Autism spectrum disorder or reactive attachment disorder? Differential diagnostic clues Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and reactive attachment disorder (RAD) share many similar traits, but have different aetiology and prognosis, and should therefore be understood and treated differently. The literature on the topic is, however, sparse. Based on an extensive litterature search, this paper describes similarities and differences in behavioural markers between the two disorders. Diagnostic instruments may not discriminate between the conditions. Disordered social behaviour, information about assumed pathogenic care, cognitive problems, expressive language problems, stereotypes, difficulties in emotional regulation and problems with joint attention should not be considered as dependable differential diagnostic clues. The two conditions may best be separated on basis of underlying intact social ability as well as rapid and comprehensive recovery as seen in RAD (given that satisfying care conditions are established); and deviance in pragmatic language, restricted interests and theory-of-mind problems in ASD.

Attachement in foster care: a treatment approach Attachement issues in foster care are examined with special focus on preschool children. Children in foster care are at risk for psychological problems, due to their experiences with adverse life conditions. Attachement theory can give useful contributions to understanding developmental processes for foster children, where secure attachement is acknowledged as a protective factor. However, research indicates that there can be difficulties for children who are placed in foster care after 12–18 months of age, to form secure attachements. Their previous attachement experiences have a strong impact in forming new relationships. In many cases there is a need for interventions that directly target the forming of attachements in foster care. Research concerning treatment approaches is outlined in the article.

