Three Physics and Astronomy blogs

— Cocktail Party Physics is an irreverent, humorous blog dealing with physics from the point of view of someone who isn't a professional physicist, but who is interested in the subject. Multiple bloggers add interesting, differing viewpoints on current events from a physics standpoint. http://twisted-physics.typepad.com/cocktail_party_physics/— Astronomycast http://www.astronomycast.com/ is a website and podcast created by Dr. Pamela Gay from the University of Southern Illinois and Frasier Cain, publisher of Universe Today. The podcasts include weekly discussion topics, and mostly weekly “question shows” where listeners are invited to send Dr. Gay her questions, which she will answer in the podcast. Dr. Gay also has her own blog, Star Stryder at http://www.starstryder.com/, blogging the life of an astronomer.

A DESCONSTRUÇÃO DO EU EM FERNANDO PESSOA

This essay contemplates the deconstruction of the “I” in Fernando Pessoa, author of a mild silence, a restless view of someone who searched to explain the tangent issues of his time. It also considers a dialog with the poetical work of one of Pessoa´s most insane heteronyms: Alvaro De Campos.

The Veterans Health Administration in the Context of Health Insurance Reform

commentary describes the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the largest public integrated health care system in the United States, from the point of view of someone who has worked as a health services researcher in VHA for more than a decade and now lives and works in Canada. It traces the historical evolution of the VHA and outlines the important contributions it has made that are relevant to current discussions about health insurance and health system reform. The VHA reflects a very different model of care, financing, and delivery than the models that dominate the US health care industry. In this, it is more like public health delivery systems in other countries, sharing features with the National Health System in England and provincial health care systems in Canada, and provides an interesting case study for consideration in discussion of health insurance and system reform.

Professor Dugard as an Innovator in the Work of the International Law Commission

This article is a personal account of the work of Professor Dugard at the International Law Commission from the point of view of someone who sits next to him in the Commission and has worked with him there for the past six years. It tries to show how his proposals and arguments, especially concerning the topic ‘Diplomatic Protection’, for which he was the Special Rapporteur, greatly directed the debate and led to the approval of innovatory articles such as those concerning refugees, stateless persons, and members of ships' crews and recommendations to governments to take the interests of people injured more seriously. Above all, it tries to show how international law-making processes can be influenced by the determination, the knowledge, and the intelligence of a person whose dedication to the defence of human rights and a fairer world order has been exemplary.

Trauma, resilience and creativity: examining our therapeutic approach in working with refugees

This article is written to sum up and appraise the articles contained in this journal. I write from the point of view of someone who has worked in the field of trauma and specifically with refugees, asylum seekers and other ethnic minority group for over twenty years. I begin with my overview of each of the articles in this issue, giving a critique of each in the light of my experience in the field and suggesting possibilities for further research. I further discuss my view informed by psychoanalytic theory and discuss therapeutic intervention in relation to refugees, as well as my concerns and queries for the future of psychoanalytic practice in this field. My emphesis will be on people's resilience as well as their vulnerabilities.

Some uses of third-person reference forms in speaker self-reference

Speakers of English have available a set of terms dedicated to doing individual self-reference: `I' and its grammatical variants, `me', `my', `mine', etc. Speaker selection of other than these dedicated terms may invite special attention for what has prompted their use. This article draws on field recordings of talk-in-interaction in which speakers use `third-person' reference forms when speaking about themselves (e.g. when a woman says of her husband that `he's married to an Englishwoman'). We show that third-person forms are recurrently used for representing the views of someone else (a recipient or a non-present person, an indeterminate member of a category of persons, or an organization). We also show how — by drawing on resources such as the distinction between recognitional and non-recognitional person reference forms, and on category bound attributes — the particular third-person term selected can be fitted to and thereby contribute to the action(s) a speaker is implementing through their turn at talk.

Ethnologists and Indians in a Brazilian Scenario

What follows is the personal view of someone who has been conducting indigenous studies since the 1960s, and has, therefore, her own understanding of the field. My reading of ethnological production in Brazil will probably differ from that of my Brazilian colleagues, and will certainly be different from that of foreign ethnologists. However, being totally immersed in the ethnological community of the country, I could never pretend to pose as an impartial observer.

The price of corporate crime: the risks to business

PurposeBased on a presentation at the 24th International Symposium on Economic Crime September, 2006, at the University of Cambridge, this paper aims to focus comment on the risk to business generated from organized and economically motivated criminal enterprises to that of risk to reputation.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is the considered views of someone who has over 28 years of experience with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with over 20 of those years conducting white collar crime investigations and/or managing teams of investigators.FindingsLaw enforcement officers around the globe are being pushed to deliver and, with an increase in public resources, are pursuing corporate criminals with renewed enthusiasm. Shareholders have started choosing their investments based on social responsibility and ethical leadership. Western countries are experiencing the end of the baby boom and employees will soon be in big demand and able to pick where they want to work, thereby reasonably expecting to choose only the most socially responsible companies. This will not include those companies involved in corporate crime! It is asserted that the future does indeed look tougher for those employees, executives or companies who may get involved in corporate crime.Originality/valueThis paper identifies the risks to business presented by organized and economically motivated criminal enterprises.

