receptor. TGF-alpha and EGF both stimulated resorption of neonatal mouse calvaria, and maximal responses were obtained with 10 ng/ml of TGF-alpha after 72 h in culture. The effects of both TGF-alpha and EGF in calvaria, but not those of parathyroid hormone, were inhibited by 5 X 10(-7) M indomethacin. Fetal rat limb bone cultures were less sensitive to TGF-alpha than neonatal mouse calvaria, with a concentration of 30 ng/ml being required to stimulate resorption in this system. The bone-resorbing activity of TGF-alpha in fetal rat bones was inhibited by 10 ng/ml calcitonin but not by 5 X 10(-7) M indomethacin. EGF at concentrations up to 300 ng/ml did not stimulate resorption of the limb bones at time periods up to 66 h. The results indicate that human TGF-alpha is a potent bone-resorbing agent, and support the concept that this growth factor exhibits some effects distinct from those of EGF. TGF-alpha could play an etiologic role in the hypercalcemia of malignancy.

Polo Grounds Area information
Polo Club Place, now known as Polo Grounds, was organized in 1925 to hold polo matches by the “who’s who” of Denver. By 1929 the depression and then World War II contributed to the decline of Polo and in 1940 the club closed.
Today Polo Grounds is a quiet refuge for some of Denver’s oldest and most prominent families. The 60 residents enjoy acreage sites and share private security and a well for irrigation. Architecture varies from modest clapboard homes to grand stone brick mansions. Polo Grounds has HOA that has a strict architecture review board and manages its shared well and security.
Conveniently located within minutes to Cherry Creek shopping, coffee shops, and restaurants.

STARS is a BMDO program managed by the U. S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command SSDC. It began in 1985 in response to concerns that the supply of surplus Minuteman I boosters used to launch targets and other experiments on intercontinental ballistic missile flight trajectories in support of the Strategic Defense Initiative would be depleted by 1988. SSDC tasked Sandia National Laboratories, a Department of Energy laboratory, to develop an alternative launch vehicle using surplus Polaris boosters. Two STARS booster configurations were developed, STARS I and STARS II. STARS I consists of refurbished Polaris first and second stages and a commercially procured Orbus I third stage see fig. 1. It can deploy single or multiple payloads, but the multiple payloads cannot be deployed in a manner that simulates the operation of a post-boost vehicle PBv.1 To meet this specific need, Sandia developed an Operations and Deployment Experiments Simulator ODES, which functions as a PBV. See app. I, fig. I. 1. When ODES is added to STARS I, the configuration is designated STARS II.

Renewable resources are resources that can be replenished naturally over a relatively short period of time. These resources include wind, solar, aerothermal, geothermal, hydrothermal, ocean energy, hydropower, biomass, landfill gas, sewage treatment plant gas, and biogases. Wind energy harnesses the power of the wind to generate electricity, while solar energy uses the sun’s rays to produce electricity or heat water. Aerothermal and geothermal energy tap into the earth’s natural heat to produce power, and hydropower and ocean energy utilize the power of moving water to generate electricity. Biomass refers to organic matter such as plants and wood, which can be burned to produce heat or electricity. Landfill and sewage treatment plant gas and biogases are produced by decomposing organic waste and can be captured and used as sources of fuel. These renewable resources offer a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.

