The findings loosely corroborate the conclusions of a reportg.ument will be published this month.
It reportedly shows that the US government's 2004 funding lead in nanotechnology was only slightly ahead of China, Europe and Japan: while the US government spent US$1 billion on nanotechnology research the other three each spent about US$900 million.
Leydesdorff and co-author Ping Zhou measured the contribution of Chinese researchers to global research in nanotechnology by assessing the number of papers they published in specialist journals.
They first looked at three core nanotechnology journals: Nanotechnology, Journals of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, and Nano Letters.
The authors found that in 2004, Chinese authors contributed ten per cent of papers to these journals, placing them second behind US researchers. With nearly 50 per cent of papers, however, the United States was a clear leader.
"This is an excellent study showing that China — and South Korea — have emerged as international players on the scientific scene," says Ronald Rousseau, a researcher at the Katholieke Hogeschool Brugge-Oostende in Ostend, Belgium.
Along with Jin Bihui of the Library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Rousseau has also been investigating China's position in global research.
He notes that while Leydesdorff's findings confirm his own, the two teams came to different conclusions regarding the future of Chinese research.
While optimistic about China's future, Rousseau told SciDev.Net that Chinese research papers on nanotechnology are still cited less frequently by other scientists than papers from industrialised countries.
"As citations are usually considered to be a measure for visibility, this amounts to the same thing we are saying — namely, that the ratio of citations over publications must increase in order for China to become a major player on the scientific scene," he adds.
Zhou and Leydesdorff also looked at 115 other journals related to nanotechnology. With just under ten per cent of publications, China placed fourth in this category, behind the United States (one-third of publications), Japan (14 per cent) and Germany (ten per cent).
However, their analysis indicates that while the number of publicclining slightly, China and South Korea have been gradually increasing their contributions since 1998.
This does not correspond to PCAST's conclusions. Using different indicators, the group found that US nanotech publications have been steadily increasing since 1991.

Will my house sell as fast due to Coronavirus?
The average asking price in the UK was £245,000 before lockdown, it's since risen to £280,000. This is largely due to the perception among estate agents that there is pent up demand for viewings and therefore increased demand. However, purchasers are having none of it!
I'll explain why. Sellers only reduce their price substantially if they're forced to sell, if they're unemployed and can't afford their mortgage, or are hard up and struggling with debt. As long as the furlough scheme is running, people are remaining employed, with less opportunity to spend their money, some are actually managing to save and feel wealthier than normal!


Manna latest: New major investor on-board and drone delivery trials in mainland Europe set for 2021
On the back of Manna’s breakthrough with partnering supermarket giant, Tesco, for trial drone deliveries in Ireland, Greenman Investments, a Dublin-based property investment firm and asset manager, has made its first foray into the tech sector by backing the Irish drone company, reports irishtimes.com. Existing investors include Dynamo Ventures, Elkstone and Frontline Ventures who all participated in the most recent investment round, the value of which has not been disclosed.
As part of the deal, Greenman is to partner with Manna via its OPEN real estate fund to put together a pilot program offering delivery services next year, in what will be the first trial of Manna’s technology in mainland Europe. Greenman, which has EU850 million of assets under management, said it intends to make further investments in tech businesses that are operating in the food retail space.
Ronayne O’Mahony, director of expansion at Greenman, said, “This is an exciting investment particularly as it is our first in the technology space. We believe that tech companies and platforms such as Manna future grocery delivery model y begin this journey.”
CEO and Founder of Manna, Bobby Healy, presently has the midas touch given the drone delivery company goes from strength to strength. The latest trials with Tesco delivering groceries to residents in Oranmore, Co Galway, began this week.

He told the Irish Times, “Getting Greenman on-board is a great endorsement for our European plans and I am delighted to have the company join us as a backer.”
The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has yet to give the go-ahead for Manna to launch its delivery services widely around Ireland, but the company is in talks with regulators and remains optimistic.

To commemorate the beginning of Paris Hilton’s 23-day prison sentence, GSN.com unveiled The Prison Life: Paris, an online game that gives players a sneak peek at the heiress’ potential new job behind bars.
In making orange the new pink, GSN’s latest online gameGame players position Hilton between levers that stamp blank California vanity license plates such as PRTYGRL, ABUVLAW, DUI4ME, DRV2FST and PRVTCEL as they pass on a conveyor belt.
A matronly guard stands watch as the Hilton heiress stamps her way through each level with more and more plates, increased conveyor-belt speed and additional levers for added difficulty. Players must perfectly align the plates and be careful not to squish her designer dog, Clinkerbell. Too many rejected plates or flattened pooches and it’s lights out for poor Paris.
The Prison Life: Paris is part of GSN.com’ These games plus many more are available to play and share on GSN.com.r and, in January, she pleaded no contest er license suspended.
In February, she was then caught driving with the suspended license after police found her exceeding the speed limit with her headlights out at night. On May 4, a traffic court ruled that offense violated her parole and she was sentenced to a jail term.

