Many children are living in Victorian conditions – it’s an inequality timebomb | Frances Ryan What does it mean to be one of the richest countries in the world? I wondered this as I read through the report by the Children’s Commission on Poverty (CCP) at the end of last year, in which British children describe the hunger that comes with not being able to afford lunch, or the wait for a “good day” when their mum has 25p spare for a snack. I was reminded of this by the teaching union NASUWT’s warning this week that there are children in this country living in “Victorian conditions”, turning to charity for regular meals and going without a winter coat. Britain’s economic recovery can be felt in the lives of “hardworking taxpayers”, David Cameron claimed at a rally on Easter Monday. The union’s message is clear: the financial crisis is impacting on the poorest children’s attainment. There is no such thing as an equal life chance in Britain. As further evidence of this, the educational “achievement gap” between richer and poorer children is widening, as of this year.
Theory of Knowledge at Northeast HS Galvanismo Caricatura de un cadáver galvanizado. Galvanismo, teoría de Luigi Galvani según la cual el cerebro de los animales produce electricidad que es transferida por los nervios, acumulada en los músculos y disparada para producir el movimiento de los miembros. Esta singular teoría recorrió los claustros universitarios europeos entre finales del siglo XVIII y primeras décadas del XIX. Los experimentos con animales, y hasta con cadáveres humanos, alentaban la secreta esperanza de que, mediante la electricidad, pudieran sanarse enfermedades que provocaban parálisis y aún reanimar un cuerpo muerto. Esas experiencias pueden considerarse un remoto antecedente del desfibrilador cardíaco moderno. En 1818, en la universidad de Glasgow, el médico Andrew Ure maravilló a un auditorio popular aplicando corriente al nervio frénico izquierdo y al diafragma del cadáver de un ajusticiado en la horca, con lo que logró la reanimación del cuerpo.

Ejemplo de imagen de Herbarium diluvianum Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (Zúrich, 2 de agosto de 1672 - 23 de junio de 1733) fue un médico y naturalista suizo, conocido sobre todo por su interpretación de los fósiles como vestigios del diluvio universal (teoría del Diluvio). Biografía[editar] Hijo de un médico municipal, Scheuchzer nace en Zúrich en 1672. Finalizados sus estudios, no se producen vacantes de los cuatro médicos oficiales de Zúrich, a fin de mejorar su currículo, trabaja en sociedades científicas y en las academias de la ciudad. Munido de un vasto y detallado catálogo, conteniendo más de 220 preguntas, se informa de conocimientos de toda Suiza sobre la naturaleza y las condiciones meteorológicas de las localidades donde habitan cada especie. De una importancia particular fueron sus primeras mediciones de altitud sirviéndose de instrumentos barométricos, en vez de usar los clásicos cálculos trigonométricos por esencia poco fiables.

Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae The Great Art of Light and Shadow "The truth is, this Jesuit, as generally the most of his order, have a great ambition to be thoughte the greate and learned men of the world; and to that end writes greate volumes, on all subjects, with gay pictures and diagrams to set them forth, for ostentation And to fill up those volumes, they draw in all things, by head and shoulders; and these too for the most part, stolen from other authors. So that if that little, which is their owne, were separated from what is borrowed from others, or impertinent to their present arguments, their swollen volumes would shrink up to the size of our Almanacks. But enough of these Mountebankes*."[Robert Payne in a letter to Gilbert Sheldon, 1650]{*mountbanke = charlatan} "Whatsoever Mr. Frontispiece: 'Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae' "Angels form an arc under the central light, which is YHWH, the Hebrew letters for God. ‘The Selenic Shadowdial or the Process of the Lunation’ Universal horoscope of the Society of Jesus