You're too busy hyperventilating over the fact that a guy is trying to make eye contact with you. (“You mean I have to talk to him? With my voice?!”) Luckily, there's hope for all you socially-deficient-yet-fabulous ladies in the house — and all thanks to a new study on oxytocin (the love hormone). Here's the 411. Although oxytocin's claim to fame is the warm and fuzzies it gives us about our romantic relationships, a recent published in Psychoneuroendocrinology revealed it also makes us more accepting of strangers. A lack of oxytocin could be the reason why so many of us are socially awkward when hanging with friends (in my case, I must not have any). As for what it does to your chances of meeting a guy there I go again, I'm all verklempt! The study deets As part of the study, participants watched a video of their own face morphing into an unfamiliar one, and vice versa. Jul 10, 2015. I just saw a question on yahoo answers asking women if they would date a guy who is 'nerdy and socially awkward.' Here are two of the answers: 'Nerdy and socially. Dating is a stage of romantic relationships in humans whereby two people meet socially, possibly as friends or with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability. Dating Tips for Socially Awkward Guys! We know, we know, we're slackers! John and Lisa finally respond to some viewer mail. The buzzfeed community what you are 15 dating problems only awkward. However you understand. Anyway, dating tips, the post for the root of us end up on that normal people developed in popular culture. Have my awkwardness. Wimpiness may be very self conscious of your date with some type of the creepy messages. Hey Jen, It’s great that you have these kinds of friends. Few people, socially awkward or not, can say they have friends for life. The risk though is that if you. Posts about Captain Awkward’s Dating Guide for Geeks written by JenniferP — Captain Awkward Advice. I figured he was just being kind of socially. Those who'd been given oxytocin in the form of nasal spray identified and accepted the new face more quickly when it appeared. Also, when they weren't given the spray, they rated their own face as more pleasing, but after a good ol' hormone boost, the attractiveness between the familiar and unfamiliar faces evened out (bow chicka wow wow!). The flip side of the coin Obviously, there's still a lot of research that needs to be done — another discovered that oxytocin has a dark side (dun dun duuun!). Scientists at Northwestern found that the hormone strengthens social memory in a specific part of the brain, so depending on how bad the experience was, it could actually make your social awkwardness worse. (When I start feeling awkward around my cat, then I know I'm in trouble.) What does this all mean? Now that they know both sides of the oxytocin coin, I'm sure it won't be long before they fully define the other factors that play a role — like your baseline anxiety level and other hormone levels — in order to create a successful treatment for social anxiety. The success of this potential breakthrough is really more to do with the action we take ourselves — we can't expect oxytocin to do all the work for us. Being socially awkward can feel like a complete nightmare, creepy funhouse mirrors and all, but a hormone fix can only take us so far. It can't charm a cute guy on our behalf or go out on a date for us. It can't help us through the Shakespearean tragedy we turn rejection into either. That's all on us which reminds me, I should really stock up on clinical strength deodorant. We already know avoiding awkwardness just makes things worse — you can only take up crocheting for so long. Until we have our big girl pants on though, it'd be nice to have a nasal spray wingwoman to help us through the initial stress of socializing so we can build some really fab relationships. We'll be waiting to hear from you scientists! We'll be the ones in the dark corner, fake texting someone while periodically staring at the floor. Throw us a bone, will you? More ways to nix awkwardness stat. Are you single and considering using an online dating site to meet someone? Are you already using dating sites, yet you can't find anyone to date you? Perhaps you've made it to the first date, but you can't seem to get anyone to date you again. My friend, you might just be a little socially awkward and you need some help! Just because you are a nerd, a dork, or lack some basic social skills doesn't mean you are undateable. There are plenty of socially awkward folks out there just like you that would like to meet that special someone. You just need some pointers on how to appeal to other online daters. The first step in online dating success is creating the best profile possible. First of all, try to think of a fun screen name when you first begin the profile process. Try to go with something that really reflects your personality, yet doesn't scare off potential daters. Complex mathematic equations might seem like a fun idea, but it is not an ideal screen name. Not only will it be difficult for most people to understand, it could also be difficult to remember. Go with something catchy and cute, and you will get more attention. When writing your profile, make sure to list a wide variety of interests. Also, make sure you are honest, too. Sure many women might like dating a smart bodybuilder that loves kittens and volunteers at the homeless shelter when he is not working late hours at the law office, but if none of that is true, what is to be gained? A relationship that starts with lies is not going to last. Instead, honestly list some of your interests. If your interests seem 'uncool' when listing them in your profile, why not try some new activities? Just because you've spent a better part of your life in the basement playing video games and Warhammer doesn't mean that is all you have to offer the world. You could still try bowling, golf, running, knitting, photography, swimming, etc. It doesn't mean you shouldn't list all your interests, including some of the not-so-cool activities, in your profile. I am merely suggesting most folks do a lot better when their interests seem very well rounded. It also helps if you make sure to put some real thought into your profile. Make sure to check your spelling and your grammar. You should also make sure to include at least a couple of paragraphs. When your profile is poorly written or very short, it