Westernness: a meditation

A first-person meditation on the literary and visual arts of the American West, Westernness: A Meditation explores how this region has developed its own distinct culture, in literature and painting, from the point of view of someone who has been, at different times in his life, both a westerner and an easterner. An engaging and astute reader and observer, Alan Williamson uses his poetic lens to examine the new connections, notably with the Far East, that have been forged in the West, but also the fear, anxiety, and sense of cultural vacancy that western artists have had to overcome in confronting their new landscape, much as the writers of the American Renaissance did a century earlier. Writing as a displaced easterner with significant western roots, Williamson looks at writers and poets such as Cather, Lawrence, Steinbeck, Jefferes, Silko, and Snyder, as well as artists such as the Yosemite painters, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Wayne Thiebaud, to show how, despite the inflated optimism of many western patriots, the work of these individuals relates to the anxieties suffered by their eastern predecessors. By revealing what he sees as the repetition of the evolution of American literature in the rise of western literature, Williamson provides us with a fresh vantage point from which we can appreciate western literature, art, and culture and simultaneously dismantle the literary war between East and West. A tribute to the author's lifelong engagement with a particular landscape and its writers, Westernness speaks to the general reader who is curious about his or her native place and relationship to it, as well as to scholars in literary and ecocritical studies.

Descartes-Inseparability-Almog

Joseph Almog' s elegant and concise monograph, What am /?, simultaneously advances a new interpretation of Descartes' dualism and offers a powerful articulation of the bearing of essentialist metaphysics on the mind-body problem. Some may object to Almog' s endeavor to see Descartes so much in light of recent, Kripkean developments in metaphysics. Some may object to this, but not me. The study of the history of philosophy is tough, and we cannot afford to neglect any potential source of insight. Some may object to Almog's tying his original development, and criticism, of Kripkean metaphysics to the let's face it often obscure views of someone writing more than three centuries ago. Some might say: why not forget the history and just take on the real issues directly? Some might say this, but not me. Like the study of the history of philosophy, philosophy itself is tough and we cannot afford to neglect any potential way of making progress, even if that way comes from one of our remote philosophical ancestors. Indeed, I would say that the distinction between doing philosophy and studying its history is not all that sharp, if it exists at all. This is one of the important lessons of which Almog's book reminds us. Some may object to Almog's relatively sparse attention to the details of Descartes' texts and his non-existent attention at

Observações sobre a libido colonizada: tentando pensar ao largo do patriarcado

Nestas observações procuro refletir sobre algumas conseqüências da maneira como pensamos e vivemos nossos desejos. Procuro contrastar nossos desejos com a idéia de liberdade e com a maneira como pensamos a natureza. Isso me leva rapidamente a pensar na pornografia, na identidade masculina e em seguida no nosso regime de auto-estima. Desemboco então em um conjunto de temas que se relacionam com as estruturas institucionais e emocionais do patriarcado sob um regime de heterossexualidade normatizada. Tento considerar esses temas sob um ponto de vista da experiência de quem foi treinado na masculinidade e se incomoda com suas conseqüências. Procuro encontrar um modo de repensar o agenciamento de nossos desejos e encontrar caminhos para um exercício de nossas capacidades de desejo que sejam, de alguma forma, mais livres.