It was just over three years ago that my mom and I started putting together a collection of articles that would mark the beginning of Boomer & Echo. We didn't have a clue about blogging or running a website (and still don't!
We started off at a torrid pace, publishing articles five times a week, until leveling off sometime in 2011 at the more familiar three posts a week. Since then we've brought along a couple of excellent contributors in Andrew Martin from She Thinks I'm Cheap and Sandi Martin from Spring Personal Finance (no relation?
With nearly 2 million page views and 8,000+ subscribers, the blog has more than exceeded our expectations. It's been a remarkable journey!
2.2.'s Canadian Student – My University Money authors' Kyle Prevost and Justin Bouchard help students navigate through the post-secondary landscape and emerge unscathed (and debt free!
We want to hear what kind of money topics you'd like us to write about over the next year. More personal stories from us, more retirement stories from your fellow readers?Frugal hacks, investment tips, case studies?
Congrats on 3 years strong!I have been reading for just about a year now and enjoy your personal stories on daily finances, your financial life lessons and daily money saving tips. Best of luck in the next 3 years!
Thank you for your posts. Just keep writing in the sensible, plain english fashion you have been, and I'll continue to be a loyal reader!
Congrats on the 3 years Rob!Feels like I have known you for way longer than that!
I'd like to invest in Index funds but am not sure exactly how to go about it. I'd like to read of someone's step by step experiences. Going it alone doesn't always have a happy ending does it?
Congrats. on your 3 years. I enjoy your range of articles. I'd like to see some ideas on C.P.P. payments, if it is wise to start collecting early ?
I like the variety of topics you choose and enjoy the writing style…..easy to read and interesting. As a junior senior, I am interested in what to do in retirement……
Three years is a great milestone – congratulations!
Congratulations on your three year anniversary. I just retired less than a month ago. I would be interested in an article about how other people segue into retirement. How do you stop feeling like it is "Saturday", or that you are on "holidays". How do you start living the next chapters of your life?
I would like to read more articles on managing retirement in a tough economy. I am well past the "Freedom 55" and am still trying to make a living to be able to afford a moderate life style and hopefully someday enjoy "Freedom 75"
Congratulations on your sucessful 3 year run!
congratulations to you both on 3 great years!
Yours is one of the few blogs I read on a regular basis…good stuff !
Congrats…..great articles…
I like your down to earth style of writing that doesn't talk over my head; your articles trigger me to find more information on topics that interest me and introduce me to other great bloggers–thanks!
We don't have a ton of money but we are moving into real estate investing and will be taking equity it earns to then invest somewhere…but where?Retirement is only 25 years away…
Congratulations on your milestone!My mondays, wednesdays and fridays are not the same without your blog!
Would like to read more on the progress of your retirement plans and savings and RESPs for children!
I would really like more info on how to find tax savings for self-employed individuals. There seem to be plenty of articles for people who aren't self-employed, however, in this day and age it is seemingly more difficult to find employment. How can you help this group?
Happy Anniversary!Thanks for all the great articles. I look forward to reading them every morning. For me, I'd like more articles for small incorporated business owners who need help planning for a retirement. For example, knowing that we need to make up the amount a company pension plan would have provided us, how much do we need to save in the company?
Thanks Tom, I am familiar with this site and maximize the amount we can deposit every ye at. I am interested in strategies to maximize the RDSP's in long term investments. Also am looking at focusing our TFSA's to invest eventually for this child, some RRSp's within Family trust. Also now looking at how to invest his disability when he receives it at 18. Whew…
Congrats on the anniversary, I really enjoy your posts!
I have just started a small business and any info regarding best business credit cards, business tax savings and financial info that might help would be appreciated!
Congrats and Happy Anniversary….!
More stories from retired people…?
Happy anniversary!LOVE your blog, keep up the GREAT work!Some great topics that I am recommending is how much needs to be saved for retirement, what do I do with my money when I retire (i.e. put it into an annuity) – what are the tax impacts, how do I ensure that I am not leaving a big tax bill for my dependents?Which order should I spend my retirement savings (TFSA first vs. RRSP vs. other cash savings)?
Great work, i been reading your post since long time and i really like. Its not that frequent. All types of topics are covered in the blog, you can include other cost saving example in your blog as well!
I have read much on the subject but remain undecided…A friend and colleague just passed away today !at 50 yrs old…so it puts the issue back on the table for me again. I have a one year window to decide!
I'd love to hear more from Robb about his saving practices with a young family, since we're in a similar place. My husband and I also both belong to a DB pension plan, so more info on best methods of saving in addition to the DB. Thanks and love the blog!
Three years is a milestone. Congratulations!I enjoy your personal stories. Anything about investing and frugal hacks is great, too. Wishing you another wonderful year!
Congrats on 3 years!I would like to here more strategy advice on whether to hold investments for longer term to acquire market gains (dividend payouts, etc) and use new funds to continually invest in other markets or to set a profit gain number (target profit gain that says you sell when you hit this) in your current investments and sell them when you hit this number then reinvest in another market/stock?
I am 62 and my husband is 64. I am always especially drawn to the early retiree stories and frugal living ideas. We won't be rolling in bucks$$ but we certainly try to manage our money in a sensible way while we continue to work and try to enjoy life as well!
Congrats on your three year anniversary!
Congratulations on your 3 Years!
Great stuff. Keep up the good work. I am interested in reading about setting up DRIPS and also online investing…
We currently have three children in university. Are there books, resources for them to help them manage their money successfully?Are there resources to aid parents trying to help?A great three years!Thanks again!
Congrats on 3 years!Great work!
4. Housing – who's going to buy all the monster homes when Boomers downsize?
Congrats on your 3 year anniversary!I would like to see you on FB so I could spread the word!
I would also like if you could give more working examples of your topics. For example everyone always talk about planning for the future and creating a financial plan. What the heck does that mean?Does it mean that if you want X amount at the end you need to invest in things that would give you a certain percentage in dividends?I don't know that's why i'm asking!
I was reading through the posts here. Looks like you need some forums so people can just chat about the different topics. You can just be the facilitator!
Congratulations on the milestone!I have thoroughly enjoyed the website since I first stumbled upon it almost a year ago. The most helpful article early on was the credit card rewards comparison, and would love to see that as a constantly-updated article. I would also think hearing more about typical do's and don'ts and their risk vs. reward would be great. I really enjoy everything you do and have done in the past. Keep it up!
Congrats on celebrating 3 years of blogging. I've only discovered this about 6 months ago and often provide some of your articles to my clients as a supplement. They're now avid readers of your blog!
I would like to know what happens when you make your final mortgage payment, are there fees involved, is there any way to avoid those fees?Our last payment will be in 15 months, at that time, what do I do with all this extra money I'm going to have so it doesn't get eaten up by lifestyle inflation?
I just recently found your blog, and love it for the variety of topics!Here are some suggestions for more: successful transitions to retirement – what does that look like?For those of us without pensions, how much should we be investing in non registered investments to help us with large purchases in retirement?When we get to retirement, how does the money we've invested start coming out – how much does the government dictate vs the level of flexibility we have over our RRIFs?I often wonder if we take all the savings advice to heart and successfully save all our working lives, how hard will it be to transition to retirement where you no longer save – will we be bad at spending money at all after 30+ years of saving?
I am interested in retirement topics. I am a nurse, retiring eventually, with a pension and I find there is generally a culture of silence from retired nurses!
Why a culture of silence, I wonder?That's interesting. Is it be use it is historically sort of a women's profession and also historically women didn't really take ownership of their finances?