The Faculty of History is establishing a new LGBTQ+ Working Group, chaired by Dr Sloan Mahone, which will meet once a term and report to the Faculty’s Equality & Diversity Committee.
This is the latest measure the History faculty has undertaken in line with its public commitment to gender and LGBTQ+ equality. Currently, the Faculty holds a Gender Working Group every term to raise and consider any issues relating to sex equality, gender equality and LGBTQ+ equality pertinent to History at Oxford, which feeds back to the Equality and Diversity Committee.
When approached for comment, the faculty told the Oxford Student, “The History Faculty is glad to be setting up a new working group on LGBTQ+ Equality. In September 2020, the Royal Historical Society Report on LGBT+ Histories and Historians, called on Historians to address the need for enhanced awareness, knowledge and understanding of LGBTQ+ experiences and our responsibility actively to challenge discriminatory behaviours affecting LGBTQ+ people. This is also an explicit objective of the Athena-SWAN programme, which the History Faculty is fully engaged with. The new LGBTQ+ working group responds to these initiatives, to concerns around LGBTQ+ issues raised by our students, and builds on the History Faculty’s statement of values, which emphasises our commitment to creating an environment in which everyone can fulfil their potential. The group will exist in parallel to and have the same standing as the Gender Equality Working Group, the Disability Equality Working Group and the Race Equality Working Group, all of which include undergraduate and graduate student members along with Faculty members, which meet once a term to reflect on issues of relevance and to advise and report to the Equality and Diversity Committee.”
“It is hoped that the new LGBTQ+ working group will provide a space in which LGBTQ+ students and staff can share concerns and ideas, actively pursue measures to support the wellbeing and inclusion of LGBTQ+ staff and students, and further promote engagement with the growing body of scholarship offering lesbian, gay, queer and trans perspectives on culture, politics and society, and extending our understanding of histories of gender, identity, and sexuality.”
Jade Calder, Co-president of the Undergraduate Historians Assembly, told the Oxford Student, “I am really glad to see that an LGBT+ working group has been established by the History Faculty. I would thoroughly encourage any student interested in improving experiences and engaging with the relevant research and scholarship to apply to get involved – I know from first hand experience that the Faculty truly values student input. I would also like to note the truly valuable work that the Race Equality Action Group has been doing this year, and I hope that both groups can be at the forefront of efforts to create an inclusive and innovative faculty for both students and staff.”
The History faculty is looking to recruit one or more undergraduate representatives to join the working group. This would involve a commitment to participate in termly meetings of the working group in the 2021-22 academic year, and to attend an afternoon workshop on the afternoon of 28th or 29th June. Interested students should email email@example.com by Friday 9am, 18th June, with up to 250 words on why you wish to be involved, and what, if any, previous experience or expertise you might have.

