A perfect score is 21.0 points. How many points would you have after 3.0 perfect games in a row? Answer:

Can You Solve this SIMPLE Math Problem? | Do You Remember?
The game makers said that obviously 1 + 4 = 5, but you can also reach 5 by adding 1 to 4 x 1.
With this rule, on the second line you would add 2 to the sum of 2 x 5. This would total 12, as is shown in the picture.
On the third line they would add 3 to 6 x 3 to get 21.
And for the final line of the problem, they would add 8 to 11 x 8 to get a final answer of 96.

The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) surveyed their members to learn the most common problems found in the homes they had inspected. Does your home suffer from any of these common household problems?
By far the most common home inspection problem (35.8%) found from the society of home inspectors was the improper grading of the ground around the home. Responsible for many common household issues including cracked concrete slabs and water in the basement or crawl spaces, poor and uneven grading can be corrected by re-grading the ground around the house. Depending on the severity of the problem, other remedies could include installing a french drain, or repairing or installing gutters and a downspout system to provide the proper drainage away from the home’s foundation.
Home inspection service companies reported poor grading of the ground around the home was the biggest problem they found, causing damage to slabs and foundations from poor water drainage.
Insufficient electrical service to the house, inadequate overload protection, improper grounding and amateurish wiring connections were reported in about 20% of home inspectors reports. Much of the improper wiring reported was caused from do-it-yourselfers.
Insufficient or inadequate electrical service to the house was reported in about 20% of home inspections.
A dangerous safety hazard, if your home suffers from any type of electrical problem from improper wiring or other unknown electricity issues, call a qualified professional electrical contractor near you.
Older and damaged roofing shingles or improper roof flashing was third most frequently reported home inspection problem (8.5%). Since most asphalt roofing shingles are only warranted for about 15-20 years, unless old shingles are re-roofed or repaired when the damage is visible every home can suffer from roof leaks.
Older and damaged roofing shingles or improper roof flashing is third most frequently reported home inspection problem.
Broken or malfunctioning operation controls, blocked chimneys and unsafe exhaust flues and cracked heat exchangers ranked fourth, representing more than simply an inefficient heating system. A major health and safety hazard, heating systems should be serviced annually by a professional heating contractor.
An old, inefficient heating system should be serviced annually by a knowledgeable homeowner or a professional heating contractor, but a new and more efficient heating system could pay for itself in a few years.
If your home has an older heating system, investing in a newer and more efficient central heating system could eventually recoup your investment by reducing your heating and cooling costs in the future, and at the same time keeping your home safer.
Dirty, cracked or peeling painted surfaces, crumbling masonry, make-shift plumbing or wiring repairs and broken fixtures or appliances were found in a good percentage of home inspections, reflecting the general lack of care given by the homeowner. You can prevent future problems by performing routing home maintenance yourself, or get help and find a pro if you have more serious problems you cannot tackle yourself.
Many homes sustain structural damage to foundation walls, floor joists, ceiling and roof rafters and window and door headers. More common in older homes, structural damage is usually caused from problems in one or more of the other categories, such as improper grading or a leaking roof.
Old or incompatible water pipes faulty fixtures and waste lines were common problems found in many houses. Surprisingly, some home inspectors even reported finding leaks in the natural gas lines.
Improper or inadequate caulking and poor weather stripping are the most common causes of a cold and drafty house and a main cause of energy loss.
To save energy, overly ambitious homeowners often “over-seal” their homes, resulting in excessive interior moisture. This can cause rotting and premature failure of both structural and non-structural elements. Moisture from un-vented kitchens and bathrooms can damage interior plaster walls and ceilings, and can lead to the accumulation of mold.
ASHI included this category that primarily focused on interior components that were not found frequently enough to rank individually. Sticking windows, dripping faucets, and a number of environmental concerns including the use of lead based paints and asbestos topped the list.
While some of these common household problems can be severe and may require the help of a professional contractor, many common home problems can be prevented simply by performing routine home maintenance and inspections.

