A Baker's Dozen: 13 Books Every White Man Must Read (probably in this order), in order to understand the current political milieu, the identity and intentions of its hegemons, and how to stop them:
1. The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem by Henry Ford
In the years 1920-22, Henry Ford published a series of articles critical of Jewish Power and its effects on White Christian America in The Dearborn Independent newspaper. Some years later he collected and published them in book form, as a multi-volume set. This book is an abridged version of that set, featuring the best of those original articles.
Repeatedly, over the years, Jewish Power brought itself to bear in assaulting Mr. Ford's integrity, intelligence, and memory in a calculated attempt to discredit him - including suing him in court and (possibly) forging an apology (see appendix). Throughout his lifetime, Mr. Ford always maintained the inherent truth in the criticisms of Jewish Elites contained in his essays and published them because he believed, if Americans knew the truth, those elites would be rendered impotent.
2. The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit by E. Michael Jones
Spanning over 2,000 years, this controversial book looks at the "Culture War" between Jews and Christians (particularly the Roman Catholic Church) for control over Western Society -- and ultimately the world -- from a social and historical perspective. Examining different significant battles throughout the centuries, Mr. Jones analyzes and explains the results of those battles in the context of current world events.
3. The Culture of Critique by Kevin MacDonald
MacDonald provides a theoretical analysis and review of data on the widespread tendency among highly influential, Jew-dominated intellectual movements to develop radical critiques of gentile culture that are compatible with the continuity of Jewish identification. These movements are viewed as the outcome of the fact that Jews and gentiles have different interests in the construction of culture and in various public policy issues (e.g. immigration policy, Israel). Several of these movements attempt to combat anti-Semitism by advocating social categorization processes in which the Jew/gentile distinction is minimized in importance. There is also a tendency to develop theories of anti-Semitism in which ethnic differences and resource competition are of minimal importance. From the perspective of the intellectual structures developed by these movements, anti-Semitism is analyzed as an indication of psychopathology among gentiles. In some cases, these movements appear to be attempts to develop a fundamental restructuring of the intellectual basis of gentile society in ways conducive to the advancement of Jewish interests.
Particular attention is paid to Boasian anthropology, psychoanalysis, leftist political ideology and behavior, and the Frankfurt School of Social Research. Each of these movements can be characterized as an authoritarian political movement centered around a charismatic leader who strongly identified as a Jew and who was idolized by his disciples who were also predominantly Jewish. Regarding immigration policy, Jewish political and intellectual activity was motivated less by a desire for higher levels of Jewish immigration than by opposition to the implicit theory that America should be dominated by individuals with northern and western European ancestry. Jewish policy was aimed at developing an America characterized by cultural pluralism and populated by groups of people from all parts of the world rather than by a homogeneous Christian culture and populated largely by people of European descent. This is a controversial analysis of particular interest to those concerned with evolutionary approaches to human behavior, with Judaica, and with an evolutionary perspective on history and psychology.
4. Dissecting the Holocaust: The Growing Critique of 'Truth' and 'Memory' by Germar Rudolf
The blockbuster anthology that struck Holocaust orthodoxy a body blow from which it has never recovered. Dissecting marshals the work of more than a dozen researchers to subject the conventional historiography of the "gas chambers," the "six million," the postwar trials, and other linchpins of the extermination story to careful, precise, methodical, and withering analysis.
Germar Rudolf on how chemical analysis gravely weakens the case for gassing in the Auschwitz-Birkenau crematoria, Carlo Mattogno and Franco Deana on the crematory ovens of Auschwitz, Robert Faurisson, Manfred Köhler, and Claus Jordan on how testimony was coerced and convictions manufactured, Fritz Berg, Ingrid Weckert, Carlo Mattogno, and Arnulf Neumaier on the technical and evidentiary absurdities of gassing claims for German trucks in gas chambers and at Majdanek and Treblinka, Udo Walendy and John Ball on analysis of photos alleged to depict the crimes or their locations, Rudolf on the evidence for Jewish losses during WWII, Jürgen Graf on myths about the concentration camps, and more.
Dissecting's handsome design and format lend themselves well to the numerous illustrations, charts, and diagrams with which these leading revisionists advance the wealth of evidence the book offers against the Holocaust myth. This is a book -- the book -- that every revisionist needs to own, and to read.
5. Secret Societies and Subversive Movements by Nesta Webster
Secret Societies and Subversive Movements is the seminal work in creating a unified conspiracy theory and does a masterful job in weaving the various strands together to show that all of the secret societies have identical roots and goals. Meaning that they all serve the same master: powerful Jewish interests.