The subject of countless songs, poems, books, and expressions, the soul is probably the most referenced and least understood aspect of the human experience.
Think of all you have ever read or been taught about the soul. What are some of the words that come to mind? Mysterious. Immortal. Ethereal. Spiritual. Individual. Subconscious. It evokes a sense of the unknown at the same time that it seemingly forms a direct part of our most core identity.
In his Red Book, Carl Jung recounted a journey toward his own recognition of the soul’s primacy, and as a driver for all that is experienced in the worldly world, writing:
I shall learn that my soul finally lies behind everything.
I too have come to the conclusion that the soul is the most critical component of this giant apparatus that directly connects us to the divine. But it was not an easy one to reach. For the soul is in many ways abstracted and hidden by the spectacular illusions of the physical plane. And, it is not something we are explicitly taught about in the realms of formal education, organized religion, and especially science.
As a cartographer of the collective unconscious, Jung had every assurance that he had attained a superior perspective – one that would eventually be classified as scientific – on the forces and archetypes that populate and condition the human psyche. But as he began his descent into his own personal madness, traced eternally for us in the Red Book, the scientist began to discover vast rifts between his objective observation and his mystical experience:
I thought and spoke much of the soul. I knew many learned words for her. I had judged her and turned her into a scientific object. I did not consider that my soul cannot be the object of my judgment and knowledge; much more are my judgment and knowledge the objects of my soul. Therefor the spirit of the depths forced me to speak to my soul, to call upon her as a living and self-existing being. I had to become aware that I had lost my soul.
Looking back at what he, and the greater part of the intellectual society, had identified and classified as the soul, Jung writes:
I had to accept that what I had previously called my soul was not at all my soul but a dead system.
Let’s remember that Jung was creating the Red Book in the shadow of the Scientific Revolution. The motto of the time was still owned by Descartes, who put everything on the saddle of cognition when he wrote I think, therefor I am. In this respect, the ‘soul mechanics’ that Jung was surfacing in his shamanic states put him at direct odds with the time. The idea of the soul as some cosmic portal burrowed deep in the biological architecture of man was unreconcilable.
No wonder he never wanted the Red Book published.
Before Jung began his own inward journey, he placed the soul as a mind-driven phenomenon as well. Though he did believe it was a real feature of the human condition. But once he entered that long night of his search for meaning beyond the physical realm, he discovered the transfiguring force of a thing that was part conjurer, part guru:
You took away where I thought to take hold, and you gave me where I did not expect anything and time and again you’ve brought about fate from new and unexpected quarters. Where I sowed, you robbed me of the Harvest, and where I did not sow, you gave me fruit a hundredfold. And time and again I lost the path and found it again where I would never have foreseen it. You upheld my belief when I was alone and near despair.
At every decisive moment you let me believe in myself.
For those who wholeheartedly decide to take up the path, the soul becomes our silent but unwaveringly patient guide into an experience that has no relation to the world most people inhabit. One in which we lose all interest and hunger for the rewards of this earthly plane:
He whose desire turns away from other things, reaches the place of the Soul. If he does not find the soul, the horror of emptiness will overcome him and fear will drive him with a whip lashing time again in a desperate and ever and a blind desire for the hollow things of the world.
He could find his soul and desire itself, but not in the objects of desire.
Jung had become the servant of his soul. But not as some penitent pilgrim under the sway of a commanding and judgmental Lord. Not at all. This realization was the most transcendent of all because he realized that he was, at the highest level of identity, the “expression and symbol of the Soul.”
For the mystical aspirant, the promise of this level of soul-integration is an invitation to initiation. As Jung discovered, it is a deeply isolating and wholly internal process; one that could not have been directed from something outside of his being.
The initiate knows this is true because it is your soul, itself, that is beckoning you. And testing you at the same time.
How hard is faith! If you take a step toward your soul, you will at first miss the meeting. You will believe that you have sunk into meaninglessness, into Eternal disorder. You’ll be right! Nothing will deliver you from disorder and meaninglessness, since this is the other half of the world.
And its the only half of the world that I now want to explore.
This is the second part of a series about Jung’s Red Book, the first of which is here.
I have owned Carl Jung’s Red Book since it was published in 2009. This is the legendary journal that he kept during a period of self-discovery and introspection that has been described as both revelatory and psychotic since its publication.
At the beginning, my copy was placed in our living room, open to one of the many entrancing images that Jung painted during this deeply private odyssey into, what he termed, “a confrontation with the unconscious.”
I hate to admit this, but I became one of those people who owned the book, but never read it. And so one of the greatest and most intimate journals of mystical illumination sat like some literary trophy on display in our living room. Often discussed, but only in the most banal of degrees.
Until a few months ago when I felt this deep pull to start reading Jung’s words.
So the book migrated to my office desk and then began traveling with me to cafés and weekend trips. I am sure it looked ridiculous, or more probably pretentious, carting around the 10 pound crimson red volume. But I didn’t care, I was so wrapped up in Jung’s writing that I used every spare moment I had to push through the text, marking it up with pencils so that I could return to transcribe the passages that were relevant to my work.
There is a lot I want to write about the Red Book and I will do that in a series of posts over time. But I want to start with a very simple and profound bit that comes from the Introduction. It is a statement about the time in which Jung was writing (1913-1917) by Hugo Ball that places it very precisely in a parallel historical period to the one we are currently entering:
The world and society in 1913 looked like this: life is completely confined and shackled. A kind of economic fatalism prevails; each individual, whether he resists it or not, is assigned a specific role and with it his interests and his character. The church is regarded as a “redemption factory” of little importance, literature is a safety valve……The most burning question day and night is: is there anywhere a force that is strong enough to put an end to this state of affairs? And if not, how can one escape it?
I have long been interested in the system of historical cycles; since I first read Schlesinger’s cyclical theory in high school. The idea that we can look at the intrinsic governing forces of a past time and then use those to map events in a current epoch is fascinating and takes the chaos out of human affairs. History, after all, is a function of economic, social, and spiritual currents. And when one looks back at previous historical trends, they will see very similar patterns occurring.
But I am focused on much more subterranean forces. These are the ones that precipitated the 1920’s and the 1960’s, and now these 20teens, as eras of unparalleled social change.
The birth of the jazz age, and all of the potent intellectual/artistic movements that were surfacing worldwide, is often overshadowed by the omnipresent psychedelia of the hippie era. But what they share in common is that amongst all the partying and re-identification, there was also a deep movement inward toward the mystical frontier.
And the person you find in the early pages of the Red Book is unlike anything you have ever read or been taught about Carl Jung. Here, he is going full shaman and what he is unearthing and chronicling about the pre-material forces that guide and propel our material plane is of critical importance as we enter this time of confusion and fear.
Because as you will discover, there are one of two belief systems that you can adopt about our reality. The first is that it is unpredictable, chaotic, and unpatterned; the product of a spectrum of disparate and purposeless forces which we have no choice but to protect our selves from.
Or you believe that there is an order to this world. That there is a system of reality-generation that is comprehensible and regulated; chaperoned by some force unknown and unseen, but which has the verifiable tracings of a system in place.
Of course, there is an infinity spectrum that bridges these two paradigms. The fundamentalist Christian can share a certain brand of certainty about the nature of reality with the molecular biologist.
But when one turns inward from the world, especially as a result of a calling from that deep seat of the soul, they embark on a journey of self-discovery that is both torturously lonely and paradigmatically revelatory. That is to say, what they learn about their ‘self’ and the forces that propel ‘it’ are ultimately understood as the same forces that govern the world.
This is the nature of systems theory. And I believe we live in an immaculate and uncharted system designed to nurture, evolve, and optimize our human ‘being’. Oh, so much could flow from this statement, and it will.
But for now I want to leave you with Jung’s description of the ‘spirits’ that drive and conjure the world we experience, but from two polar frontiers. I challenge you to read this in the context of the time we live in and ask yourself what Jung’s vision holds for us in this time. (I have bolded the lines I marked as important in my transcriptions):
I have learned that in addition to the spirit of this time there is still another spirit at work, namely that which rules the depths of everything contemporary.
The spirit of this time would like to hear of use and value. I also thought this way, and my humanity still thinks this way. But that other spirit forces me nevertheless to speak, beyond justification, use, and meaning.
But I did not consider that the spirit of the depths from time immemorial and for all the future possesses a greater power than the spirit of this time, who changes with the generations.
The spirit of the depths has subjugated all pride and arrogance to the power of judgment. He took away my belief in science, he robbed me of the joy of explaining and ordering things, and he let devotion to the ideals of this time die out in me. He forced me down to the last and simplest things.
The spirit of the depths took my understanding and all my knowledge and placed them at the service of the inexplicable and the paradoxical. He robbed me of speech and writing for everything that was not in his service, namely the melting together of sense and nonsense, which produces the supreme meaning.
But the supreme meaning is the path, the way and the bridge to what is to come.
Read Part 2 of the Jung series, here.
i have come to understand that my reality is generative, not deterministic.
i mean we do not live in a paradigm that is set and pre-determined as we are taught. but rather, one that is generated by the inputs (thoughts, feelings, actions) of the human beings that are generating, or transmitting, it.
further, the engine that generates this reality – from the transmitting being to the experience they are having – is something we have come to lazily call ‘consciousness’, but which is actually a much more quantifiable factor, which can be described as vibratory frequency.
reality is a generative construction that moves from the inside out. not the outside in.
two points about that:
- the best way to understand this way of seeing reality is as an algorithmically-driven platform. in other words, reality is created by highly tuned formulas that convert non-material impulses to a material experiential realm.
- this is confusing for many because we currently inhabit a paradigm that is actually highly deterministic (ie. for 99% of humanity, their experience feels very much beyond their own power of creation). and that is because humans have been conditioned to believe that that is what reality is; something that is generated from outside of them. so we are generating a deterministic reality paradigm. a very tricky business indeed.
so the vast majority of human beings believe we are born into a world paradigm that they cannot change and which they just have to accept. this has unquantifiable impact on the way that we live in the world and what we believe is possible.
the first step toward a reboot of the human operating system is to teach our people that the reality paradigm is generative and thus transactional: which means that we are in a constant state of negotiation with the reality we are experiencing.
it is created by, and for, us.
this is a revelation of the highest (r)evolutionary order. it means any single individual can gain agency in the process of reality-creation by learning about the power their thoughts, emotions, and actions have in creating their moment-to-moment experience.
because what we are experiencing is a direct output of our vibrational state and it can change moment-to-moment based on the nature and content of the vibration we are emitting.
in other words: if reality is generative and transactional, it is transmutable.
the great problem is that certain groups have more generative power than others. and so it is that some can say, “this is your world, i am just living in it.” in most cases, these generator populations have no idea of the power they wield in creating the experience of others. this is by design.
understanding the nature of reality, and our ability to re-orient ourselves within it, will be the key determining factor of whether the human civilization escapes the extinction algorithm we are currently programmed for.

