DN6026 - The Body, Perception and the Senses (2018/19)
Module title The Body, Perception and the Senses
Coursework 50% A 2000-word essay on one methodological approach to the body, perception and the senses.
This level 6 module, Body, Perception and the Senses, provides a way of theorising discourses around the body and the senses. It draws on both historical and recent theoretical debates, often of a transdisciplinary nature, that will allow students to think in new ways about how the body is lived in the world. Beginning with eighteenth-century aesthetic theory and the importance of the senses, it will examine critically the centrality of vision in Western culture through a variety of different approaches (phenomeonology, feminism, queer theory etc), before considering the development of new technologies of vision in the nineteenth century and contemporary theories of embodiment in the digital environment. The module will use cultural approaches to the study of the senses to assess theories suggesting that aspects of perception (sight, hearing, sense of smell, etc.) can be known, measured and therefore manipulated and used in the designed environment for a variety of purposes.
The two assessments will help students to think in a critical way about the body and the senses: the first is on a methodological approach to the body and the senses, and the second is an e-portfolio of images, with commentary, on the theme of ‘the body’.
The module will enable students to:
• understand the sensory relationship of people to their environments drawing on a range of critical approaches;
• analyse examples of bodily and sensory perception of the world using a range of methodological approaches;
• reflect on their own individual sensory relationship to differing contexts and understand how that affects their evaluation of what they experience.
Students will meet weekly for lectures and seminars and will go on study triphaping our notions of ‘the body’ in society (these could include The Wellcome Collection, The Hunterian Museum, the Old Operating Theatre, etc), as well as contemporary exhibitions that deal with these issues. LO1, LO2
The syllabus will typically include a number of methodological approaches (for example, ethnographic, phenomenological, feminist, queer theory) and students will be asked to select one of these in order to write a 2000-word essay for their first assignment. The second assignment is built up over the whole module and requires students to upload short visual analyses each week on to Weblearn to assemble an illustrated portfolio of ‘bodies’. These illustrations will be accompanied by a text of approximately 600 words and students will receive formative feedback from the tutor on this work via Weblearn. Students will then improve their work and select five examples to go forward for final assessment, which should be about 3000 words in total. LO2, LO3
1. use key texts, images and artefacts to develop their understanding of how the senses mediate people’s perception of their environments and objects or phenomena within them;
2. research how differing socio-cultural and historical contexts affect sensory appreciation and perception;
3. question their own sensory relationships to differing contexts.
The second assessment is built up over the duration of the module: students will post a weekly blog on Weblearn with illustrative material and texts of about 600 words, discussing and critiquing key debates around the issues of the body, the senses, and the centrality of vision in Western society. Taken together, these will comprise a critical portfolio of ‘the body’. The tutor will comment regularly on these postings, which the student is then free to improve to go forward to final assessment. The final submission will comprise five selected postings, of about 600 words each, totalling about 3000 words.

Scherzo for Violin & Piano, WoO 2, from “F-A-E Sonata”
In April 1853, Johannes Brahms first met violinist Joseph Joachim and the two struck up a friendship. After a longer visit that summer, Joachim gave Brahms letters of introduction, including one addressed to Robert and Clara Schumann. On September 30 that year, Brahms met the Schumanns for the first time. He stayed with the couple and was introduced to their circle in Düsseldorf, including conductor and composer Albert Dietrich.
This sonata was composed as a surprise for Joachim when he played a concert in Düsseldorf in October 1853. Schumann, Dietrich, and Brahms each contributed movements to a sonata for violin and piano, and then challenged Joachim to guess who had composed each movement. Dietrich was assigned the opening movement, Schumann wrote an intermezzo and finale, and Brahms composed the scherzo. They dubbed the project the “F-A-E” Sonata, after Joachim’s motto: Frei aber einsam (Free but alone). The composers assembled the movements into a performing edition, and inscribed it with a reversed-initial dedication: “In Expectation of the Arrival of an honored and beloved Friend.” Joachim was delighted with the gift, played the entire sonata through immediately with Clara at the keyboard, and correctly announced each movement’s composer without a moment of hesitation. He kept the score for the rest of his life. Only in 1906, a year before his death, did Joachim finally allow Brahms’ Scherzo to be published.
Brahms’ youthful Scherzo follows the traditional three-part scherzo form, with a rather stormy C minor segment at the beginning and end surrounding a more lyrical central trio.
Piano Quartet No. 2 in G minor for Piano, Opus 45
In 1883, while Fauré was revising the 1876 score of his first Piano Quartet in C minor, Opus 15, However, he did not finish the Piano Quartet No. 2 in G minor until 1886, shortly after the death of his father. The quartet premiered on January 22, 1887 at the Société Nationale performed by violinist Guillaume Rémy, violist Louis van Waefelghem, cellist Jules Delsart, and Fauré himself as pianist. The score was published later that year with a dedication to the eminent German pianist and conductor Hans von Bülow, a champion of Brahms, who had supported Fauré’s music in an open letter to the Parisian conductor, violinist, and impresario Édouard Colonne.
The Allegro molto moderato leads straight into a “forging” theme, whose rhythm derives from a childhood memory of the noise of an ironworks driven by water power from a mountain stream.
There follows a capricious, joyful Scherzo in which two themes of the preceding movement are used in modified form.
The death bell motive in the Adagio was written in memory of the composer’s father. Of the beautiful melody Fauré’s devoted pupil and biographer Charles Koechlin wrote, “The viola would have to be invented for it if the instrument didn’t already exist.”
The Finale is a passionate movement in which the fire that burns in the first movement is recaptured.
Joseph Wechberg wrote, “The Quartet is a radiant work and a fine example of Fauré’s musical thought, his feeling for taste and form, his linear neoclassicism, his sense of balance and solid technique. One of his biographers calls his music ‘the reflection of his mind in sound.’ It must have been a fine mind.”
Piano Quartet No. 2 in A major, Opus 26
This sunny, appealing quartet figured in the public concert by which Brahms introduced himself to Vienna in 1862. The other performers were members of the Hellmesberger Quartet. It is full of the happiness of a young man who had found himself and been found by the musical world of Germany and Austria.
The first movement is exceedingly lyrical, even in the energetic passages. The simple opening theme is composed of four measures of detached notes followed by four bars of smoothly connected ones. Simultaneously, a rhythmic contrast is established and this is continued in the second theme when the lovely piano melody is played in duos against triplets in the other strings. The music reaches an intense emotional crescendo before the piano quietly begins the recapitulation. The coda returns to the opening melody and concludes with the strings imitating the piano melody one beat later.
The nocturne-like slow movement is one of Brahms’ most individual and haunting pieces. It is partly also an homage to his mentor and early champion, Robert Schumann. The main melody is given by the piano, and is beautifully embellished by the muted strings. Particularly striking is the passage at the end of the first theme, which appears again later when the piano ripples up and down an arpeggio, answered quietly by the cello, then more strongly by the cello and viola, and finally with forceful intensity by all three strings.
The Scherzo opens with a charming melody played by the strings followed by a playful little tune on the piano. A strong trio section in the subdominant is contrasted with a lyrical second melody.
The Finale complements the other movements by using a main theme of strongly marked rhythms and a plethora of contrasting other themes.