6. Who We Are by William L. Pierce
Originally published as a series in his newspaper and magazine, this book is the final work of one of the most famous leaders of the White nationalist movement in America. Starting with the evolutionary origin of the White race, this book focuses on the the Classical Grecian and Roman civilizations, the White nations of the Middle East, the rise of the Germanic powers, the Vikings, Christianity, Nazi Germany, World War II and the racial crisis facing the West today. It contains, characteristically for the author, a highly critical appraisal of Jewish influence in Europe, and ends with a proposal of how the essence of the west can be saved. The book contains the entire text and almost all the illustrations which accompanied the original. It has also been fully indexed.
7. Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition by Kevin MacDonald
Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition argues that ethnic influences are important for understanding the West. The prehistoric invasion of the Indo-Europeans had a transformative influence on Western Europe, inaugurating a prolonged period of what is labeled "aristocratic individualism" resulting from variants of Indo-European genetic and cultural influence. However, beginning in the seventeenth century and gradually becoming dominant was a new culture labeled "egalitarian individualism" which was influenced by preexisting egalitarian tendencies of northwest Europeans. Egalitarian individualism ushered in the modern world but may well carry the seeds of its own destruction.
8. IQ and the Wealth of Nations by Lynn & Vanhanen
Lynn and Vanhanen test the hypothesis on the causal relationship between the average national intelligence (IQ) and the gap between rich and poor countries by empirical evidence. Based on an extensive survey of national IQ tests, the results of their work challenge the previous theories of economic development and provide a new basis to evaluate the prospects of economic development throughout the world.
They begin by reviewing and evaluating some major previous theories. The concept of intelligence is then described and intelligence quotient (IQ) introduced. Next they show that intelligence is a significant determinant of earnings within nations, and they connect intelligence with various economic and social phenomena. The sociology of intelligence at the level of sub-populations in nations is examined, and the independent (national IQ) and dependent (various measures of per capita income and economic growth rates) variables are defined and described. They then provide empirical analyses starting from the 81 countries for which direct evidence of national IQs is available; the analysis is then extended to the world group of 185 countries. The hypothesis is tested by the methods of correlation and regression analyses. The results of statistical analyses support the hypothesis strongly. The results of the analyses and various means to reduce the gap between rich and poor countries are discussed. A provocative analysis that all scholars, students, and researchers involved with economic development need to confront.
9. The Decline of the West by Oswald Spengler
Since its first publication more than eighty years ago, The Decline of the West has ranked as one of the most widely read and talked about books of our time. A sweeping account of Western culture by a historian of legendary intellect, it is an astonishingly informed, forcefully eloquent, thrillingly controversial work that advances a world view based on the cyclical rise and fall of civilizations.
10. The Dispossessed Majority by Wilmot Robertson
No one who reads this all-encompassing study of the American predicament will ever again view his country and himself in the same light. The author brilliantly recounts the tragedy of a great people, the Americans of European descent, who founded and built The United States and whose decline is the chief cause of America's decline. Although replete with cogent criticism of the people and events which have brought America low, the book ends on a positive, optimistic note, which envisions a resurgent American Majority liberating its institutions from the control of intolerant intellectuals innately programmed to destroy what they could never create.
11. Which Way Western Man by William Gayley Simpson
Throughout his long lifetime, William Gayley Simpson was a widely traveled and careful observer of Western civilization and its relations with the non-White peoples of the world, especially the Negro and the Jew. An exceptionally deep thinker, he traced the sickness that has overtaken the White man's world in the 20th century to its roots in Jewish world conspiracy and its coordinated aggressive moves against us. Simpson reveals the deception inherent in our money system, which isn't based on real wealth at all, but on debt and fantasy, and it cannot do other than cause trouble for the people condemned to use it as their medium of exchange.
The author also shows why Feminism is not the liberation of woman, but the enslaving of them to Jewish interests. Simpson reveals the fundamental incompatibility between Capitalism, which he calls "The Machine," and the human psyche. He goes into great detail about the physiological basis of Negro intellectual inferiority, quoting copiously from sources that once were readily available to the layman, but were censored from the popular media and removed to arcane medical journals after World War Two. And, of course, he exposes the nefarious Jew for the deadly parasite he is. Every racially-responsible White person will want this book in his collection, as it is very possibly the best book of racial philosophy originally written in the English language.
12. Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler
Hitler's magnum opus is as unread as it is infamous. While billions of words have been spilled on the subject of Hitler and his intentions, few have ever bothered to read the words of the man himself.