Exeter High School is at the head of the class when it comes to solar energy.
The high school roof will be adorned with the largest collection of solar panels in the state of New Hampshire — surpassing that of Stonyfield Farm in Londonderry and Public Service of New Hampshire”s headquarters in Manchester. This achievement in energy efficiency deserves high honors.
Thanks to a partnership with Revolution Energy and four others working together as New England Seacoast Energy Partnership, 394 15-foot solar panels will be added to Exeter High School by Dec. 31. These solar panels will not only put Exeter on the map for forward thinking for environment stewardship but will save taxpayers money as well.
According to Michael Behrmann, a principal with Revolution Energy, the panels at EHS will initially provide between 83 and 87 kilowatts of electricity with the hopes of reaching 100 kilowatts. Nathan Lunney, chief financial officer for School Admnistrative Unit 16, predicts this electricity will supply 7 to 10 percent of the school”s energy and save about $170,000 in the first year alone.
At Exeter”s Tuck Learning Campus, the former high school, more innovation will take place with the replacement of two boilers and the addition of a micro-turbine. The turbine will use excess heat from the boilers to produce electricity.
We congratulate SAU 16 and Exeter High School administrators for thinking outside the box when it comes to saving money across the district. It”s amazing what a bit of creativity and investment up-front can do to save hundreds of thousands of the dollars for years to come.
We wish we could say the same about the Seabrook School District, where voters recently rejected a $1.9 million proposal for energy-efficiency improvements to the elementary school. The warrant article failed with 56 opposing and 43 in favor.
Honeywell International project engineer Jim Lucy presented information about the proposal using loan money that was at a low to zero percent interest at the special school district meeting. The project would have also taken advantage of stimulus money.
School Board member Bruce Cassassa said the project would save the town $600,000 in interest charges. Other sources of funding included $577,394 in state building aid, along with a utility rebate of $144,555 from Unitil. Yes, $1.9 million is a considerable sum, but the investment would have paid dividends down the road.
Voters” rejection of this energy-efficiency plan is a missed opportunity.
Decisions on investing in and permitting means of alternative energy production become more common by the day.
In Portsmouth, the Historic District Commission is considering what could become only the second use of solar panels in the city”s historic district. The commission, while taking its time to weigh all considerations, has not closed its mind to a new technology on historic structures. As commissioner Joseph Almeida said “This decision and how we handle it is going to set the precedent for everyone else who wants to do this. I just want to make sure we do it right, that”s all.”
The same could be said for every alternative energy project. Let”s hope each one is made with a long-range view in mind.