"When life gives you a lemon, make lemonade" translates into: "When the spring day is chilly and grey, sit inside and write fun words and drink hot chocolate!" Oh, wouldn't that work every time?
I love words. Words can do so much. Words are a gift we should protect and treat with respect and the utmost care.
Yesterday I heard about someone who said: "I don't want you to tell me you love me, I want you to spend time with me." I must say I would prefer both. Someone who spends time with me AND says I love you! We all thrive on good words, encouraging and loving words, and constructive guidance.
Life is too short to spend on bad words. Vocabularies should be carefully designed to bring us through life as persons who care. Today's water color is called "Hot Air balloons at Lindesnes Lighthouse".
"Don't need that!"

Get ready for orange and pumpkins and leaves and boots and sweaters. My favorite season of the year! I know it’s not technically fall yet but it’s inching closer and closer. I’m sharing a super delicious recipe for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins. And shhhhhh…. they have a secret ingredient.
See in our house, Josh has made spaghetti on Sundays for a long time. Each week he adds a secret ingredient for everyone to guess. We are opposite when it comes to the kitchen. I follow recipes. He.. does not. He once made scrambled eggs and added vanilla extract. YES.HE.DID. For the record, in case you were thinking of trying it – don’t. It’s as good as it sounds. It’s turned into an interesting game each week as he’s added things like orange juice, tapatillo sauce and brown sugar. He’s really ….. creative.
These amazing Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins have a secret ingredient that make them moist and delicious -plus, they’re super easy to make!
Beat softened butter and 1 c sugar on high speed for 1 minute until well combined.
Add mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, pumpkin pureeUse butter or spray in muffin tin.
This recipe is a lightened up version of traditional pumpkin muffins. While it still has sugar and flour, you won’t feel quite as guilty because of the greek yogurt and bananas. At least I don’t.
My family loved them. They scarfed them down and asked for me to make blueberry muffins next. In due time.
These sound great, but I don’t have any Greek yogurt on hand. Whst could I substitute? Applesauce? Thanks.
Oh these sound so tasty!! I just love muffins!
That’s awesome! They look so moist!
I love that you added Greek Yogurt! Can’t wait to try out this recipe!