Off-Sale General License
The above-entitled matter having regularly come before the Department November 12, 2019, for decision under Government Code Section 11517(c) and the Department having considered its entirheld on March 28, 2019, before Administrative Law Judge Alberto Roldan, and the written arguments of the parties, adopts the following decision.
In a two-count accusation, the Department seeks to discipline Respondent's license on the grounds that,
On or about June 13, 2018, respondent-licensee's agent or employee, Harmit Singh Dhillon, at the licensed premises, sold, furnished, gave or caused to be sold, furnished or given, an alcoholic beverage, to wit: distilled spirits, to Kara Mulrooney, an obviously intoxicated person,). habitual or common drunkard[1] section 25602(a). (Exhibit D-1)
In each of the above two counts alleged in the accusation, the Department further alleged that there iRespondent in accordance with section 24200 and sections 24200(a) and (b) further alleged that the continuance of the license of the Respondent would be contrary to public welfare and/or morals as set forth in Article XX, Section 22 of the California State Constitution and sections 24200(a) and (b).

t's license.
The operator of the Honda Accord left the scene prior to Rice's arrival. Rice ran the registration records of the Honda Accord and determined that the vehicle was associated with Kara Mulrooney (Mulrooney). Rice determined that Mulrooney lived in apartment #10 at 8601 Fair Oaks Boulevard, which was the complex the Honda Accord had been turning into at the time of the collision. Rice went to Mulrooney's apartment, knocked on the door and announced himself as law enforcement. Rice heard movement in the apartment, but no one responded to the door.
After getting no response, Rice entered Mulrooney's apartment and contacted her at approximately 10:54 a.m. to determine if she was injured and to continue the investigation of the collision. Rice immediately determined that MulrooRice initially had to do a sternum rub with his knuckles to revive Mulrooney so he could speak with her. Mulrooney smelled strongly of alcohol. She had red, watery eyes. Her speech was slurred. Her clothing was unkempt and dirty. At one point when she stood, she staggered, and her shorts fell down. Rice observed her movements to be slow and deliberate.
Mulrooney told Rice that she had purchased vodka at the nearby Valero gas station on Fair Oaks Boulevard, which was the Licensed Premises. Mulrooney described herself to Rice as "fucked up" but denied having drank any alcohol since before the vodka purchase at the Licensed Premises that day. Mulrooney told Rice that she had also taken OxyContin earlier. While she did not clarify when she had taken the OxyContin, she stated that she had taken the OxyContin while drinking vodka. Rice accompanied Mulrooney to the hospital where he observed a phlebotomist draw a blood sample from Mulrooney at 11:32 a.m. on June 13, 2018. Rice booked the sample into evidence and it was later teLaboratory of Forensic Services. The sample taken from Mulrooney had a blood alcohol level of .345 percent and showed the presence of Oxycodone[2]. (Exhibit D-2)
Department Agent B. Pender (Pender) spoke with Mulrooney on June 13, 2018, after she returned to her apartment from the hospital. She stated that she bought Smirnoff vodka at the Licensed Premises earlier that day. Mulrooney perceived herself as being intoxicated during the purchase given that she was shaky and had been on a multi-day drinking binge prior to the purchase. She had trouble entering her PIN number to pay for the purchase, so she ultimately had Dhillon complete the purchase transaction as a credit purchase. Mulrooney stated that she was a regular customer at the Licensed Premises and that she knew Dhillon well. Pender obtained the receipt for the purchase which showed the transaction occurring at 9:27 a.m. on June 13, 2018. (Exhibit D-3) Mulrooney left the Licensed Premises by vehicle and the collision with the motorcycle occurred approximately 3 minutes after the purchase.
Pender went to the Licensed Premises on June 14, 2018, to try to speak with Dhillon. When Pender initially asked for Dhillon, Dhillon told Pender that Dhillon was not there. Once Pendhillon immediately admitted that he was Dhillon. Dhillon admitted to knowing Mulrooney and that she was a regular customer for about 10 years. Dhillon admitted to knowing that Mulrooney drank regularly and that he had seen her on multiple occasions intoxicated prior to June 13, 2018. Dhillon stated to Pender that he had prevented Mulrooney from making purchases on prior occasions because she was "very drunk" and "really messed up". On at least one occasion, Dhillon stated that he had driven her home from the Licensed Premises because she was too intoxicated to get home on her own.
Pender obtained and preserved video recordings of the surveillance system from the Licensed Premises monitors that showed Mulrooney's movement through the Licensed Premises and interaction with Dhillon during the transaction on June 13, 2018. Pender did this by using the video function on his smart phone to record the surveillance system while it was run at regular speed. (Exhibits D-4 and L-1) The exhibits show Mulrooney from two separate angles. They show Mulrooney moving in a shuffling fashion. Her movements are markedly slower than the movements of other persons in the Licensed Premises. Mulrooney is unsteady in the handling of her purse and Dhillon ultimately assists Mulrooney in retrieving her ATM card. After Mulrooney is unable to enter her PIN number, Dhillon ultimately takes possession of Mulrooney's ATM card and rings up the transaction as a credit purchase. During their interviews, both Mulrooney and Dhillon talked about this occurring. In the videos, Mulrooney then slowly reaches forward and uses both hands to take back the card from Dhillon. Mulrooney appears unsteady in the receipt of the card, the handling of her purse and in walking out of the Licensed Premises to her vehicle.
Dhillon testified in this matter. He testified to knowing Mulrooney for multiple years and that she made purchases multiple times a week at the Licensed Premises. He testified to her voice sounding "fine" when she said "morning" to Dhillon and asked to buy vodka upon entering on June 13, 2018. He testified to not noticing any abnormal behavior in Mulrooney that morning. Dhillon testified to not smelling alcohol when he interacted with Mulrooney. Dhillon testified that her eyes were not bloodshot and watery on June 13, 2018. Dhillon testified to knowing what Mulrooney was like when she was intoxicated because he had declined to sell to her on occasions where she appeared to be intoxicated. Both she and her boyfriend have entered the Licensed Premises intoxicated on multiple occasions prior to June 13, 2018, according to Dhillon. Dhillon testified to Mulrooney having trouble with entering the PIN on June 13, 2018, as the result of her not being able to remember her boyfriend's PIN number. This is what led Dhillon to take Mulrooney's card and complete the transaction for her as a credit card purchase. Dhillon testified to telling the CHP officer that "I don't think so" in response to the officer's question of whether Mulrooney was intoxicated when she made the purchase on June 13, 2018. Dhillon testified to looking at Mulrooney during the transaction and that he would not have sold to her if he thought she was intoxicated. Dhillon saw Mulrooney walk to her car and drive away after the vodka purchase on June 13, 2018.
Section 24200(b) provides that a licensee's violation or causing or permitting of a violation of any penal provision of California law prohibiting or regulating the sale of alcoholic beverages is also a basi
