The Role of Comorbidity in the Crisis of the Current Psychiatric Classification System

The present paper discusses the problem of psychiatric comorbidity within the context of Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions. A conceptual analysis is carried out to clarify the role of those philosophical implicit positions that influence the empirical problems related to comorbidity. Psychiatric comorbidity is an artifactual byproduct of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) classification because of its internal characteristics. The authors of the DSM-III tried to handle comorbidity by adding hierarchical exclusion rules, but many exclusion rules were deleted in subsequent DSM revisions for philosophical reasons (prevalence of empiricism on conventionalism). The consequent explosion of comorbidity rates led the DSM toward a scientific crisis. Three possible intra-paradigmatic solution strategies are considered (disorders lumping, reintroduction of exclusion rules, and liberalization of comorbidity). The first two strategies might be efficacious but theoretically unacceptable. The third would be in line with the empiricist requirements, but its practical effect (dramatic increase of comorbidity rates) would exacerbate the crisis of the DSM pressing for a "revolutionary" solution. Finally, the waited effect on comorbidity of three alternative models (etiopathogenetic diagnosis, spectrum, and dimensional diagnosis) is briefly considered.

This was a pretty Bad Ova Overall. its looks and sounds fine on paper it even sounds interesting. Unfortunately translating this to a Ova was not a good thing. Reading the Synopsis you can clearly see where the draw for most people would be in that its based on many video game references but they are pretty poor and not well referenced. This Ova had some interesting ideas but they failed to make it into anything noteworthy and the product suffers even more because of it.

The Greatest Flaw of this anime is the characters cause you just cant grow to like them at all. Theres read more

If you are looking for a good anime with an engaging story, interesting characters, stunning artwork and an overall epic soundtrack then this anime is not for you, and let me tell you why.

Aoi Sekai no Chuusin de also known as World War Blue is the anime equivalent of a Nintendo vs Sega parody done by 5th Avenue, now you would think by that statement that this would be an over the top, comedic anime with many humorous references to Sega and Nintendo. However instead of taking this route it decides to go into an in-depth serious tone which does not suit the mood of read more

So, I don't usually write reviews, but I was bored so here.
For those of you who don't know Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de (Aka World War Blue) is an anime based on the console wars of the early 90's, however, since copyright is a bitch, they had to create their OC's that somewhat resemble the characters.
The story, like I just said, is based on the console wars of the early 90's, which is a good concept, however, the pace is absurdly rushed with almost no character development what-so-ever, also, barely anything happens besides Soni- I mean Gear joining an Army, taking out a third-party base read more

Since I recently finished what is now my favorite anime, xxxHolic, and I have a tendency to start a show I end up hating after I discover what becomes my favorite anime, I decided to try and watch something short that looked really bad so I wouldn't waste too much time; so, I chose to watch this show. Man what a mistake that was!

What is Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de (which translates to mean World War Blue, and as such, I will be referring to the series as it's translated name), you might ask? Well, have you seen Excel Saga? Have you read more

My simplistic thought about oil prices

How far can oil prices go? This has been the question that my wife and children and most people ask nowadays. Well, the answer could vary depending on whom you are talking to.

Looking at it in the most simplistic way, say based on the reasons given by companies or businessmen – prices go up because oil prices go up, it is quite easy to assume that prices could go even higher for the simple reason that oil producers are also dependent on their own products. Suffice to say that as the price of oil goes higher, the price of products needed to produce oil also rise.

The loop therefore creates an effect to everything related to oil stretching as far as the oil producers themselves thereby making it even more expensive to locate, extract & produce that oil. Which in turn, causes even higher oil prices, which again raises the cost of oil production.

The compounding effect therefore affects everything else which in turn could further push the prices higher.

Forget about how the governments, dealers and traders, investors and speculators and oil producers do with regards to oil prices. The bottom line here is that oil prices affect everything.

So what shall we do? It is all up to us. If you can earn more than enough then it is fine.

Oh well, the cockroaches said, who cares.

This made me smile somehow

I received an e-mail from an employee of the company that I hate and like, or like and hate depending on the situation I am into.

I like the company because it has given me the means to spend big bucks without having to carry bundles of cash inside my pocket. (As if I have a lot to carry around, LOL)

I hate the company because some people there were cheaters and stupid enough to spend a lot of money to contribute to global warming by wasting glossy papers just to tell all customers and prospective customers that they will bring the lucky one to the edge of the earth, which of course is a BIG LIE, A BIG LIE and THE BIGGEST LIE EVER!

And so, NOBODY won because there wasn’t any at all – A FARCE, a shameful promotional gimmick by a prestigious company!

Well, forget about the BIG LIE of the prestigious company that I like and hate. Let me just share the lines printed at the bottom page of that e-mail that says:

Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail – Save paper.

I tell you this made me smile today because this simple statement could or would [perhaps] make a difference.

So, let me repeat the statement  with my favorite line added to it.

Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail – Save paper. Help Save Mother Earth.

Perhaps some of you would wonder why? I know, I am always like this, magulo. But, don’t mind me please, just continue reading and please consider these:

How many sheets of paper come from a single tree?

A woman’s cry

Friday, 09 May 2008

For a very long time, I have not seen a real woman cry in front of me.

The feeling is heavy. It is so unbearable to see those tears dropping continuously from her eyes down to her pale cheeks. Her silent sob is deafening. It melts me.

