It is interesting to make the obvious observation that,

It is interesting to make the obvious observation that, while the first and last named are fanatical behaviourists, believing that everything is subject to unlimited moulding and rearrangement through a process of reward and punishment and the three in the middle are fanatical instinctivists, insisting that virtually everything and anything is inherited, a gift (or a grief) of the genes and not subject to the environment.
The parallels of the extreme behaviourist and the extreme hereditarian meet at a finite point and join hands in mystic union, like the snake with its tail in its mouth, welded together by the acetylene torch of commitment to one approach and one answer to a multitude of questions. The fury and the zealotry is all.
The fact that all these viewpoints stem from individual and personal bias and social, economic, and political, and therefore have, it is to be assumed, little if any relevance to the actual and real-life situation they are ostensibly dealing with, may one day occur to us, or even to them. It is not anti-science to remind scientists that they too are mortal.
Or, at the very least and their arguments to the contrary are subject to the rules of logic. The Man in the Moon, and all that
Enid lake
The Moon was one of the first objects to come under the scrutiny of the newly-invented telescope.
But that did not put a stop to the myths that have always surrounded Earth’s nearest neighbour
The first astronomer to raise his “glass” to the Moon, in 1609, was an Englishman named Thomas Harriot. Second, by a hairsbreadth, was Galileo Galilei.
He constructed his own refined version of the newly-invented telescope and peered through it from the top of St Mark’s tower in Venice.
Although Harriot drew the first map of the Moon as seen through the telescope, or glass, Galileo’s series of observations were the first serious scientific investigation of the Moon’s surface.
Scientists of the time were bound by Aristotle’s philosophy, which taught that the Moon was an immaculate heavenly body travelling in its own crystalline sphere around the Earth.
The spots and patches visible on the Moon were merely reflections of the Earth’s imperfect relief in the Moon’s smooth and crystalline surface.
Galileo’s telescope, however and revealed a host of imperfections, mountains, plains and, apparently and seas, in surprisingly Earth-like formations.
By careful observation of the appearance of these features as the Moon went through its monthly changes of phase, Galileo was able to estimate the lengths of the shadow cast by the uplands under various degrees of illumination by the Sun, and so calculate the heights of the mountains.
Even with such an unsophisticated method Galileo’s estimates turned out to be correct to within an order of magnitude. We now know the Moon’s surface as well as we know the Earth’s.
The French inventor Louis Daguerre took the first photograph of the Moon in 1839 or slightly earlier, and since then literally thousands of detailed pictures have been acquired, including those transmitted back-to Earth by the Moon-probes of the late 1950s and the 1960s.
In October 1959 and the Soviet probe Luna 3 first photographed the far side of the Moon, which can never be seen from the Earth.
The first man on the Moon, as opposed to in the Moon, was American astronaut Neil Armstrong who took his “giant leap for mankind” in July 1969.
It is now 10 years since the last of the Apollo astronauts set foot on the lunar surface and there are no immediate plans for another visit.

The supermarket group gave £1.3 million to community causes in 1990.

The supermarket group gave £1.3 million to community causes in 1990. Education .
Sainsbury knows that young people planning their careers rarely put working in a supermarket at the top of their list.
This fact, and the implications of the coming shortage of teenagers, has led the company to make education the centrepiece of its community strategy.
Its Link schools programme aims to build relationships between each branch and three local schools.
“That might involve talking to pupils about the history of shopping, lecturing them on the siting of a supermarket or having an environmental open day in a store,” education manager Lesley Shanahan says. Sainsbury refuses to give cash to education or to the NHS.
“That is the government’s responsibility,” it says.
Environment .
Sainsbury won much publicity when it appointed former Friends of the Earth director Jonathan Porritt to be its environmental policy adviser.
He provides guidance to the company’s environmental affairs committee, for example, in recommending environmental consultants.
“It’s more of an educational role,” says Mike Samuel, Sainsbury’s environment affairs manager. “We don’t want him to be compromised.”
The company also sponsors the Blue Peter Green Book , a children’s guide to the environment produced by the BBC TV programme.
In addition, it has provided £100,000 for a national environmental projects competition and backed dozens of local schemes.
Sainsbury is now encouraging customers to return plastic carrier bags for recycling, and pays a penny to charity for each one brought in.
Its target is to reduce bag use by 50 million a year and to donate £500,000 to charity. “The larger schemes do have a commercial benefit,” Samuel says. “They get publicity and help sales.
They also help position Sainsbury as an environmental leader.” Regeneration .
In 1987, in partnership with the London borough of Haringey, Sainsbury converted a redundant supermarket in Tottenham (the scene of riots in 1985) into a centre for small businesses.
Since then, 110 enterprises have set up in the centre’s offices and retail outlets and workshops.

