X-RAY safety

Facts you should know when working with an x-ray device

Radiation is energy travelling through space, we’re exposed to it everyday. But every child knows that there are several forms of radiation – some are dangerous, some are not and in most cases the dose is the most important factor. If you work with radiation every day, the following information might be interesting and helpful.

Radiation and Life

Radiation is energy travelling through space. Sunshine is one of the most familiar forms of radiation. It delivers light, heat and suntans. We control its effect on us with  sunglasses, shade, air conditioners, hats, clothes and sunscreen. There would be no life on earth without lots of sunlight, but we have increasingly recognised that too much of it on our persons is not a good thing. In fact it may be dangerous, so we control our exposure to it.

Sunshine consists of radiation in a range of wavelengths from long-wave infra-red to shorter wavelength ultraviolet. Beyond ultraviolet are higher energy kinds of radiation which are used in medicine and which we all get in low doses from space, from the air, and from the earth. Collectively we can refer to these kinds of radiation as ionising radiation. It can cause damage to matter, particularly living tissue. At high levels it is therefore dangerous, so it is necessary to control our exposure.  Living things have evolved in an environment which has significant levels of ionising radiation. Furthermore, many of us owe our lives and health to such radiation produced artificially. Medical and dental X-rays discern hidden problems. Other radiation is used to diagnose ailments and some people are treated with radiation to cure disease. We all benefit from a multitude of products and services made possible by the careful use of radioactive materials.

Background radiation is that which is naturally and inevitably present in our environment. Levels of this can vary greatly. People living in granite areas or on mineralised sands receive more terrestrial radiation than others, while people living or working at high altitudes receive more cosmic radiation. A lot of our natural exposure is due to radon, a gas which seeps from the earth’s crust and is present in the air we breathe.

Ionising Radiation

Ionising radiation occurs in two forms – rays and particles, at the high frequency end of the energy spectrum. Ionising radiation produces electrically-charged particles called ions in the materials it strikes. This process is called ionisation. lonising radiation has the ability to affect the large chemical molecules of which all living things are made and so cause changes which are biologically important.

There are several types of ionising radiation:

X-rays and gamma rays, like light, represent energy transmitted in a wave without the movement of material, just as heat and light from a fire or the sun travels through space.  X-rays and gamma rays are virtually identical except that X-rays do not come from the atomic nucleus. Unlike light, they both have great penetrating power and can pass through the human body. Thick barriers of concrete, lead or water are used as protection from them.

Alpha particles have a positive electrical charge and are emitted from naturally occurring heavy elements such as uranium and radium, as well as from some man-made elements. Because of their relatively large size, alpha particles collide readily with matter and lose their energy quickly. They therefore have little penetrating power and can be stopped by the first layer of skin or a sheet of paper. However, if they are taken into the body, for example by breathing or swallowing, alpha particles can affect the body’s cells. Inside the body, because they give up their energy over a relatively short distance, alpha particles can inflict more biological damage than
other radiations.

Beta particles are fast-moving electrons ejected from the nuclei of atoms. These particles are much smaller than alpha particles and can penetrate up to 1 to 2 centimetres of water or human flesh. Beta particles are emitted from many radioactive elements. They can be stopped by a sheet of aluminium a few millimetres thick.

Cosmic radiation consist of a variety of very energetic particles including protons which bombard the earth from outer space. They are more intense at higher altitudes than at sea level where the earth’s atmosphere is most dense and gives the greatest protection.

Neutrons are particles which are also very penetrating. On earth, they mostly come from the splitting, or fissioning, of certain atoms inside a nuclear reactor. Water and concrete are the most commonly used shields against neutron radiation from the core of the nuclear reactor.

It is important to understand that ionising radiation does not cause the body to become radioactive.

How much ionising radiation is dangerous?

A damage to the body depends of couse on the radiaotion doe to which a person is exposed. The following list gives an indication of the likely effects and implications of a range of radiation doses and dose rates to the whole body:

  • 10,000 mSv (10 sieverts) in a short-term dose would cause immediate illness and subsequent death within a few weeks. Between 2 and 10 sieverts in a short-term dose would cause severe radiation sickness with increasing liklihood that this would be fatal.
  • 1,000 mSv (1 sievert) in a short term dose would probably cause (temporary) illness such as nausea and decreased white blood cell count, but not death. Above this, severity of illness increases with dose. As a dose accumulated over some time, 1000 mSv would probably cause a fatal cancer many years later in 5 of every 100 persons exposed to it (ie. if the normal incidence of fatal cancer were 25%, this dose would increase it to 30%).
  • 50 mSv/yr is, conservatively, the lowest dose rate where there is any evidence of cancer being caused. It is also the dose rate which arisies from natural background levels in several places. Above this, the probability of cancer occurrence (rather than the severity) increases with dose.
  • 20 mSv/yr averaged over 5 years is the limit for nuclear industry employees and uranium or mineral sands miners, who are closely monitored.
  • 10 mSv/yr is about the maximum actual dose rate received by any Australian uranium miner.
  • 3-5 mSv/yr is the typical dose rate (above background) received by uranium miners in Australia and Canada.
  • 3 mSv/yr (approx) is the normal background radiation from natural sources in North America, including an average of almost 2 mSv/yr from radon in air.
  • 2 mSv/yr (approx) is the normal background radiation from natural sources, including an average of 0.7 mSv/yr from radon in air. (1.5 mSv/yr average in Australia is close to the minimum dose received by all humans on earth.
  • 0.3-0.6 mSv/yr is a typical range of dose rates from artificial sources of radiation, mostly medical.
  • 0.05 mSv/yr, a fraction of natural background radiation, is the design target for maximum radiation at the perimeter fence of a nuclear electricity generating station. In practice the actual dose is much less.
Calculated cosmic ray doses to a person flying in subsonic under normal solar condition.