I thought I am used to this because of Pinoy drama and MMK (Maalala Mo Kaya) over TFC but I was totally mistaken.

Perhaps I was away too long from this reality. I tell you, it sent shivers to my bone.

Perhaps it is because I know her husband and knowing that a friend, an officemate is in comatose completes the real drama and the chill.

Perhaps it is the realization that life is very short. (Kanina lang!)

Perhaps it is really hard to see a woman cry.

Sunday, 11 May 2008

On Mother’s Day, my friend left – not in another country as an OFW but in another form to a place where we all must go.

Who would you choose?

“Between the one you love and the one who loves you, who would you choose?”

I heard this line from TFC (The Filipino Channel) while brushing my teeth.

With my age now, of course I know whom I would choose.

But oh, please do not ask me again. I might change my mind and take them both or take them all. Ha ha ha.

You, who would you choose? Oh I am sorry, I repeated the question.

Thanks goodness. I finally did it. No, not choosing them both but posting something here. HA HA HA!

The Weight of Our Stuff

This is not about the physical weight of our stuff, which has got to be a dramatic number if anyone ever took the time to calculate such a figure, but rather about the psychological weight of our possessions.

In the United States the average size of a household in 2015 was 2.54 people compared with 3.33 people in 1960. (1)  In the United States the average size of a single family home in 2013 was 2,598 square feet compared to 1,725 square feet in 1983.  (2)  Think about those diverging trend lines for a moment.  As our households have gotten smaller, our homes have gotten significantly larger.  Why?

Probably because we have so much stuff.  We have so much stuff that it does not seem like developers can build self-storage facilities fast enough.  Depending upon who you ask, self-storage or mini-storage will be an $30 billion dollar industry in the near future with the United States accounting for more than 90% of that market.  That is more than $27 billion dollars to store stuff that we cannot fit into houses that are a lot bigger with fewer people living in them.  Huh?

I wish that I had the ability to visualize development like Johnny over at Granola Shotgun.  It is a skill I really wish that I had as I watch multiple mini-storage facilities being put up on my short drive home from work.  At the moment I can count three large mini-storage complexes being built on development parcels that are within city limits, near major arterial roads, and near the region’s major employers.  Does it seem crazy that we would build storage for our stuff on these relatively high value parcels of land?

Remember, this is stuff that we do not need on a regular enough basis to actually store in our homes.  Even worse is that someone is going to pay money on a monthly basis to store this stuff that they do not need regularly enough.  Heck, there is an entire legal canon dedicated to determining when a mini-storage unit is considered “abandoned.”  Storage Wars this is not.

Seeing these mini-storage complexes being built near me and speed reading several blog posts about Marie Kondo—thank you Root Simple—got me to thinking about the stuff in my house.  My wife and I are by no means hoarders or even great collectors of stuff, but I think we have become inundated with stuff that does not add value or joy to our lives.

It is quite easy to end up with boxes of stuff you do not necessarily care about or know what to do with.  When parents age out of housing or pass away a large quantity of family “heirlooms” generally finds its way into the possession of the next generation.  The irony of this passing of stuff is that if there was a true “value” in the items no one would pass them on until they passed away.  Yet, you will find yourself with boxes full of baseball cards, depression glass, mismatched flatware from the old country, and binder after binder filled with old pictures.  Most of this stuff will sit in boxes in a storage room or, god forbid, a mini-storage unit you make monthly payments on until your own children are old enough to become the caretakers of this heritage.  And so the cycle goes.

Take for example a set of custom oak bookcases that I inherited from my father when he passed away several years ago.  I did not part with the bookcases when I sold my father’s home following his death because I felt that there was some connection in the item.  Both of my parents were professors and, for a time, I chased that goal but that was more than a decade ago and I no longer harbor any desire to be a member of academia.  The books lining the shelves represented a different life and most had not been touched in years.  Now, I am getting rid of both the books and bookcases.  It does not feel sad.  It feels good.

Piece by piece I intend on evaluating all of the stuff in my house so that I do not end up paying a monthly rental fee on a mini-storage unit.

LASU 20th Convocation Ceremony Postponed Indefinitely

Filed in Lagos State University by on March 18, 2015 0 Comments

LASU 20th Convocation Ceremony Postponed Indefinitely.

Management of Lagos State University regrets to announce the postponement of activities lined up for the 20th Convocation Ceremony earlier scheduled to hold on Wednesday 18th March and Thursday 19th March, 2015 respectively.

The decision became imperative in the light of the agitation/protest by ASUU, SSANU & NASU on Monday 16th March, 2015, at the Main Campus, Ojo.

New dates for the University 20th Convocation Ceremony would be announced later.

Lagos State University Management deeply regrets all inconveniences this development might cause graduands, parents, the entire University Community and the general public

Meanwhile, LASU staff unions have resolved that the university’s 20th convocation ceremony cannot be held until the state government meets all its demands, including the removal of the Vice Chancellor, Professor John Obafunwa.

The workers, who declared the vice chancellor “persona non grata,” called on the governor to appoint a new “impartial” acting vice chancellor as a matter of urgency to complete Obafunwa’s tenure, which is expected to expire in September.

It would be recalled that workers of the Lagos state University, on Monday throw sachets of water at the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, which eventually made his cloth wetted.