As noted in Rice v. Alcoholic Bev. etc. Appeals Bd. 118 Cal.App.3d 30, 35–36 (1981):
"Courts have long recognized that the outward manifestations of intoxication are well known and easily recognized. In Coulter v. Superior Court (1978) 21 Cal.3d 144, 155, the court said: "Defendants have argued that the term 'obviously intoxicated' is too broad and subjective to serve as a satisfactory measure for imposition of civil liability. However, the phrase is contained in section 25602, a criminal statute, and the courts have experienced no discernible difficulty in applying it. (See Samaras v. Dept. Alcoholic Bev. Control (1960) 180 Cal.App.2d 842, 844; People v. Smith (1949) 94 Cal.App.2d Supp. 975; People v. Johnson (1947) 81 Cal.App.2d Supp. 973, 975-976 ). As described in Johnson, "The use of intoxicating liquor by the average person in such quantity as to produce intoxication causes many commonly known outward manifestations which are plain and easily seen or discovered. If such outward manifestations exist and the seller still serves the customer so affected he has violated the law, whether this was because he failed to observe what was plain and easily seen or discovered, or because, having observed, he ignored that which was apparent."
In regard to opinion testimony of intoxication, the Rice court further noted: "Because the manifestations of intoxication are so well known, nonexpert witnesses may offer opinion testimony based upon their observations as to a person's intoxication. (People v. Conley (1966) 64 Cal.2d 310, 325)" Rice v. Alcoholic Bev. etc. Appeals Bd. (1981) 118 Cal.App.3d 30, 35–36
As noted above, "t'plain' and 'easily seen or discovered.'[3]
The factors courts have relied upon in establishing whether or not a person is obviously intoxicated include incontinence, unkempt appearance, alcoholic breath, loud or boisterous conduct, bloodshot or glassy eyes, incoherent or slurred speech, flushed face, poor muscular coordination or unsteady walking, loss of balance, impaired judgment, and argumentative behavior.[4] It is not necessary for all of the signs described to be present in order to find that a person is obviously intoxicated, but there must be sufficient indications "to cause a reasonable person to believe that the one with whom he or she is dealing is intoxicated."[5]
Cause for suspension or revocation of the Respondent's license exists under Article XX, s on the basis that, onLicensed Premises, sold an alcoholic beverage, to wit: vodka, a distilled spirit as alleged in count one of the accusation. (Findings of Fact 2-13)
Despite Dhillon's claim Mulrooney was obviously intoxicated a Dhillon when he sold her a container of vodka. The video evidence revealed that Mulrooney had difficulty walking and performing the simple task of making an ATM transaction to the point that Dhillon had to intercede to complete the transaction for her. Mulrooney, in the video evidence, appears to be in slow motion compared to the movement of the people around her, including Dhillon. Mulrooney reported that she drank prior to going to the Licensed Premises on June 13, 2018. The credible physical evidence received in this matter was contrary to Dhillon's testimony. Dhillon's testimony in this matter was at odds with a statement he made to Hertzell where he said it was obvious that Mulrooney had been drinking. Given the inconsistencies in Dhillon's statements versus his testimony and the fact that his testimony is at odds with the physical evidence received in this matter, his testimony is given little weight. (Findings of Fact 2-13)
The physical symptoms and outward appearance of Mulrooney that Rice saw later were manifest for Dhillon to observe when she came in to make the purchase on June 13, 2018. Rice testified credibly that Mulrooney smelled strongly of alcohol, had red, watery eyes and her speech was slurred when he first contacted her about two hours after the purchase from Dhillon. He noted that Mulrooney's clothing was unkempt and dirty. The video evidence showed that Mulrooney entered the Licensed Premises barefoot. Her blood alcohol level when tested a few hours later was, astonishingly, nearly four times the legal limit. She crashed mere moments after leaving the Licensed Premises despite being on a road with which she was very familiar. Notably, Mulrooney herself perceived that she was intoxicated when she went to the Licensed Premises according to her statement to Pender on June 13, 2018. (Findings of Fact 2-13)
Respondent's agent or employee, Dhillon, knew or should have known that Mulrooney was obviously intoxicated and should not be sold any alcoholic beverages at the time Mulrooney was sold the vodka on June 13, 2018 at the Licensed Premises, as alleged in count one. This count of the accusation is sustained.
Repondent argues that the term "habitual or common drunkard" was found to be unconstitutionally vague, uncertain, and incapable of being uniformly enforced under a prior version of Penal Code section 647 in Ex parte Newbern 53 Cal.2d 786 (1960).
However, the prior version of Penal Code section 647 only used the term "common drunkard," which is different than the language in Section 25602(a) of a "habitual or common drunkard." Even if the language is substantially similar enough to have the same result, this hearing does not grant the authority to the Department refuse to enforce it on that basis.[6]
The evidence shows that Dhillon was aware that Mulrooney was a "habitual or common drunkard." Dhillon stated that he knew Mulrooney well,for the past ten years, and he knew she drank habitually. Dhillon stated that Mulrooney repeatedly came to the Licensed Premises to purchase alcohol when obviously intoxicated. Mulrooney testified that she purchased all her alcohol at the Licensed premises and developed a friendly relationship with Dhillon due to her frequent patronage of the Licensed Premises. Dhillon claims he previously denied sales on multiple occasions to Mulrooney because she was obviously intoxicated. Dhillon stated that on at least one prior occasion Mulrooney was so intoxicated when entering the Licensed Premises that Dhillon drove her home because she could not get home on her own.
Due to Dhillon's own admissions and testimony," based on their shared history. Dhillon chose to make a sale to Mulrooney on June 13, 2018, even with this knowledge in violation of Section 25602(a).two of the accusation. (Findings of Fact 2-13)
Under rule 144[7], the standard recommended penalty for a violation of section 25602(a) is a 15-day suspension. The Department argued for a significant upward departure given the serious outcome that flowed, in part, from the Respondent's sale of alcohol to Mulrooney, regardless of her condition of sobriety, as evidenced by this incident and the prior described history that was developed in this case. There appears to be a pattern of conduct where the Respondent's agents allowed repeated sales to Mulrooney a habitual or common drunkard. Because of the Licensed Premises' tolerance of her alcohol purchases, regardless of her condition of sobriety, Mulrooney came to rely on the Licensed Premises as a place to get alcohol without having to worry about getting turned away. The Respondent failed in its duty to turn away obviously intoxicated persons and habitual or common drunkards trying to purchase alcohol. The evidence established that this appeared to be a pattern. Aggravation is warranted.
The only factor in mitigation applicable to this violation is the Respondent's lack of prior discipline over approximately nine years of licensure. The penalty recommended herein complies with rule 144.
Counts one and two are sustained. The Respondent's off-sale general license is suspended for 20 days for each count. Respondent's suspensions are to be served concurrently.