It is probably the result of dealing so much with science.
Another rap came in the post for a wrong spelling of Marshal as in Marshal of the Royal Air Force. It appeared as “marshall”.
Baffling and this, because it was right on the copy.
There is, as anyone in the racket knows, a kind of trap between the printer and the writer that will box things up if possible, in spite of the best efforts on both sides.
While I am about it, I had better apologise on behalf of a contributor, who was castigated by post for not looking up the meaning of a phrase that was and to him, mysterious. It was “a-taunto”.
It would have been easy to track down, as a somewhat acidulous correspondent explained during a few remarks on the shortcomings of journalists. Guilty as charged.
THERE has been some correspondence going on, it seems, in the American journal,Business Week about the savings to be made by discouraging smoking at work, William L. Weis, who is associate professor of accounting at Seattle University, lists them. “Here’s richness!”, in the words of Wackford Squeers.
There is nothing to be gained by translating dollars into pounds in this story any more than doing it in a bank and so the money is untouched. Weis says that each year and per smoker, over $350 can be saved. But that is the beginning.
If you do not only frown on smoking but hire only non-smokers from now on you can, he maintains and save $5000 a year per smoker in the long run.
The savings come from less absenteeism, lower insurance costs, more productivity, fewer deaths (Weis calls this “much lower rates of worker mortality”), not so much deterioration in furniture, carpets and so on, including office machines, less maintenance and less spent on air-conditioning and heating.
I think there must be a period for a start when the office or elsewhere is a bit on the nervous and inefficient side as smokers are deprived, but he does not mention this. Daedalus
LAST WEEK, Daedalus presented a scheme for making cars blow a foamy exhaust. He is now extending this technology to human beings.
Our lungs are always moist, and exude a special surfactant to aid their expansion.
So he reasons that a foam blown with this natural surfactant could be effortlessly breathed.

It is, at least, doing its best to raise the price of cigarettes. Daedalus
MEDICAL radiation treatment is unselective.
The X- or gamma-rays damage all the tissue in their path.
not just the target tissue.
But bacteria can be “stained” with specific dyes and to clarify their structure for microscopy.
So Daedalus is inventing novel “X-ray stains” to make bacteria, etc., absorb X-rays strongly.
The scheme exploits the characteristic energy-spacing between the electron-shells in an atom.
An electron descending from one shell to a lower one emits an X-ray of a characteristic energy (this is the basis of X-ray fluorescence analysis).
So, argues Daedalus, an atom intercepting an X-ray of this energy will absorb it completely by resonance absorption, promoting an electron up to the higher electron-shell.
The energy thus captured by the atom will be discharged into the molecules that surround it. DREADCO biochemists are devising “X-ray stains” and “X-ray antibodies”.
They contain harmless types of atom rare in biological tissues and possessing strong characteristic X-ray fluorescences (gadolinium, dysprosium, etc.).
Swallowed and they will bind to the bacteria or target tissues inside the patient, with little obvious effect.
Then the patient is exposed to X-rays of the correct energy, fluorescently generated from the very element incorporated into the “X-ray stain”.
Instead of damaging everything indiscriminately and the X-rays will all be perfectly absorbed by the stained bacteria.
The vast X-ray energies suddenly dumped in their little laps will kill them in a few seconds, giving the fastest cures on record. Rats and many other creatures can “sense” X-rays.
Daedalus reasons that their nerve-endings must contain some heavy metal that absorbs X-rays by this sort of mechanism; the captured energy then fires the nerve.
So he hopes to come up with a special X-ray stain binding to human nerve endings.
Workers in nuclear and radiographic installations would then not need radiation badges, or monitoring instruments to warn them of the unseen danger all around.
They would feel the disquieting twinges of radiation and take precautions accordingly.