Biological effects of radiation levels

For low levels of radiation exposure the biological effects are so small they cannot be detected. Radiation protection standards assume however that the effect is directly proportional to the dose, even at low levels. According to this ‘linear’ theory of radiation effects, if the dose is halved the effect, or the risk of any effect, is halved. Higher accumulated doses of radiation, while not immediately fatal, may produce a cancer which would only be observed several years after the radiation exposure.
The body has defence mechanisms against damage induced by radiation as well as by chemical carcinogens. However, typically the body has to deal only with a relatively tiny amount of damage at any one time, as opposed to having to deal with a very large amount at once, as was the case for the atomic bomb survivors in 1945. Some allowance has been made for this effect in setting occupational risk estimates, but the degree of protection for low-level radiation exposure may well be greater than these estimates cautiously allow.

Tens of thousands of people in each technically advanced country work in environments where they may be exposed to radiation above background levels. Accordingly they wear monitoring ‘badges’ while at work, and their exposure is carefully monitored.

Background (natural) radiation

Naturally occurring background levels of radiation can typically range from 1.5 to 3.5  millisieverts a year and in some places can be much higher. The highest known level of background radiation affecting a substantial population is in Kerala and Madras States in India where some 140,000 people receive an annual dose rate which averages over 15 millisieverts per year from gamma, plus a similar amount from radon.

Comparable levels ocur in Brazil, Iran and Sudan, with average exposures up to 38 mSv/yr. Four places are known in India and Europe where natural background radiation gives dose rates of more than 50 mSv per year. No adverse health effects have been discerned from doses arising from these high natural levels.

For comparison: The emission (radiation) of an XRAY SHARK® is less than 1/3 of the natural background radiation.

Man-made (artificial) radiation

Ionising radiation is also generated in a range of medical, commercial and industrial activities. The most familiar and, in national terms, the largest of these sources of exposure is medical x-rays. A typical breakdown between natural background and artificial sources of radiation is shown in the pie chart. Natural radiation contributes about 88% of the annual dose to the population and medical procedures most of the remaining 12%. Natural and artificial radiations are not different in kind or effect.

Interesting fact: Inspected food absorps about 100,000 x less radiation than a human during x-ray of his teeth.

Frequently asked questions

  • Will I be exposed to radiation if I stand near the machine?
    The X-ray machine is designed so that the radiation is contained within the system. All CASSEL x-ray devices are built to ensure that they comply with strict current and future radiation exposure levels. The emission (radiation) of most industrially used x-rays is nearly zero. It is less than 1/3 of the natural  background radiation.
  • Is it safe for a pregnant woman to work near the machine?
    Yes. The system is designed to be completely safe for pregnant women to work around.
  • How is the radiation generated?
    The radiation is generated by x-rays, which are generated by using electricity.
  • Is this safer than a radiation source?
    Yes. By turning off the electricity all X-ray generation is stopped. With a radiation source radiation is always being generated. No Cassel machine uses a radiation source.
  • How do I check the machine for radiation?
    A radiation meter is offered as standard and is available for all CASSEL x-ray machines. It is recommended that a radiation survey is conducted at least once a week.
  • Is this the same as irradiated food?
    Irradiated food is where food is exposed to extremely high levels of Radiation (1,000,000 RAD). The design of the CASSEL x-ray system ensures that the food being inspected is exposed to very low levels of radiation (0.01 RAD).
  • Will the food become ‘radioactive’?
    No. It is impossible for food to become radioactive by passing through the system. Inspected food absorps about 100.000x less radiation than a human during x-ray of his teeth.
  • Do I need to declare that the food has been x-rayed?
    No. This is only required for irradiated food.

Health and safety instructions

Safe operation of the equipment will be ensured if you observe the following rules:

The CASSEL x-ray inspection systems have been designed to meet current relevant safety regulations. It is important to ensure the safe operation of the equipment that it is correctly installed  and regularly serviced by a properly trained engineer.

Lent Bumps 2017 Day 1: The best line is "On the wet bit"

Men's 2nd VIII

With M2 successfully qualifying, Corpus had three crews racing on the first day of Lent Bumps, with M2 being first up. After riding high on post-getting on euphoria, M2 had an anti-climactic start to their bumps campaign. By beginning with their boat pointing off-centre, their start finished abruptly when within five strokes they collided with the bank. Caius IV had no issue swiftly claiming their bump. After the race this led M2's coach to repeat the old rowing wisdom of the fastest racing line up the course being "On the wet bit" of the river. Hopefully tomorrow M2 will be able to claw their way back up the division and reclaim their rightful place - or potentially even further; who knows what they’re capable of when they don’t have their bow embedded in the dirt.

Women's 1st VIII

W1 had a fairly unfortunate start to their Lents campaign as they were bumped by Newnham II who caught us after a few minutes off a fantastic start. We too started well, gaining a whistle on Christ's II before the motorway bridge, but Newnham (in this isolated case ;) ) were the better crew. After the bump W1 dutifully rowed home and drowned their sorrows in percy pigs, while members of the bank party threw commiseration chocolate at them as they sat in the queue.

There were no major disasters with their rowing, indeed they enjoyed a good row down and kept high spirits despite the bitter cold! They're looking forward to having another crack at things on Thursday.

Men's 1st VIII

Despite the setbacks of losing crew members this term, Captain Ladbetter's efforts had managed to muster a strong, heavy and experienced crew (and Barney) to take to the water to begin Corpus' Lent Bumps Campaign for 2017. Now over three years into The Great Pilgini's Famous "Five Year Plan" [ref], we are set to face tougher crews and greater uncertainty as we scale to the lofty heights of Division 2.