The iPad sat on an obnoxious little fold-out easel, taunting me with it's flashy swishy fabulousness. "Jordan, come touch me," it said, "swipe your fingers across my face and discover that I can be whatever you want me to be." It wasn't lying either. If I fancied reading a book, it was wide open, perhaps I needed to send an email, it was signed sealed and delivered with love. It was, truly, everything I wanted from plastic and aluminum. But, sadly, it wasn't mine.
This is the story of a boy and a tablet computer.
For those that don't know what a tablet is, and there aren't many of you, a tablet is a computing device with a touch screen that enables users to perform most of the tasks more commonly performed on a laptop or desktop PC computer, but with greater mobility and some of the added benefits commonly associated with a mobile phone, like SMS text messaging. So, you can read online recipes in the kitchen whilst texting your Mum or even watch YouTube on the loo whilst learning Piano chords.
Now, I'm no techno wizard, I'm not big on Hi-Fis or WiFi and I'm not easily turned-on by electronics, but I do like the technology I choose to invest in to work for me in ways previously thought unimaginable. A tall order? Nope, that's what technology is for!
Par example, when I stepped into the smart phone world, I did so with the BlackBerry Bold. A sturdy, easy and efficient tool that could handle my five email accounts and my tendency to frequently drop it in the street. I subsequently trailed the first Nokia Lumia, a less responsive but nevertheless pretty device that was my first dabble with touch-screen. Then, my latest and current phone is the iPhone 4S, a phone worthy of deity. It just does what I want when I want it. It reminds me of meetings, TV programmes I like, allows me to email quickly and without fuss, when I'm out of the office, dictate text messages when driving (oh, as if you don't) and I can still tweet from four accounts, manage five Facebook pages and still have a personal social(media) life too. *sigh* it's amazing.
Functionality. That's what I look for in a technological device. That's what gets my techno juices flowing.
So, back to the aforementioned tablet. I first came across said tablet at work as the company I work for has both an ecommerce operation and a bricks and mortar shopfloor presence, with the shopfloor benefiting from an iPad to allow shoppers to browse the extensive catalogue of products, online. It was this iPad that was to be my first foray into the world of tablet computing.
For a long time, I tried to ignore it. I said things like, "it provides excellent opportunities for multi-channel cross-pollination," whilst staring at it as if it might bite me. It was such a ridiculous item, something Steven Jobs pitched to a load of techno-nutters as a joke because no one in their right mind needs a phone that doesn't phone or a laptop that doesn't have a bloody keyboard. Right?
Oh, and guess what, whilst you've been reading my ramble over 125 tablets have been sold. Yep, according to the Guardian, one tablet will be sold every single second this Christmas shopping period. So, if you haven't already swanned off to get yours, I'll make it easier. Click here to go straight to the Carphone Warehouse and get your fix.