How many people noticed a small display on…

How many people noticed a small display on the Porsche stand at the recent Paris show? I’m sure I would have missed it had I not been waiting for somebody nearby.
The display was a mock-up of an alloy, double wishbone suspension system for a Porsche model due next year ” the 933 facelift of the 911 Carrera 2 and 4.
I’d no sooner pulled out my notebook than Thomas Krusenbaum, a young engineer from Porsche’s R&D centre at Weissach, appeared at my side. It’s Thomas’s job to sell Porsche engineering expertise to other companies.
Back in Australia, I have a bent wishbone from a Shadow F1 car ” a priceless present from a mechanic friend who worked for the grand prix team during the ’70s. Porsche’s new suspension appeals in the same way.
The craftsmanship and engineering prowess are obvious; the wishbones so beautiful you just want to touch them. This suspension is so like sculpture is should be displayed in my living room. Back to Paris.
A small chart itemised the increasing use of aluminium in various Porsches. In 1970, 16 per cent of the 911 was the light metallic element.
This figure reached 23 per cent with the 928 in 1978 and nudged 24 per cent on the 944.
By 1988, 27 per cent of the Carrera 2 and 4 was aluminium and, in 1992, 29 per cent of the 968. Helped by the new suspension and the 933 will be 38 per cent aluminium.
But Thomas denied the 933 would be built on an aluminium honeycomb platform, as rumoured. That’s for a future model, he told me.
What price a car brochure?

When McLaren first showed its supercar, potential customers ” and the press ” were each given a copy. Word spread.
To slow down the demand, McLaren began charging £30 a copy.
No let-up.
The price became £50 and then £70, and still people demanded a copy. Now it’s £100.

Older hands such as Kleinwort and Toomey…

Older hands such as Kleinwort and Toomey echo her view.
“In the dealing rooms the mental stress is unbelievable,” Kleinwort says. “You can get a dealer who is busted flush at 30.”
Toomey also sees the decline in human terms: “If you’d have said to me 20 years ago that there would be no trading floor at the Stock Exchange, I wouldn’t have believed it,” he says.
“Now they’re all sitting in offices peering at screens from seven in the morning ” dreadful. They’re all unhappy.”
Since the second world war, public ownership has largely replaced the City’s family firms, and new technology has widened the scope of City trading. The pace is fast.
Gone are the days of the one-to-one gentleman’s agreement; handsets have replaced handshakes.
“Selling is about getting on the telephone,” Brown says, “and using a variety of techniques involving charm, bullying and whatever else you can muster. In that competitive environment, anything was fair play.
A lot of girls compromised themselves a great deal more than I did.” Kleinwort recalls the values his grandfather’s generation espoused.
“In those days, balance sheets and profit and loss accounts didn’t mean all that much,” he explains.
“You were trying to assess a guy’s character, whether he was clean and straight, and not going to double-cross you.” The expansion of City business means greater complexity and specialisation. But the changes have not all happened in the past decade.
Kleinwort recalls the “aluminium war” of the late 1950s.
“I think that’s when American methods started to be applied and the whole atmosphere became less smooth, less gentlemanly; a wave of toughness started to hit the City.
“I regret some of the changes, but I think you’ve got to accept them and move with the times, however unfortunate that may be.” Toomey is less sanguine.
“It’s soulless now,” he says.
“In the early days the underwriters were God, particularly the mariners. They were arrogant but, by and large and they were decent, honest people. In the old days, everyone paid up.
The unlimited liability aspect of Lloyd’s is impressed upon every name and so for a name to say after the event that they didn’t know about it is a load of cobblers.”
Older historians may still question the validity of oral data; but, Briggs argues, “you’ve got to be critical of all forms of historical evidence; they all have their pitfalls, but oral evidence is especially useful for recovering attitudes”” a point amply borne out by City Lives.
It also provides a wealth of information on daily living and a real sense of office conditions pre-fax, photocopiers, word processors ” and even central heating. “There were gas fires,” one contributor recalls.
“The lift worked by hydraulics.”

