schizoforenzics

Sometimes some crimes
Go slips are double
When the crimes
Go slipping through the cracks
But these two, they'll find whatever's wrong gets solved get some help!!!
The Gumshoes...
The crimes...
Slipping through the cracks...
They are picking up the slack
There's no case too big
No case too small
When you need help just call
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale's
Rescue Rangers
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale
When there's danger
No, No, it never fails
Once they're involved
Somehow whatever's wrong gets solved

political shoemakers

Perhaps the most plausible explanation for the
intellectualism of the profession derives from
this factor: the shoemaker's work both was
sedentary and required little physical strength.
[...] Maybe that provided an incentive to
acquire other kinds of prestige. And maybe
here the semi-routine nature of a large part
of the work, which could be easily combined
with thought, observation, and conversation,
suggested intellectual alternatives.

-- E. J. Hobsbawm and Joan Wallach Scott, "Political shoemakers", Past
and Present, 1980; 89: 86-114.

monkey business

«I had to keep guessing at the channel; I had to discern, mostly by
inspiration, the signs of hidden banks; I watched for sunken stones; I
was learning to clap my teeth smartly before my heart flew out, when I
shaved by a fluke some infernal sly old snag that would have ripped
the life out of the tin-pot steamboat and drowned all the pilgrims; I
had to keep a look-out for the signs of dead wood we could cut up in
the night for next day's steaming. When you have to attend to things
of that sort, to the mere incidents of the surface, the reality--the
reality, I tell you--fades. The inner truth is hidden--luckily,
luckily. But I felt it all the same; I felt often its mysterious
stillness watching me at my monkey tricks, just as it watches you
fellows performing on your respective tight-ropes for--what is it?

language

As pedagogical and educational research has shown (Mercer, 2008;
Nystrand, 1997b; Wells & Arauz, 2006), verbal interaction in general
plays an important role in the construction of knowledge. Knowledge is
constructed at the interplay of experience and the use of symbolic
systems, like language (Halliday, 1993). Through interacting verbally
with others, people construct new notions and new understandings and
thus knowledge. -- "Mirroring interaction", Femke Joyce Nijland

stress, cont.

I'm getting continued mileage out of this old post,
http://gathatoulie.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/like-chronically-stressed-rat-looking.html
to which this supplement applies:

"Social defeat was based on the resident-intruder paradigm. In brief,
15 min after the female had been removed from the resident's cage, the experimental male (intruder) was placed inside. The animals were allowed to interact for a maximum of 10 min but usually experimental subjects took no more than 3-5 min to be defeated by the residents, as indicated by the overall behavior and submissive posture (escape, freezing, defensive upright, vocalization). Immediately afterwards, the intruder was physically separated from the resident by an acrylic divider with holes within the resident cage for further 60 min. To avoid individual differences in intensity of defeat, each day the intruders were confronted with another resident, randomized to maximize the time between repeated encounters. In forced swimming, animals were placed inside a 20-cm diameter cylinder half-filled with 24 ± 1oC water during 10 min. Regarding restraint stress, rats were immobilized inside sized- fit PVC tubes for 30 min." --

[Essentially] we computed the pagerank of each article and clustered
them into 36 chunks, which we call chambers here. If an article is e.g. in the
first chamber, it indicates a kind of higher importance (within the universe of
the PlanetMath.org articles) than an article in chamber 30. Additionally
incoming and outgoing links are displayed for each article, sorted by their
pagerank/chamber. --  From myyn.org