I just got back from the BOLD Academy in San Francisco and I came away from that experience with a renewed appreciation for the personal change process. I’ve tried to capture that insight below. First of all, what I’m trying to describe is a little nuanced (but infinitely practical) so if it doesn’t make sense, then feel free to blame the messenger. Second, it’s equally likely that you’ll get it and won’t agree with it. That’s fine too. Please let me know what you’re thinking in the comments below. I’d like my ideas to most fully represent the truth and we all have important pieces of it.
The BOLD house vibrated with energy, but underneath that energy was a community of radical acceptance and support.
I’m ambitious. And if you’re like me then you know that setting and achieving goals is one of the most pleasurable feelings in the world. I love the challenge of pushing myself beyond my limits, failing, and getting up again. And again. And again. This type of grit got me through my tough times and I certainly wouldn’t have succeeded if I didn’t have a compelling purpose pulling me forward. But recently I’ve realized the limitations of this way of thinking. I’ve spent so much time being pulled forward by purpose and trying to overcome obstacles that I’ve failed to notice something else. The world was no longer the same. Change happens so radically today that my dream job may be obsolete by the time I even start a two-year plan to get it. Careers, businesses, and even entire markets are created and destroyed from month to month. So, I began to realize that I needed a new way of doing things. I think the problem is simply that my ego-driven mindset restricts me from making necessary adjustments to an ever-changing reality. I simply don’t know when a danger sign is just self-doubt (and I should push through it) or when it signals that I need to make an actual change in our approach. So, how do you know the difference?
Well, I have a guess. I think the method for knowing the difference is intuitive rather than intellectual. It is something I’m calling radical acceptance and the idea is pretty simple. If you are resisting your own thoughts or feelings then you are not acknowledging reality and the only way to stop compulsive resistance is start accepting – everything. The reason it’s called “radical” acceptance is because it accepts everything…including resistance itself. Confused? I was too. Here is an story of how this shows up.
A friend and I had just finished a yoga class together and a few minutes later I found her crying. She said that during the mindfulness practice, she finally became aware of all of the negative self talk in her head. The voices that told her she wasn’t good enough. The voices that said she needed to try harder. Her practice had opened up new insight, but as she told me this amazing revelation she became increasingly upset. “I just can’t believe how much of my time I’ve wasted,” she said. “These negative voices in my head have been holding me back this whole time. They tell me that I’m not good enough and I can’t believe that I listened to them.” As she embellished how her negative self talk had been such an awful thing and how she needed to get rid of it. I said, “that’s an amazing insight, but be careful that you don’t beat yourself up for beating yourself up.” She paused and smiled.
My point was that your ego will adapt to whatever thing you fear. If you fear being poor then it will make you feel bad for not making enough money. If you fear being selfish then it will make you feel bad for buying designer shoes. If you fear being superficial then it will make you feel bad for skipping yoga class. Resistance will always tell you that you are not centered enough or not being generous enough or not being spiritual enough. Know that it is all just your ego using resistance against you. And just like you cannot fight darkness with darkness, you cannot fight resistance with resistance. And underneath all of the surface level problems you are facing, the real problem is resistance itself.
You cannot fight darkness with darkness.
So, radical acceptance is deeper than just awareness. My yoga friend was aware of the negative self talk, but she had not yet accepted it. She was using negative self talk to keep herself from using negative self talk. It is silly, but also tragic. We instinctively move towards happy feelings and move away from negative feelings. We rarely stop and accept them as they are. Radical acceptance is such an effective approach because it isn’t about moving towards or away. It isn’t about compulsive action at all. When you accept everything as it is without an agenda then your actions will be aligned. When your actions are aligned things will change organically. It’s a complete paradigm shift.
Unconditional acceptance as a means for change is a radical notion, but one that ultimately frees us to walk confidently through the fog of attachments. It’s a little nuanced, but I think that’s the point. Our ego is fueled by resistance largely because, according to neurologists, the brain’s primary function is to curate reality. It’s primary function is to delete information from your awareness. So, if you practice a form of radical acceptance training (meditation, mindfulness, yoga, etc.) then you can offset your inborn brain/ego/curator/resistance machine that blinds you to what’s really happening. If you don’t, then you’ll be living in black and white (which, since we are radically accepting, isn’t a bad thing…it’s just a thing).
So, be careful with the goal-setting workshops and all of the stories about what you are supposed to want. Start by becoming aware of your thoughts and feeling and start by accepting them. If you don’t want to accept them, then accept that feeling. If that thought makes you feel angry. Accept that feeling. If it makes you feel bored, then accept that feeling. If it makes you hungry, then go make a sandwich. Remember that love must be unconditional or it isn’t love. so if you’re going to really love yourself then you need to accept everything about yourself, every moment. The key point is that even when you don’t want to accept something, you can still accept the feeling of non-acceptance.
Love is unconditional or it isn’t love.
Radical acceptance as a means for change is about being centered not being pushed or pulled. And we all learned in high school physics that when weight is centered it reduces the object’s moment of inertia making it easier and faster to change direction. If you want to survive the pace of radical change, then you need to center yourself and accept the most current reality. Both in your environment and inside yourself. With complete acceptance of reality you will be free of compulsion. You will be free to act when you need to act. You will be free to rest when you need to rest. Paradoxically, it is only when you radically accept things as they are that you or your organization can respond appropriately to the ever-changing demands of modern life.
In 1906, the South African newspaper Indian Opinion held a competition to define the growing resistance against British rule. Gandhi famously adapted one of the entries – “satyagraha” – to define his vision of social change. We often think about acceptance as a passive act and RADICAL acceptance even more so. But Gandhi never liked the terms “passive resistance” or even “non-violent resistance.” In fact, satyagraha means “insistence on truth.” So, radical acceptance isn’t about change. It is foremost about truth. And yet, magically, it is through accepting truth that we change.
I’ve spent the last three years immersed in the personal change process while I worked to get my MS in Leadership. It was an unbelievable, hard, enriching, enjoyable and detestable process…if that make sense – and I would not give it up for the world. Radical Acceptance. I get it and I agree with it! 🙂 I fear not being seen as a capable person, so I continue to load up on responsibilities to the point of overload and feel bad in most cases for giving tasks to someone else. I fear being viewed as selfish or lazy, so I rarely ask for help with those responsibilities and feel bad when I am overloaded and lash out at others, or have to have help because I become ill from the stress So in practicing radical acceptance, I accept that I have negative self-thoughts when I assign tasks to others. I accept that I have negative feelings when I lose my temper with family and friends during stress-filled times. I believe I have begun radical acceptance practices in my life and am experiencing some of the effects of peace and change. I’m moving past those debilitating thoughts that are internally based – not externally uttered. I accept that my feelings are based upon my desire to be capable and strong in the eyes of others and that radically, those feelings are not a basis for living life. Therefore by radical acceptance of these truths, my ego is able to by-pass its own innate resistance and move toward positive change. Insightful! Thanks for sharing.
Well said, Diva. It’s so true. We are constantly exposed to opportunities for growth, but the ones that stick are the ones that we are ready to accept. How could it be otherwise?