The shrill consistency of the winners who wrote history is evidence of hegemonic conditioning. That consistency is only matched by the consistency of Hitler himself. Over the following two decades, his actions remained true to the words written circa 1924-26. To understand whether Hitler was a demon, a hero, or something else altogether, it is necessary to compare his actions to the words written in this book.
13. Imperium by Francis Parker Yockey
No other work in defense of the West possesses the eloquence, erudition, passion and mystique of Imperium. This prophetic masterwork is at once a clarion call to arms in defense of Europe and the West, and a sweeping historical-philosophical treatise in the Spenglerian mold. A magisterial work of matchless prose, with historical insight on every page, it skewers Allied wartime propaganda, and philosophizes with a hammer in favor of a coming Western empire of "absolute politics."
The book's Chicago-born author, Francis P. Yockey, was just 30 years old when he wrote Imperium in six months in a quiet village on Ireland's eastern coast. His masterpiece continues to shape the thinking and steel the will of readers around the world. Tens of thousands of copies of have been sold worldwide, with foreign-language editions in Spanish, German, and Hungarian.
An expanded list of 101 books every White man should read is also available.

O.J. Simpson Fate In Hands of Parole Board
Nine years after being sent to prison for armed robbery, fallen American idol O. J. Simpson is to find out whether he will regain his freedom.

Three Britons On Trial In Singapore Accused of Gang-Raping Drunk Woman
The 70-year-old former football star and actor is to appear before a parole board in the western state of Nevada on Thursday which will decide his fate.
Simpson, who was famously acquitted in 1995 of the grisly murders of his ex-wife and a male companion, has been behind bars for his role in a September 2007 armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas resort.
A four-member panel of the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners will hold a hearing in Carson City to decide whether the former National Football League star should go free.
Simpson will not personally attend the 10:00 am (1700 GMT) hearing but will appear by videoconference from the Lovelock Correctional Center, the medium-security prison where he is serving his sentence.
Simpson was convicted in October 2008 of armed robbery, assault, kidnapping and other offenses after he and five associates — two of whom were armed — ambushed the two sports memorabilia dealers in a casino hotel room.
Simpson, who earned the nickname “The Juice” during his playing days, claimed he was trying to recover mementos from his career which he said the dealers had stolen.
A Las Vegas jury didn’t buy it. Simpson was sentenced to a minimum of nine years in prison and a maximum of 33.
He could be freed as early as October 1 if the board agrees to grant him parole.
Steve Wolfson, the current Clark County district attorney, told AFP he believes Simpson “makes an excellent candidate for parole.
“The fact that he is a celebrity will have very little bearing, if any,” Wolfson said. “He’s not going to be treated differently by the parole commissioners.”
Bruce Fromong, one of the victims of the 2007 Las Vegas robbery, told CNN that he planned to testify at the hearing in favor of Simpson’s release.
“I never thought that the crime deserved that much time, that long of a sentence,” Fromong said.
Orenthal James “O. J.” Simpson shot to fame in the 1970s with the Buffalo Bills after winning the prestigious Heisman Trophy as a running back at the University of Southern California.
He retired from football in 1979 after setting numerous rushing records and went on to become an advertising pitchman and actor (“The Towering Inferno, “The Naked Gun”).
In June 1994, Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and a friend of hers, Ron Goldman, were found stabbed to death outside her Los Angeles home.
Simpson was arrested after a low-speed car chase through Los Angeles which was broadcast live by television stations, watched by millions and shocked America.
He was acquitted in October 1995 after a racially charged nine month trial, with a verdict that was greeted with disbelief by many Americans.
Public views on the African-American athlete’s guilt or innocence divided sharply along racial lines.
Simpson was subsequently found liable for the deaths in a 1997 civil suit and was ordered to pay damages totaling $33.5 million to the families of the victims.

E1. Geometric and Spatial Reasoning:
describe and represent shape, location, and movement by applying geometric properties and spatial relationships in order to navigate the world around them
Geometric Reasoning
identify geometric properties of tessellating shapes and identify the transformations that occur in the tessellations
tessellations:
A tessellation uses tiles to cover an area without gaps or overlaps. The angles where tiles meet must add to 360°.
The area of the base determines how many cubes can be placed on the base, which forms a single unit – a layer of cubes. The height of the prism determines how many layers of cubes it takes to fill the volume. Therefore, the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is area of the base × height.