On paper we are sick: a blonde bombshell from Australia providing a chunky rhythm for the lads, a much slimmed down bow man (who represented Ireland!!) set to trial for the University lightweights next year at just 110 kg of pure Pelican Bar food, and a baked beans and waffle-propelled savage to put the power down in the middle. There are also a few of the usual crabbing suspects including the incoming Captain all the way from Poland, and the chat machine at 3 all the way from Cambridge. A few returning veterans and the weapon that is Barney the Barnacle complete one of the strongest crews Corpus have ever seen.

Unfortunately, Jesus II were sicker. Rumours circulating that a strong fresher intake displaced many of their M1 hopefuls to their M2, these boys had a point to prove and set out hard on Selwyn, catching them convincingly by Grassy. With Darwin behind being bumped early by FaT II, who have clearly been training as well as just dicking around on BumpIt, Corpus had a lot of clear water around them once they hit the Reach. It was a solid row over for the crew which "Have such good chat I thought they were a banter barge" (Denise, 55) but also "Row so well I thought they were in Div 1" (Eric, 12). And with noticeable gains on Caius II down the reach, it was a decent result for day 1.

In a post-race interview with Captain Lidladbetski, all he had to say was "I will miss Jan next term, he's really good at rowing and has solid chat. We look forward to Thursday where the next phase of the 5 year plan is implemented: Operation Steer the Right Wei to victory".

Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak Rips Mark Zuckerberg, Pumps Bitcoin

Steve Wozniak, Apple, Bitcoin
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak isn't a fan of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg anymore but he is a big supporter of bitcoin. | Source: REUTERS/Cathal McNaughton (NORTHERN IRELAND

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is not a crypto investor, but praised bitcoin for its “massive value creation.” He also trashed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, saying he lost respect for the billionaire amid the social media monopoly’s epic data-breach scandal.

Wozniak made the bombshell remarks in a February 26 interview with Bloomberg (see video below, starting at 4:08).

Woz: Bitcoin Created Huge Value, Despite Bear Market

When asked if he still believes that bitcoin will emerge as the world’s single currency despite the Crypto Winter, Woz says remains a bitcoin bull.

“I’m not sure I buy that we’ve seen ‘massive value destruction.’ I think we’ve seen massive value creation.”

In June 2018, Wozniak said he wants bitcoin to emerge as the world’s single currency. At the time, Wozniak said he was attracted to the “pure” idea that people from all around the world could share a single currency despite being geographically dispersed.

“I buy into what Jack Dorsey says. It’s not that I necessarily believe it’s going to happen, but I want it to be that way. That is so pure thinking.”

Woz echoed the sentiments of Twitter billionaire Jack Dorsey, who believes the original cryptocurrency will supplant all other currencies within the next decade.

Sold Bitcoin Holdings During Bull Market

Despite Wozniak’s pro-crypto stance, he no longer owns any bitcoin. Woz — whose net worth tops $100 million — said he once held “a lot bitcoin,” but only to experiment with it, not to make money from it as an investor.

When the bitcoin price soared to record highs during the 2017 bull market, Wozniak sold it all. Why? Because he didn’t want to be one of those anguished crypto traders who wring their hands every time the price fluctuates.

“When it went up high, I didn’t want to be one of those people [obsessively] watching the bitcoin price, so I sold out,” Woz said. “I don’t know where it is now, but it’s way over what I bought it at.”

Woz: I Lost Respect for Mark Zuckerberg

Separately, Steve Wozniak said he’s disgusted with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly violating user privacy by selling their personal data to third parties without their consent — for years.

“I lost a lot of respect for Mark Zuckerberg watching him speak, and supposedly taking some steps that are nothing. I don’t trust that.”

As reported, the US Federal Trade Commission is considering slapping Facebook with a “record-setting” fine for its massive data-breach debacle.

The FTC has been investigating Facebook since last year amid bombshell revelations that it failed to protect the privacy of its allegedly 2 billion monthly users.

In March 2018, Facebook was rocked by allegations that it improperly allowed UK data analysis firm Cambridge Analytica to access the personal data of as many as 87 million users without their consent.

Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak Quit Facebook

Facebook is accused of violating a 2011 consent decree under which it agreed to get user permission before sharing their data with third parties.

Many users were furious when they discovered that the company had been secretly selling their personal data without their consent.

Actor Will Ferrell and Playboy magazine deleted their accounts, saying they were alarmed by Facebook’s gross misuse of user data.

Billionaire Elon Musk also deleted the accounts of his companies, Tesla and SpaceX. Musk said Facebook always gave him the creeps.

“It’s not a political statement and I didn’t do this because someone dared me to do it,” Musk tweeted. “Just don’t like Facebook. Gives me the willies.”

Wozniak: Facebook Should Be Regulated

Similarly, Steve Wozniak said he deleted his Facebook account amid its mushrooming user-privacy scandal. Woz pointed out that location-technology company Foursquare has not exploited its users for fistfuls of dirty cash.

“Foursquare have been offered millions of dollars for data on their users. And they turned it down because it was unethical. So you can draw the line at a good place and not a bad place.”

When asked if the government should regulate Facebook due to its privacy-breach debacle, Wozniak said yes. “That kind of regulation we need some of. The United States is way behind Europe on recognizing a lot of these issues on data privacy.”

JoAnne: Q:

[CPT Code Lookup] Can someone please discuss the 99211 CPT Code?

A: 99211 is defined as an office or outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient that may not require the presence of a physician. Presenting problems are minimal, five minutes is typically the time spent performing or supervising the service.