 Problem-Oriented Introduction via Matrix Groups
MAA TextBooks
Lie groups play suchthat all mathematics students should be aware of them. From computer graphics to quantum theory, from differential equations to number theory, Lie groups and algebras are everywhere. Nevertheless, most mathematics undergraduates have never heard of them.
Of course, the reason for this is that even the definition of a Lie group (i.e., a differentiable manifold which is also a group and whose group operations are smooth functions) seems to require mhave. In a famous article on “Very Basic Lie Theory” (American Mathematical Monthly, 1983), Roger Howe argued that the absence of the theory of Lie groups from most undergraduate programs was both scandalous and unnecessary. Since then, several books attempting to respond to Howe’s challenge have appeared. Harriet Pollatsek’s Lie Groups is her entry in this list.
Howe’s article, and many of the books that it inspired, still laid a heavy emphasis on the underlying topology and analysis, with the result that only advanced undergraduates (in fact, probably only rather strong advanced undergraduates) could really understand the material. Pollatsek is not satisfied with that approach. At Smith College, she has been teaching Lie Groups to sophomores, using a problem-driven approach that only assumes From that course was born this book.
Lie Groups is fundamentally a problem book: each chapter presents a sequence of problems that students should solve. In each chapter, the main sections are followed by a summary section called “Putting the pieces together.” Finally, a section called “A broader view” tries to give a wider context to the material in that chapter. Everything important is done through problems. Thus, this is a book to be used, not a book to be read.
I must admit that I find teaching this material to sophomore mathematics majors to be a little bit too much of a reach. Instead, I used the book in a seminar course that followed our standard one-semester introduction to abstract algebra. In the class were six seniors, three juniors, and (yes!) a sophomore; all had taken algebra, either in the previous semester or a year before. Most, but not all, had taken other advanced courses as well, including Real Analysis. My students were assigned problems to solve and present in class, and we developed the theory in that way. Every once in a while, I would step in and give a broader view.
Did it work? Yes, it mostly did, though in the process I discovered that some aspects have to be tweaked a little bit. Because Pollatsek doesn’t want to assume any algebra background, there are lots of “check that SL(2,R) is a group” problems — more than I or my students wanted. Because she doesn’t want to assume much knowledge of topology, she does not have the chance to make much of connectedness, compactness, covering spaces, and (most significant in this context) simple connectedness. This seems like an opportunity lost.
Some choices I just don’t understand. Why, for example, is there a section on differential equations? It seems totally unrelated to the rest of the book. Why make such a meal of continuity versus differentiability in the definition of one-parameter subgroups? In this setting, one might as well just state that all one-parameter subgroups are differentiable and be done with it. Why not do more with the fact that SU(2) is a three-sphere? (My students were fascinated.) Why work only with the one-dimensional Lorenz group? Why not have more pictures? After all, it’s easy to draw pictures of the one-dimensional Lie groups.
In many of the problems, there is more handholding than I wanted my students to have; at some points, this included “hints” that led towards unnecessarily messy ways of doing things. Pollatsek clearly thinks that students at this level prefer computation to theory. She is probably right, but I would rather not indulge that preference.
Some issues had to do with the fact that my students knew some things that her students didn’t (what a group is, what a normal subgroup is) but did not have a sure grasp of some things that her students clearly do have well under control (the example that stands out in my mind is the Jacobian matrix of a differentiable map). The bibliography is also a little strange, too selective for my taste. This proved significant towards the end, when my students were working on term papers and all of them wanted the same books… which were not in our library.
There is no representation theory at all. The adjoint representation is described, but not put into any sort of context. With no representation theory, one cannot do much more than say “the physicists use this a lot,” without showing how or why. That seems like a pity.
Pollatsek’s book faces stiff competition. Perhaps the closest competitor is John Stillwell’s Naïve Lie Theory, a beautiful book aimed at upper-level undergraduates that is very much in the same spirit. Kristopher Tapp’s Matrix Groups for Undergraduates is also in a similar spirit. The main difference, of course, is that Stillwell and Tapp have written textbooks, while Pollatsek gives us a problem book. Using it requires buy-in: you need to want to teach in this way, and you will need to convince your students that the work is worth doing. If that applies to you, give this book a te’ll be doing the Lie groups thing again soon.

Four Injured After Elevator Falls in Gold Coast Parking Garage
By Alex Parker and Kyla Gardner | May 17, 2013 3:47pm | Updated on May 17, 2013 9:22pm
Elevevator Fall
CHICAGO — Four people were injured Friday when an elevator fell five stories in a Gold Coast parking garage.
Fire officials said the occupied elevator fell from the 15th floor to the 10th floor at 60 E. Delaware Place.
Maureen Downs, 25, walked up to find four ambulances, two fire trucks and "a ton" of police cars outside the building where she works in human resources.
Downs saw two women and one man, who all looked to be middle-aged, carried into ambulances on stretchers.
Four people suffered nonlife-threatening injuries, fire officials said. Ttwo were taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Center, all in stable condition.
The 15th floor of the building houses 900 North Michigan Surgical Center, and the 10th floor accesses a level of a parking garage.
Fire officials called the incident an "elevator malfunction." Building management declined to comment.
A Chicago Fire Department official on the scene said such incidents are rare.
"I'm not worried about riding the elevator. We've never had a problem with it," said a man who works in the building's facilities maintenance department and declined to give his name. "They do maintenance on it once a month."
The elevator that fell appeared to be out of service Friday night. Notices posted in the other three cars indicated they had last been inspected in July 2012.
But the Mt. Greenwood resident said the incident would be far from her mind by Monday, as she rides the elevator four to five times a day.
The resident, who asked only to be identified as David, said he was in an elevator that fell two floors in a 28-story building in Miami. Though the elevator just "dipped," he said it was "a terrifying experience."


Fine Arts alumna Megan Mathie (CCAD 2006) spent her summer traveling the globe upon the Celebrity Cruise ship Solstice as a glassblower—cool gig right?
"I don't know a better way to say this, but cancer has made me feel my feelings really hard," Mathie said. "I can go from feeling deep worry to intense artistic stimulation to loneliness to pure peace and joy. I am so fortunate to have managed to find myself surrounded by kindness and love where I never expected it. Being able to take this job, this opportunity, has turned into so much more of a gift than I thought it would be, and a big part of that is the people I've gotten to know, Celebrity's president and CEO"