With more than 60 soldiers in tow, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey led the participants at today’s first early morning Battle Challenge, a fire and maneuver obstacle course that launched activities on the exhibit floor at the Association of the U.S. Army symposium.
Replacing what had been a traditional run with the sergeant major of the Army followed by breakfast and a speech, the Battle Challenge competition attracted dozens of PT uniform-clad soldiers who maneuvered an obstacle course, with times that averaged about two minutes. Each two-man team ran toward and climbed a cargo net, slid down a knotted rope, mounted and tumbled over a wall, low-crawled, shuffled Jerry cans, resupplied ammunition, performed marksmanship tasks and rescued a downed service member, in a race toward the finish.
Among the competitors were the 22 soldiers from around the Army who had won their own command’s Best Warrior competition. One of those was Spc. Kenny Ochoa of the U.S. Army Reserve Command, who was breathless and smiling after completing the burst of exercise.

As the designated faculty speaker, selected after nominations from all the various departments at the college, I made the following remarks, in full academic regalia, at the Dean’s List ceremony this evening at the College of Staten Island.
Thank you very much to the Dean for the kind introduction.
I am pleased and honored to be here, amongst the elite of the College of Staten Island, students who have made the Dean’s list for academic accomplishment. You have proved yourselves in the challenges of academic life and you should be proud. I am proud of you.
In the classic Wim Wenders film, “Wings of Desire,” some characters are able to hear and experience the thoughts of others. And although one ordinarily imagines a library as a place of quiet contemplation, in the film the library was a cacophy of voices, a hundred trains of thought running through, each audibly expressing the content of a person’s mind.
This is how I like to imagine the arena of the mind, lively and exciting.
But also playful. Perhaps I’m called on to offer some advice to you, and my advice is this: pursue an attitude of playful curiosity about your subject, whatever it is. Play with new ideas, explore all facets of them, going beyond whatever had been expected of you. You will be led to vast new lands of imagination.
A while back, my son Horatio, in fourth grade at the time, showed me his math homework. His teacher had said, “I am thinking of a number. It has a 3 in the ten’s place. The digits add to 10. It is prime. What is my number?” Can anyone solve it? Yes, 37 is a solution, and Horatio also had found it. He asked me, “are there other solutions?” Now perhaps an unimaginative person might think only of two-digit numbers, and in this case, 37 is the only solution. But with imagination, we can seek out larger possibilities. And indeed Horatio and I worked together at the cafe and realized that 433 is another solution, as well as 631 and 1531. I checked a table of prime numbers, and found that 10333 is also a solution, as is 100,333. I began to wonder: are there infinitely many solutions? I had no idea how to prove such a thing.
solutions; one young mathematician found all the solutions up to one hundred million, systematically. Another found enormous solutions, gigantic prime numbers, one with 416 digits (mostly zeros), which were also solutions of the problem. But with regard to whether there are infinitely many solutions or not, we still had no answer. It turns out to be an open mathematical question; nobody knows, and the question leads to deep number-theoretic waters.
Another instance of playfulness began when I was a graduate student. A prominent visiting mathematician (Lenore Blum) gave a talk about the theory of infinitely precise computation, concerning computational devices able to undertake perfectly accurate real number arithmetic. After the talk, inspired, a group of us speculated about other infinitary notions of computability: what could or should one do with a computational device able to undertake infinitely many steps of computation? We played with the idea, and over several years a theory gradually emerged. Although some of my research colleagues had discouraged me, I ignored them and continued to play with and develop my theory. In time, our ideas grew into a new theory of infinitary computation. We had invented the subject now known as infinite time Turing machines. Those playful ideas led to a new theory that is now studied around the world, with new masters theses written on it and Ph.D. dissertations written on it, and conferences focused on it; our original article now has hundreds of citations.
Play is not always easy. It took years of seriously hard work in the case I just mentioned; but essential to that work was play. So please play! Explore your ideas further, and see where they take you!
I was there, and you did it beautifully. As your colleague (Associate Professor of History, Director of the American Studies Program) who has never met you, I wanted to run over to you and ask you to teach a Scientific World course on how to use math to play with your brain, with Martin Gardner books as textbooks. Just a thought. I’d like to audit that class.
You are very kind. And your idea for a playful math course does indeed sound like fun, both to teach and to take!
Meanwhile, the problem about primes isn’t so easy as you suggest. Although 10333 and 100333 and even 1000333 are each prime, the pattern doesn’t continue, because 10000333 is not prime (it is 7 times 1428619), and there seem to be fewer and fewer instances of this particular pattern as you go up. You can see the online post I had referred to in my remarks at Can you answer my son’s fourth grade homework question? and there are exhaustive lists there of all solution instances up to one hundred million, and other large solutions much larger than one hundred million.
Dear Joel, I read it and now I cannot stop my mind to think and my hands to write about it! The lecture is about what we lost many years ago: “the glory of childhood”, “the joy of playing like a child”, “the boundless world of a child’s imagination and questions” and “his/her endless endeavor to find the answers”. What an amazing approach to mathematics! Mathematics is not a rigid subject of science. It is a playground! So please play children! Please play….
I feel that I am 8 years old now! Carry my warm greeting to Horatio, please.
Oh! I forgot something. If you love cinema I recommend a Japanese film about “number theory”, “childhood” and “Platonism”. I hope it be enjoyable for you.