Physicians don’t typically use the 99211, it really was intended more for a nurse or a medical assistant. Unlike other office visits, the 99211 does not have any specific key component documentation requirements. The patient has to be established. There’s some degree of medical decision making that takes place. But if a clinical need is not substantiated, you cannot bill it.

Discussion of CPT Code Lookup 99211 – Video

The big difference here between Medicare and other insurances or CPT, is that in CPT, the presence of a physician is not required. A lot of insurance companies follow that guideline. Medicare says a physician must be in the office suite, which means it’s like billing incident-to, they have to be within shouting distance, not across the path of the hospital and not by cell phone, they have to be in the office.

When to Not Use 99211; Examples – The patient comes in once a month for B-12 injection and the doctor just gave a shot and that’s it; then, you’re billing a 96372 with a HCPCS J3420 for the B-12, and that’s it! If a patient walks in with a little bottle of allergy serum and the nurse gives her a shot, there’s no 99211. If you’re picking up a script, dropping off urinalysis, even if it is face-to-face, it’s not 99211.

When to bill 99211 – If a patient is seen by a nurse because of urinary burning and frequency, the nurse takes a quick look, focused history, reviews the medical record, and orders a urinalysis. He has an infection, shows to the doctor, the doctor writes a script. But it’s really a very quick visit.

If the physician requests the patient to go into the office for a blood pressure check because he has problems with hypertension, that qualifies for 99211. If the patient calls for a visit because he has clinical indications that his blood pressure is off the map, that is a clinical indication you can bill. But I know for a fact that small, little country doctors and on in the islands, everyone knows everybody, a patient just walks in and say, “Hey, doc, can you check my blood pressure?” That doesn’t cut it; so you can’t bill 99211 for that. That’s very important.

What I do want to stress though is that there are some doctors that think they can get away with this, they’ll tell the nurse, do the vitals, bill a 99211 with the B-12 shot. But when the insurance pays, write off the copayment, you cannot do that, it is totally illegal. The physician has a contract with the insurance company and he’s breaking his contract, and if the patient doesn’t pay, they are breaking their contract. I haven’t seen one doctor in my lifetime go to court because they didn’t collect copayments for their patients. So, don’t play that game, it’s not worth taking that risk. That’s basically it for 99211.

Alicia: I’ve seen that happen too, it was really difficult to try to explain why that…

JoAnne: They get angry because they’ll say, “I was just in there for a shot, why do I have to pay $25 copay?” They don’t like it.

Alicia:And the office staff or the physician thinks they’re giving you a discount by making you do that.

Indonesian tourism to beat Thailand in 5 years

  • Tourism Minister Arief Yahya says growth in the Indonesian tourist industry may surpass that of Thailand within the next five years.
  • Indonesia welcomed some 14 million foreign tourists in 2017, with contribution to the state revenue at around USD15.2bn, while Thailand welcomed 35 million foreign tourists in the same year with contribution to the country’s state revenue at USD45bn.

ALL FOCUS: Australia's Taylor Worth at the 2012 Games.
ALL FOCUS: Australia's Taylor Worth at the 2012 Games. Marcio Jose Sanchez

Worth aiming high in archery competition

THERE was excitement tinged with sadness for Taylor Worth when Australia's three-man men's archery team was announced.

Brisbane-based Worth was in it, but not his great mate and mentor Matthew Gray.

"Four of us who were in the running for the final three spots are all close mates,” he told Australian Regional Media. "Unfortunately, four doesn't go into three really well.

"It was always going to be hard to say goodbye to someone.

"When I was told I was being nominated for the Olympic team in that third spot, it was a bitter-sweet moment, because my first thought was how was Matt, how is he going.

"Rather than celebrating my spot, I was worried about my teammate and good friend.”

Worth was 19 when he joined Gray in the men's team to win gold at the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games.

"He's been amazing ... a major support for me over the years,” Worth said of the 42-year-old three-time Olympian (1996, 2000, 2008).

"I hope he's really doing well at the moment and I hope we don't lose him to the sport after this.”

Joining Worth in Rio will be Victorian Alec Potts and Queenslander Ryan Tyack.

Worth said it would be good to be part of a team again after going to London as Australia's sole male archer, when he beat American World No.1 Brady Ellison on the way to finishing ninth in the men's recurve.

"We've gotten a lot closer working together as a team,” he said.

"If someone's having an off day, we know how to either give them space when they need it or help pick them up when they need it.

"I've got the experience of going to an Olympic Games, a multi-sport event, so I can pass on cues and helpful hints for in and around the village, but the other two guys on the team are very experienced as well.

"They know exactly what they need to do in competition.”

It hasn't been an easy ride for Worth, however. He relocated from his home in Perth to Brisbane two years ago to work more closely with national coach Ya Ping Shih.

"There were plenty of moments when I didn't think this was going to happen in these past four years, from not being sure whether I would continue competing after London to having a rocky finish to our selection procedure,” he said.

"I've gone from almost a career-worst (performance) at the first World Cup event this year in China (when 57th) to one of my career bests (ninth, again in Shanghai).

"I've had a very up and down season so far.”

Having claimed the quota spot for the team event in Rio when they were eighth at the 2015 world championships in Copenhagen, the Aussie trio competed at the Rio test event to familiarise themselves with the Sambodromo, where the famous Carnival is held.

It will be another unique experience for Worth, who competed at Lord's cricket ground in 2012.

"Being able to walk out on to Lord's - the hallowed turf - where no other sport in history has competed on apart from cricket, it was an awesome experience,” he said.