The thing is, Huang wasn't about to make his first appearance in the DCP. Try his fourth. The eighth grader from Katy, Texas, has become such a regular in the event—one of three four-time participants this year along with Vanessa Borovilos and Megha Ganne—you wonder if they might have given him his own locker.
Experience seemed to pay off, as Huang walked off as the Boys 14-15 division champion, the second time he's won at Augusta after taking the 7-9 title in 2014. "To do it again, it's pretty special," Huang said.
It's getting harder to remember the days before the youngsters took center stage the Sunday prior to the year's first major. There's a sense of belonging.
It's why the exchange that played out early Sunday morning seemed humorous and ho-hum all at the same time. There was Danny Willett, rolling a few balls on the putting green outside the clubhouse before getting in one last practice round on the closed-to-the-public course before patrons descend on Monday. Just as he was about to pull the trigger on a 10-footer, a purple golf ball suddenly scooted by his left foot. The 2016 Masters champion looked up to see 10 competitors in the Girls 7-9 getting in some last-minute prep before they competed on the 18th green. When he saw the culprit, he waved and smiled.
The encouraging part of the whole thing is that while the DCP is maturing, it has yet to get old. Whether playing in it for the first time or the fourth, the participants continue to experience a wow factor that's hard to describe but easy to spot in the expressions on their faces.
"It's better than my expectations," said Matthew Vital, an eighth grader from Bethlehem, Pa., who took the title in the Boys 12-13 division. Vital had tried for a few years to qualify for the national finals (along with his twin brother Michael), falling short every year.
There was a particular sentimentality to Sunday for one man with Augusta National ties. Toby Wilt, a long-time club member who voice is known to many who watch the Masters—he's the starter on the first tee—was an anxious observer on Sunday as his grandson, Hudson Wilt from Nashville, Tenn., competing in the Boys 12-13 division.
Li watches anxiously as she putts for victory in the Girls 10-11 division.
Indeed, when you've qualified last fall, you can't wait for April to arrive. But once that Sunday does, you wish time could stand still, if only for a few hours.
Of course, nothing says you can't earn your way back. Just ask Treed Huang.

While clothing and groceries were the most popular categories in 2020 during Black Friday, early indications are that electronics will overtake these categories in 2021, reports Simone Kakana, client strategy director at Ask Afrika. Clothing and shoes or accessories is the second category of interest to consumers this year and groceries is the third.
Kakana says that despite the tough economic times, 34% of consumers say they plan on spending between R2,001 and R5,000, while another 27% plan on spending between R5,001 and R10,000.
The most popular categories for online purchases, Kakana says, are clothing (63%), electronics (61%) and household appliances (50%).
“Consumers are looking for real bargains this Black Friday. This means the product needs to be on offer either at a significant discount or as specials that consumers would not usually find. Given that they are searching online prior to purchase, the price points and the discounted price need to be clearly visible,” advises Kakana.
Though the majority of consumers are planning to shop in-store on Black Friday, online shopping will not lag far behind, which means that preparation for both channels will be key.

London’s hea’Treharne is confident in the low-cost business model, which relies on technology to trim costs. In a note after The Gym Group’s latest trading update in January, analysts at Numis said structural growth opportunities for low-cost gym operators continue to be very promising.

Led by chief executive John Treharne, the gym operator is the second largest budget gym in the UK with 89 sites and 448,000 members as of December. The group has a plan to open a further 15 to 20 gyms per year to fill the gap in the market for low-cost gyms, a sector that is set to grow 20 per cent by 2020, according to research by Mintel.