NOTE: This brief critique was based solely on Spivak's "Can the Subaltern Speak?" and preceded "Escaping the Colonial Trap".
CRITIQUE OF SPIVAK'S "CAN THE SUBALTERN SPEAK?"
2. Confront opponents who do not use this language with an unsupported and arrogant claim that they are somehow "in denial" (terms used include "foreclose", "taken in", "cannot acknowledge", "disavowal", etc.) - the net result of which is a) to present Spivak's own argument as being on a more secure footing than it is and b) to reinscribe opposition to her view as "symptom" instead of as truth-claim. (Is it really true that Foucault "cannot acknowledge" economic exploitation, or that he can but won't, i.e. that he believes other concepts to be more useful? Or that Anderson "does not see", rather than disagreeing with the view that, the later Foucauly believes in a Subject of the West? Or that Deleuze and Guattari are "incapable of articulating a theory of interests", rather than articulating a theory which breaks down the idea of fixed interests?). Language of this kind is used to hint at evidence for a counterclaim - evidence which, however, she never presents.
3. Raise the emotional tone by adding an accusation that rivals are "dangerous" or complicit in all kinds of oppressive systems. Or in one case that: "The refusal of the sign-system [by Foucault] blocks the way to a developed theory of ideology" (280). NB again how it is simply assumed, not shown, that such a theory is necessary and superior to Foucault's approach. Or: "Neither Deleuze nor Foucault seems aware that the intellectual within socialized capital, brandishing concrete experience, can help consolidate the international division of labour" - classic Althusserian guilt-tripping. The absence of the correct theoretical terminology becomes proof of complicity with the enemy. Notice again how, subtracting the claim about "awareness" (see 2), the sentence is an unsupported assertion. The contentiousness of and lack of evidence for the thesis is concealed beneath the rhetoric seen in 2.
In this way, Spivak evades the need to provide evidence for a string of basic theoretical positions around which she is in dispute with others. Indeed, she tends to reproduce the entire logic of Althusserian "symptomatic reading", which rests on the theorist having an ontologically-privileged access to the whole Truth so as to be able to diagnose the "ideological" character of opposing views by exposing what is missing from them. So she claims to be able to point out what a work or tradition can't or won't say. Also, her attack on Foucault and Deleuze for 'privileging the subject' and 'subjective essentialism' and her criticism of 'fetishizing the concrete' implies a commitment to an Althusserian anti-humanist methodology involving a fetishism of the symbolic system, as if this is an external "material" structure which is unaffected by speech-acts and which cannot be deconstructed or used creatively. (Deleuze's "subject" is molecular and therefore fragmented, and not at all the subject of Spivak's account. Presumably, therefore, Spivak believes that any idea that something within human beings can exceed and challenge the status quo is "essentialist"; though she never explains why her Lacanian view of the social system is less "essentialist"). Belief in the subject is supposed to reproduce the social relations of production, although Spivak does not provide any support for this unlikely claim. (Surely capitalism is about objectifying workers, not subjectifying; and what of slavery?!). Hence, she exaggerates the role of existing, especially formal, symbolic systems in constructing identity and enabling or limiting speech; for instance, she claims that everything is representation. She also exaggerates the role of theory; Foucault and Deleuze express a vague agent called an "episteme" which "operates its silent programming function" on "the general nonspecialist, nonacademic population".
directly to the "authentic" meaning of classic Sanskrit texts. Also as a result of this, she seems to assume a kind of general and inescapable complicity of everyone in systems of oppression, a model which requires that one misrepresent one's work, not as something creative, but as a mere outgrowth of "its own material production as institutionality". Although this idea does not apparently affect her own claims. (Crucially, the concept of "interest" is very complicit in existing power-relations since it drives the discipline of economics which is a central "epistemic" basis for organisations such as the WTO, World Bank etc.).
Where this Althusserianism is Lacanianised is on the subject of "constitutive lack". "These philosophers will not entertain the thought of constitutive contradiction - that is where they admittedly part company with the Left" (274). Contrary to Spivak's assertion here, this is not a left idea (Marxian contradiction is Hegelian, not constitutive) but a Lacanian one. Indeed, she mystifies this mystified formula still further by suggesting it operates, not only in individual psyches, but collectively, through "our archaic past". She links this to the concept of "interest", i.e. "interest" marks the point where lack is inscribed in the subject. It is unclear what relationship this libidinal concept of "interest" has to the more usual economic meaning which occurs elsewhere in Spivak's essay. Perhaps she has picked up the bad habit, again common among Lacanians, of treating different senses of the same word as if they express some kind of unconscious unity. She specifically supports "a politically interested refusal to push to the limit the founding presuppositions of my desires", i.e. conceives politics as ideology (in the Situationist sense of the term). Also, the confusion of external others with "the interior voice that is the voice of the other in us" as a single "desiring subject as Other" - as if people are nothing but little bits of each other's psyches - is Lacanian. Most crucially, she seems to oppose the openness of theories such as those of Deleuze and Foucault, who leave space for resistance and "lines of flight", insisting instead that the system is a total trap which can actually go as far as to foreclose the possibility of subaltern collectivities emerging.