Pain is no longer pain when it is in the past

Do you have chronic back pain?
Do you feel pain in your neck?
Have a headache?
Do you feel tired all the time?
Do you get sick easily?
Do you have poor posture?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, try a Ceragem. You will be amazed at the results. Ceragem is an FDA approved 510K device for pain relief and stress reduction and has sold over 2,000,000 in more than 74 countries.

Ceragem is a far infrared medical device that does acupuncture, moxibustion, massage and chiropractic practice simultaneously. Far infrared rays are widely used in alternative treatments to increase core body temperature, combat inflammation, and promote blood circulation. Research shows that our immune system is boosted up to five times when our core body temperature rises 2 degrees. It is also used in various medical devices including incubators.

When Ceragem shoots far infrared rays at acupuncture points, the rays penetrate the body up to 12 centimeters, vibrate and stimulate the cells. This stimulates circulation through the acupuncture points and induces more fluid blood flow. Moxibustion has been claimed to be especially effective in treating chronic problems such as “poor conditions” (weakness).

By raising the spine, Ceragem stretches and widens the disk space little by little. Continuous use will relieve back and neck pain. It is believed that 80% of our diseases come from an incorrect posture of the spine, a deformed spine and compressed discs. Spinal treatment will help relieve pain in the neck, lower back, and sciatica.

The most modern Ceragem model is equipped with artificial intelligence. Scan the spine and customize the treatment. There are six different intensity levels and 10 programs for treatment of the entire spine as well as manual operation for specific areas. It is as if you have a chiropractor, massage therapist and acupuncturist at home to always serve you.

Please wear bright red
The American Southwest and the Rocky Mountains at the moment are thick with hunters trying to slay elk and deer. Some districts are currently opened to bow hunters; others are, or soon will be, open to rifle hunters. People seeking the Forrest Fenn treasure should wear a very bright, "non-natural" color so that hunters will be less likely to mistake them for legitimate prey. There are a bloody hell of a lot of stupid, lazy people out there with guns at the moment, and most of them are loaded down with alcohol.

Up at Murph's Hole, Colorado, I caught two bow hunters cutting a barbed-wire fence, around 4:40 AM Thursday. I snuck up on them in the dark, like Rambo, and demanded to know why they were cutting the fence when the gate a few dozen feet away was not locked. They jumped on their ATVs and fled.

Good on ya, Desertphile! Unethical as I may be as a treasure hunter, I am an ethical hunter. I hope you scared the bejeebers out of them!

@Stephanie hikers are just as entitled as hunters. I once decided to confront the occupants of a vehicle that was driving past camp with the stereo blasting during hunting season. The end result was that the two female occupants got out of the vehicle and flashed me!

So NTMI were you like a frozen deer staring into headlights then? Were they low or high beams?

Canine Psychology & Shaping Behavior: Part 3 – Principles of Motivation

We recommend that if you haven’t already, you watch the following prior to watching this video and reading this article:

Welcome to Part 3 of Canine Psychology & Shaping Behavior

Think about your everyday life, think about the decisions that you are considering and the choices that you are making and the actions that you are taking. When you really break down behavior, just about every behavioral decision is predicated by some sort of motivating source. Do I work hard today because I have the opportunity for a bonus, or am I lazy today because I think I can get away with it? Motivation can be both positive and negative.

In the world of canine psychology there are many parallels to humans and how we think about motivation. This video looks at the 4 key things to consider when looking to motivate your dog to learn and develop better skills and a more reliable character.

Let’s go through the 4 principles one by way with a few examples:

Principle 1: It’s all about currency.

Imagine if your boss came up to you today at the office and said, “I’m not going to pay you in cash this month, instead I’m going to drop off a truckload of sand at your front door of equal value”. How would that make you feel, probably a bit demotivating right, maybe a little bit annoying?

When we start working with our dog it is absolutely essential that we take some time to figure out what is the “currency” that best motivates our dog. Some dogs love food, what kind of food works best and has the most value? Alternatively, is there a particular toy that they just go bonkers for instead? Having an open mind and spending a little bit of time on this early will save you a lot of effort down the road.

Principle 2: It’s all about relative value.

Every city is the same, there is an expressway out to the airport, and in just about every trip out to the airport you can see someone who is running late and is “burning rubber” straight down the emergency lane. Despite this being illegal, the punishment for the behavior is so low that it rarely makes an impact on that driver who is in their expensive car and in a hurry to catch a flight. If however, the rules were shaken up a little bit, and anybody who was caught driving down the emergency lane now had their car thrown in the river, perhaps this would make them think twice. All of a sudden missing the flight isn’t quite as important is it!

When working with our pups, making sure that we understand the relative value of the various elements of the environment that they are in (the sights, smells, sounds, feelings etc), and ensuring that relative value of what we are offering them is higher, we will start to see results. If what we offer is of lower relative value (either rewarding or aversive), we cannot realistically expect to see any change in their behavior.

Principle 3: It’s all about reliability of the outcome.

There you are sitting at work…on the 1st of the month every month for the last 20 months your best client has been buying 10 widgets and then been paying you immediately after receipt of the goods. This month however, the client calls you and says, “this month I’m going to need 3 days to pay you”. Because you already had 20 months of extremely reliable trade with your client, you do not have any concerns about giving him the extra time, you already have an existing relationship, and a habit of delivering the goods and being paid. On the flip side however, if a brand new client that you don’t know asked for extended payment terms, you may be less inclined to agree, as you are not as confident about that outcome.

At its core, shaping your dog’s behavior has the same needs, when they are learning a new behavior or skill, then need to be repeatedly and reliably reinforced that what is happening is “good” and that this is something that they want to continue to do. After many many many many many times of being reliably and consistently reinforced, they develop the habit of a behavior and will be less concerned about the payment coming immediately. The same applies with aversive outcomes, only if they are delivered in a reliable consistent fashion will the dog understand that the outcome has a direct relationship with the behavior.