Debate Host ABC News Has Ignored Most 2020 Democrats This Year
By Rich Noyes | September 12, 2019 8:55 AM EDT
in order to make it onto tonight’s ABC News debate stage a presidential candidate had to receive at , plus.
But to gain traction in the polls, and to generate the impression of viability that interests potential donors, most candidates need the media to give their campaigns enough news coverage so that they don’t appear to be a lost cause.
In the case of this year’s Democrats, the Media Research Center found debate host ABC’s evening newscast has awarded a majority of its news coverage to just one candidate: former Vice President Joe Biden. Meanwhile, a majority of the other candidates have received less than 60 seconds of airtime on World News Tonight, including four who’ve received absolutely no coverage at all.
The ten candidates who will be appearing on tonight’s debate stage — Joe BidenPete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, Julian Castro and Andrew Yang — collectively received 96 percent of the airtime (125 minutes) spent on the Democratic candidates since January 1 on World News Tonight.
The lion’s share (52.5%) has gone to Biden, while the rest of the debaters received 43.4 percent of ABC’s coverage. Only Yang managed to do that in the face of a near-blackout, garnering just a two-second mention on World News Tonight.
Ten other candidates (including four who have already quit the race) shared a meager five minutes of airtime (see chart), while four other candidates — Colorado Senator Michael Bennet, businessman Tom Steyer, former Congressman Joe Sestak, and Congressman Seth Moulton (who has since dropped out) have never been mentioned on ABC’s evening newscast this year.
So, the question can be posed: Have the media already effectively winnowed the Democrats’ 2020 field before the voters ever had a chance make themselves heard?

President George W. Bush Made Obama Possible
Americans simply will not elect a liberal when they feel fear. Since President Bush deserves the credit for our security (through the countless actions he's initiated: tough FISA laws, winning in Iraq, taking on The Taliban in Afghanistan, etc.), he's made the Obama candidacy palatable.
Similarly, Jimmy Carter, could only have beaten Republican Gerald Ford if Americans felt safe. And in 1976, they did. While the Cold War was always on the front burner, during the '70s the chill between America and the former Soviet Union had thawed considerably. Our two countries collaborated on the immensely successful Apollo-Soyuz space missions, signed a nuclear agreement (the SALT Treaty), and entered a period of détente -- a decided easing of tensions.Yes, there were international incidents that threatened to derail this precarious understanding. The 1973 Arab-Israeli war, for one, certainly heightened tensions. But by and large the late '60s through the early '80s was a time of significantly less anxiety between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. No Détente, no Jimmy Carter! The architects of Détente were Republican President Nixon and his Republican Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. They made Carter possible.It's the same story with another liberal, Bill Clinton. If the Soviet Union hadn't come apart and been reconstituted as a Democracy in August 1991, no one would have considered the young, unknown Governor of Arkansas for the top job in 1992. It's only because the Republican president Ronald Reagan brilliantly managed the end of the Cold War, and the Republican president George H.W. Bush defanged (at the time) Saddam Hussein in Gulf War I, that our country would even consider another "Jimmy Carter".
In modern times, the Jimmy Carters among us -- like Barack Obama -- who have neither foreign policy experience or impressive legislative accomplishments, but are charismatic, appealing looking and well-spoken agents of "change," seem to come along in 16 year intervals: JFK, in 1960; Carter, in 1976, and Clinton, in 1992.All of them won the presidency because the Republican presidents who preceded them kept America safe. In so doing, voters felt that they could take a chance on a liberal.
Now, here we are, another 16 years after Clinton and wouldn't you know, the Democrat candidate, Barack Obama, is another young, unknown liberal. Does anyone really believe, if we had been attacked a number of times over these past seven years, the empty bromides of "Yes We Can" from a former "community organizer" would have registered in Iowa? I don't think so. Americans could only consider an Obama, because of the remarkable success of President Bush, through his decisive actions, in ratcheting down the fear Americans felt for many years after 9/11.Of course, the Left insists that we're not safer than we were after 9/11. But, until they come up with a number lower than zero, as in the number of attacks against us since then, that argument remains silly.
Certainly, America does not want a resurgence of the Cold War, but if the Russian Bear continues to rear it's head by continuing its provocations -- into the Ukraine for instance -- or, a major confrontation with Iran unfolds -- then Americans are very likely, out of a justified fear, not to elect a liberal. But, if the current, general atmosphere of everyday life remains as calm through November as it does today -- and Senator Obama is elected -o the ma

Mounting Evidence Dementia Triggered by Acute Stress
A STUDY RECENTLY PRESENTED at the World Congress of Neurology in Vienna suggests acute stress or consuming grief is related to the clinical onset of Alzheimer’s Disease.
An Argentine research team headed by Dr. Edgardo Reich examined 118 randomly selected Alzheimer’s patients, average age 73. An average of 2.4 years had passed between their diagnosis and the onset of symptoms. The Alzheimer’s patients were compared to a control group of 81 healthy individuals whose age, gender distribution and educational level corresponded to the Alzheimer’s group.
“Nearly three out of four Alzheimer’s patients (72%) had to cope with severe emotional stress — three times as many as the control group in which only 26% experienced stress, grief and sorrow during the preceding 2.1 years before the onset of symptoms,” said Dr. Reich.
Most of the stress encountered by the Alzheimer’s group involved:
Bereavement (death of a spouse, partner, or child)
Violent experiences including assault and robbery
Dr. Reich rules out stress as “monocausal in dementia,” but says, “probably a trigger for the initial symptoms of dementia.”
T.
Another study, conducted a couple years ago, reported that women who had been through significant stressors in mid-life had a significantly (65%) greater risk of developing dementia later on. The theory is that stressful events can trigger a cascade of reactions involving the stress hormones (glucocorticoids) and eventually leading to atrophy in the brain’s hippocampus – the region that is the seat of memory, and known to be most affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
The most famous culprit in Alzheimer’s disease, amyloid-beta plaques, have been shown to accumulate following increased brain cell activity. Specifically, there’s evidence that p(which is linked to depression, mind-wandering, and general unhappy thoughts, among others) may have increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease precisely because of this connection. This suggests, somewhat alarmingly, that even our thoughts and moods may affect our risk for dementia.
If you’re like me, just thinking about stress is stressful. But there is good news here, and that is stress is management and can be minimized. For instance, if you or someone you know has just lost a loved one or close friend, und

Fdon’o reduce general, day-to-day stress, I strongly recommend meditation. UnfrazzledCare’s 5-Minute Meditation for Stressed Out Caregivers is a good place to start if you don’t yet know how to meditate. And you don’t have to be a caregiver to benefit from this.

