Mitt Romney’s Dilemma: Picking a Running Mate if He’s the GOP Nominee. It’s early, but who’s on the shortlist—Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley? Howard Kurtz on the pluses and minuses of potential Mitt running mates after his decisive win in New Hampshire. It’s a bit too soon, even in the aftermath of his New Hampshire victory, for Mitt Romney to start picking a running mate. But it’s not too early for us to have some fun thinking about it.
The veepstakes is one of the great political parlor games, an exercise both fascinating and overrated. (Could Hillary Clinton be an exception? If Romney is indeed the GOP nominee, he faces the most important decision of his campaign—not because a running mate will drag him across the finish line, but because the country will judge the way he makes his first presidential-level decision. In the old days, geographic balance was practically a must. A second consideration is selecting someone who can deliver a crucial state. The final measure, ideological balance, may still resonate. Chris Christie. Marco Rubio. Information metabolism. Antoni Kępiński (November 16, 1918 – June 8, 1972) was a Polish psychiatrist.
Later he was freed and came to Britain, spending a short time with the Polish aircraft division. In 1944-5, he continued his medical studies in Edinburgh graduating in 1946. Soon he returned to Poland and took up psychiatry at the Psychiatric Clinic of Collegium Medicum in Kraków. As a concentration camp inmate himself he took part in a rehabilitation programme for survivors from the Auschwitz concentration camp. [edit] Information metabolism is a psychological theory of human social interactions based on information processing[citation needed]. According to Augustinavičiūtė, humans can be classified in terms of types of information processing, or "information metabolism". See also[edit] Socionics References[edit] Bielecki, A. (2000) A mathematical model of Kepinski's information metabolism model theory. Bibliography[edit] His books: External links[edit]
Socionics. Socionics, in psychology and sociology, is a theory of information processing and personality type, distinguished by its information model of the psyche (called "Model A") and a model of interpersonal relations. It incorporates Carl Jung's work on Psychological Types with Antoni Kępiński's theory of information metabolism. Socionics is a modification of Jung's personality type theory that uses eight psychic functions, in contrast to Jung's model, which used only four. These functions process information at varying levels of competency and interact with the corresponding function in other individuals, giving rise to predictable reactions and impressions—a theory of intertype relations.[1] The central idea of socionics is that information is intuitively divisible into eight categories, called information aspects or information elements, which a person's psyche processes using eight psychological functions.
History[edit] Organizations[edit] There are several socionics organizations. Aušra Augustinavičiūtė. Aušra Augustinavičiūtė (April 4, 1927 – August 19, 2005) was a Lithuanian psychologist and sociologist, and dean of the Vilnius Pedagogical University's department of family science, author of numerous scientific theories and discoveries, and the founder of Socionics. According the International Institute of Socionics, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences recognized Socionics as a discovery and awarded Dr. Augustinavičiūtė a diploma and a medal named after Pyotr Kapitsa in 1995.[1] Augustinavičiūtė was born not far from the city of Kaunas, in Lithuania.
In 1956 she graduated from the economic faculty of Vilnius University as a financier. She worked at the Ministry of Finance of Lithuania and later as a teacher of political economics and sociology in different educational institutions in Vilnius. Her scientific works, with the exception of few, were not published during the period of Soviet power, but became more and more popular during the 1990s. Fingerprinting.