The situation infuriated the vice-chancellor who sobbed as he walked through the main road leading to the main gate of the campus. Products and Services:

My Pursuit of Happiness and Skinny Jeans

My journey to a smaller jean size

Run, Eat, Sleep…Repeat!

on April 25, 2012

Today was a quiet day, with nothing really that exciting happening.

RUN:  4 miles.  Overall, it was a pretty good run.  I wasn’t quite as speedy as I was on yesterday’s 3 miles, but faster than I used to be.  4 miles took me 42 minutes, so I guess I’m getting better!

EAT:  Another Clean Eating recipe.  Tonight it was Spinach & Chicken Sausage Pizza.  This was another tasty meal.  If I make it again, I would probably use a different crust.  The recipe called for a Boboli Whole Wheat crust or making a Clean Eating pizza crust from scratch.  I couldn’t find a Boboli crust, and I didn’t want to make one from scratch, so I picked up an organic spelt crust from the health food store.  It was okay, but a little lacking in flavour, so next time I will try a different crust and see if it makes it a bit better.  The toppings were fantastic, so if I can figure out a way to improve the taste of the crust but stay “clean” then it will be a winner.  To see the recipe, follow this link:  I forgot to take a picture, so here’s how it looks on the Clean Eating Magazine site.

SLEEP:  I’m trying to get more sleep.  I’m not being all that successful with it yet, but at least I’m aware that it need to be a bigger priority for me.  I’m aiming to get to be tonight by 11pm…which is at least an hour ahead of usual, if not more.  Some days it’s writing this blog that keeps me up late!  At least tonight I’m getting this out of the way a bit earlier.

REPEAT: I’ve got another 4 miles on the schedule for tomorrow.  I need to get that done early in the morning before work, since I’ve got some kid things to deal with tomorrow after work that will get me home late and likely not in the mood to run.  Besides, getting the run out of the way in the morning is such a great feeling. Knowing I can sit on the couch completely guilt free and watch tv all night is awesome!  I’ve got left over pizza for lunch so that’s a bonus as well.

This “Run, Eat, Sleep…Repeat” routine is keeping me on track with my training.  So is writing this blog.  Coming on here every day to “report” how my training and eating has gone for the day is helping me to stick to the plan and keeping me accountable.  So, thanks for stopping by and helping to keep me on track.  I need all the help I can get!

Sleep Update

on August 29, 2015

As I mentioned in my post earlier this week, I am making it a goal for September to get at least 7 hours of sleep a night.  I have actually been working on this one for a while now, since I finally got fed up with feeling so tired all the time.

looking forward to sleep

I’ve been listening to a number of health-based podcasts, and it is surprising how often the topic of sleep comes up as a key to good health.  The general consensus seems to be that adults need somewhere between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night.  I found this on the web:

One podcast, “Life in Focus” with Dr. Alessandra Wall & Christopher Browning, actually suggested that teens might need as much as 13 hours of sleep at night, given how much their bodies and brains are growing and changing.  Guess I shouldn’t nag my 16-year-old who could sleep the whole day away  🙂  Seems like he is just letting his body do it’s thing!

Anyways…adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep.  Until I stated focusing on getting more sleep, I averaged somewhere between 6 and 7 hours of sleep.  Getting 7 hours or more was quite rare, and tended to only happen on weekends when I didn’t really have a set time to get up.  Since making a conscious effort to get more sleep (and actually setting an alarm to let me know it’s time to start thinking about going to bed – more on this to come in a future post), I have been doing quite a bit better.  It also helps that we are still in summer vacation mode, and don’t have to get the kids ready for school in the morning, so hubs and I have been sleeping in a bit and not getting up for work as early as we need to during the school year.

Here’s how my last week of sleep looked, as tracked by my Fitbit:

hours slept
Not too bad, if I do say so myself!  I hit my 7 hour target all but one night, and even then I came pretty close.  Wednesday I got some bonus sleep, as I was feeling totally run down, and decided after presenting to a client all morning that I was just going to go home and nap instead of going back to the office.  I don’t get to nap that often.  It was awesome and I slept like a rock!  I really should try to squeeze a nap in more often – maybe not a 3 hour nap, but a half hour every once in a while might be nice.

Here is the detail of my sleep.  The lines show times when I was either restless (blue lines) or awake (pink lines):

daily breakdown

Even though I’m hitting my 7 hours, I still have some work to do on my sleep quality.  I seem to wake up at least once very night and some nights I seem to be quite restless.  Not really too sure how to improve the sleep quality.  Guess I will have to hit up Google and do some research.

I’ve got one more week of “summer mode” and then it’s back into “school mode” when I have to get up about an hour earlier than I am now.  Losing that hour will make it challenging to get my 7 hours.  I will just have to make it a priority to get to bed earlier.  That should be interesting!

Do you get at least 7 hours of sleep a night?
Have any tips on how to improve your quality of sleep?

    I have always made sleep a priority and get 9 hours+ a night. But, I go to bed early – old people early – and get up early. I agree that a good night of sleep makes all the difference in my performance in all of my waking hours.