What had not happened enough in this class was what often does happen in courses on psychopathology, namely that many students feel in themselves every illness and syndrome that is being discussed. Students should barely be able to leave the room after the lecture on depression, whereas they should fidget and worry all through the description of anxiety disorders, and even experience a loss of contact with reality in the classes on schizophrenia. The old saw about psychopathology courses is that you get everything you learn about. This is how it should be. This is what we want. In fact, if the students do not feel in themselves some of what is being described then they are keeping themselves too distant, too separate, too apart from the material, needing to hold on to the illusion that pathology is something outside of and different from themselves.
There is indeed no magical line dividing the "sick patient" and the "healthy clinician." Health and illness, be they physical or mental, exist along a slippery slope, a fluid continuum that must keep us all humble.
When one of our dear, trusted colleagues was hospitalized on the same psychiatric unit on which she had trained, we experienced with great humility that there is no "we" (the healthy therapist) and "them" (the sick patient), no illness that we could protect ourselves from through our "greater" knowledge and wisdom. Although in hindsight there had been clear signs of this colleague's bipolar illness, we had secretly believed (something of which we are not proud) that her capacity for psychological insight and mental health could make her immune to this illness. How wrong we were; how humble we have since become.
In the following chapters, we review five major psychopathological syndromes—the psychosetrauma—using the theories we studied in the first part of the book. With a biopsychosocial perspective, we explothe creation of these disorders, and discuss the ways in which the disorders themselves reflect the social contexts in which they emerge. We will refer to the DSM-IV-TR (2000), the diagnostic manual of psychiatre have chosen not to present these disorders exclusively according to its standardized nosology. We will include what we know of the coming changes in the DSM-V, scheduled to be published in 2013.
The DSM-IV-TR is deliberately atheoretical. It offers a set of criteria that define disorders in terms of symptom lists; it offers an empirical way of ensuring that diagnosis be made on the basis of observable and describable behavior rather than on the basis of psychological ideology. It does not posit any particular reason for a given psychiatric problem, nor does it prescribe any one method for treating it. While this manual allows clinicians of all disciplines and theoretical orientations to make diagnoses based on common criteria, the richness of the internal, subjective psychological experience of suffering and disharmony is forfeited by this classification system.
A DSM diagnosis is something like a snapshot. It is based on the symptom picture. Certain symptoms or combinations of symptoms add up to a certain diagnosis. Just as a snapshot can reveal that someone has black hair or blue eyes or is very thin or is smiling, so too the DSM-IV-TR can tell the clinician that someone who manifests signs of; has difficulty in controlling the worry; exhibits shakiness; and experiences difficulty sleeping, muscle aches, and fatigability (300.02, p. 476). A for safety,would result in a diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder (301.7, p. 706). That kind of a snapshot can be very detailed and can tell a great deal, yet by its very nature it is also limited, finite, and two-dimensional—all it gives is a flat picture. DSM-IV-TR is similar in that it looks at what can be seen, documented, and measured, but it does not attempt to explain how or why the symptoms or conditions came to be.
While it is important to know what the DSM-IV-TR does not have to offer, it is just as important to know what it does contribute to our understanding. When used thoughtfully and not simply as a reductionistic tool, it can help organize complex information in a way that deepens understanding of a complex symptom picture. It facilitates communication across disciplines, and at times it offers a snapshot of a problem in a way that can be very reassuring to a patient. A client who had been overwhelmed with fear when she developed episodes in which her heart raced, her palms became sweaty, and her breathing labored was enormously relieved to find a name in the DSM for this ailment. She was not going crazy or having a heart attack, as she had feared. She had developed a panic disorder.
In the second half of this book we want to take the reader inside the snapshot to meet the person. Quoting from the mission statement of the Smith College School for Social Work, where we teach: "Clinical social work appreciates and : its strengths, possibilities, resiliency, vulnerabilities, limitations, and tragedies." This underscores the importance, in the process of diagnosis, of looking not only at the illness but also at all the biopsychosociathe illness. Equally important to assess, in addition to the manifest symptoms a patient presents, are the person's talents and strengths. These are not mentioned enough in the DSM except in a minor way in Axis V. Even the DSM exhorts clinicians to be careful about language and never call a patient a "schizophrenic" or a "bipolar," but rather to say "an individual with schizophrenia," or "a person with bipolar disorder." And even this sensitive use of language is not enough for many patients. In her comprehensive and useful Luhrmann (2000) offers the following poignant quote from a patient: "When I talk to people, I have to say, 'I am a person with schizophrenia,' and I don't like that. I'm not 'with' anything. I have severe functional limitations when it comes to certain aspects of living. I'm not 'with' anything, I'm me" (p. 292).
Over the years, the authors of the DSM have made a concerted effort to broaden their classification system by making it multiaxial, meaning that they have tried to include more than simply the symptom picture of each diagnosis. Axes I and II cover the clinical disorders and personality disorders. Axis III asks clinicians to look at general medical conditions, such as , infections, metastatic disease, and so forth. Incultural, political, and economic factors are alluded to for the first time (!) in the history of the manual. Although by no means perfect, this was a huge step forward. The destructive force of social ills such as poverty and oppression are not described powerfully enough, but we are hopeful that with the passage of time Axis IV will become stronger in subsequent editions. Axis V (Global Assessment of Functioning) allows the clinician to look at the highest and lowest levels of both past and current functioning, emphasizing that no set of symptoms is fixed in time. Even though it is much more cumbersome and time consuming, it is essential to include all five axes in a thorough diagnosis.
Our goal in the following chapters is to demonstrate how a psychodynamic theoretical orientation can help us understand not just the symptoms of several disorders, but also the person with the symptoms, combined with that person's biology and the outside forces that have shaped her life. Using a biopsychosocial lens, we hope to illustrate how an application of the theories we have studied in the first section of this book deepens our view of the complexities of people's pain. From a biological perspective, we will explore how genetic and neurobiological factors can predispose and/or lead to the development of particular disorders. From a psychodynamic perspective, we will look at how drive theory, ego psychology, life cycle theory, attachment theory, object relations, trauma theory,