Google has announced its game streaming platform Stadia. The platform allows gamers to play 3D games via their browser.
According to a recent announcement, the platform will be "for everyone", but game streaming still requires a powerful internet connection to make it run smoothly.
The platform was tested in 2018 with Project Stream when Google tested a Ubisoft title streamed at 1080P at 60 frames per second.
Google will make available to game developers its data centers to deliver high fidelity graphics to more gamers. This is because streaming doesn't require powerful hardware to render graphics because the frames are rendered by Google's machines instead.
At launch the platform will support 4K resolution streaming at 60 frames per second. 8K resolution streaming will be supported at a later date. A second 4K resolution stream will be available for players to share to YouTube.
The platform is said to make use of multi-gpu machines delivering up to 10.7 GPU teraflops. This is higher than Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One at 4.2 teraflops and 6.0 teraflops respectively. Nvidia's Titan V GPU delivers 12.3 teraflops, which is higher than Stadia's capabilities.
A game controller was also announced that is similar to the one displayed in Google's recent patent filing. The controller has a seperate button to instantly share gameplay to YouTube because all gameplay is already being recorded while playing via its stream.

Never seen this before and some of them formed as we sat and watched the others…
Weather channel showed similar cloud on radar the other day.
Could be exhaust from an alien spacecraft or smoke from the Minneapolis riots. Very interesting.
Those sure are some odd ones - look almost like a sky writer trying to do a face but running out of smoke. But if you were watching them form, you’d have seen that, I suppose.
BTW, being a UK guy, are you seeing stuff from the Cloud Appreciation Society? A person I know put me on to them and there is a gentleness about their approach that reminds me of the laid back feeling I get on longish paddling days. I’ve put this up before, but it seems to fit with this post and perhaps others who might enjoy it may have missed it.
There are some pretty impressive photographers involved with these folks, too.
Thanks i will have a look here is a bit better shot
I, too, thought they looked like deliberate trails left by aircraft.

Several tests are used in clinical practice and research to assess the functions subsumed by the frontal lobes of the brain. It is important for clinicians and researchers to be made aware of the functions assessed by individual frontal tests and to understand which frontal regions might be impaired in their patient groups. This book aims to provide a critical review and an appraisal of both the neuropsychological and experimental tests that have been devised to assess frontal lobe functions.