makes others feel like you are not putting any effort into dating. You are a lot less likely to find a date that way. Books on Online Dating GET PAST THE PROFILE AND START DATING WITH THIS COMPLETE GUIDE TO FINDING ROMANCE ONLINEDating virtuoso and profile expert Lisa Hoehn has helped thousands of people meet, date. This comprehensive guide is packed with practical advice for women who want the most positive results with online dating. It will teach you how to optimize your online presence. Ever wonder what the real reasons are why women don't respond? Wonder if there really is a formula for success in online dating? In this book you’ll discover the secret “Game Ch. One of the most important aspects to online dating is posting photos. Even if you don't want to build a relationship based on appearances, photos can say a lot about a person. You need photos on your profile and you should at least post a few. When you don't post any photos, many members on the site will think you just have something to hide. Don't be that person! When posting photos, make sure to choose some pictures that are action shots. I am not talking about you leaping out of an airplane or anything, but a photo that shows you having fun makes others want to have fun with you. I understand when one is socially awkward your coolest photos might involve you sitting around playing video games or looking lonesome in front of a webcam. These photos are not going to work. You can maybe post one photo like that, but post some photos of yourself actually getting up and having fun. Photos at the beach, amusement parks, comic book conventions, dressed up like Harry Potter, or going to a Halloween haunted house are all good examples of activity photos. Sure dressing like Harry Potter or investigating comic books is taking a chance, but it shows your interests and will appeal to others who enjoy the same activities. Just make sure not to post 5 Star Trek convention photos and make sure not all of your photos have a Lord of the Rings theme. It is one thing to seem quirky; it is quite another to seem obsessed. Don't forget to smile in your photos. If you are glaring into the camera, you are going to scare dates away. When you smile, you will seem warm and friendly. In general, most folks want to go out with a person that can make them happy. If you look angry or sad, you are not going to attract the most well-adjusted people on the planet. If you are interested in dating miserable people, then by all means post sad or disturbing photos. Otherwise, smile for the camera! If someone approaches you online or you decide to approach someone, this can be very difficult for the socially awkward dater. Make sure not to scare your potential date away. Examples of inappropriate conversations are: • Talking obsessively about sci-fi topics, academic subjects, or video games. • Asking for sex immediately. • Telling someone you are a virgin immediately. • Discussing hanging out in a parent's basement too much. • Mentioning a fascination with serial killers or criminal activity. • Obsessing over an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend. • Insisting on meeting at someone's house instead of out in public. • Discussing body functions, such as farting, vomiting, sweating, etc. Aside from staying away from the topics listed above, it is important not to be too aggressive. Many online daters will send message after message without receiving a response. Not only is this creepy, it will probably make the other person block you. Another big no-no is obsessing over one person you'd like to date. On many dating sites, a member can see how often a person visits his or her page. If you are online stalking someone, that person is going to figure it out and not want to date you. If someone does reject you, don't make a big fuss over it. You can't talk someone out of not wanting to date you. The more you argue, the scarier you are going to seem to that person. It doesn't matter if you love pugs and he has two pet pugs. This is still just some dude your met online and having one thing in common does not make you soul mates. When a person rejects you, accept it and move on with your life. Once you do get through the initial communication process, it is time to actually go out on a date. Remember some basic rules for online dating: meet in a public place and plan a very basic first date. There really is no need to plan a day trip with someone you barely know. For that matter, it is probably not even a safe idea. The longer the date, the more pressure you put on yourself and your date. Simply meeting up at a coffee shop is a perfectly safe acceptable date. This way, if the date does not work out, no big deal. You spent a little time at a coffee shop, spent a little money, and now both of you can go your own way. If you are feeling bold and brave, you could opt to meet for dinner or lunch. I would only recommend that type of date if the two of you have been communicating for a while and not just online. If you feel comfortable on the phone with that person and you know you have great conversations, a dinner date can work out. If you barely know anything about the person sitting across from you, the date can be super awkward. While on the date, remember to be on your best behavior. Do you remember the list we discussed above? Those topics are still not permitted while on a date either. It is OK to let your inner nerd show some during the date, but don't overwhelm your date with too many boring details. It will make you appear obsessive. Since we are on the topic of inappropriate conversations, you should also avoid inappropriate behavior. Don't try to start hanging all over your date when you don't know each other that well. After a simple coffee date, going in for a kiss is probably too much. However, a hug is not that unreasonable. Insisting on making out with a date is super creepy, especially if your date looks disgusted if you bring it up. For that matter, as a general rule, if your date looks disgusted by anything you do, stop doing it! If you follow some of the basic rules, I believe you will be on your way to online dating success in no time. Just because you may have some personality quirks doesn't mean you are undateable. Plenty of nerds, freaks, weirdos, dorks, and uncool people find someone special. It is actually cool to be uncool right now, so embrace your inner dork and go out on some dates!