The World cup is finally over and it really seems like an event of the past, at least for me. That is because this year the events in the World Cup where so drastically different that I never really got to sink into the mood. That being said, I know a lot of people who where completely immersed in it.
I am a what you may call a “normal” football fan. What I am trying to say is that I love it when my team is playing a match and I like watching the occasional game, I have the t-shirt of my team but I am not going to cry about it. I haven't until the moment. You never know, life can change.
It seems silly to cry over sports, doesn't it? For your emotions to spill out over the disappointment of losing a game.
I have seen many grown men and women soaked in tears when their team has lost a match. I mean, they have seen their teams be glorious, have golden afternoons, lift their spirits and then plop, it’s all gone.
The FIFA World Cup 2018 was an excellent and unpredictable roller coaster of a month long journey. That is it: only one month and people act as if their entire life depended on it, they revolved around it.
In the end, France won. But the other big teams didn’t even come close. Teams like: Germany, Spain or Argentina failed to impress. Italy wans't even a part of it. And there were a lot of global stars who failed shine when their country needed them the most.
During the last world Cup, in 20114, Germany was unstopable. I have the matches in miy mind, the way the played. The way they gave it all in every single match. That is the reason they won, because they never gave up and they fought till the very end. The celebrations where amazing. And, for a minute there, it seemed as if time had gone still in Germany and all you could feel was euphoria.
So, evidently, everyone thought that Germany's mighty 11 team would shine with such force that we would still be talking about their power. But, as they proved, they were only names, it was so sad to watch them fall. It is as if they didn't know and could not help the tragedy that was taking place.

I have been an expat for quiet sometime and it somehow magnifies the triumphs and disasters of your national team when you are geographically separated from it. I must state that your nationality doesn’t define you as a person, but there aren’t many ways to show love for your connection to home and for many, this is the most obvious one.
Croatia ultimately, had more raw skill and also more guile. The latter is the price of youthful exuberance – a trade-off for energy and optimism.
The 21 World Cup tournaments have been won by eight national teams. Brazil have won five times, and they are the only team to have played in every tournament. The other World Cup winners are Germany and Italy, with four titles each; Argentina, France and inaugural winner Uruguay, with two titles each; and England and Spain with one title each.
The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world, as well as the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world, exceeding even the Olympic Games; the cumulative audience of all matches of the 2006 World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet.
Seventeen countries have hosted the World Cup. Brazil, France, Italy, Germany and Mexico have each hosted twice, while Uruguay, Switzerland, Sweden, Chile, England, Argentina, Spain, the United States, Japan and South Korea (jointly), South Africa and Russia have each hosted once. Qatar are planned as hosts of the 2022 finals, and 2026 will be a joint hosted finals between Canada, the United States and Mexico, which will give Mexico the distinction of being the first country to have hosted games in three different finals.
We decided to ask around, to see how people reacted to this one month tournament.
Solkes: How did you live this World Cup?
Tina G, from England: Oh, it was amazing. For me its always amazing. I love everything about it: the feelings, the excitement, everyone comes together. I had so much fun.
Saskia, from Germany: I was very exited at the beginning but with time I sort of became disappointed. Mostly because my team got kicked out. My team is Germany.
Solkes: What made this World Cup different from the others?
Michael, from Germany: Many things. The big teams where a disspointment, to me and I think to many people. The "smaller" teams, played thir heart out. That is the reason why Croacia got to the finals. I mean, they really deserved it. Another shoker for me was that Germany did not play how I am used to seeing them. TRhis is the first time that the national team has not qualified.
Solkes: How did your schedule change during the World Cup?
Julian Davila Polania, colombian in Quebec: It definitely changed. I am a long distance trucker. so, I organized my shifts accordingly with the games. For isntance, I had to pick up strawberries in l’Ïle d’Orléans. So while the truck was being loaded i watched the game with the farm employees (most of them from central america). In some other moments, I wouldn't leave until the game was over (España vs Rusia).
Solkes: What did you think when you saw the big teams hgo out so quickly?
Julian Davila Polania, colombian in Quebec: Some of the big teams where eliminated, we all knew that was gping to happen (Argentina: lots of "stars" but little team effort, Spain: great game stategy during 2010 but very obsolete, Portugal: a very limited team). The fact that Germany didn't go futrher was a shock. I still don't understand what happened there.
Solkes: Where you satisfied?
Julian Davila Polania, colombiano en Quebec: I loved the World Cup. I would have loved to see Sweden go further, as well as colombia nad Germany. But it was one of best World Cups I have ever seen.
Solkes: ¿What shocked you?
Julian Davila Polania, colombian in Quebec:: I was amazed by Russia, they team, their organization, the security. Croacias president and the ambient the french had after they won. Quebec is such a teanquil city but many french live here and it was noticeable. They took the streets over with flags and makeup.
Solkes: What was the best part of the World Cup for you?
Génesis Duarte, from Venezuela: I liked the surprises. It was a pretty even W.C. where we could apprecite a tough competition in most of the matches.
Génesis Duarte, from Venezuela: The bigest difference was the fact that new technologiues where used (VRA - Video Assistan Review). We had te opportiunity of seeinbg first hand the new path modern fottball is taking and it is very interesting. It is somenthing the fans will need to get used to but it has many advantages. There are many aspects of the rules and technology that must be analized but this is what we took from Russia 2018.
Solkes: What are your thoughts regarding the football "super stars" and their performance during the tournament?
Génesis Duarte, from Venezuela: That was another of the many interesting facts of this World Cup. This World Cupo is teachung us that football is a team sport and beyond great athlets there are eleven players who have to fight together to win a match. Players like Ronaldo, Neymar and Messi did hace their important moments and made a difference in key moments. Messi got Argentina in the second round and then they where kicked out because they played so poorly. Neymar was very present and Ronaldo made 4 goals. But let me insist in the fact that it'smore than a single players performance people must think of it a whole. teams like Croacia with 3 great players like Modric, Rakitic and Mandzukic played as a team. In France, we all saw a new player "being born", Mbappe. However, he was focussed in playing for his team and not a team playing for one single player. That was one of Argentina's biggest problems.
So, after speaking with some people we got a better grip of the meaning of the World Cup. Turning the page we must say that even if the World Cup was a disappointment to many, loads of money was made. The final global TV viewership may be over one billion people. Going into detail, attracted a total TV audience of 3.2 billion.
The next four years will mark the 2022 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to be the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup. It is scheduled to take place in Qatar in 2022. There are many first that will take place in four years. For example, this will be the first World Cup ever to be held in an Arab country and the first in a Muslim-majority country. In addition the tournament will be the last to involve 32 teams. This is so because in 2026 there will be 48 teams competing.
© all rights reserved.This will also mark the first World Cup not to be held in May, June, or July; the tournament is instead scheduled for late November until mid-December.
So, now that the World Cup is over, it is really over. I mean, the next morning the news feed went back to the "regular" news. And, the glory of the players and their teams has been forgotten. T- shirts, scarfs and flags have been put away. But, they are well stored, waiting for the next four years when they will glow again.