IN THE days when a pocket calculator cost £100 and microcomputers were a thing of the future, I saw a niche for a book of cartoons of the genre that appeared in the computer rags.
At last the book has arrived: Martin Honeysett has collected his cartoons in Microphobia , a look at how to survive computers and the technological revolution.
The cartoons are not just for computer scientists and though perhaps the expert will see the irony more clearly.
Honeysett’s cartoons reflect the mundane uses that an ill-educated public might put new technology to.
Some of his cartoons show what happens when computers go wrong, but the emphasis is on trivial tasks to which computers might be put in the house and office.
My favourites are the nosy parker whose computer opens curtains whenever anyone passes her window, and computerised bath that finds the lost soap.
Unless we do better than IT Year did in conveying what information technology is, who knows what uses the man on the Clapham omnibus will find for new technology. Holistic approaches to cancer and homes
THERE are signs within A gentle way with cancer, BBC2’s Forty Minutes series on the Bristol Cancer Help Centre, which practises holistic medicine, of nerves twanging inside the BBC lest false hopes are aroused within watchers. On the face of it and these fears are groundless.
Forty Minutes is following six patients during their two-day crash course in self-healing at the centre and during the nine months after ward.
Two of the women who founded the centre in 1980 and the charismatic Mrs Penny Brohn, a cancer sufferer herself who has spurned the path of orthodox medicine, and Mrs Pat Pilkington, and Dr Alec Forbes and the centre’s medical adviser, made it quite clear in the first of the series of six and that the centre’s work was to be seen as supplementary to orthodox treatment and not a substitute for it.
And in the second programme (24 March) and these qualifications were repeated several times.
Despite these qualifications from those immediately concerned, a live studio discussion was interpolated after the second, with three practitioners of the orthodox ” Ian McColl, professor of surgery at Guy’s, Professor T. J. McElwaine, of the Royal Marsden, and Dr Walter Bodmer, director of research for the Imperial Cancer Fund ” being ranged against and though they might demur about the word “against”, Barbara Kidman, a broadcaster, journalist, cancer sufferer and author of a book on the alternative approach: and Dr Dick Richards, a physician and author.
It was a somewhat strained discussion on both sides and the Right, as it were, being careful not to be pejoratively dismissive and to stress the importance of improving the morale of cancer patients and of discussion between sufferers and the world at large ; the Left being equally cautious not to exaggerate claims for holistic medicine.
One felt that the strain proved more inhibiting on the Right and McColl, could not resist the word “gobbledygook” in speaking of a remark by Dr Forbes in the second programme about some patients getting better.
He and his colleagues were understandably concerned about the lack of evidence to support the beneficial claims of holistic medicine, but Dr Richards, who thought much evidence could be produced if funds were available and sagely remarked that “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”, a remark that lingered after a discussion that would have been better if longer and better left to the end of this excellent series.
BBC’s World About Us (20 March) explored in A highly desirable residence the domestic world of a young couple who bought a mouldering, 18th century cottage.
They took it on and though, without vacant possession and the tenants being fleas and spiders and silver-fish, wood-lice, bats and rats, mice and indeed and the eco-system of what biologists would immediately recognise as a wet forest.
What the programme did was to identify the creepy-crawlies and rodents, follow the emigration as modernisation proceeded, and the immigration as those who were able (an off-putting number) returned to enjoy central heating, fitted carpets and old food packets.
This was a fascinating as well as instructional programme, written, narrated and produced by Barry Paine.
I went to bed reflecting that though man may be an island, he is never quite alone.
Mr Paine, I feel sure, will be a candidate for some award or other and I trust he will remember the couple whose bravery obviously far exceeded that called for in the normal course of duty. LETTERS