MR. PRESIDING JUSTICE DEMPSEY
Daniel Lofton was convicted in a jury trial of the murder of Catherine Hamb a4 and a maximum of 25 years. He appeals, allegingargument of the prosecutor was prejudicial.
Daniel Lofton was a married man with three children and at the time of the trial was 29 years of age. He had known Catherine Hamb a long time and had sexual relations with her for several years. He admits that on the night of the shooting he was in Catherine Hamb’s apartment and that he fired the gun which inflicted the fatal wound upon her. The conflict in the evidence concerns the shooting itself and the events directly preceding it. m. she heard a pistol fired.
Mrs. Thomas testified that she had spent the evening with the deceased and left her around 10:00 p. m. At *241about 10:45 Lofton came to her door. He told her that he had telephoned Catherine Hamb a half-hour earlier and that she said for him to come over, but she had not let him in when he called on her. He asked Mrs. Thomas if Catherine was at home and she replied that she had seen her earlier. He said: “[S]he may be with Will.” He said that he would go back and see if he could get in. Mrs. Thomas testified that while he was speaking to her he pulled something from his pocket. She could not identify it in the darkness, but she heard a clicking sound and saw him stick the object into his belt. .
After the shooting the police instituted a search for Lofton but were unable to locate him for more than a month. On May 29th he was arrested in the home of one Maggie Williamson, where he was found hiding in a bedroom closet on the second, floor. He first denied shooting Catherine Hamb but later admitted that he had shot her and that he had thrown the gun into Lake Michigan. He was taken to the lake and he showed the police the place where the gun had been thrown*242at the tavern-’“automatic revolver,”e “Will”’s. He admitted hiding in Maggie Williamson’s apartment *243’t’r’se’s2d 359, 197 NE2 499,173 NE 607.
*244 ’..’’l App2d 70, 208 NE2d 373; People v. Brown, 27 Ill2d 23, 187 NE2d 728; People v. Weber, 401 Ill 584, 83 NE’sm a lake front phone booth is unsupported and, since his testimony had been discredited in other respects, the jury might have attached little credence to his statement. At any rate, such a call, if made, would not be of much value in mitigating the inference of guilt that could be drawn from his flight and subsequent efforts to remain hidden, when taken alone,and he is placed in a position where his defense, that the shooting was accidental, must stand or fall on the weight and credibility to be attached to his own testimony. It is never necessary that the defend*245ant in a criminal action take the stand in his own behalf, but when he chooses so to do he must expect to be judged by the same standards of credibility used by the jury in assessing the merit of any other witness. He necessarily runs the risk of being disbelieved or discredited. It has been said that when a defendant undertakes to explain his presence at the scene of a crime while denying any participation in the crimeLane, 29 Ill2d 326, 194 NE2d 272; People v. Hansen, 28 Ill2d 322, 192 NE2d 359.
The jury found Lofton’s story unworthy of belief, and, therefore, he was left with no evidence to support a hypothesis of accident. The State’s evidence was strong and convincing and was sufficient to sustain the jury’s conclusionomplains that error was committed by the state’s attorney in his argument to the jury. The assistant state’s attorney who made the first of the two closing arguments was overzealous and mentioned four times theHe also made representations of fact not in evidence concerning the operation of an automatic pistol and suggested that those jurors who were familiar with firearms explain the operation to others. Neither argument was objected to when it was made. The defendant now objects that the first was inflammatory and the second prejudicial. His contention about the latter is that it furnished information outside the record from which the jury could infer that he was preparing his pistol for firing at the time Mrs. Thomas heard him make the clicking noise. It is his further contention that from this the jury could also infer that it was his intention to kill the deceased.
A court of review will not consider objections to argument which are made for the first time on appeal *246unless it appears that a defendant from receiving a fair trial. People v. Morgan, 20 Ill2d 437, 170 NE2d 529; People v. Moore, 9 Ill2d 224, 137 NE2d 246. While both arguments were improper, we do not think theLofton admitted his sexual relations with Catherine Hamb. This was part of the evidence and as such was subject to comment. While the assistant state’s attorney commented on the relationship too often, he also cautioned the jury that the question they were to decide was not the morality of either Daniel Lofton or Catherine Hamb (who was unmarried and had two children) but was whether Lofton was guilty of murder. The impropriety of his too frequent comments was mitigated by this admonition.
The evidence was not clear whether the gun used by the defendant was a revolver or an automatic. Lofton variously referred to it as a “pistol” and as an “automatic revolver.” Ndant asked him to describe the weapon but both assumed in their arguments that it was an automatic. There was no evidence of how this type of gun worked and each attorney went beyond the evidence in describing its operation: the state’s attorney told how it was cocked and the defense attorney how it fired. The state’s attorney said: “It is loaded by operating the slide. It pulls back the entire top of the gun and the feed mechanism puts a bullet up into the barrel. . . . The slide mechanism being operated putting the bullet into the barrel is what Rosa Thomas heard. . . . He was arming the pistol for firing. . . .” The defense attorney argued that the firing of but one shot showed that the shooting was an accident. He said: “This is an automatic pistol, mind you. And if he had kept his finger on that trigger, not one but six, seven or eight shells would have exploded.” Whether either statement was correct or inaccurate was a matter *247of speculation as far as the jury was concerned. While certain information about firearms is common knowledge, the method by which particular guns are loaded and discharged is not. Neither statement should have been made but the defense having made the same mistake as the prosecution cannot complain too effectively. The jury could have concluded on its own that the clicking sound heard by Mrs. Thomas had something to do with readying the gun and the state’s attorney’s statement would have done no more than reinforce that idea.
Whether the weapon was an automatic or a revolver is not too material. Ton ballistics. The defendant admitted shooting the deceased and the question is whether the gun, automatic or revolver, was fired accidentally or purposefully. The defendant could say whatever he liked about how the shooting took place — there was no one to contradict him. But there were other things that showed his guilt such as his taking the gun with him from his car to the Hamb apartment, his transferring it from one position to another while he was on his way, his flight after the shooting, his disposal of the gun, his hiding, his denial of any knowledge of the shooting when first accosted, and his saying nothing, after he did acknowledge the shooting, about the deceased striking the gun with her hand.
The ge errors in argument do not warrant a reversal. The judgment of the Criminal Court will be affirmed.

Here it is, January 2, and I'm already looking back. Well, since the digital Gods make the rules, technically it's okay since it's Throwback Thursday #TBT. (You know, it's the day wWe call that "vintage".
So many of you were surprised to know about my "heavy" days. So, I went digging to find you non believers a few pictures. FAIR WARNING, I'm exposing some of my really bad ones…and my favorites.
Um, yeah… then. You know, when the hand under the chin was "cool" and eating anything and everything fried was on my menu.
Oh dear, I'm not sure who is more hideous? Him or me? This was taken on my first trip, outside the state of Louisiana. (Circa 1998?) I spent a week in Hollywood hanging out with my Uncle, who is the creator of Mr. Bill from Saturday Night Live.
And then I finally got with the program.
I met my husband, found new friends, and gained a real self confidence about my work and life.
And this momma, wife, runner junkie, corporate gal ain't going back.
I'm only moving in one direction: forward.
The Great Purge of 2013 actually gave me this opportunity to look back. I keep specific things from my past as a way to measure progress, connect the dots and chart the future. Pictures, mementoes, and I even have a copy of every performance review. I went through my younger years and even found my report cards. Going back is cathartic sometimes. It's kept me on the new path I carved out.
Is life easy? No. Is everything hard? Yes, if you believe it to be. We are what we think, eat, drink, sleep and become.
So what's your Throwback Thursday going to look like 5, 10, 15 years from now? You are the one to shape it.
Seize life. Purge. Grow. Life is too short.