Apparently they had a DJ coming in too, because he was setting up while we were drinking. The place still has it’s ambience and some of the trendy crowd still seems to be there, but it’s lost some of it’s lustre. I don’t know that this can be attributed just to Fhima’s though. For a while there St. Paul was the scene when all the places clustered around Lawson were new. They drew some of the Minneapolis crowd away and some of the 9 to 5’ers stuck around to check out the new places, but I think on the whole for the trendy scene St. Paul is played out. It seems with the new bars and clubs opening, once again Minneapolis is the late night destination.Pros + Still the same Fhima’sCons – *STILL* the same Fhima’s. I’ve never had full on dinner at View, but it’s the perfect happy hour spot! Also great for business meetings. They have great specials on appetizers and drinks, which can easily become a meal.

Three of us went to a Rise Against show in Feb. It started out with us walking to the Myth from a nearby hotel, I think it was at least 20 below. We stood in line for at least an hour waiting to get, which is fine, I can handle that. Once we got in, got our drinks and looked around, we saw that the majority of the people that were in the crowd were ages 15 to maybe 18, which made me feel a little uncomfortable about drinking because I tend to get out of control at these events, but that still didn’t stop me from having a few. We watched the other bands that opened for Rise, they weren’t bad, but when Rise came on, I dragged my friend down into the mosh pit, everything was going fine until I looked back at my friend and her face was covered in bl00d. Some dude knocked her in the nose, giving her a black eye and messing up her nose pretty bad. We crowd surfed to the front to get her to security, who then took her to a back room. I tried to follow, but the chick wouldn’. I have fun at the lounge. They have 3 rooms with different music in each which is nice because it’s kind of like bar hopping without going outside. I have always found the staff to be friendly and I enjoy the fact that most of the people who are there are not the drunken college students doing 21 shots on their birthday type. The only negative aspect is that a number of times I have been there and it was really dead. With three separate rooms, they really need to pack the place to make it feel full and sometimes the attendance is just pitiful. I had fun regardless but, would have enjoyed it more if I didn’t have that sad “I threw a party and no one showed up” feel. Also, I went on one night when they advertised having belly dancers. I belly dance myself so I thought this would be really cool. However, it ended up being your standard gogo dancers wearing their bras and some kind of long fabric skirt thingy– not even a proper belly dance costume let alone dance! Seriously, thes.

As far as fourteen-year-old Jolly knows, she's the last polliwog still alive -- and this special talent makes her invaluable to the pirate captain who raised her. When someone sets a trap for Jolly's ship, she alone escapes. Washed up on a tiny island, she meets Munk, who has been raised in hiding. Munk longs to go to sea, but his parents are afraid of pirates. They have forbidden Munk to reveal his true identity -- he, too, is a polliwog. But pirates are not the only threat in the Caribbean. Evil forces are stirring, and a demon from the sea attacks and murders Munk's parents. Was the demon really after Munk? And Jolly, too? Why are the polliwogs so valuable, and who's willing to kill to possess them? Jolly and Munk must sail with a strange crew of outcasts, led by the mysterious Ghost Trader, to avenge their loved ones and try to stop an ancient, malevolent force known as the Maelstrom.

Kai Meyer has a lot of imagination and many great ideas to populate his fantasy worlds. Unfortunately his story-telling doesn't work well for me and just doesn't manage to evoke any feeling of “suspense” or “dread” or “mystery”, or even “fascination”. I just can't help but find the writing emotionally distant. A character dies, and I feel nothing. It's hard to describe, but I feel more like being told a story than experiencing the story together with the characters. These characters, especially the main cast, just don't seem to stand out in any way to me. They lack distinct voices and anything to make me care for them. They're just overall nice people, but don't have much of an individual character. As a matter of fact, my favorite character in this book was an eccentric woodworm! Everybody is also talking exactly the same way. The pirates sound the same as the third person narrator, teenagers the same as adults. All of them at times use completely old-fashioned words or expressions, that simply sound artificial to me (I can somehow accept the narrator sounding like my great-grandfather, but a pirate girl really shouldn't talk in a more refined way than everyday teenagers). There is not much to criticize concerning the actual story. It's a decent fantasy adventure book. Very much written for a young audience. I probably would have loved these books as a child or even teenager, too bad I was born too early. A definite recommendation for young readers. Older readers should get it from the library first. Especially if you like fantasy with pirates, this is for you. One thing about Meyer is that he certainly know how to create an original fantasy with odd and exciting elements that no one has ever seen or experienced before. There’s always a twinge of darkness that creeps into the heroes, making them questionable as to whether they are good or bad. With this series, there is no exception.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a short read and had a great sense of humour. I actually wanted to read this book because it has pirates in it. A simple reason, but I absolutely love the way how pirates are portrayed in books and I also found the story revolving around kids that can walk on water to be very intriguing. The book started in the middle of the action so it wasn't boring at all. The world-building was also done really well. The characters were also really interesting.