Towards Ulysses : Some unpublished Joyce documents from Trieste

A number of documents have recently come to light which provide significant glimpses of Joyce's activities in Trieste in the years 1908-1913. This period is of particular interest because, contrary to the received image of Joyce as someone who wrote constantly and who was totally absorbed in his art, we find a Joyce who was, in literary terms, in a state of "suspended animation," with no major writing project at hand and with his energy dispersed among various interests and activities, most of which involved ways of making money. Before describing the documents, it might therefore be useful to briefly establish the context to which they refer. Based on Stanislaus' Trieste diary, "The Book of Days," we know that Joyce had finished the third chapter of his rewriting of Stephen Hero as early April 1908 (it was definitely finished by February, 1909, when Svevo wrote Joyce his appraisal of the first three chapters). At this point Joyce seems to have suspended work on the Portrait, which would only be mentioned sporadically over the next few years: in February 1911 (Ellmann's dating) when he threw the manuscript into the fire and it was saved by his sister Eileen; in July 1912 when he sent Svevo the postcard of the fisherman from Galway, with the wry annotation "portrait of the artist as an old man" and in August of the same year when Joyce wrote Nora that if only he could get Dubliners published he would "plunge into my novel and finish it." However, it seems that only with Joyce's "discovery" by Ezra Pound in December 1913, and the serialisation of Portrait in the Egoist beginning in February 1914 did he find the impetus to finally finish the novel, probably in the first six months of 1914 (Pound would receive the third Chapter of Portrait in July), and concurrent with work on Giacomo Joyce, Exiles and probably Ulysses. We thus have a period of over five years in which there was little if any progress on Joyce's writing of the Portrait. But if he wasn't writing, then what was he doing? In September 1908 Joyce declared his intention to abandon writing and train his voice for a professional career, and a month later he enrolled in the Conservatorio di Musica di Trieste to study [End Page 1] with the maestro Romeo Bartoli.1 After singing in the quintet from Wagner's Der Meistersinger at the Conservatory's year-end concert in July 1909, Joyce went to Ireland for two months with Giorgio and then returned to Dublin from September to January to supervise the opening of the Volta Cinema. Over the next four years, except for the occasional article for the Trieste paper, Il Piccolo della Sera, a few poems and some translation work, Joyce's main literary activities seem to have been critical in nature, and were related to his lectures on Defoe and Blake in February 1912 and most especially to the cycle of Hamlet lectures which began later that same year, for which he read and studied extensively. We can also assume that this was a preparatory period in which Joyce was considering what to do after Portrait, a work which though unfinished, was probably already superseded in his mind. In fact, when Joyce would finally finish the Portrait, it would be done in a retrospective fashion, from the point of view of someone who had already moved onto something else, as the use of Giacomo Joyce in the last two chapters (itself a sort of pseudopodia which, if not the distilled version of a projected longer work, certainly bears all the hallmarks of the epiphanic scaffolding and thematic gathering of materials from which the body of the work would be both generated and coalesce, which characterised Joyce's modus operandi when moving onto a new work2 ) and the shifting of the tower episode from the conclusion of Portrait to...

Why Non-Monotonic Logic is Inadequate to Represent Balancing Arguments

This paper analyses the logical structure of the balancing of conflicting normative arguments, and asks whether non-monotonic logic is adequate to represent this type of legal or practical reasoning. Norm conflicts are often regarded as a field of application for nonmonotonic logics. This paper argues, however, that the balancing of normative arguments consists of an act of judgement, not a logical inference, and that models of deductive as well as of defeasible reasoning do not give an adequate account of its structure. Moreover, it argues that as far as the argumentation consists in logical inferences, deductive logic suffices for reconstructing the argumentation from the internal point of view of someone making normative judgements.

Analysis of the risks in the marketing of fishing products.

As an employee of the National Sanitary Service, I will deal with this issue from a practical point of view; that is to say, a point of view of someone who daily faces many complicated evaluations in a multidisciplinary area such as public veterinary policy. I will not venture into high-level arguments about the evaluation of the risks of single toxins that are readily found in fishing products, but I will deal with the analysis of the sector as a whole, outlining the critical points in the marketing of fish products, with the intention of presenting an introduction that can help lead to a correct evaluation of the individual topics presented elsewhere.

Eyes and ears wide shut: reform of the university career structure in germany

This essay reflects the personal experiences and views of someone who has passed through the first stages of a university career in Germany. A few months ago, a new federal university framework law was passed which will change the system profoundly. The present generation of postdoctoral researchers, however, are the products of the old system, which will continue in force until the new one is fully implemented. In what follows, I describe both systems from a young scholar's point of view. While the old system suffered from serious defects, with adverse consequences for young academics in particular, the new order is likely to be even worse.

Research in Context: Ethnographic Usability

The only way to judge a product's acceptance in the workplace is through its use. However, before a product is released into the marketplace, its developers would like to predict its acceptability in the target market. One predictor of acceptability is usability test results. Typically, usability testing takes place outside of the user's natural environment in a usability test lab, an artificial environment. This article suggest ways in which ethnographic principles, historically used to describe a culture from the point of view of someone within that culture, can be used along with traditional usability testing to predict a product's acceptability in the marketplace.

Trust and Contracts

Trust and contracts: Are they mutually exclusive? I will begin my discussion of this question from the perspective of commercial trans actions in the United States. Mine might be described as a micro approach to the subject, in contrast to the macro view of someone like Francis Fukuyama in his recent book about trust.1 So, now to the question at hand. The answer is, in my opinion, so obviously negative that you might wonder what purpose is served by posing it. The purpose?I think?is that the question serves as a useful rhetorical device for exploring the nature of the relationship between trust and contract.