Members and six guests were treated to a fabulous, interactive workshop on making a good impression, whether for a presentation, speech, meeting or job interview. Right from the word go, participants were involved in lively group discussions in order to answer the "First Impressions Quiz" questions which ranged from "what is your definition of 'platform presence' to 'how do you control your nervousness' and 'how important is your first iimpression on your listener' to 'what is the easiest way to change your image?' The workshop also included a brief look into affirmations (NLP) and visualizatons, relaxation techniques and impression management. The evening concluded with supper and an informal chat on the expectations and aspirations of our six visitors who are all keen to come to our next club meeting.
Next meeting: Wednesday, 21st February, 7-9pm @ Richmond Town Hall, Cambridge Street.

Thought-driven bionic limbs. Eye-controlled computers. Advances in social robotics. With more awareness and funding available for special needs individuals than ever before, the cutting-edge of assistive and adaptive technology is a sight to behold. Here are 5 of our favorite special needs technology advances.
With recent successes in bionic limbs that include thought-controlled legs and arms, a team of Australian scientists — backed by a $2.5M sponsorship from the U.S. Army — is attempting to develop the first thought-controlled bionic spinal cord to assist soldiers with disabilities.
The implant will empower the user for a period of five years. In fact, the signal has the capacity to control not only a robotic limb, but a mobile device, mobility device, or exoskeleton.
Designed for individuals with rehabilitative disabilities and motor disabilities, the Gaze interaction computer access method replaces the mouse with the eyeball as the primary means of driving a mobile device. Developed by Tobii Assistive Technologies, Inc., the collection mprove the overall quality of life.
The technology boasts a smooth, streamlined computer interaction method that only requires the movement of the eye itself to activate, select, zoom, and scroll across the input screen. When it comes to adaptive technologies, the eyes definitely have it.
The Georgia Institute of Technology is putting mobility freedom where your mouth is with the development of a tongue-controlled powerchair. For the person with special abilities, all they need is a titanium barbell tongue piercing, a headset adapter, and an iPod app connected to a mobile device.
These special needs technology components work in tandem — flicks of the tongue active magnetic signals in the piercing that are passed from the headset to the app to tell the mobility device which way to move. Think of it as the 'alternative' to the 'sip-and-puff' assistive technology that has been around since the 60s.
When it comes to incorporating water activities into mobility freedom, forget electronics and think pneumatics. After success with a pneumatic scooter, is pioneering a special needs technology wheelchair powered completely by air.
AMS Vans offers mobility technology to help you live your very best life. From mobility equipment to the most affordable collection of new and used wheelchair accessible vans, we want to be your personal mobility superstore.

Report finds 89% less bot traffic in video impressions and 75% less in standard display impressions when buying direct from premium publishers
“Advertising fraud is a by all participants,” said DCN CEO Jason Kint. “This 2015 report should be seen as a tool that allows the industry to study the habits and successful performance of highly trusted premium publishers. We want to see an ecosystem in which every site can rise to the cleanliness standard of the DCN publishers detailed in this report. At the same time, our members must continue to be diligent as fraud is an evolving problem and trust is earned each and every day.”
- DCN publishers see less bot traffic overall (3 percent) compared to other advertising campaigns deployed across a broader variety of websites (11 percent).
- Buying direct from these premium publishers would have the effect of achieving the same low bot rates as the top 5.6 percent of ANA 2014 participants, with no additional implementation of policies or procedures on the part of advertisers.
- An advertisement’s viewability and whether the visitor was human or bot are largely unrelated. Bot viewability almost perfectly mirrored human viewability.
According to Michael Tiffany, CEO of White Ops, “Direct buys to premium publishers who demonstrate the commitment to maintain low bot rates and implement continuous fraud monitoring solutions, such as this group of DCN publishers, can consistently yield human audience levels approaching 97 percent.”
- Maintained visibility and control over their inventory;
- Limited the use of retargeting (inverse retargeting); and
This joibots on viewability and human traffic at premium publishers’ sites as compared to the advertising on a broader range of digital advertising venues.

About the Loco file importers
If you have files holding existing translations, you can import them into your Loco project in two ways:
Dashboard import
From your main dashboard click the :upload icon: to access the import wizard for any one of your projects. This is the recommended way to import files because it provides visual upload progress and provides some additional configuration options.
Either drag a file from your desktop into the dotted area, or click it to open a standard "Browse" dialogue. Loco supports these file formats, but you can select any file at this point. Loco will try to make sense of whatever it is.
2. Confirm format
Loco will guess the format of your file according to its extension, but you can select it manually here if you're using a file extension we don't know about. The list of supported file formats is constantly growing, but if you don't see what you need, please tell us.
3. Select languages
- If your file maps one language to another, select both the source and target languages so Loco knows what to extract.
- If your file maps a generic identifier to a language, select Asset IDs from the source dropdown, and the language from the target dropdown.
Some file formats are more complex than others and there are many different cases. Read more on this topic to better understand how the options apply to your type of file.
For your first import into an empty project you can leave these settings alone. If your project already contains translations, these options provide more control over how your file is merged with existing content. Read more on this topic
Posting files to the API requires some technical knowledge.
If your file contains many hundreds of strings, it's strongly recommended to select the "
async" option and check progress.
When sending very large files synchronously there is a risk of connection time-outs. The asynchronous option will always respond immediately.
Free account limits
When importing large files you might use up your free account quotas more quickly than during manual editing. Import operations will still complete after quotas are exceeded because existing translations can always be modified, even when you don't have room for any new ones.
If you run into problems, check the documentation for your specific file format in the links below, and also check these common import problems.