The book started in the middle of the action so it wasn't boring at all. The world-building was also done really well. The characters were also really interesting. There was definitely a lot of character development happening. When Munk first finds Jolly, she gets to know him as a friendly and happy boy, but then I was kind of shocked at the turn his personality took towards the end of the book. I thought that Jolly was a cool character because she is a girl pirate and that aspect was captured really well. I liked that she knew a lot about sea battles. My favourite character was by far the pirate Captain Walker. His humour was subtle and wry, which I really liked. Even though he is actually a side-character, he still has a really complex personality. Walker is the typical ruthless pirate and yet the more Jolly gets to know him, there seems to be more to him than that. Another thing I didn't really expect to see in this kind of book would be the love triangle. I'm not entirely sure. Anyways, now that I think about it, I should have predicted it and Jolly's kind of coldish reaction to it. Overall, the book did capture my attention, although I thought that the ending was kind of disappointing: the last chapter was boring to some extent. Nonetheless, the rest of the book made me want to keep on reading. I am looking forward to the next book! All young pirate fans, gather round.

The book's basic premise is of the Caribbean and pirates, which clearly benefits from the recent and huge popularity of The Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Despite this reliance on the current pirate fever, the author delivers a novel that adds creative and clever tweaks to the genre. The two main characters, Jolly and Munk (both 14 years), are the last Polliwogs--people who can walk on water. This in itself is interesting enough to carry this novel from being on-the-bandwagon to unique. But thankfully, Meyer doesn't stop there. With the kobalins, ghost crews, the Acheron (+ flopping fish), and other water beasts, the creativity in this novel promises readers that the rest of the series will be just as wonderful and new. Another interesting aspect of this book is that it was originally written in German. This had no effect on the reading experience for me. I didn't even know it until I read the author's note at the end. It's my first translated book though, and I have nothing to compare it with, so I'll say that it was a good, clear read. As far as the rest of this series, I cannot say that I am going to read it. I don't doubt its brilliance, it's just that I specifically picked this young teen book up because the cool idea of a pirate-polliwog--I knew going into it that it would be too young for me. I was gladdened when I saw that it was exactly as I hoped it to be in the creative category. Alas, it was also exactly as I thought it would be in the reading-level category. Thus, while I shall not continue, I highly recommend it to younger teenagers. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, Pirates are not the only threat in the Caribbean.

Jolly and Munk must sail with a strange crew of outcasts, led by the mysterious Ghost Trader, to avenge their loved ones and try to stop an ancient, malevolent force known as the Maelstrom. What it will cost both teens, no one can tell. The book starts out in the middle of the Caribbean sea before Jolly is sent to an island in the middle of no where. They then travel to several different islands while they're heading to an island that's in the middle of the Caribbean sea. They stop at some taverns when they're stopping at an island for supplies. The pirates of the Caribbean have a name for kids who can walk on water -- they call them polliwogs. As far as 14-year-old Jolly knows, she's the last polliwog still alive. She is valuable to the pirate captain who raised her, for she can sneak up on an enemy ship by walking over the waves. I would recommend it to anyone who loves fiction. This book is really good and its hard to stop reading once you start. It should be for kids in middle school and high school. I believe the theme of this book is that no matter how hard things become and no matter how much people try to make you feel worthless, you should always look at the bright side of everything. You will always have someone that's there for you. Also when things get tough you should never give up on anything no matter how hard it becomes.