Spivak asks, "can the subaltern speak?" and her answer is "no". However, unlike Guha she doesn't really seem interested in how "the subaltern" tries to speak. Instead, she analyses dominant discourses and shows how they construct subaltern people as voiceless. This leads her away from evidence and into a discourse analysis focussed solely on dominant groups. For example: "The question is not of female participation in insurgency, or the ground rules of the sexual division of labour, for both of which there is 'evidence'. It is, rather, that, both as object of colonialist historiography and as subject of insurgency, the ideological construction of gender keeps the male dominant". "The institutional evilsattendant upon this law are well known; I am considering its asymmetrical effect on the ideological formation of the sexed subject". Regarding feminism: "One never encounters the testimony of the women's voice-consciousness" (a paradoxical criticism since she criticises the idea of authentic voice when attacking Foucault). . Interpreting such phrases is difficult because Spivak does not define key concepts in her work (is "ideology" merely symbolic or also practical?) and her over-reliance on passive voice, but she seems to think that, because male linguistic texts define women as voiceless, therefore they are. This ignores the difficulty involved in imposing any particular dominant text: it is subject both to refusal and to deconstructive readings by "subaltern" people themselves. The Israelis construct the Palestinians as subordinate but this does not prevent Palestinian resistance. People do not necessarily become what dominant legal and symbolic systems say they are. Dominant social systems are often reduced to apparatuses hovering above everyday life, and their actuality when it exists is mostly a result of physical violence. It is not possible to draw conclusions about the identity of "the subaltern" from a discussion of the discourse of colonisers and elites.
The position of her own discourse in her theory is unclear. She claims to be "a postcolonial woman" and also claims that postcolonial women cannot speak due to being interpellated as voiceless by male and colonial power. However, here she is "speaking" (or rather, writing).
Despite her apparent bias against empirical claims, she falls back on them at key points, and also relies on class taxonomies despite her declared hostility to taxonomic logic. For instance: 'Belief in the plausibility of global alliance politics is prevalent among dominant social groups interested in "international feminism" in the comprador countries'; 'In the interest of maintaining the circulation and growth of industrial capital... transportation, law, and standardized education systems were developed - even as local industries were destroyed", etc. These claims are often unsupported.
Spivak's use of words is often clumsy. It is not clear to me why a plan to "Investigate, identify and measure the specific" is essentialist (284); in the quote from Guha she attacks, I would suggest only the ideas of 'ideal' and 'deviation' are essentialist (on a Barthesian reading). It is also not clear that the substance of Guha's work relies to a significant extent on the themes Spivak is attacking. She is also inclined to assume that only imperialist oppressions are real: Foucault's concern about prisons and mental asylums must be a veil for something else. Yet prisons and mental asylums are real.
Spivak's reading of Deleuze and Foucault is selective, reading sweeping problems into their work on the basis of one short article. She ignores other relevant material, such as Deleuze's discussion of shamanism in Anti-Oedipus. She also does not consider whether Foucault's method could in principle be applied to colonial systems. Her argument seems to be that Foucault and Deleuze write mainly about the west, therefore they must be ignorant (or in denial) about the "Other of Europe", therefore they must implicitly express a "Subject of the West". (This argument could be repeated in relation to any particular group which is not explicitly mentioned in a particular article). This is then backed by various appeals to her own views, usually with no supporting evidence or arguments. For instance: she simply asserts that it is surreptitiously oppressive to allow others to speak. Similarly, Foucault is supposed to have "helped positivist empiricism" and is "uncritical about the historical role of the intellectual". She does not mention his detailed critiques of the "human sciences". (Perhaps it is the fact that Foucault does not extend his critique of particular intellectual discourses to a critique of "the intellectual" treated as a mythical and ahistorical abstraction which is Spivak's problem here?).
On the other hand, she sometimes uses exegeses (eg. of Marx) in cases where the claim she is trying to demonstrate is empirical rather than exegetical. Why, for instance, does she assume that Marx is right about peasants, without examining any evidence on whether he is?
The practical implications are unclear. Spivak wants to "speak to" instead of "listen to" or "speak for" the subaltern woman, but does not define "speak to" or how it is differentiated from the other categories. This "speaking to" cannot presumably be dialogic because Spivak also claims the subaltern woman cannot speak; also because Spivak's work is not apparently written to be accessible to subalterns. Anyway, the purpose seems to be therapeutic rather than emancipatory (in this case - a repetition of another Althusserian idea - to "systematically unlearn privilege"). Notwithstanding her claims to "Left" status, Spivak endorses a string of pessimistic theses (constitutive lack, the permanent guilt of all intellectuals, the subaltern cannot speak) which rule out any kind of transformative praxis and which redirect theory instead into mostly self-regarding activities. The only case of political action listed here (a suicide) is a classic Zizekian "Act": a nihilistic gesture emphasised only for its defiance of established meaning (and flagged up by Spivak as not a model for action anyway).
I was in court once and court started at 9 am.
In walked this guy about 9:05 am noticing his case was up he raised his hand to get the court's attention.
The judge started yelling at him and calling him some kind of criminal ,seem the judge thought his leather jacket made him a criminal.
mind you the leather jacket was a dress leather clearly it at one time was a costly purchase.
This judge places the guy on the stand and then tells him you will only answer how I tell you too.
back about 6 months ago someone shot a judge in another court room so this judge clearly needed some mental help.
I talked to the guy later and found out his wife had done him wrong and he was lacking any funds for any legal help.