Principle 4: It’s all about what the dog wants at THAT point in time.

There you are dying of thirst in the desert with no phone, no chance of rescue and no water…you stumble across a sign that says “Here is 10 million dollars, take it, have fun!!!” Then there is a box of cash sitting there below the sign. On any normal day, finding 10mill would be amazing and you would be insane to swap it for a bottle of water, but at that point in time, given your circumstances (about to die), most reasonable people would change that 10mill in for a bottle of water without a second thought.

The above is a severe example, but gives us some insight to how behavior is warped by circumstance and environment. A dog in a high stress, high danger, high anxiety or high excitement environment has a great deal of difficulty learning because they have trouble processing any new information when their attention is entirely focused on something else. To get the best results in training, we need to start with a simple environment and few distractions and gradually make it more and more complex. Only once the dog is showing very high levels of confidence in a particular environment, and happily ignores the surrounding distractions should we be changing up the location or complexity of the situation. Going too far too fast is setting your dog up to fail, and reduces the chance substantially that they will be learn and improve.

Found this article interesting or useful even? Support our CSR efforts by taking a look at Chateau Canine’s Social Responsibility Initiatives and see how you can change a street dog’s life, just by buying a toy / treat / food for your own dog! That sounds Barking Awesome doesn’t it 😉

Molecular orbitals of transition metal complexes

Molecular orbitals of transition metal complexes
Yves Jean
Oxford, UK; Oxford University Press | ISBN 0198530935 | 2005 | 275pp | ?39.95
Reviewed by Malcolm Halcrow

The most important single influence on the shape, spectroscopy and reactivity of a transition metal compound is the distribution of electrons within its frontier d-orbitals. This book explains these phenomena, by deriving and applying the frontier molecular orbitals of transition metal complexes from orbital overlap and symmetry arguments. Its pedagogical and qualitative approach avoids equations but uses character tables where appropriate. As an aid to the latter, a condensed introduction to group theory is also provided.

The book can be split almost evenly into two halves. First, d-orbital splittings are derived for transition ions with a wide range of coordination geometries and ligand types.

These arguments are then expanded to show how orbital effects control the conformations and reactions of organometallic and coordination compounds. Electrostatic (crystal field) and steric effects are largely ignored during these discussions. Curiously, so is the Jahn-Teller effect.

The book is a translation from French, which has resulted in a few oddities in terminology. One that takes getting used to is the abbreviation of molecular orbital in its singular and plural forms as MO (rather than MOs). There is a modest smattering of typos and a few more serious errors. For example, the existence of high-spin and low-spin structures is not limited to d4, d5 and d6 complexes in an octahedral geometry; d7 compounds can show them as well.

The book is aimed at students and is laid out like the successful Oxford University Press primer series of undergraduate texts. It is a useful reference book for an academic transition metal chemist and it would be a good library purchase.

However, since d-block chemistry is usually taught in UK universities starting from crystal field theory, rather than by this kind of angular overlap approach, it may not find much use as a student textbook.

• Chocolate Spiders! Posted on October 12, 2015

    Chocolate Spiders! These are made from chocolate plastic, an ingenious product with a terrible name. It’s made from only 2 ingredients, chocolate and corn syrup, but has an almost fondant-like texture and is good for sculpting things and covering cakes. I formed the bodies out of chocolate plastic, then made little legs from chocolate candy coating. They were the perfect touch to my spooky sweets.

    They look great on the spiderweb cupcakes from the same page!

International Student Comments & Student Profiles

This page is part of the International Students (EU and non-EU) section on the Christ's College, Cambridge website. It shares the thoughts and experiences of current international students and provides a window onto student life here.

Student Q&A film
The student Q&A film includes Varvara from Australia
and Ardon from Singapore

Quick Comments from our international students

“I think once I got my head around the difference of the UK approach – Cambridge's focusing far more on a passion for your course and on thinking deeply and critically about your subject - applying to Cambridge was much less daunting. I found settling in to life at Christ's and the rhythm of Cambridge to be fairly quick, as everyone arrives in Cambridge not really knowing what to expect – you don't feel any more out of place than a student coming from somewhere in the UK.”

Rosie - History and Politics (Washington, US)

"I was worried that studying for Spanish 'Bachillerato' rather than A-levels or IB would look bad on my application, but it didn't matter.  At Cambridge they look for the best students, and you get an outstanding academic education. Moreover, university life here also differs a lot from what you would get in Spain, it involves much more than the academic part: societies, sports and living in College. You have friends from all over the world, but there is also a nice Spanish community university-wide. Life at Christ's is amazing, it wasn't hard to settle in at all, and I would truly recommend applying!"

Maria - Mathematics (Madrid, Spain).

Read more from Maria in her student profile.

"Cambridge and Christ's are both amazing places to be an international student. The college has plenty of international students who I met right when I arrived, and there is a small army of college staff who genuinely care about ensuring we get all the support we need. The University has an active Brazilian society, and there's even a Brazilian stall in the town's market that sells pão de queijo and guaraná!"

Jack - Human, Social and Political Sciences (São Paulo, Brazil). Read more in Jack's student profile.

"Christ's college is a very friendly environment. I have found that having friends you can trust not only makes settling at Christ's easier but also makes your study at Cambridge much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Christ's College."