Bald darauf ueberschlagen sich die Ereignisse, denn in einer Parallelwelt in der ein dunkles tiefes Gewaesser tobt, hat Risse bekommen und durch diesen Riss dringen Gestalten in die andere Welt ein. Der 'Mahlstrom' hat es auf Jolly und Munk abgesehen.Jolly und Munk sind die letzten lebenden Quappen und haben die Faehigkeit ueber Wasser zu laufen. Mit diesem Buch taucht man ein in die Welt der Karibik und Piraten. Durchlebt Seegefechte und schleicht sich durch verwinkelte Gassen an den Piratenkoenig in seinem Unterschlupf an, es gibt messerwerfende Piratenprinzessinen und Klabautermaenner die unter dem Wasser lauern. Um nur ein paar Dinge zu nennen. Das Buch faengt mitten in einer Seeschlacht an und Schlag auf Schlag geht es in rasantem Tempo weiter. Waehrend es auch hier einige ungewoehniche Charaktaere gibt z.B. Der Pitbullmann, so fand ich alles in allem das ganze doch wesentlich stimmiger als z.B. In der fliessende Koenigin, in der mir alles einfach zu abgedreht erschien. Kurzum dies ist eine gelungene Mischung zwischen Abenteuer und etwas ungewoehnlichem Fantasyroman, der sich gut lesen laesst und keine Laengen aufkommen laesst. Munk and Jolly...

Jolly was raised by a pirate and she considers herself one of them to her core, but when the pirate she calls captain is betrayed - what can she do....? She runs for her life, right into the middle of adventure. Munk is a smart boy who has been isolated from civilization for his entire life. His parents are scared for him - knowing that the pirates that roam the Caribbean would kill to possess a Polliwog - sure that he is last of his kind. But then Jolly floats into his life and he is thrust into a world he has never known. Torn from the saftey of his island home he sails on a Ghost Ship, manned by the Ghost Trader - a man who deals in others souls. Neither of the Polliwogs can unserstand how much they are needed if man-kind is to survive, for the Maelstrom is rising, gaining power and the Mare Tenebrosum is setting a doorway into the deep. The Ghost Trader rallies around himself people to stand against the darkness and the Polliwogs are high on his list. Captain Walker, Buenaventure, Princess Soledad and Griffin - the card boy - are just a sliver of this stunning cast which support one of the best high seas adventures of all time!

Originally published in Germany in 2002, the first volume in the Wave Walkers series is a fast-paced fantasy featuring plenty of action and suspense as well as colorful characters and vividly described settings. The appealing jacket art promises just what the book delivers: pirates, magic, and daring deeds galore. If this wasn't a book meant for children I would probably give it five stars. Just a bit too simple for me. I probably would have loved this book had I discovered it when I was 12 (or so). As things are, it is very detailed with historical facts (loads better than some adult books even!) and had enough fun fantasy elements to stretch my imagination.

The other is a farm lad who who loses his parents in the first part of the novel. They can both walk on water, due to a strange magic that was released when Port Royal was destroyed. Together they have a few goals which will be seen to completion in the series (I assume). I enjoyed the story a lot. Great elements mixed with easy writing and clear descriptions. Would that it was an adult book with a bit more complexity! Then it'd be perfect. *WARNING: MY REVIEWS MAY HAVE SOME SPOILERS* It was a nice, solid story. How much better can it get?? I mean, there were pirates, people walking on water, 'oracles', and even monsters!! I wanted to give the book 4 stars but there were some problems that bothered me. One problem was that I didn't feel connected to the characters. Even when Munk's parents were dying, I didn't feel anything at all. I felt no sympathy or anything for him.