There are several tests used in clinical practice and research worldwide that have been devised to assess the functions subsumed by the frontal lobes of the brain. Anatomical localisation has revealed that the frontal lobes can be divided into sub-regions with different functional domains. As a result, a number of authors working in the frontal lobe literature have made a case for patients with frontal lobe damage to be considered in their distinct subgroups, rather than considered together in one unitary group. As a result, it is important for clinicians and researchers to be made aware of the functions assessed by individual frontal tests and understand which frontal regions might be impaired in their patient groups, as patients with damage to one of these regions will perform poorly on tasks tapping that region yet may perform well on tasks tapping the unaffected regions within the frontal lobes. The 'Handbook of Frontal Lobe Assessment' provides a critical review and appraisal of both the neuropsychological and experimental tests that have been devised to assess frontal lobe functions. It includes many tests that have not been included in previously published neuropsychological compendia. Throughout, the book discusses the available frontal tests in relation to patient and lesion data, neuroimaging data and aging data in order to offer clinicians and researchers the opportunity to choose the best assessment instrument for their purpose.

When Handbook of Normative Data for Neuropsychological Assessment was published in 1999, it was the first book to provide neuropsychologists with summaries and critiques of normative data for neuropsychological tests. The Second Edition, which has been revised and updated throughout, presents data for 26 commonly used neuropsychological tests, including: Trailmaking, Color Trails, Stroop Color Word Interference, Auditory Consonant Trigrams, Paced Auditory Serial Addition, Ruff 2 and 7, Digital Vigilance, Boston Naming, Verbal Fluency, Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure, Hooper Visual Fluency, Design Fluency, Tactual Performance, Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised, Rey Auditory-Verbal learning, Hopkins Verbal learning, WHO/UCLA Auditory Verbal Learning, Benton Visual Retention, Finger Tapping, Grip Strength (Dynamometer), Grooved Pegboard, Category, and Wisconsin Card Sorting tests. In addition, California Verbal learning (CVLT and CVLT-II), CERAD ListLearning, and selective Reminding Tests, as well as the newest version of the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-III and WMS-IIIA), are reviewed. Locator tables throughout the book guide the reader to the sets of normative data that are best suited to each individual case, depending on the demographic characteristics of the patient, and highlight the advantages associated with using data for comparative purposes. Those using the book have the option of reading the authors' critical review of the normative data for a particular test, or simply turning to the appropriate data locator table for a quick reference to the relevant data tables in the Appendices. The Second Edition includes reviews of 15 new tests. The way the data are presented has been changed to make the book easier to use. Meta-analytic tables of predicted values for different ages (and education, where relevant) are included for nine tests that have a sufficient number of homogeneous datasets. No other reference offers such an effective framework for the critical evaluation
Originally published in 1992, this is a wide-ranging text concerned with the principles and practice of neuropsychological assessment in adults. It combines a flexible hypothesis testing approach to assessment with information on specialised test batteries. The book covers the major areas of memory, language, perception, attention, and executive dysfunctions, and includes chapters on dementia, alcohol, drug and toxic conditions, stroke and closed head injury. Assessment of dysfunction in cases involving claims for compensation and chapters on specialised assessment techniques, including automated test procedures, are provided. The book presents a sound introduction to this complex area and gives guidelines for the clinician who may need concise information on a specialised topic.

Neuropsychological assessment is a difficult and complicated process. Often, experienced clinicians as well as trainees and students gloss over fundamental problems or fail to consider potential sources of error. Since formal test data on the surface appear unambiguous and objective, they may fall into the habit of overemphasizing tests and their scores and underemphasizing all the factors that affect the validity, reliability, and interpretability of test data. But interpretation is far from straightforward, and a pragmatic application of assessment results requires attention to a multitude of issues. This long-awaited, updated, and greatly expanded second edition of the Clinician's Guide to Neuropsychological Assessment, like the first, focuses on the clinical practice of neuropsychology. Orienting readers to the entire multitude of issues, it guides them step by step through evaluation and helps them avoid common misconceptions, mistakes, and methodological pitfalls. It is divided into three sections: fundamental elements of the assessment process; special issues, settings, and populations; and new approaches and methodologies. The authors, all of whom are actively engaged in the clinical practice of neuropsychological assessment, as well as in teaching and research, do an outstanding job of integrating the academic and the practical. The Clinician's Guide to Neuropsychological Assessment, Second Edition will be welcomed as a text for graduate courses but also as an invaluable hands-on handbook for interns, postdoctoral fellows, and experienced neuropsychologists alike. No other book offers its combination of breadth across batteries and approaches, depth, and practicality.