Chisom - Engineering (Abuja, Nigeria)

 Sign up for the EU webinar on 8 October

"Moving abroad for university was something that excited me, however I was also a bit worried about settling in, meeting new people and making new friends. Nevertheless, Cambridge has been great in making me feel welcome. From a brilliantly organised international fresher’s week that gave me some time to fit in while also meeting people from college who were going through the same experience of moving abroad, to the College Family system- I was never short of support and company. I strongly feel that Christ’s College has done a great job in welcoming me, and the College system is amazing as you are able to develop deeper friendships in the College community. The College staff is always kind and helpful. In addition, the central location of College and the Upper Hall where I could eat and talk with friends daily, made socialising much easier. Throughout the year, College events helped me have fun and relax. If you are a student from abroad, I definitely recommend Christ’s. You will feel like home."

Anissa - Medicine (Nicosia, Cyprus). Read more from Anissa in her student profile and see our country-specific page for students from Cyprus

Christ's is a good choice for a college. Education which depends on the college side (mainly supervisions) is great. Also college provides good accommodation and is in a quite convenient, yet not very crowded, central part of town. Moving here was not difficult at all as the college staff was quite helpful."

Antanas - Mathematics (Vilnius, Lithuania)

"I didn't know what to expect, but I am pleased with what Christ's turned out to be. Both socially and academically, there is not a thing that has disappointed me here, and I have received all the support I asked for."

Simeon - Computer Science (Yambol, Bulgaria). Read more from Simeon in his student profile and see our country-specific page for students from Bulgaria.

"The admissions team were extraordinarily helpful and encouraging throughout the whole process, helping me put to rest many of the concerns I had about applying with less common international qualifications.”

Martin - Offer holder for Economics (Copenhagen, Denmark). See our country-specific page for students from Denmark.

"You will be surprised how much Christ‘s College and Lithuania have in common. This is not only due to a considerable fraction of Lithuanian students who choose to study at Christ‘s (currently ~10), but also because of quite a few Lithuanian alumni of the college. One of the most known alumni of the college is Dr Yusuf Hamied. He has partial Lithuanian origins and was born in Lithuanian capital Vilnius in 1936. Dr Hamied is a chairman of the biggest pharmaceuticals company in India, and, therefore, he is amongst most honorouble people of Christ‘s College. A huge theatre in the New Court is even named after him.

"Christ‘s College is one of the most successful in terms of academic results, and this is reflected in the Tompkins Table (1st place for 2017-18!). This college may offer you help in your academic development via competent Directors of Studies and supervisors. Hard work should be rewarded and Christ‘s College knows that. There are many monetary funds to encourage students taking e.g. summer internships (Long Vacation Travel Grant) and many others. If you‘re getting a first class result, you may also expect some financial award. There is a certain scholarship called Blyth Eastern European Bursary established for students from Eastern European countries and the Baltic States who have successfully participated in any international science olympiad and won a medal. If this applies to you, you will straightaway get an award provided you are admitted to the college.

"Last but not least, there is a friendly atmosphere among Christ‘s students, also among the students and the staff. You will meet very kind people like nurse and chaplain, a very bright librarian for whom it took 5 seconds to identify my Lithuanian origins judging from the name ending, and, surely you will meet many charming squirrels each time you enter the Fellows‘ Garden."

Gilbertas - Natural Sciences (Klaipėda, Lithuania)

"Hey! I am Arqum Anwar from Karachi, Pakistan and I recently graduated with a B.A. in Natural Sciences. As the first in my family to study abroad, I remember feeling excited yet angsty when applying to Cambridge. Although I chose Christ’s without attending an open day, I have found it to be a welcoming community of students and educators. From my own time as the International Officer of the student union (the JCR), I have seen the position being used more proactively to support international students and their welfare. The college has also been keen to cater to my religious needs, for example, with meals during Ramadan. If you are a Pakistani student considering to apply, know that there are several resources and many helpful faces to help you settle in. I am excited to know that another student from my school will be joining Christ’s next year and I hope the number of Pakistanis, local or internationals, continues to increase."

Arqum - Natural Sciences (Karachi, Pakistan). Read more from Arqum in his student profile.

"At first glance it seems pretty intimidating to move to a foreign country, away from everything you know. I think it's really important to not be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone to meet people. Everything about life and studying in England seemed a bit foreign at first, so I think it's important to ask if you don't understand something - even if it's just a pop culture reference. People are happy to help, so you shouldn't be embarrassed!"

Diana - Human, Social and Political Sciences (Poland). Read more from Diana in her student profile and see our country-specific page for students from Poland.

"I like all the nature in the college, like the fish, birds, squirrels and ducks."

Elise - Geography (Zurich, Switzerland). Read more from Elise in her student profile.

"Christ’s College, is a college that I have found most friendly and easiest to settle in / get used to for Chinese applicants. Given its moderate size, the procedure for everything is straightforward and paperwork is minimum. This college has the best students’ canteen among all the colleges that I know, in case you cannot or are not interested in cooking for yourselves. Christ’s is also one among the few colleges that offer options to not vacate your room for vacations even if you are not here - a feature of envy for every single one of my friends’ from outside college.

I find it one of the best choices I have ever made to come to this college. It is a place you can call home."

Tianhou - Engineering (Harbin, China)

"I have met so many new friends from different countries at Christ’s, and spending time with them has been enjoyable. Having the gym two-minute walk from my room, it was fantastic! Furthermore, the older students, my tutor and my college family made me feel as if I was at home. The formal hall is a great place to invite friends from other colleges as well as to celebrate your birthday."

Neophytos - Medicine (Egkomi, Nicosia - Cyprus). Read more from Neophytos in his student profile and see our country-specific page for students from Cyprus

"Christ's is really homely - just the right size so you don't feel overwhelmed, yet not so small that you are unable to find anyone with things in common with you. There's a really lovely network of international students here - last Chinese New Year the Christ's Southeast Asians got together for steamboat in one of our rooms. Last year we had six Malaysian freshers - it was nice to see familiar faces and hear familiar slang 😉 . I'm really happy to be at Christ's!"