    • cathyo says:

      I should go to bed “old people early” but I don’t get home from the gym until after 9:30 which makes that difficult. My goal is to start the process by 10:30 which gives me a bit of time to unwind after the gym and hit 7 hours if I’m asleep by 11. We’ll see how it goes! 😴😴

Peter Slipper's FREE sausage sizzles

This is an archived copy of an event that has already passed. It is online for informational purposes only.
  • Date:
  • Location: Tesch Park, Maleny 4552 Queensland

Slipper and Powell to host FREE sausage sizzles

Federal Member for Fisher Peter Slipper has confirmed he will be accompanied by State Member for Glass House Andrew Powell at the free sausage sizzles on April 10 in Eudlo, Glass House Mountains and Beerburrum.

Mr Powell will also attend the sausage sizzles at Montville and Maleny on April 17.

The events provide local residents with opportunities in their own communities to discuss key local issues with their local elected members.

"Many local residents live very busy lives during the week, with school drop-offs, and work and other commitments, so it is often difficult to find time to do things like visit your local member of parliament," Mr Slipper said.

"The local sausage sizzles will give residents a chance to catch up with me and Andrew in an informal and relaxed environment to share discussions on a wide variety of topics and issues."

The sausage sizzles are on Saturday 10 April at:
*    Eudlo Town Park and Tennis Club (9am - 11am),
*    Uniting Park, Ryan Street, Glass House Mountains (12noon-2pm), or
*    Pioneer Park, Beerburrum (3pm - 5pm).

Further free sausage sizzles are also being held on Saturday 17 April at:
*    The Village Green, Montville (9am -- 11am), or
*    Tesch Park, Maleny (12noon -- 2pm).

"These sausage sizzles are relaxed and informal; they are a great opportunity to speak directly with local residents and to hear about the issues that concern them," Mr Powell said.

RSVPs are required for catering purposes. Enquiries can be directed to Mr Slipper's office at 07-5444 4888.

    Smile How Do Theses Names Sound Together?

    I have twins and their names are Emmett Malachi and Brennah Natalie, they were born in October of 2011, I am currently pregnant and due in April, I haven't found out what I am having for the sole purpose that we don't have a name yet. So For a girl our plan is Kendall Aidelyne and for a boy our plan is Kellan Abraham. Now I am just wondering what these names sound like to other people rather then just us. Thankk You to all the Berries, and I will be checking back soon.

    Kendall and Kellan are too matchy for my liking. Twins are individuals and should be given their own unique names. Even EMMett, BrENNah, KENdall and KellAN are too similar. Abraham is a fine mn but Aidelyne is not a pretty. Why not keep is simple and choose Adalyn or Adelyn? If I had to choose between them, I think Kellan Abraham is the better option.

    I really like the names you have for your twins. For the boy, Kellan Abraham is a great name. Your girl name isn't my favorite. I know that there are Kendall's that are girls, in the area I live in it is very much a boy name. The middle name of the girl is very pretty though!

    Talking The girls name

    I have a pattern and I want the girls first name to have 2 syllables and no long vowels, I also want it to end in LL. In my life I have never came across a guy named Kendall, but I am open for options if anybody has any. Thank You..

Counting back and predecessor function

Counting back by one we can denote by ‘n.

So 2 = ‘3.

1 = ”3

Counting back leads us to subtraction.

x-0 = x

x-y’ = ‘(x-y)

The latter equation says if x is our anchor, then counting back one more is the same as counting back one from the previous difference.

4-3 – 4 – 2’ = ‘(4-2) = ‘2 = 1

If we used B for counting back by one

B(x) = ‘x

We can then define the B(x,y) function by

B(x,0) = x

B(x,y’) = ‘B(x,y)

where y must be less than or equal to x.   Alternatively,

we could say that B has to be non-zero to continue.  If we start y at 0, the stopping condition can be stated as stop when y equals x.  So we don’t have to have less than or equal worked out yet.

This is the function given above for subtraction using the minus sign.

The B symbol makes clear that the structure of the B function is recursive.

If we continued to go backward when B reaches zero, then we would need to create negative numbers.  This requires defining negative numbers as an ordered pair of a sign and size, and then redefining B on such ordered pairs.  B is then a new function on these new types of inputs.

Passing on an Appreciation of Life to His Students

Florida teacher, four others, to be honored for teaching that makes a difference

EVANSTON, Ill. --- A Florida teacher who fled Cuba in 1994 for the United States in a hand-built raft made from a Caterpillar tractor inner tube and pieces of fabric is one of five high school teachers who will be honored as a “teacher who has made a difference” at Northwestern University’s Honors Day (June 14) and Commencement (June 15).

Rafael Arechabaleta -- known as Mr. A. to his students at the Fort Lauderdale school where he teaches -- “inspired me to become an engineer and to push myself in life,” says soon-to-graduate McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science senior Michael Dornbusch. Dornbusch and four graduating Weinberg School of Arts and Sciences seniors nominated Arechabaleta for Northwestern’s Distinguished Secondary Teacher Awards.

Arechabaleta and 2012 distinguished secondary teaching award winners Greg Devine, John F. Belcaster, Amanda Bright and Christine Jawork were selected from a pool of more than 80 teachers nominated by their former students. Each of the teachers and each of their schools will receive $2,500 as part of the award.

“Rafael Arechabaleta is the second University School of Nova Southeastern University teacher to win the distinguished teaching award in the two years that we have given it,” says Eugene Lowe, assistant to Northwestern President Morton Schapiro and chair of the award’s selection committee. “What’s also remarkable is that in both cases the winning teachers were nominated not by a single student but by a team.”