In one volume, the leading researchers in intelligence and neuropsychological assessment interpret the range of issues related to intellectual and neuropsychological tests, including test development and psychometrics, clinical applications, ethical and legal concerns, use with diverse populations, computerization, and the latest research. Clinicians and researchers who use these instruments will find this volume invaluable, as it contains the most comprehensive and up-to-date information available on this important aspect of practice.
The growth of clinical neuropsychology has been unprecedented. This growth has been oriented more toward the provision of than toward the foundation for services. Thus, while a greater number of psychologists are performing a greater number of neuropsychological procedures, there seems to us an uneven parallel growth between these services and the empirical foundations for them. It should come to no one's surprise that increasingly aggressive attacks on the field have been leveled. Despite these attacks, clinical neuropsychology con tinues to enjoy exceptional growth within psychology and acceptance by other health practitioners, insurance companies, legislators, judges, juries, and above all, consumers of our services. Growth without self-reflection is a dangerous enterprise, as is growth without directions. We find it disconcerting that existing and limited "self analysis" has assumed that neuropsychological dysfunction is immune to the same variables that affect psychological dysfunction. Some attention has been paid to the most obvious ones, such as age, but all others have been ignored and/ or misunderstood. This neglect has spawned a body of knowledge replete with questionable data and unfounded conclusions. Hence, it is surprising that clinical neuropsychologists consider themselves to be more scientifically sound than their regular clinical counterparts.
"The book is a wonderful and much-needed addition to the corpus ofscientifically based literature on learning and learningdisabilities, especially reading disability." --Sally E. Shaywitz, MD Co-Director, Yale Center for the Study ofLearning and Attention and author of Overcoming Dyslexia A comprehensive reference on the theory and practice ofevidence-based school neuropsychology As new studies reveal disorders once thought behavioral orfunctional to be neurobiological or neurochemical in nature,clinical child neuropsychology has developed as an importantdiscipline for understanding and treating a variety of child andadolescent disorders. With neuropsychological assessment morewidely used in school settings than ever before, schoolpsychologists require greater knowledge of both the discipline andits application in a school environment. Bridging theory and practice, the Handbook of SchoolNeuropsychology provides critical information on neuroanatomy,assessment, and practical, evidence-based interventions for avariety of childhood neuropsychological difficulties anddisabilities. Featuring contributions from leading experts, thisgroundbreaking resource covers all aspects of schoolneuropsychology, from training and credentialing, assessment, andintervention to understanding and serving students with specificdisorders or diseases. This hands-on resource also features an appendix filled with usefultools, including a comprehensive neuropsychological questionnaire,sample neuropsychological evaluations, a list of associations, aswell as sample neuropsychologically based IEPs. The text presents the material in five sections, covering: * Foundations of school neuropsychological practice * Development, structure, and functioning of the brain * Neuropsychological assessment for intervention * Understanding and serving learners with diseases and disordersand from special populations * Neuropsychological interventions in schools The most comprehensive reference on the theory and pr