Emily - Law (Ipoh, Malaysia). Read more from Emily in her student profile and see our country-specific page for students from Malaysia.

"Being an international student at Christ's, I feel really welcome here and don't regret choosing it. Since the number of Lithuanians in College grows really quickly, it's easy to find someone to chat with in your native language at any time.

Elvinas - Natural Sciences Physical (Mažeikiai, Lithuania)

When I arrived, I found the College to be visually beautiful but also quite cosy and shielded away from the busy streets outside, which meant that it felt like my "home away from home" much sooner than I had expected.

Belinda - Geography (the Eastern district of Hong Kong). Read more from Belinda in her student profile and see our country-specific page for students from Hong Kong.

"My favourite spot in college is probably the chapel, I am neither Christian nor religious, but I have had some of my loveliest evenings there watching my friends sing in the choir, or participating in or watching concerts and recitals. It’s a beautiful, serene setting and I am always left in awe of all the talented musicians Christ’s has."

Mira - Education (Mumbai, India). Read more from Mira in her student profile.

"Being a Malaysian expat living in Dubai for about 10 years has people at Cambridge intrigued about how life in Dubai is. They have been excited to hear stories of the vibrant city of Dubai and the UAE, especially those who have never been there. This has been the simplest ice-breaking topic for me in making new friends at Cambridge.

I have made many wonderful friends in my first year at Cambridge and this has really changed my overall perception of life there. The welcoming and friendly environment at this university got rid of any nervousness I had before coming to Cambridge.

In the end, moving to Cambridge (and Christ’s) was much easier than I thought. With everything being only 2-3 minutes away, there is no question that Christ’s, with its inclusiveness, is the college to be in.

I therefore encourage more students from the UAE to apply into Cambridge, particularly to Christ’s College, and to be part of the exciting community here."

Amritz - Engineering (Dubai, UAE)

"Coming to a new country all by yourself is already very intimidating, more so when the place that you are going to is Cambridge. However, Christ's college provided me with a lot of support that I needed when it comes to academic writing, which really helped me to improve the quality of my work. Our college is willing to provide all the support that you need to ensure you wellbeing and that you could achieve the best that you could, all the staff that I have encountered so far are all very supportive and enthusiastic. Also, Christ's college is allocated at the centre of the city, which is well suited for people like me who lived my whole life in a busy, vibrant city like Hong Kong!"

Katherine - Psychological and Behavioural Sciences (Sha Tin, Hong Kong). See the country-specific page for students from Hong Kong

“The lovely people here, the caring staff, and the inspiring fellows make Christ’s a very special place to study – and all the hard work worthwhile.”

Frederik - Human, Social and Political Sciences (Vedbaek, Denmark).  Read more from Frederik in his student profile and see our country-specific page for students from Denmark

"Most of my friends are from Christ’s, and I feel like every time I sit down in the college cafeteria for dinner I end up learning something new by talking with other students."

Pascual - Geography (Colombia / Washington, US). Read more from Pascual in his student profile.

"Remember that good marks are a necessity but not a guarantee for admission. If you develop your academic interests further by exploring relevant maths/science concepts in your spare time or getting involved in projects, this can be a key indicator that you are not just a good student who reads the books and solves the problems, but a curious scientist-to-be who can’t keep the excitement in. Read about the topics that interest you most and perhaps start a project like building a computer game or an RC car (alone or with friends from school), or go after relevant summer experience to get a feel for the field you’re about to go into and naturally add to your bio – this should be fun and interesting for you regardless of your CV and Cambridge application."

Stratos - Natural Sciences (Athens, Greece). Read more from Stratos in his student profile.

"I am a bit of a pseudo-international. I'm from New York, but I'm a dual US-UK citizen and before Cambridge, I went to boarding school in the UK. I think what I enjoy most at Christ's is that feeling you get when it starts to feel like home. So, whether I’m walking to lectures, heading to the library, or sitting and reading for a short period in the Fellows' Garden at a certain point it all begins to feel comfortable and even comforting. I was quite surprised at how quickly I was able to begin to feel that way. I find that simple things like feeling comfortable actually have a larger impact on your overall enjoyment than anything more specific and tangible."

The Heart of Mission – Thessalonian Style

In one of the most heartfelt of Paul’s letters, he writes his much-loved church at Thessalonica to encourage them to walk with Christ until He returns. Enemies of the gospel had forced Paul to flee the city, but they couldn’t prevent the Apostle from caring for and praying for these people he had poured his life into. Paul sent Timothy to check on the fledgling church and was so encouraged by Timothy’s good report of their growing faith, despite great opposition, that he sent this letter we know as 1 Thessalonians from Corinth.

Hallam Park Redevelopment Project

The City of Mahtomedi completed tree removals at the park site last week. The trees that were removed were either in in poor condition and were a safety hazard, were an undesirable plant species or were in areas proposed for improvements. New landscaping will be installed as part of the construction project.

In early to mid-June, the primary construction efforts at the park will begin. Construction hours begin at 7:00 am and end at 7:00 pm and include removal of the existing site features and replacement of new trails, basketball half court and playground. We request your patience during the time of construction as there will be varying times of noise generation, construction traffic and periodic times of limited access along Hallam Ave N. It will be the project team’s goal to minimize impacts during construction activities and as with all construction projects, patience and communication are the greatest assets to completing a successful project.

Thank you for your continued patience as we work to improve Hallam Park for your future enjoyment and if you have questions, you can reach out to Candace Amberg at 612-518-3694 or camberg@wsbeng.com.