The tales of Arechabaleta’s escape from Cuba and his appreciation of the freedoms the U.S. affords still resonate for Dornbusch, Jonathan Schwartz, Mitchell Drew, Kelly Flowers and Matthew Bartnovsky who nominated Arechabaleta for the award. “I still hear his heavy Cuban accent when I’m reading physics literature,” Bartnovsky says.

“To win this award coming from my students is truly an honor,” says the physics teacher who calls his teaching philosophy a “meld” of Cuban-, Russian- and American-style education. “I treat my students as I would college students so they can make the transition from high school to college and from structure to independent learning.”

As a youngster in Cuba, he attended a “tuition-free” government-operated boarding school where students studied in the mornings and raised and harvested oranges and pineapple in the afternoons. “We worked hard,” he said, adding that he had some wonderful teachers. “For 12 years, I only saw my parents on weekends. By American standards, this is criminal.”

On passing an entrance exam, Arechabaleta at age 15 was sent to study in the Soviet Union, and given a $10 a month stipend. “Gorbachev was starting Perestroika, and it was the beginning of the end of Communism,” he recalls. To make ends meet, he and other Cuban students traveled to Eastern bloc nations and sold coveted Soviet electronics, bicycles and other goods.

“We all hoped to wind up in the United States, the land of opportunity,” Arechabaleta says, but the Cuban government had different plans for them. They originally were slated to return to Cuba as professors or researchers. But when officials realized that they were returning home critical of the Cuban government and with hopes of defecting, “they punished us by giving us very hard jobs,” Arechabaleta says.

In Havana, he worked at a bicycle factory and more happily “as a doorman at a shopping mall where I could earn tips and make $50 a month.” As a physicist, he would have earned about $30 a month less, he says.

In 1994, at age 24, Arechabaleta, his sister and a handful of neighbors fled Cuba in their homemade boat with nothing more than a compass to guide them. After three days, they were picked up by the U.S. Coast Guard, and then spent a year at a refugee camp in Guantanamo Bay. Arechabaleta, who already spoke Russian, used the year to study English.

In Miami, he worked in a warehouse and a factory. On gaining permanent resident status in Florida, he enrolled at Florida International University, where he earned a graduate degree in experimental physics. His first graduate degree, earned in the Soviet Union, was in theoretical physics.

These days, Arechabaleta -- who prefers teaching to research -- is working on a doctoral thesis in education. He calls teaching “a beautiful path,” and says the “beautiful students and colleagues” at the school at which he has worked for 12 years “fulfill the emptiness of not being in my native country or with my family.”

“I came to this country as a young adult, but my years here have been very short compared to the life I had before that required much sacrifice,” he says. “Now every day something beautiful happens.” It is this appreciation of life and its gifts that he seeks to pass on to his students.

The four other 2012 Northwestern’s Distinguished Secondary Teacher Award winners taking part in Honors Day and Commencement are:

Greg Devine, an Advanced Placement (AP) physics teacher at Delbarton School in Morristown, N.J., who also serves as an advisor to the Engineering and Design Club and director of the school’s wind and brass ensembles. He was nominated by McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science senior Luke Francis Hemenetz. “Greg Devine sparks a passion for learning in his students and his students respond in kind,” says Delbarton School Headmaster Brother Paul Diveny of the physics teacher. “With a true passion for teaching and self-renewal, Greg is a life-long learner himself, and this is what he models to his students.”

John F. Belcaster, a Northwestern University alumnus who, prior to teaching, worked alongside now President Barack Obama at the Chicago law firm of Miner, Barnhill & Galland, teaches honors American and world history at Walter Payton College Preparatory High School in Chicago. He previously taught AP economics and history at Chicago’s Northside College Preparatory High School, where he taught Weinberg senior Patricia Radkowski, who nominated him for the award.  She describes Belcaster as “passionate about his position and his students and incredibly educated.” Tim Devine, principal of Walter Payton College Prep, praises him as “unparalleled at creating a student-centered environment.”

Amanda Bright teaches journalism and composition at Mattoon High School in Mattoon, Ill., where she developed the journalism curriculum. She is student advisor to the high school’s award-winning newspaper. Medill senior Sarah Eberspacher credits her former teacher with inspiring her to pursue journalism in college. In describing her teaching method, Bright notes: “The moment I become static and unresponsive to the changes in my students and our culture, I will lose all effectiveness.” Eberspacher says her former teacher has no cause to worry: “When I left Mattoon High School, the notion of studying journalism in college was relatively nonexistent. Just four years later, there are three or four students heading off each year with plans to become the next Al Neuharth, Bob Costas or Anna Quindlen. The woman behind that is Mrs. Bright.”

Christine Jawork teaches African and Asian studies at Harriton Senior High School in Rosemont, Pa., where she also directs the Students Building Community Team and coaches the Mock Trial Team and World Affairs Club. Lauren Marcuson, her school prinicipal, describes Jawork as “an advocate for her students.” Jawork says her primary goal as an educator “is to help students re-discover their own passion for knowledge, which, by high school, has often long been in latency.” Weinberg senior Benjamin Goldberg nominated his former teacher and says that she “forced her students to confront unchallenged assumption and to think critically about history and the study of culture. She taught with an incredible energy and charisma, bringing her whole self into the classroom and inspiring us to learn. I looked forward to her class every day.”

How to learn robotics with Arduino

Robotics is such an exciting and growing field. Many people want to learn how to make robots, but sometimes it is hard to know where to start.