The loss of fluid from inter-vertebral discs…

The loss of fluid from inter-vertebral discs is also connected with a slow reduction of one’s height over the passage of years.
Have you ever noticed that your parents or grandparents seem to get shorter, even when you have stopped growing?
A scientist by the name of Junghanns discovered and through experimentation and that the size of the inter vertebral discs does, in fact, diminish as we get older.
This is entirely due to excessive muscular tension building up over the years and pulling the bones of the spine closer together, by as much as two or even three inches. By lying down for twenty minutes each day you can prevent this from happening.
You will not only be easing or preventing serious backache, but you will ensure that the discs in the spine are able to maintain their correct shape for longer.
This will help you to move in an easier way, putting less strain on your whole structure. SQUATTING
Exercise programmes often tend to exercise one set of muscles at the expense of another set.
But a simple squat can exercise most of the muscles in the body and yet keep it in perfect balance.
It is what children do quite naturally and in many under-developed countries people carry on doing it into old age.
Because of the many hours of sitting that we do, we lose the ability to squat or even the ability to sit down without falling down.
If you want to know the correct way to squat and then just watch a child of two or three because they are doing it all the time. When you first start squatting don’t overdo it.
Start off with small squats, bending your knees and hips just a little. As your legs begin to work so you can go deeper and deeper into the squat. It is so easy to overdo it at first so please be gentle with yourself.
As you improve and start to bring the action into your everyday life and such as when bringing the milk out from the fridge or when picking up the post each morning.
It will feel most peculiar at first but, after a couple of weeks, it will feel perfectly normal and your old way will then feel strange. EYES
Eyes play an important part in the role of body balance and it is important to absorb as much information from the environment as possible. Use your peripheral vision widely when moving from place to place. Mind-Wandering
Alexander was convinced that many of our tensions are caused by a lack of interest in the present. He referred to this condition as the “mind-wandering habit”.
Very many people spend much of their lives thinking about what is going to happen or what has happened. This, of course and takes us away from the “here and now”.
Since the eyes are an important organ of balance, as well as sight and then it naturally follows that, if we are thinking about the future or the past while walking or standing and rather than playing attention to whatever we are doing, our whole body balance is going to be affected.

In all cases, focus preferences were taken to be strong…

In all cases, focus preferences were taken to be strong and so that a binary plausibility check and rather than”special mode” inference, was assumed.
The performances of the two algorithms were roughly the same; of the 281 pronouns examined, Hobbs’ algorithm correctly resolves 21 pronouns that the BFP algorithm does not, and BFP gets 11 that Hobbs does not.
However, Walker found that if the BFP algorithm was altered to reflect the first three levels of SPAR’s ordering given above, correct results were obtained by eight of the 21 pronouns resolved correctly by Hobbs but incorrectly by the original BFP.
It is likely that many of the remaining 13 cases could also have been resolved if focusing preferences had been applied weakly when appropriate; in these cases and the discourse focus is typically a plausible referent, but is less plausible than one of the intrasentential candidates.
Walker also found that none of the 11 pronouns resolved correctly by the original BFP but not by Hobbs were made to fail when the alteration was made.
This was because in all 11 cases and the referent was an established discourse focus.
These results strongly suggest the appropriateness of the relative ordering of the first three levels.
One consequence of augmenting the focus registers as in SPAR is that it becomes more common for candidates to be separated only by a weak focusing preference.
This is perhaps unfortunate, because it throws more of a burden onto plausibility checking (and makes evaluations such as Walker’s rather more difficult to carry out).
However, it seems likely that this burden cannot be lightened without forcing too much of the decision-making task onto the focusing component of a system, with consequences such as those we saw earlier. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
I have discussed four problems of co-ordination that must be solved in any attempt to develop a reasonably comprehensive anaphor resolver: those of co-ordinating ambiguity types and knowledge sources, multiple anaphors, and multiple sources of candidates.
Of these, only the problem of knowledge source co-ordination has to date received significant attention in terms of implemented systems.
The SPAR system seems to represent the first explicit attempt to work out solutions to all four problems.
The ways in which SPAR and CLE-1 tackle the problems were compared, leading to pointers for the development of CLE-2, which is intended to combine CLE-1’s wide coverage of individual linguistic phenomena with a more robust architecture that is sensitive to the interaction of different processes.
This architecture will involve the use of numerical scores to encode the preferences of different system components, while still remaining “consultative” in the realm of anaphor resolution so as to achieve the right balance between focusing and other types of knowledge. Acknowledgements