Should any non-tendered players be interesting to the Rays?
Share All sharing options for: The MLB non-tender deadline came and went on Monday, with the Rays non-tendering Guillermo Heredia while the rest of the league decided who they did and didn’t want to go to arbitration with.
The pool of players non-tendered now immediately enter free agency, where the open market will determine their value. This year in particular, the list of newly available players looks intriguing.
Most of the responses to this list has centered around the idea that a team composed solely of non-tendered players might compete for the playoffs — or at least not be terrible. That’s maybe going a bit too far, but there are certainly some names on the list who could have a role on competing teams.
As has been noted time and time again on DRaysBay this offseason, improving the Rays for 2020 is going to be a tough task, with the combination of solid depth, impending 40-man roster crunch, and a tight budget (I’m starting to feel a little tipsy). With those factors in place, let’s take a look at who should and who shouldn’t be of potential interest to Tampa Bay this offseason.
It’s starting to look more and more like 2018 was the outlier, not the new norm for Peraza. As for Russell, I wouldn’t mind him fading off into the distance.
Players: Tim Beckham, C.J. Cron, and Steven Souza Jr.
All three of these guys were on the Rays at some point since 2017, but I’d likely rule out any of them making a Rays Return. All three were reasonably popular (Bex maybe moreso immediately after he was traded than when he was on the team), but none are a good fit for what the Rays will be looking for in 2020. Beckham can’t bring anything Adames doesn’t already do; the Rays want more versatility than what Cron brings; and Souza is too much of an injury-risk to use a precious roster spot on.
Honestly, with the pitching staff the Rays are rocking these days, unless I have a pretty high level of faith in you, I’m not interested. There’s just not room for lottery tickets.
This quadrumvirate of position players has me all kinds of intrigued. Let’s go one-by-one.
Pillar: I mean, why not grab all the best center fielders in baseball? In all seriousness, he’d make an amazing fourth outfielder for the Rays (steady ~85 wRC+ throughout his career), but given that he’s played at least 142 games each of the past five seasons, I’m not sure he’d sign on for that role. Now, if the Rays trade KK...
Santana: Now here’s a man potentially more likely to sign on for that fourth outfielder role, and one who is two years removed from being a very interesting hitter. Even last year, in over 500 plate appearances, he posted a wRC+ of 107. He strikes out a lot (32.0 percent career strikeout rate), but his power is legit (career .194 ISO), and he’s still just 27 years old. So why was he non-tendered? Well, he makes Austin Meadows look like Kevin Kiermaier in the outfield. He posted a shocking -34 DRS for the Mariners in 2019, doing damage at all three outfield spots. And honestly, given that the Rays have an already questionable defensive outfielder in Meadows, and their most-likely-to-be-injured outfielder playing in center, I think that swings the answer to a no for Santana. Close though.
Hernandez: I was pretty shocked to see him here on this list, and if the fit were better, he’d be up even a tier higher. Here’s a 29-year-old middle infielder whose floor sits around 2.0 WAR. Of course, his ceiling doesn’t reside much higher, and that’s where the issue comes in for the Rays. If the Rays are going to move for one of these guys, it has to either come at a position of need (sadly no legitimate catchers were non-tendered, of course) or have an high enough ceiling to really improve the squad. Hernandez has neither.
Twelve months ago, Treinen was an All-Star, finished sixth in the Cy Young, and was even receiving MVP votes, and now he’s on the open market.
Of course, there are a few factors ongoing here. First, and almost needless to say: RELIEVERS BE VOLATILE. Treinen has seen his ERA yo-yo from year to year in a manner Gentry Stein would be proud of: 2.49; 3.86; 2.28; 3.93; 0.78; 4.91.
There’s also the fact that the A’s, as smart and informed a franchise as you’ll find outside of the Rays, are deciding to non-tender him, and that is slightly troubling. Was there maybe a hints of an injury that the general baseball world didn’t know about? Do they believe 2017 and 2019 more than 2018?
Regardless, for a decent price (say, two years/$16M), it would be great to see the Rays make a move on the 31-year-old righty. Having him and Jose Alvarado as a pair of big-name positive-regression-to-the-mean candidates in a bullpen that otherwise may have overperformed last year, would be the perfect antidote for that expected negative regression. Relievers are always sketchy, but if you’re going to take a swing on one, make it one with a 97 mph fastball and nice ride. Projection systems peg him around 4.00 ERA, but I’d take the under if offered that figure.
So what do y’all make of the options out there?

Before Walker Hayes released "Fancy Like" — a viral-TikTok-hit-turned-bona-fide-career-maker, earning him the No. 1 spot on country radio as well as as all-genre fans, a slew of TV performances and bigger stages than he'd ever played before — he spent years chipping away at his path to country music success. But once he finally arrived at superstardom, Hayes admits that there were moments when he wanted to quit the music business for good.
As he tried to soak up every opportunity he had to bask in "Fancy Like"'s success, the singer says he realized that his career was pulling him away from his family. "I said, 'Hey, I think everybody will get paid for y'all's investment in me ... because I was gone. You know, I didn't see [my family] for like, two months."
"I could do it forever as long as Laney's with me," he continues. "... COVID spoiled me. I got to see what I was missing, and so that challenged me when we got back out. I was like, 'Okay, I don't want to miss that anymore. It's not worth it.' So now we're a family band."
Hayes stresses that life on the road together isn't all sweet, family-focused lyrics and dance-a-long TikTok challenges.
"It's not easy. My wife and I, we fight hard out there," the singer says. "Sometimes she's like, 'Do the kid thing. You're out there working. I need help with the kids. I'm like, 'Well, help me with work.' So we have battles, and then we apologize."