Socionics Workshop. The decline effect and the scientific method. On September 18, 2007, a few dozen neuroscientists, psychiatrists, and drug-company executives gathered in a hotel conference room in Brussels to hear some startling news. It had to do with a class of drugs known as atypical or second-generation antipsychotics, which came on the market in the early nineties. The drugs, sold under brand names such as Abilify, Seroquel, and Zyprexa, had been tested on schizophrenics in several large clinical trials, all of which had demonstrated a dramatic decrease in the subjects’ psychiatric symptoms.
As a result, second-generation antipsychotics had become one of the fastest-growing and most profitable pharmaceutical classes. By 2001, Eli Lilly’s Zyprexa was generating more revenue than Prozac. It remains the company’s top-selling drug. But the data presented at the Brussels meeting made it clear that something strange was happening: the therapeutic power of the drugs appeared to be steadily waning.
The study turned him into an academic star. ESE – Ethical Sensing Extratim Type Description. The trademark quality of this type is a focus on socializing and guiding social situations and interactions so that the people involved can have fun and enjoy themselves. ESEs are typically in the middle of what is happening socially and know about the latest events and what people think and feel about them. They are skilled at bringing people together in fun and interesting ways and making everyone feel actively involved.
Their friends know them as people who love life and feel most at home in social situations surrounded by other fun people. In their pursuit of fun-oriented and stimulating social interactions, ESEs typically neglect to structure their own thought processes and views in a way that would help them know exactly what they think and why. They are receptive to others’ attempts to help them introduce more structure and logical consistency in their life and thinking processes. Compilation of Duality Descriptions (V.Meged, A.Ovcharov.)

Speed Is Life - Plane & Pilot Magazine | PlaneAndPilotMag.com. Tuesday, December 1, 2009 By Brian Shul As a former SR-71 pilot, and a professional keynote speaker, the question I’m most often asked is “How fast would that SR-71 fly?” I can be assured of hearing that question several times at any event I attend. It’s an interesting question, given the aircraft’s proclivity for speed, but there really isn’t one number to give, as the jet would always give you a little more speed if you wanted it to. It was common to see 35 miles a minute. So it was with great surprise, when at the end of one of my presentations, someone asked, “What was the slowest you ever flew in the Blackbird?” I was flying the SR-71 out of RAF Mildenhall, England, with my back-seater, Walt Watson; we were returning from a mission over Europe and the Iron Curtain when we received a radio transmission from home base.
Walter had a myriad of sophisticated navigation equipment in the back seat, and began to vector me toward the field. Add Comment.

The Niʻihau Incident (or Battle of Niʻihau) occurred on December 7, 1941, when Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service pilot Shigenori Nishikaichi crash-landed his Zero on the Hawaiian island of Niʻihau after participating in the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was killed in a struggle with people on the island. The island's Native Hawaiian residents were initially unaware of the attack, but apprehended Nishikaichi when the gravity of the situation became apparent.
Nishikaichi then sought and received the assistance of three locals of Japanese descent in overcoming his captors, finding weapons, and taking several hostages. In the end Nishikaichi was killed by the wife of Niihauan Benehakaka "Ben" Kanahele,[1] who was wounded in the process, and one of Nishikaichi's confederates, Yoshio Harada, committed suicide. Background[edit] Niʻihau, the westernmost and second smallest of the primary Hawaiian Islands, has been privately owned by the Robinsons, a white kamaʻaina family, since 1864. Endgame[edit] TIL that one Hawaiian island is privately owned, inhabited almost entirely by natives who live off the land, and largely off limits to outsiders. : todayilearned. Niihau. Geography[edit] Niʻihau is located about 18 miles (29 km) west of Kauaʻi, and the tiny, uninhabited island of Lehua lies 0.7 miles (0.61 nmi; 1.1 km) north of Niʻihau. Niʻihau's dimensions are 6.2 miles by 18.6 miles (10 km x 30 km).
The maximum elevation (Paniau) is 1,280 feet (390 m). The island is about 4.9 million years old, making it geologically younger than the 5 million year old neighboring island of Kauaʻi to the northeast.[7] Niʻihau consists of one extinct volcano that had a large landslide to the east. Climate[edit] The island is relatively arid because it lies in the rain shadow of Kauaʻi, and lacks the elevation needed to catch significant amounts of trade wind rainfall. Flora and fauna[edit] View of the rugged cliffs of windward Niʻihau (the northeastern shore) Big game herds, imported from stock on Molokaʻi Ranch in recent years, roam Niʻihau's forests and flatlands.