Washington: Commonly used disinfectants do not kill human papillomavirus (HPV) that makes possible non-sexual transmission of the virus, thus creating a need for hospital policy changes, according to researchers from Penn State College of Medicine and Brigham Young University.
“Because it is difficult to produce infectious HPV particles for research, little has been known about HPV susceptibility to disinfection,” said Craig Meyers, distinguished professor of microbiology and immunology, Penn State College of Medicine.
Use of disinfectants on HPV in healthcare settings has been based on what works on other viruses or what is thought should be effective.
Meyers collaborated with Richard Robison, an expert in microbial disinfectants at Brigham Young University.
HPV is estimated to be among the most common sexually transmitted diseases and is linked to cervical cancers. For this study, researchers grew HPV16, a specific strain that is responsible for up to 60 per cent of all HPV-associated cancers. They then used 11 common disinfectants on the virus.
These disinfectants included ones made of ethanol and isopropanol because these are common ingredients in surface disinfectants and hand sanitizers used in both public and healthcare settings. Study of these hand sanitizers is important because other research has shown high levels of HPV DNA on fingers of patients with current genital infections. While HPV is susceptible to certain disinfectants, including hypochlorite and peracetic acid, it is resistant to alcohol-based disinfectants.
They also tested other common disinfectants, including glutaraldehyde, which is used for sterilization in medical and dental facilities. Results show that glutaraldehyde is not effective at inactivating the HPV virus.
Results are published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy.
Other research has suggested that HPV could be transmitted non-sexually. The current study shows that medical instruments considered sterile could pose a risk for transmission.
Meyers said the results suggest a need for a change in disinfectant use policies.