Tessellating tiles are composed of one or more shapes and fit together in a repeating pattern. They are often used to create artistic designs, including wallpaper, quilts, rugs, and mosaics.
Complex tessellating tiles can be designed by decomposing shapes and rearranging the parts using combinations of translations, reflections, and rotations (see also E1.4).
If a shape can be transformed through a series of rotations, reflections and translations (i.e., by being turned, flipped, or slid), and still look the same, the shape is symmetric.
There are different types of symmetries. For example, there is reflective symmetry, rotational symmetry, and translational symmetry.
Provide students with a variety of regular polygons (equilateral triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon). Ask them which shapes on their own would be good to tile a space, such as the wall or the floor. Have them list which shapes tile on their own and which ones do not. Support students in recognizing that, of the regular polygons, the equilateral triangle, the square, and the regular hexagon work because when these shapes are brought together, their vertices can fill 360° where they meet:
The other regular polygons do not work because when they are brought together, their interior angles do not add up to 360°, so a gap results. Ask students if there is a way to combine shapes that cannot tile on their own with another shape, such as illustrated below, where three pentagons must be combined with a rhombus to make 360°. Have them find different combinations and share their favourite designs with others in the class. Ensure that at the end of the activity, students recognize that a regular polygon will tile on its own if the measure of one of its interior angles divides into 360 evenly.
A regular penatagon cannont tile on its own.
A regular pentagon will tile when combined with rhombuses with the same side lengths as the pentagon and an acute angle of 36°:
Have students select a shape that tessellates. Have them cut out a piece from one side of the shape and translate that piece to the opposite side of the shape and tape it in place. Then, have them place their shape on a rectangular piece of paper and translate it, each time outlining it on the paper. Have them share their designs with others in the class.
Girih tiles, invented by North African artists in the 13th century, are used throughout Islamic art and architecture and feature complex tessellating shapes and symmetrical designs. M. C. Escher (1898–1972) was inspired by the Girih tiles and created his own tessellating art designs. He described ten “systems of symmetry” that use different transformations or combinations of transformations to create a unique tessellating tile. Tessellations also occur in nature, such as in honeycombs. Have students research and analyse Girih tiles, the art of Escher, and tessellations in nature to reveal the underlying polygon or pattern core. Guide them to use the geometric language of location, movement, and transformation to describe the work. As a culminating activity, have them use these examples to inspire their own construction of other tessellating tiles, and ask them to write a description of the transformations they used. Ensure that students recognize or understand that any triangle, any square, any rectangle, and any parallelogram will tesselate.
make objects and models using appropriate scales, given their top, front, and side views or their perspective views
constructing a model (as illustrated in the last example below) from a top view (plan), and front and side views (elevations):
constructing a model from an isometric or cabinet projection:
the resulting three-dimensional model looks like this:
Two-dimensional drawings, if they are accurately constructed and include enough information, can be used to reproduce actual-sized objects or scaled models in three dimensions (see also E1.3).
Two-dimensional drawings can show how things are made, how they can be navigated, or how they can be reproduced, and can be used to represent anything from very small objects to very large spaces.
Two-dimensional drawings are read and interpreted when navigating a map, following assembly instructions, or building an object from a plan.
Top (plan) views and front and side (elevation) views are “flat drawings” without perspective. They are used in technical drawings to ensure a faithful reproduction in three dimensions.
A perspective drawing shows three views (top, front, side) in one illustration. It is preferred for illustrations; however, angles are distorted and backside elements may be hidden. Isometric grids (also called triangular grids) are used to draw different perspectives, including isometric and cabinet projections.
Cabinet projections are so named because of their early use in the furniture industry. Isometric means “equal measure”, and isometric projections use the same scale on both axes.
A scale is a ratio that compares actual dimensions to the dimensions in the drawing. A scale ensures that the intended lengths and proportions can be reproduced. Depending on the type of drawing, angles may or may not be represented accurately.
Top, front, and side views of an object or space (plan and elevation drawings) use the actual angle sizes in the drawing and show all lengths in a common scale. For example, a 60° angle in the drawing is 60° in real life, and a scale of 1:100 means that 1 cm on the drawing equals 100 cm in real life (or 1 mm on the drawing equals 100 mm in real life, and so on).
Isometric projections, drawn on a triangular grid, show all lengths in the same scale, including the lines that show depth. However, angles are distorted to create the appearance of perspective. Therefore, for example, a 90° angle in real life appears as a 60° in an isometric drawing.