I question every move and mark I make.
But, I also know that I can change my reality by changing my attitude.
For the last 80-plus weeks I have been recording a "Dangerous Idea" video every week on my channel at Patreon.
These come from my own efforts to untangle my daily creative struggle— and in the process help you find your own way.
You can look up James Victore's work online.
I love the playfulness of his work. And the humour.
It's punky to me. Rebellious and personal.
I intend to read and learn a lot more about James.
James seems to acknowledge that this is a 'thing'.
Rather than a weakness or a disease or an immovable barrier.
I never actually struggle to be creative.
But I struggle to work out what's good and bad, valuable or not valuable, relevant or irrelevant.
I struggle to prioritise creatively.
And I am grateful that he's had the authenticity and the honesty to talk about his struggle.
As with all such actions, and I really should have learned this by now, when one person talks openly about their struggle – it makes it so much easier for people to talk about theirs.
For me, being creative is a slightly angry experience. It's not livid, righteous fury, more a mild but insistent irritation.
The challenge I'm trying to overcome, the issue I'm trying to resolve or the elusive spark of inspiration I'm trying to ignite roll around my cerebra like a piece of grit in an oyster. Sometimes the grit just gets spat out, very occasionally it turns into a pearl.
Thanks for the pointer to James. I love his illustrations. I'll explore some more.

A contract is a legal agreement your business makes with another for the exchange of items or performance of services. When the other party to that agreement is not sticking to it, you and your business may suffer severe losses.
A contract breach occurs when one party to an agreement does not perform as indicated in the document. Several things need to happen before Ohio law considers it a breach.
What do you need to prove in a contract breach?
If you have a contract and feel the other party violates the terms, either by failing to follow through or by not performing up to the standards, you may have remedies, including a lawsuit. However, you need to ensure that this situation has the elements required for the court to consider it a breach.
The only way a court will move and place sanctions against a breaching party is if the contract is legally binding. A valid contract must conform to the standards set under Ohio law.
You must show the court that you upheld your side of the agreement. If you did not, the court may rule that you caused the breach to occur.
You should prove that the breaching party did not do as the contract intends. Documentation such as communication between you and the other company may prove beneficial when doing this.
The court wants to know how the breach in performance affected your bottom line. This goes beyond a minor inconvenience to tangible financial impacts.
A contract breach may prove financially devastating if you do not take action. It helps for guidance.

A 1960s/70s Italian brass cushion mirror
Height: 137cm (53.9")
A stylish and impressive 1960s/70s Italian brass framed cushion mirror signed Nova. This unusual mirror is of high quality craftsmanship with brass mounted mouldings and bevelled glass borders. Some small distress to areas of glass border, see additional images.


"We all came over here for a practice round on Sunday," noted Hingham coach Dan Clune. "And we had everybody end up shooting mid-to-high-70s. That's when we began to think we had a real shot at taking this thing. The only strategy we wanted to stress was to play within yourself, and play to your own individual strengths."
"All of these guys deserve equal credit for this victory, because our top six players are all just about the same," said Clune, who called Bevins a "secret weapon" heading into states. "Any one of them can take the top spot on any given day, and they are very consistent."
"It's our third year here so we're pretty familiar with Easton Country Club," Parnell said. "It is a wide-open course, and if anything the winds really seemed to help us on the par-4s."
"The wind really picked up after noontime," noted Miller. "It was really swirling around and tricky, but nothing we couldn't handle. Aside from that, this is a pretty fun course and we enjoyed playing it."
"Even though this is an individual sport, and we play individually, we come here with team goals in mind," Hamilton said. "This is a great team victory, because of our depth, and everybody is a part of it. Having so many good players helps all of us, because we push each other every single day."


"But you see [Kristoffer] Ajer getting back to his best form, getting close to people, whereas some of the goals we've seen…
"That's what happens to footballers. We're normal people, but sometimes you have a spell where you're not doing anything right, you're not doing the things you should be doing, the awareness, looking around you, not seeing players running off your back because you're concentrating on other things."
The manager is adopting a single-minded approach when it comes to the title race, telling the Scottish Daily Record: "There is no point thinking about Dundee United or Rangers in the new year."


NPR.org » Gross-Out Gags AND Life Lessons In 'Wimpy Kid'
Happy summer to all our Backseat Book Club readers!
KINNEY: Greg's (foreign language spoken), which means Greg's journal, I'm surrounded by idiots, which I think is a funnier title than my own title. But I said, why can't we just call it "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" like we call it in the U.S.?


C go with his 11 points, Andrei Kirilenko had 10 points and 4 rebounds, and Deron Williams had 12 points with 9 assists as well as 5 rebounds. The Jazz finally played good at home as they pushed their lead up to as many as 25, they kept the Kings in check for the most part. Tyreke Evans had a terrible night, Demarcus Cousins was really the only highly productive Sacramento player as he finished 1 rebound short of a double double (18 points and 9 rebounds). Deron Williams is in somewhat of a shooting funk, he is only 19 of 54 in his last 4 games. That is not great news with a game against New Orleans on the horizon, the Jazz will need Williams to be at his best for Wednesday’s battle. The Jazz are now 10-5, they remain in 2nd place in the division due to the Thunder’s win last night. The Hornets are 11-1 at this exact moment, they are up 93-89 over the Clippers with 1:51 left in the game. Either way a win against the Hornets will be very gratifying for the Jazz, who do you think will come out on top?? Who will win the PG battle between Chris Paul and Deron Williams??.

I was raised in the Appalachian Mountains and never appreciated the history behind the culture and music till years later. As a kid, I just wanted to get away from the poverty and people who didn't see "beyond". As an adult, I long for the sounds and tastes, the simplicity of those who settled in the mountains and the life they lived from the land. As a teen, I started sailing and love the sea and the places a small sailboat can transport me to. But I always come "home" to the mountains - and hightail it back to Florida before winter!
That is not the point of those Hitler photos.
Why is telling the truth about religion rude? There are a lot of people who are kind of on the fence when it comes to religion or politics. I debate fundamentalists and right wingnuts so that these more impartial people can see that I have very good arguments and evidence on my side and the people I debate do not. I don't have to prove anything. When I post the claim that the Passover Event is a complete fiction and the Egyptians know nothing of it or the Hebrews ever even being in Egypt, people can easily check this out for themselves and find out it's true. The fundies won't because they're afraid of the truth but others are seeking the truth about things and when they find it they dump their religion like a hot potato. People like you who think they already have the truth have stopped looking for it.

paraffinized. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) images of 4096 spectra were collected in transmission mode using a FPA-based FTIR imaging system. They were pre-processed and analysed by principal component and K-mean cluster analyses. RESULTS: At 1654 cm−1 and 1234 cm−1 , the intensity of absorption in the colonies is significantly higher than in Matrigel. It can be also noted, on the one hand, that there is a spectral heterogeneity in the intracolonial distribution of the absorbances at 1654, 1644, 1640 and 1634 cm−1 (Amide I range) possibly due to changes in protein secondary structures. On the other hand, we observe that Matrigel close to MCF-7 colonies appears altered with respect to more distant Matrigel matrix. CONCLUSIONS: FTIR imaging allowed us to highlight changes in the chemical content in MCF-7 colonies and their direct vicinity in Matrigel-embedded 3D cultures.