If you are starting from scratch, or if you already know some electronics and programming concepts, learning robotics with Arduino is a good idea. It will give you some good basics that you can use later to build larger robotics projects.

Niryo One is an example of a robot powered by Arduino. Great things can be accomplished with Arduino ! You’ll also find more examples of robotics applications on Instructables, an amazing website with some open source tutorials.

In this post we’ll show you an overview and some guidelines, about where to start, which board, sensors, motors to use, and what to focus on.

What you can do, and what you can’t do with an Arduino board

An Arduino board is composed of a microcontroller, some LEDs, a reset button, and many pins that you can use for input/output operations.

With so many pins available, you can easily read data from sensors, or control different motors and actuators. That is what makes Arduino great for learning robotics. It’s kind of an all-in-one tool to interface all the hardware you need to control.

But don’t think about artificial intelligence, 3D visualization and other heavy algorithms. Microcontrollers are not powerful enough, and it is not the purpose of using an Arduino board. Arduino is mostly used to do input/output operations, and small computations.

Don’t worry though, you can still do amazing stuff with just an Arduino board and a few motors and sensors ! There are more than enough resources to learn robotics with Arduino.

And then, if you want to learn deeper robotics concepts and add an intelligence layer to make your system more clever, you can just control your Arduino board from another computer (like a Raspberry Pi board), there are many easy ways to do that.

Choosing an Arduino board

First of all you have to choose which Arduino board is best suited for your robotics project. Our recommendation : starting with a Uno or a Mega is just fine.

The Uno has an ATmega328P microcontroller and the Mega has an ATmega2560. Their CPU is both clocked at 16 MHz. Uno has 2ko of SRAM while Mega has 8ko. That’s pretty small, so think twice before creating huge arrays of variables.

Then, the biggest difference is the interface with hardware components. Uno has 14/6 digital input/output pins while Mega has 54/15. That’s why Arduino Mega is preferred for bigger projects, as you can plug more hardware.

And if you like 3D printing, you may know that some shields were created just for the Arduino Mega board, like RAMPS 1.4 shield, which allows you to use 5 stepper motors and power them from an external power source.

ramps 1.4 for arduino

RAMPS 1.4 shield on top of an Arduino Mega board

At Niryo we are definitely fan of the Arduino Mega + RAMPS 1.4 combination, that we use to power our robot !

So, if you want to learn only the basics, get an Arduino Uno, otherwise we advise you to directly start with a Mega. More Arduino boards are available for different robotics applications. For a very smaller board check out Arduino Nano. If you want ethernet connectivity then Arduino Yun is for you, and fore more advanced calculation you may choose the Arduino Due.

Installing the IDE

The first step is to install the software (IDE) which will allow you to write and upload the code on your Arduino board. You can download the Arduino IDE on the official Arduino website. There is a version for Windows, Mac OS and Linux :  everyone’s happy.

ide arduino board selection

Once you installed the IDE, you need to plug your Arduino board to your computer with the USB wire. Normally, the IDE should automatically recognize the USB port where the Arduino board is plugged. You just need one extra step :  go in “Tools”->”Board” and select the Arduino board you are using.

Then all you have to do is write your code and upload it ! If you are not familiar with Arduino programming, have a look in File->Examples. Many examples using standard Arduino libraries can be found here. It will get you up to speed easily. Now you’re ready to learn robotics with Arduino !

Controlling motors (output)

As we saw, an Arduino board will be used as an input/output platform. In this post we are focusing on robotics applications. So… What do you need to move a robot ? Yep, motors.

Two kinds of motors can be easily controlled by Arduino : servo motors and stepper motors.

Servo motors

how to learn robotics with arduino - servo motor

A classic hobby servo motor with a 3 wires connector

Servo motors just need a 3 wires connector and can be directly plugged to the Arduino board. Standard hobby servos can move between 0 and 180°. You can control a servo with the Arduino Servo library. Some examples are provided on the Arduino website.

Basically, how you control a servo motor is by giving it the value of the goal angle. It will automatically go to this angle. You can adjust the speed by incrementing the goal over different periods of time.

You can also read the value of the current angle. Servos give you feedback which is very useful. But, be aware that most hobby servos have a 180° range, which can be a problem in some applications (you can find some alternative servos on the Internet, each with its pros and cons).

Stepper motors

how to learn robotics with arduino - stepper motor with ramps 1.4

Stepper motor plugged to RAMPS 1.4 shield, with a motor driver

Stepper motors are different. You can’t directly plug them to the Arduino board. You need another linked card, or a shield like RAMPS 1.4 for the Mega board. That’s why we prefer Arduino Mega + RAMPS 1.4 for stepper motors, as it gives an easier and nicer interface.

For controlling a stepper motor, you need to tell it to do one step. That’s pretty much it. So, you need to know how many steps you can do for a 360° move. Then, by adding or removing delay between each step, you can reduce or increase the speed of the motor. You can find examples on the Arduino website. A stepper motor will generally run more smoothly than a servo motor, and it has infinite rotation.

However you don’t have feedback from a stepper motor. So if your robot needs to be aware of the current angle you will have to add an encoder or a sensor to know if the stepper missed some steps due to a too high torque.

After you learn how to deal with servo and stepper motors, you will be able to choose which one is best suited for your robot. And there are more kind of motors out there…

Reading data from sensors (input)

Once you’ve managed to control your motors, you may want to make your robot adapt its behaviour to environment changes.