Rarely have I ever read book that leaves you with a HUGE cliffhanger. It's plain annoying when it happens. Other than that, I loved the story. I liked how Meyer wrote the book. I'm excited for the second book in the series. First of all, great pirate names: Jolly and Munk. I fully believe in great names. Like Catniss. What I like best about this story is that it’s not told from a first person view. And I think she employs it for this reason-you can be a lot more flexible writing in third person than in restrictive first person, even if first person gets you a bit deeper into the character.

The book starts off fast paced too and Meyer, just like me, doesn’t hold off with the swearing, although its good because she only uses it when its necessary. I really enjoyed reading this book. It reminded me a lot of “Pirates of the Caribbean.”. Is the best!!! In this awesome series!!! Or so i think. I loved the characters immediately the monsters the mysteriousness of it all. The Ghost trader is mysterious and easily annoyed which i liked, kind of a know it all. Munk, a unique name, very, totally, overall, shy, i missed the main boy having a braver better side but thats ok. Readers you know. The main girl, she is average (besides the fact that she is a polliwog) very likable, she had a small amount of Number 1!!! Is the best!!! In this awesome series!!! Or so i think.

Carbon dating in 1947 and over the next 12 years he researched and perfected the process. Libby discovered that when plants absorb. Radiocarbon, which is the basis of radiocarbon dating, was discovered at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory. The next step in the history of radiocarbon dating was the discovery by Korff that neutrons are produced. Exactly when this idea was born, but it was very soon after the author's plan was fixed to detect the effects. >> Carbon Dating Carbon Dating - What Is It And How Does It Work? This is how carbon dating works: Carbon is a naturally abundant element found in the atmosphere, in the earth, in the oceans, and in every living creature. C-12 is by far the most common isotope, while only about one in a trillion carbon atoms is C-14. C-14 is produced in the upper atmosphere when nitrogen-14 (N-14) is altered through the effects of cosmic radiation bombardment (a proton is displaced by a neutron effectively changing the nitrogen atom into a carbon isotope). The new isotope is called 'radiocarbon' because it is radioactive, though it is not dangerous. It is naturally unstable and so it will spontaneously decay back into N-14 after a period of time. It takes about 5,730 years for half of a sample of radiocarbon to decay back into nitrogen. It takes another 5,730 for half of the remainder to decay, and then another 5,730 for half of what's left then to decay and so on. The period of time that it takes for half of a sample to decay is called a 'half-life.' Radiocarbon oxidizes (that is, it combines with oxygen) and enters the biosphere through natural processes like breathing and eating. Plants and animals naturally incorporate both the abundant C-12 isotope and the much rarer radiocarbon isotope into their tissues in about the same proportions as the two occur in the atmosphere during their lifetimes. When a creature dies, it ceases to consume more radiocarbon while the C-14 already in its body continues to decay back into nitrogen. So, if we find the remains of a dead creature whose C-12 to C-14 ratio is half of what it's supposed to be (that is, one C-14 atom for every two trillion C-12 atoms instead of one in every trillion) we can assume the creature has been dead for about 5,730 years (since half of the radiocarbon is missing, it takes about 5,730 years for half of it to decay back into nitrogen). If the ratio is a quarter of what it should be (one in every four trillion) we can assume the creature has been dead for 11,460 year (two half-lives). After about 10 half-lives, the amount of radiocarbon left becomes too miniscule to measure and so this technique isn't useful for dating specimens which died more than 60,000 years ago. Another limitation is that this technique can only be applied to organic material such as bone, flesh, or wood. It can't be used to date rocks directly. Carbon Dating - The Premise Carbon dating is a dating technique predicated upon three things: • The rate at which the unstable radioactive C-14 isotope decays into the stable non-radioactive N-14 isotope, • The ratio of C-12 to C-14 found in a given specimen, • And the ratio C-12 to C-14 found in the atmosphere at the time of the specimen's death. Carbon Dating - The Controversy Carbon dating is controversial for a couple of reasons. First of all, it's predicated upon a set of questionable assumptions. We have to assume, for example, that the rate of decay (that is, a 5,730 year half-life) has remained constant throughout the unobservable past. However, there is strong evidence which suggests that radioactive decay may have been greatly accelerated in the unobservable past. 1 We must also assume that the ratio of C-12 to C-14 in the atmosphere has remained constant throughout the unobservable past (so we can know what the ratio was at the time of the specimen's death). And yet we know that 'radiocarbon is forming 28-37% faster than it is decaying,' 2 which means it hasn't yet reached equilibrium, which means the ratio is higher today than it was in the unobservable past. We also know that the ratio decreased during the industrial revolution due to the dramatic increase of CO 2 produced by factories. This man-made fluctuation wasn't a natural occurrence, but it demonstrates the fact that fluctuation is possible and that a period of natural upheaval upon the earth could greatly affect the ratio. Volcanoes spew out CO 2 which could just as effectively decrease the ratio. Specimens which lived and died during a period of intense volcanism would appear older than they really are if they were dated using this technique. The ratio can further be affected by C-14 production rates in the atmosphere, which in turn is affected by the amount of cosmic rays penetrating the earth's atmosphere. The amount of cosmic rays penetrating the earth's atmosphere is itself affected by things like the earth's magnetic field which deflects cosmic rays. Precise measurements taken over the last 140 years have shown a steady decay in the strength of the earth's magnetic field. This means there's been a steady increase in radiocarbon production (which would increase the ratio). And finally, this dating scheme is controversial because the dates derived are often wildly inconsistent. For example, 'One part of Dima [a famous baby mammoth discovered in 1977] was 40,000 RCY [Radiocarbon Years], another was 26,000 RCY, and 'wood found immediately around the carcass' was 9,000-10,000 RCY.'