The membrastudied the influence of the lipid environment on the photocycle of the membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin (BR) with time-resolved step-scan FTIR spectroscopy. Proton transfer dynamics was monitored with microsecond time resolution for BR embedded in the native purple membrane as well as reconstituted into DOPC liposomes. We observed altered protonation dynamics of the Schiff base and the primary proton acceptor Asp85, revealing a faster rise as well as decay of the M state for BR surrounded by DOPC lipids. The purple membrane consists of a lipid

Background: Red blood cells (RBC) are obtained by non-invasive methods and widely used for diagnostic tests of health status. Hyperspectral Dark Field Microscopy (HDFM) is a promising technique for nanoscale bio imaging and spectral analysis without additional sample preparation. Objective: Develop a protocol for human RBC characterization by HDFM, checking the feasibility of a reference spectral library that can image and afford a new comprehensive descriptor of RBC status. Method: A step-by-step protocol for HDFM measurement of human RBC was for the first time established using 5 µl of EDTA-treated whole blood from healthy adults (n =
…30 ). Hyperspectral characteristics of solutions/suspensions at biological concentrations of phospholipids, hemoglobin, spectrin, cholesterol and protoporphyrin IX, as the most relevant RBC components, were also determined. Results: A library made of 8 end-member spectra and classification of their spectral distribution carried out by Single Angle Mapper (SAM) were determined, furnishing a comprehensive mapping and descriptor of healthy human RBC. The spectra of single components allowed some of the RBC spectral bands to be attributed. Conclusions: This work reports for the first time the hyperspectral optical imaging of the human RBC by a library made of 8 scattering spectra, whose spectral signatures are compared with those of the main RBC molecular components. The percent distribution of the spectral end-members was also achieved, thus giving for the first time the HDFM mapping of human healthy RBCs. The protocol developed herein allows the clinical potential of hyperspectral imaging to be developed for the use of RBC mapping in health and disease.

BACKGROUND: In IR difference spectroscopy of proteins and biological systems, as in many other biophysical techniques, experiments at different hydration levels, and after H/D or H2 16 O/H2 18 O exchange are particularly important, for band assignment and for mechanistic studies. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the kinetics, the effectiveness and the feasibility of an isopiestic approach for controlled hydration and isotopic exchange on bacterial photosynthetic reaction centers as a model for membrane proteins. METHODS: Mid-Infrared and Near Infrared spectroscopy experiments at different times and kinetic data treatment. RESULTS: Equilibria for hydration/dehydration, and for isotopic exchange are

BACKGROUND: Metal ions are implicated in protein aggregation processes of several neurodegenerative pathologies, where the protein deposition occurs, and in the biotechnology field like the food technology where many processes in food manufacturing are based on thermal treatments. OBJECTIVE: The influence of Cu2+ or Zn2+ ions on the thermal aggregation process of Bovine β -lactoglobulin (BLG) and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), two protein models, was studied with the aim of delineating the role of these ions in the protein aggregation kinetics and to clarify the related molecular mechanisms. METHODS: The protein structure changes were
…monitored by Raman spectroscopy, whereas the aggregate growth was followed by Dynamic Light Scattering measurements. RESULTS: Both metal ions are able to favour the BLG aggregation, whereas only Zn2+ ions have a promoter effect on the thermal aggregation of BSA. The reason of this different behaviour is that the BLG aggregation evolution is manly affected by the redistribution of charges, whereas that of BSA by the metal coordination binding which depends on metal. CONCLUSIONS: Raman spectroscopy, combined with dynamic light scattering experiments, was very useful

– She closes the door when she goes to the bathroom!
– They put K’s suitcase in the cellar because it took too much space!
Only good news: K.’s now “working from home” (home?!?) so Mom has more time for blogging now. Which is only fair because we’ve lot’s of horror stories to tell about our ordeal.

Ever since I've updated from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4, I love how many of the big text input blocks can be resized. Adding comments doesn't have to feel so cramped and editor windows could be widened a bit more if necessary (it could already be resized vertically). I know Chrome has this too, don't know about other browsers.
Unfortunately, everything else that which could be viewed easier if only they could be bigger, have a fixed size. Sometimes it's easier to read large blocks (even if wordwrapped) if I can view them in a wider view. Blocks that have very wide content which ends up having horizontal scrollbars can be annoying to read through. Or maybe, you're just not interested in seeing the block at all and want to resize it down so you can no longer see the contents. It can be a lifesaver reading super detailed questions or answers that have the obligatory large blocks of content that gets in the way.

Would it be technically possible to make blocks such as these resizable too in the same way?
If so, can it be done?
If not, don't worry about it.
That way posts with wide blocks can be made wider for those with browsers that support it. If you guys decide to go a step further and make it work for all browsers, even better.

For examples, I know I've seen a good amount of long answers that has large blocks of code though I can't find them now at the moment. But I do have some questions and answers that have some somewhat large blocks of content. – Jeff Mercado May 21 '11 at 12:32
As I understand it, you're talking about making the content of posts expandable, in addition to the text entry fields that are automatically resizable using magic built into your browser (FF 4, Chrome, Safari,...).
If that's indeed the case, I disagree. While this feature might be helpful for some people, I would very much prefer that people learn to format their posts so that code blocks do not scroll.
Remember that code blocks are the only sections that can possibly be displayed with horizontal scrollbars. Regular body text and blockquotes are automatically word-wrapped.
I try to be attentive to this in my own answers, and I frequently edit other peoples' answers to split up particularly long lines because I think this facilitates readability for all browsers and all users. It's fairly well-known that it's easier to read blocks of text with smaller horizontal widths. That's why word wrapping is enabled by default, and why the content blocks have a fixed width significantly smaller than the entire size of the page. Code is, of course, no exception to this rule.
And code blocks posted on Stack Overflow should be as short as possible anyway! I don't want any feature that might encourage people to post huge walls of poorly-formatted code.
If you'd prefer to see this feature enabled when browsing the site, you might consider implementing it client-side using this Greasemonkey script.
No not the whole entire post, just blocks that are specifically displayed differently in the post. The blocks. (I don't know what else to call them) – Jeff Mercado May 21 '11 at 10:58
@Jeff: Code blocks are the only sections that can have horizontal scrollbars applied to them. Blockquote sections automatically word-wrap. – Cody Gray May 21 '11 at 11:00
p.s., You do have a point about the encouragement, definitely don't want that. But ideally, this would only apply when reading the questions, not composing them. – Jeff Mercado May 21 '11 at 11:27
@Jeff: If the question is vaguely readable after it gets posted, then I think this this still encourages the bad behavior. – Cody Gray May 21 '11 at 11:28
we do make code block fonts slightly smaller on codegolf.stackexchange.com and codereview.stackexchange.com because we expect more code to be posted there – Jeff Atwood May 21 '11 at 11:41
I posted a similar question plus some suggestions here.
The Greasemonkey script mentioned in the other answer does not exist anymore.