There are tons of sensors you can use with an Arduino board :

  • Optical distance measurement
  • Laser detector
  • Accelerometer
  • Gyroscope
  • Magnetometer
  • RFID reader
  • Thermometer
  • Load sensor
  • Force sensor

Imagine all the robotics applications you can do with all those sensors ! You can easily find libraries, tutorials and datasheets online to learn how to read and analyze data. Mostly data acquisition will be done via serial, i2c and spi communication.

For example, you could use an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) to control the inclination of your robot. An IMU is composed of different sensors : accelerometers, gyroscope and magnetometer (optional). Then, if you want your robot  to detect and avoid collisions with objects and people, you can add a laser detector.

All of that just with your Arduino board. Robotics hardware has now become nice and user-friendly !

When you upload your code on the Arduino board, you don’t know what is exactly happening when the program runs. Maybe you will see some weird behaviors or your robot might just not do anything.

The easiest way to debug or to display some state in your program is to use the Serial library. All you need to do is to write Serial.print(), and to open the serial monitor on the Arduino IDE. That way you will be able to see logs, and to send manual commands via serial communication for debugging. (If you see some weird printed characters, be sure that the baud rate is the same on Arduino and the serial monitor)

Time for you to learn robotics with Arduino !

We gave here an overview of what you can do to learn robotics with Arduino boards. If you are struggling with some parts, don’t worry too much as there is an active online community around Arduino boards and projects.

We hope this post will be useful for you, so you can get more into robotics, learn new things, and share your projects with robotics communities.

And if you are interested in learning robotics with Arduino on a cool and useful project, you will definitely like Niryo One !

Blackthorn Key

Let me tell you all about Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands, the Cybils Award WINNER! I had it in my mind that this book should be the winner even before we had our delegating chat.

I loved this book so much. Here’s a quick summary via Goodreads.

“London, 1665. Fourteen-year-old Christopher Rowe is apprenticed to master apothecary Benedict Blackthorn. In Blackthorn’s shop, Christopher learns the delicate secrets of transforming simple ingredients into powerful medicines, potions and weapons… Helped by his best friend, Tom, Christopher must decipher his master’s clues, following a trail of deceit towards an unearthly secret with the power to tear the world apart.”

I read this book in tandem with another one of the book choices and in doing so it seriously highlighted the differences between our time and 1665 London. In our time, teenagers are rude to their parents and self centered. At least, in my opinion, based on one of the books I was reading. I won’t say which one because I am not a rude teenager (anymore). All Christopher wants to do is please his master! Even when he hits him! I think some middle grade readers may need a bit more information as far as the historical situation goes (not all of them may know Thomas Cromwell or the time period) but it can still be understood that traitors are bad so it’s not a big issue. I like that the book feels complete but somewhat open ended with the disappearance of a main antagonist. The characters are nicely fleshed out but there are a lot of them in the guild. I felt like sometimes they were called by their last names or different titles and there were just a fair amount of people to remember so that might also be hard. I also think because of the scientific experiments and potions, along with Christopher’s age, this could also easily be considered a YA crossover book.

I see that it's been quite long since the last
check in was done. Wouldn't it be preferable to
check in code more often? Well, actually it used
to be like that I think, but there has not been
a check in for a long time now.
Hope you'll check in soon guys.

Nov 13, 2006 at 9:02 PM
quite all the team is involved in an italian conference so development is quite now.

after that check-in will restart (and you'll get the answer to your former posts).

and yes, check-in should be frequent as soon as tests pass ;-)

The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release

Presidential Memorandum -- Updating and Modernizing Overtime Regulations

March 13, 2014

SUBJECT: Updating and Modernizing Overtime Regulations

The Fair Labor Standards Act (the "Act"), 29 U.S.C. 201 et seq., provides basic rights and wage protections for American workers, including Federal minimum wage and overtime requirements. Most workers covered under the Act must receive overtime pay of at least 1.5 times their regular pay rate for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week.

However, regulations regarding exemptions from the Act's overtime requirement, particularly for executive, administrative, and professional employees (often referred to as "white collar" exemptions) have not kept up with our modern economy. Because these regulations are outdated, millions of Americans lack the protections of overtime and even the right to the minimum wage.

Therefore, I hereby direct you to propose revisions to modernize and streamline the existing overtime regulations. In doing so, you shall consider how the regulations could be revised to update existing protections consistent with the intent of the Act; address the changing nature of the workplace; and simplify the regulations to make them easier for both workers and businesses to understand and apply.

This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Nothing in this memorandum shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect the authority granted by law to a department or agency, or the head thereof.

You are hereby authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

#H50 Recap 6×1: Mai Ho’oni I Ka Wai Lana Malie (Do Not Disturb the Water that is Tranquil)

Ahoy, my pretties, and welcome to season 6! Our Ohana is back!

I give this first episode 6 geckos. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by super-action-packed and bigger-than-life premier episodes before now, because this one just seemed a little flat. Lots of standing around and talking. But it’s still my H50 and there’s still lots to love! Some great lines, Kono being kick-ass Kono, nice smiles, men in tuxes, and a scary cliffhanger. And Pirates!!! Pirates! Pirates!!! Not zombies, but perhaps a Tongan or two.