The two volumes of the Handbook of Psychological and Educational Assessment of Children, Second Edition, cover all aspects of child and adolescent assessment. Leading clinical scientists summarize the state of the science of assessment paradigms, instruments, and methods. With an emphasis on practical clinical considerations, chapters also delve into issues related to test development, psychometrics, and bias. Conveniently designed for reference or text use, this vast knowledge base has been synthesized into two volumes which may be purchased separately or together. INTELLIGENCE, APTITUDE, AND ACHIEVEMENT surveys assessment of intelligence, learning styles, and academic achievement; covers historical issues and psychometric methods; and addresses diversity issues, ethical concerns, and special topics in mental testing. PERSONALITY, BEHAVIOR, AND CONTEXT reviews the use of projective methods, interviewing and observation, and objective methods of assessing personality and behavior; discusses the assessment of specific syndromes and symptoms; and presents tools for assessing adaptive skills and the family context.
This handbook celebrates the abundantly productive interaction of neuropsychology and medicine. This interaction can be found in both clinical settings and research l- oratories, often between research teams and clinical practitioners. It accounts for the rapidity with which awareness and understanding of the neuropsychological com- nents of many common medical disorders have recently advanced. The introduction of neuropsychology into practice and research involving conditions without obvious neurological components follows older and eminently successful models of integrated care and treatment of the classical brain disorders. In the last 50 years, with the growing understanding of neurological disorders, neuropsychologists and medical specialists in clinics, at bedside, and in laboratories together have contributed to important clinical and scienti c advances in the und- standing of the common pathological conditions of the brain: stroke, trauma, epilepsy, certain movement disorders, tumor, toxic conditions (mostly alcohol-related), and degenerative brain diseases. It is not surprising that these seven pathological con- tions were the rst to receive attention from neuropsychologists as their behavioral symptoms can be both prominent and debilitating, often with serious social and economic consequences.
The Handbook of Gerontology Research Methods offers a clear understanding of the most important research challenges and issues in the burgeoning field of the psychology of aging. As people in developed countries live longer, so a range of research methods has evolved that allows a more nuanced understanding of how we develop psychological and neurologically. Allied to this is an increasing concern with the idea of well-being, a concept which places cognitive performance and development within a more socially grounded context. With contributions from a range of top international scholars, the book addresses both typical and atypical aging, highlighting key areas such as physical and cognitive exercise, nutrition, stress, diabetes and issues related to death, dying and bereavement. Successful ageing is emphasised throughout the text. Each chapter concludes with a series of practical tips on how to undertake successful research in this area. This unique collection is the first book to provide both a concise overview of the major themes, findings and current controversies in this growing field, as well as an understanding of the practical issues when researching older adults which may impact on research outcomes, intervention, policy and future directions. Designed for both students and researchers interested in the psychology of aging, but also highly relevant for students or researchers in related fields such as health psychology and social care, the Handbook of Gerontology Research Methods is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand more about the psychology of aging.
The past decade has brought important advances in our understanding of the brain, particularly its influence on the behavior, emotions, and personality of children and adolescents. In the tradition of its predecessors, the third edition of the Handbook of Clinical Child Neuropsychology enhances this understanding by emphasizing current best practice, up-to-date science, and emerging theoretical trends for a comprehensive review of the field. Along with the Handbook’s impressive coverage of normal development, pathology, and professional issues, brand-new chapters highlight critical topics in assessment, diagnostic, and treatment, including, The role and prevalence of brain dysfunction in ADHD, conduct disorder, the autistic spectrum, and other childhood disorders; The neuropsychology of learning disabilities; Assessment of Spanish-speaking children and youth; Using the PASS (planning, attention, simultaneous, successive) theory in neurological assessment; Forensic child neuropsychology; Interventions for pediatric coma. With singular range, timeliness, and clarity, the newly updated Handbook of Clinical Child Neuropsychology reflects and addresses the ongoing concerns of practitioners as diverse as neuropsychologists, neurologists, clinical psychologists, pediatricians, and physical and speech-language therapists.
Includes established theories and cutting-edge developments. Presents the work of an international group of experts. Presents the nature, origin, implications, an future course of major unresolved issues in the area.

Arctic air will drop daytime temps from mid-80s to low 60s
A cold front expected to bustle through South Florida overnight will drop daytime highs from the mid-80s to low 60s with a weekend-long stay of Arctic air.
Wednesday’s high temperature at Palm Beach International Airport reached 88 degrees — just two degrees shy of the 1918 record.
But the high temperature Thursday is expected to hit just 63 degrees. The normal daytime high for this time of year is 77 degrees.
That chill will remain through Sunday as peak temperatures stay in the 60s and overnight lows dip to the upper 40s in West Palm Beach.
Clear skies will follow the front.
But ahead of it, showers are likely with rain chances picking up late Wednesday and tapering off Thursday morning.
The Storm Prediction Center is concerned that severe thunderstorms could kick up in the Treasure Coast, and has highlighted areas from northwest Palm Beach County through Orlando as potential spots for strong wind gusts.
No prolonged rain spells are forecast, but stalled showers could cause some minor flooding. Palm Beach County is expected to get less than a half-inch of rain.
A thunderstorm also is possible with the potential for damaging wind gusts along the coast of Palm Beach County, according to the National Weather Service in Miami.
The prolonged blast of northern air will be the first substantial cold front since January.
Much of the season’s winter air has been trapped far north of Florida where ripping low pressure at the North Pole and high pressure in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans created a choke hold on the chill. The fronts that have come through have been quickly followed by an onshore wind shift that pumped warm air in from the Atlantic.
Winds behind this week’s front will remain north to northwest, providing a steady funnel of cool, dry air.