Every year thousands of trainees are recruited to healthcare programmes across a wide-range of clinical specialties via standardised national processes. This interactive e-learning programme has been created to support assessors involved in the recruitment process. The resource has been designed to help support those who are new to the recruitment and selection process as well as provide a refresher for experienced assessors on the standards and processes adhered to with the selection and recruitment of doctors and other clinical professions.
Using e-Learning for Healthcare as a platform for learning, the aim of this programme is to provide an educational tool, accessible to all assessors, to help ensure national recruitment is conducted consistently and fairly.
This programme covers recruitment to CT1 posts in core medical training and ACCS acute medicine. There are between 1500-1600 trainees recruited each year across the United Kingdom.
However, due to the high degree of similarity in recruitment processes, it is also largely applicable for those interviewing for ST3 posts in any of the medical specialties coordinated by the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board.
There are five 20 to 30 minute e-learning sessions for medicine.
This programme covers recruitment to CT1 posts in Core Surgical Training. There are around 600 vacancies per year across England, Scotland and Wales. The training programme allows surgical trainees to take their first footsteps along the exciting path of a surgical career.
There are three 20 to 30 minute e-learning sessions for surgery.
There are around 1000 vacancies per year across all levels in England, Scotland and Wales.

As part of the Modernising Scientific Careers (MSC) programme, the National School of Healthcare Science (the School) was established in October 2011 to support the implementation and delivery of the new healthcare science education and training programmes and to comply with the structures within ‘Liberating the NHS: Developing Healthcare Workforce – Policy 16977 (January 2012)’ acting on behalf of the Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) for England. It also provides some elements of support for the three other UK health departments.
The National School of Healthcare Science coordinates the annual recruitment to the Scientist Training Programme (STP) and the Higher Specialist Scientist Training (HSST) Programme.
The national recruitment processes ensure standardised selection of high quality applicants to healthcare science training programmes. This assessor focused e-learning provides an overview of the national recruitment processes for the STP national recruitment programme with the focus being on developing good practice around interviewer/assessor behaviour.
There are two 20 to 30 minute e-learning sessions for healthcare sciences.
This course, supported by Health Education England, NIMDTA, Wales Deanery and NHS Education for Scotland, consists of a single training and calibration e-learning session. This is intended for panel members who will be assessing applicants for Dental Core training (DCT). The e-learning session consists of a training video which is supported by guidance on scoring, along with a model answer. There are three further videos which panel members are required to view and score as part of the calibration process. At least one hour should be allowed to complete this e-learning session.
If you already have an account with e-LfH, then you can enrol on to the Recruitment Assessor Training programme by logging in to the e-LfH Hub, selecting My Account > Enrolment and selecting the programme. You can then access the programme immediately in the My e-Learning section.

Right now, Dr. Johnson is three times older than his son.
When Dr. Johnson was 37 years old, his son was 3 years old.
How old are Dr. Johnson and his son now?
Answer: Dr. Johnson is 51 and his son is 17 years old.
Assume that Dr. Johnson is X years old and his son is Y years old.
Then 3Y = X, and X – Y = 34.
Solving for X and Y, we get X = 51 and Y = 17.

Is temperature the amount of thermal energy an object has? Answer: Temperature is better described as the intensity of the thermal energy or the kinetic energy density.
Do temperature measurements need an uncertainty associated with them? Answer: All measurements are useless without an uncertainty.

Dr. Johnson needs to buy the same number of needles and syringes. The syringes are sold in packages of 6 and the needles are sold in packages of 10. What’s the smallest number of packages of syringes, and the smallest number of packages of needles, that Dr. Johnson can buy to have a matching number of each?
Answer: 5 packages of syringes and 3 packages of needles.
Dr. Johnson needs to come up with the smallest number that is divisible by both 6 and 10.
Since 6=2×3 and 10=2×5, the smallest number that is divisible by 6 and 10 is 2x3x5=30.
Therefore, Dr. Johnson needs 30/6=5 packages of syringes, and 30/10=3 packages of needles.

Thus, the correct answer is Choice (D).
You can apply this method for finding percent increase and decrease to many percent problems.

There are 6 persons seating on a round table in which two individual have the same names. What is the probability that the two same-named individuals will be neighbors?
Answer: Total no of ways in which 6 persons can sit on a round table is (6-1)! = 5! = 120.
If we consider two same-named individuals as one person there are 5 persons who can sit in (5-1)! ways and these individuals can be seated together in 2! ways.
So, required probability =(2*(5-1)!)/(6-1)!= 2/5.
So, the answer is 2/5 = 0.4.

Let us create the document.
In Designer, create a Document object named EmployeeAccruals.
In the Object presentation field, enter Employee accrual.
On the Numbering tab, set the number type to Number, and set the number length to 5 (fig. 18.1).
On the Subsystems tab, specify that the document is displayed in the Payroll subsystem.
You need the StartDate and EndDate attributes for specifying the period where each calculation record is effective.
On the Posting tab, prohibit real-time posting.
Specify that the document creates records in the Accruals calculation register and run the register records wizard (fig. 18.2).
In the wizard, select the Accruals tabular section and then click Fill Expressions.
For the EndOfActionPeriod and EndOfBasePeriod attributes, specify the following expression: EndOfDay(CurRowAccruals.EndDate).
For the RegistrationPeriod field, specify the following expression: Date.
For the SourceData attribute, specify the Accrual tabular section attribute.
For the Result resource, leave the expression field empty (fig. 18.3).
You will calculate this expression later.
Click OK and review the handler script generated by the wizard (listing 18.1).
Let us review this script.
In general, it does not have any major differences with other event handlers that create register records.
The only thing we will remind you here is that Accruals is the name of the calculation register so the expressions RegisterRecords.Accruals.Write() and RegisterRecords.Accruals.Add() are intended to call the methods of the register record set.
The line For Each CurRowAccruals In Accruals Do calls the document tabular section by its name (Accruals) and iterates through this tabular section.
The script inside the loop adds a register record and assigns values taken from the document tabular section to the record fields.
The EndOfDay() function is used to assign values to the EndOfActionPeriod and EndOfBasePeriod fields. You did the same thing when you created reports in order to include the last day of a period to a report.
Finally, let us edit the command interface to make the document creation command available in the Payroll section.
In the Actions panel.create group, select the check box next to the Employee accrual: create command (fig. 18.4).