#ScottCaan Fan Video by @_valleygirl07

Aloha! Here’s a terrific video made by my fellow fan Janet as a tribute to Scott Caan. It isn’t strictly H50, but I hope you can all enjoy it anyway, because it shows so much about his talents, attitudes, depth, and complexity. Yes, I have a crush on him, and yes, I carry on sometimes about his smile and his muscles and….well, anyway, I do know there’s so much more to him to appreciate!

I’ll be back soon! Season 6 premier is almost here!

#H50 Recap/Picspam: A Make Kaua (Until We Die) 5×25

Aloha! It’s been a long time! I have graduated with my master’s degree and am slowly digging out from under all the stress and stuff that I haven’t done for the last several months. And that means I want to get back to the blog!

I thought I’d start at the end and write a post about the season finale. This episode contained so much! Shirtless, wet Steve. Our pretty team all dressed up in their fine clothes. A cargument and a heligument. A nuclear explosion. A bride who fights crime on her wedding day (I would opt for a pedicure, myself). And further confirmation that Waikiki is one of the most dangerous spots on Earth.

I give this episode 8 geckos.

#H50 Recap/Picspam 2×15 Mai Ka Wa Kahinko

Surprise!!! This is an old recap/picspam from way back when I started writing these. I was writing for someone else’s blog, so I had to follow her rules, but I think they are still fun. 🙂

I decided to re-post some of these old ones in honor of my good friend Alice, who has recently become a big fan of Hawaii Five-0 thanks to Netflix!! *Everybody wave “hello” to Alice!*  She is especially fond of shirtless Steve. See, she has good taste! I’m starting with this episode because she just watched it.

Dear Golden Globes and Emmy Awards,
Scott Caan. Scott Caan. Scott Caan. Now!
Sincerely, Anna
PS: Throw in an Oscar and a Tony, because he deserves ALL the awards. Thank you.

Before we get to the amazing Scott acting moments, we need to revisit the first part of the episode.

Just looking at that outdoor staircase made me tired and hot. 1048 steps! Just looking at Steve and those arms and legs made me hot and tired. Let’s see, which should I choose?

    It must mean SOMEthing! It can’t just be a coincidence! There has to be a reason! This is supposed to be a fun ride for little children! And what in the world is that cocacola helicopter doing in the middle of a war? Symbolism? Subliminal messages? Or am I just taking this too seriously? Allah y7afthich yalKuwait<

3. The End of Overeating by David Kessler

4. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith

Have you read any of these? What books would you recommend?

7 thoughts on “Friday Five: Books to Read

  1. I've read The Help, The End of Overeating, Of Mice and Men. They were all really good. I'm really into Elizabeth Berg right now so hers would be on my list of “need to read.”

    I read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown but didn't love it as much as some of his other books.

  2. I've read the Kessler and the Smith. The Kessler was one of the best books I read last year. I read prodigal God by Keller, and I admit I didn't think it was “all that” – however, I wouldn't judge an author based on one work. I look forward to hearing about Counterfeit Gods. It's looks interesting. ~ L

  3. I read of Mice and Men back in high school but actually read it again just a few months ago. It's a classic and I wanted to get it out and read it again. It's a quick read, which I like sometimes. Excellent book!

  4. I miss reading. Not much time for it around here. Most of my reading consists of Brown Bear, Cat in the Hat, Go Dog Go, etc. You get the idea! I'm hoping for a vacation sans hubby and kids next month so I'll certainly be open for good vacation read suggestions! 🙂

Tell me your thoughts! I'd love to read them.

    At last some common sense from Dr Klinghardt over safe Zirconium dioxide dental implants! Your ‘biocompatible’ dentists dream about stem cell techniques which the globalists will not allow to be released. They are quite happy for patients to have empty tooth sockets in pursuit of their mania for eliminating anything without the patient’s DNA.

    I’d rather get a life with my chewing function back and will eventually replace all missing and root-canaled teeth with Zirconium implants. £1455 ($2434) each for cash payment in London, UK.

    Here’s the link for Zirconium implants in London. The East European influx is forcing exorbitant British prices down:

The Eye of the Hurricane

28 Jun

Hello there! Well, here I am *blogging*

Not something that I have foreseen myself doing 6 months ago, but neither did I foresee myself being married by now! I am now a “Mrs” and have been since about 2:30pm (CEST) June 16, 2012. The ceremony was simple enough, being the administrative bit done at the Mairie in Nantes, France.

There WAS a wedding party afterwards including a “Ceremony Laique” and plenty of champagne, and (I hate to boast)  it was probably the best party of my life–turned out better than I could ever hope for.

However this blog is not about the wedding itself, but rather a consolidation of all the information, details, and choices that were made by my *husband* (still getting used to it!) and me right up to the day. I apologize upfront if the grammar sucks or the style lacks but I am so out of practice with writing.

I do hope though that by laying down for you the dissection of a wedding celebration, you future brides out there, will have an actual model to work off rather than just the glossy images of a Martha Stewart Weddings magazine (there is lots of elbow grease, very little ‘glossy’ in the process!)

In a sense, I am lucky cos from proposal to wedding only took 6 months. That’s about 6 months to a year less than the usual to complete the transformation into bridezilla.

Through the coming weeks, I will try and fill in the blanks for this process. In the meantime, feel free to ask questions while things are still fresh in my mind. If I have an answer, I would be delighted to share.

So do check back regular.
