In a makeshift circle, 5 or more players gather to begin a game of Cadillac. Anyone may join the circle spontaneously if no players have gotten out of the circle. The hackysack is ALWAYS alive if it has not touched one of two things: any player's hands or the ground. A hackysack perched on a windowsill or a car may be picked up with elbows or kicked off and back into play. When 3 or more players have hit the hackysack once each (with any body part except hands), a player may catch the hackysack and shout "CADILLAC!", thereby "getting a cadil ...

In an article published on September 16, 2004 in The New England Journal of Medicine, Margaret S. Livingstone, professor of neurobiology of Harvard Medical School, suggests that Rembrandt, whose eyes failed to align correctly, suffered from stereo blindness. She made this conclusion after studying 36 of Rembrandt's self-portraits. Because he could not form a normal binocular vision, his brain automatically switched to one eye for many visual tasks. This disability could have helped him to flatten images as he saw, and then put ...

In all, Rembrandt produced around 600 paintings, 300 etchings, and 2,000 drawings. He was a prolific painter of self-portraits, producing almost a hundred of them (including some 20 etchings) throughout his long career. Together they give us a remarkably clear picture of the man, his looks, and — more importantly — his emotions, as misfortune and sorrow etched wrinkles in his face. Among the prominent characteristics of his work are his use of chiaroscuro, often using stark contrasts, thus drawing the viewer into the painting; his ...

Rembrandt was born on July 15, 1606 in Leiden, the Netherlands. Conflicting sources state that his family either had 7, 9 or 10 children. His family was quite well to do; his father being a miller, his mother a baker's daughter. As a boy he attended Latin school and was enrolled at the University of Leiden, although according to a contemporary he had more inclination towards painting. His parents gave in and he was apprenticed with a Leiden history painter, Jacob van Swanenburgh. After a brief but important apprenticeship with the famous pai ...

Main article: Night Watch (painting) Rembrandt painted The Militia Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq between 1640 and 1642. This picture was called the Patrouille de Nuit by the French and the Night Watch by Sir Joshua Reynolds because, upon its discovery, the picture was so dimmed and defaced by time that it was almost indistinguishable and it looked quite like a night scene. After it was cleaned, it was discovered to represent broad day — a party of musketeers stepping from a ...

Roy Meadow - The Clark case. This trend was to reach its apogee in 1999 when solicitor Sally Clark was tried for allegedly murdering her two babies. Her elder son Christopher had died at the age of 11 weeks, and her younger son Harry at 8 weeks. Medical opinion was divided on the cause of death, and several leading paediatricians testified that the deaths were probably natural. Experts acting for the prosecution initially diagnosed that the babies had been shaken to death, but three days before the trial ...

The Copenhagen Consensus project has been widely criticised. Some critics, including economists (Sachs, 2004) have questioned the validity of its cost-benefit approach to extremely complex and scientifically uncertain situations, its use of particular discount rates to generate current and future values, its assumptions about the availability of aid and, more broadly, the competence of a panel consisting exclusively of professional economists to make assessments across such a wide range of subject matter. Other critics may be sceptical of th ...

When using special relativity's relativistic Doppler relationships to calculate the change in energy and frequency (assuming no complicating route-dependent effects such as those caused by the frame-dragging of rotating black holes), then the Gravitational redshift and blueshift frequency ratios are the inverse of each other, suggesting that the "seen" frequency-change corresponds to the actual difference in underlying clockrate. Route-dependence due to frame-dragging may come into play, which invalidates this method and makes establishing globally-agreed differenc ...

Influenced in racial hygiene and Social Darwinism by his brother-in-law Alfred Ploetz, Rüdin started his career as a psychiatrist and developed the concept of "empirical genetic prognosis" of mental disorders. He published his initial results on the genetics of schizophrenia in 1916. Rüdin was the director (1917-1945) of the Genealogical-Demographic Department at the German Research Institute of Psychiatry. Ernst Rüdin was the director of the one of the first eugenics research institutes, known as the Kaiser Wilhelm Institut ...

"The significance of Rassenhygiene did not become evident to all aware Germans until the political activity of Adolf Hitler and only through his work has our 30 year long dream of translating Rassenhygiene into action finally become a reality." - Ernst Rüdin "Whoever is not physically or mentally fit must not pass on his defects to his children. The state must take care that only the fit produce children. Conversely, it must be regarded as reprehensible to withhold healthy children from the state." - Ernst Rüdin at a speech to the German Soc ...

Dr. Breggin is among the world's foremost critics of psychiatric drugs, and an advocate for psychological and social human services. For over three decades, Dr. Breggin has campaigned against the myriad dangers of psychoactive drugs, electroshock, psychosurgery, coercive involuntary treatment, and biological theories of psychiatry. Breggin has scorned the pharmaceutical industry for propagating disinformation, alleging drug companies have built largely fabricated markets by relentlessly spreading a false message that psychiatric drugs ...

In 1971, Breggin founded the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology (ICSPP), a nonprofit research and educational network. The Center is dedicated to shedding light upon the impact of mental health theory and practices upon individual well-being, personal freedom, and family and community values. He also founded the peer-review journal, Ethical Human Sciences and Services. Since 1964 Dr. Breggin has published many peer-reviewed articles and medical books in his subspecialty of clinical psychopharmacology, and ...

The gravitational weakening of light from high-gravity stars was predicted by John Michell in 1783, using Isaac Newton's concept of light as being composed of ballistic light corpuscles (see: emission theory). The effect of gravity on light was then explored by Laplace and Johann Georg von Soldner (1801) before Einstein rederived the idea from scratch in his 1911 paper on light and gravitation. Einstein was accused by Lenard of plagiarism for not citing Soldner's earlier work - however, given that the idea had fallen so far into obscu ...