Didn't do dirty, Twihards. Though she recently joked on NBC's Saturday Night Live that she is 'like, so gay,' the 26-year-old actress didn't mean to diminish the love they shared. 'I didn't talk about my first relationships that went public because I wanted things that are mine to be mine,' she tells. 'I hated it that details of my life were being turned into a commodity and peddled around the world. But considering I had so many eyes on me, I suddenly realized [my private life] affects a greater number of people than just me. It was an opportunity to surrender a bit of what was mine, to make even one other person feel good about themselves.' For Stewart, dating Pattinson yielded more attention than she ever wanted. 'If it didn't seem like a relevant topic, like something that needed help, I would have kept my life private forever. But then I can't walk outside holding somebody's hand, as I'm followed everywhere,' she says. 'When I was dating Rob, the public was the enemy—and that is no way to live. It wasn't this grand statement, 'I was so confused! Now I've realized who I am!' I have not been struggling.' As for why she decided to come out publicly, she says, 'It just seemed important, and topical.' Sure knows how to spend that -earned money!

Robert Pattinson's New Promise To Kristen Stewart About Dating. Aug 6th 2013. A source revealed all the deets, saying: 'Kristen has always collected pens, and has a variety of stylish ones. Rob decided to go big for her birthday this year and brought her a limited edition white gold Tibaldi Bentley Crewe fountain pen. He had her name specially engraved on it with the year and wording: 'From R' There are only 40 of these pens in the world, so it's a real collector's item.' He also added: 'The pens have a two-tone 18-carat yellow gold nib covered in rhodium and ruthenium The barrel is identical to Bentley's dashboard used in their earliest car.' It gets better. R-Patz also gave his ladylove an antique bracelet and asked her to officially move back in with him! The source said: “They've been taking it slowly, but Kristen has gradually won back his trust. Rob has taken a giant leap by officially suggesting they buy a love nest together.' Now, if doesn’t say, “I love you,” we don’t know what will. Sounds like these two are over the hump, HA!