Cabinet projections also distort angles but use two scales to create perspective. The “depth” scale is half that of the “base and height” scale. So, for a scale of 1:100 a cabinet projection of a 1 cm cube would have a base and height of 1 cm, but a depth of 0.5 cm.
Have students read a plan and elevation drawing (e.g., a blueprint for the school or another building, a landscape design, or instructions) and build a simplified three-dimensional scale model that preserves the dimensions and proportions. Support them in identifying the scale on the plan and choosing an appropriate scale for their model. Provide them with cardstock or some other material to build their model, and have them draw on their experience with nets and prisms to approximate objects in the plan at the chosen scale. Assure them that the goal is not to make “the perfect model” but to read and interpret scales and to understand and experience how two-dimensional drawings can be used to build a model or the actual object.
Have students draw the top, front, and side views (plan and elevation drawings) as well as perspective views (isometric and cabinet projections) of a structure made of interlocking cubes. Have them exchange drawings with a partner, then build one another’s structures from the drawings. Have them compare the original structure with the newly made structure and note any differences.
As an extension activity, have students discuss what the structure might have looked like if they had only shared their perspective drawings (i.e., any hidden backside elements would be missing), or a side view, or a top view.
use scale drawings to calculate actual lengths and areas, and reproduce scale drawings at different ratios
a scale drawing at different ratios:
Scale drawings enable something very large or very small (microscopic) to be represented on a page or a screen. They are useful for visualizing, comparing, and calculating dimensions and are used, for example, when reading a map, following instructions, or designing a plan.
Scale drawings are similar to the actual object or space. This means that the angles in the drawing and the corresponding angles in the actual object are congruent, and their corresponding lengths are proportional. A scale on the drawing explicitly describes this proportion and can be written in words, as a fraction, as a ratio, or as a graphical representation (e.g., a bar scale).
Distances, areas, volumes, and angles can all be measured indirectly by referring to the measurements in the drawing. Top, front, and side views (plan and elevation drawings) are most reliable for calculating actual dimensions (see E1.2).
A scale drawing can be reproduced at different scales by finding the unit ratio if it is not provided.
Small scales show a larger area with a small amount of detail. For example, 1:2 000 000 means 1 cm in the drawing represents 2 000 000 cm, or 20 km.
Larger scales show a larger area with greater detail. For example, 1:2 means that 1 cm in the drawing represents 2 cm.
Grids are helpful for making scaled drawings. Scaling the grid is one way to produce a scaled drawing (e.g., overlaying a 2 cm grid on the original and using a 1 cm grid to produce the scaled version). Another way is to use the same grid and apply a scale to the drawing (e.g., 10 cm on the original grid becomes 1 cm on the scaled version). The first strategy may be used for smaller-scale drawings; however, the second strategy is necessary for large-scale representations.
Have students use the scale on a map to estimate the distance from one location to another and the area of a region. Guide a conversation about the value of scales and how they are calculated and used. Have students compare the scale on a map to the scale on a blueprint or other plan drawing. Have them use the scale drawing (plan and elevation views) to calculate measurements of the actual object or space. If the actual object or space is available, compare the predicted measurements with the actual physical measurements.
Provide students with, for example, a cereal box, and compare the picture on the front to the actual size of the object illustrated. Have them measure the dimensions of the object in the picture (the height and width) and the actual object and compare them multiplicatively as a ratio. Support students in noticing proportional relationships (see B2.8) between the dimensions of the two objects (e.g., length to length) and within each of the two objects (i.e., length to width).
Once the scale has been established, have students draw a scaled-down version of the image to fit a smaller box with given dimensions. Discuss strategies for determining the scale factor of the two boxes, and have them apply that factor to the image. To make connections to multiplying by a fraction (see B2.6), have them scale by a fraction, such as two thirds or three fourths. A ratio table is a helpful organizer to show how a dimension can be scaled up or down.
Provide students with the dimensions of a drawing, such as the one below, and ask them what the dimensions of the drawing would be if it were scaled up by a factor of 2. Then, ask them to sketch the dimensions for the same drawing scaled down by a factor of 0.5.
Provide or have students choose a drawing (e.g., a simple picture from a colouring book) with a 1 cm × 1 cm grid superimposed. Ask them to recreate the drawing on grid paper with different-sized squares, including both smaller and larger squares. Have them share their drawings with others in the class.
Location and Movement
describe and perform translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations on a Cartesian plane, and predict the results of these transformations
translation on a Cartesian (or coordinate) plane:
△ABC is translated (4, −3):
reflection on a coordinate plane:
△ABC is reflected in the x-axis:
△ABC is reflected in the y-axis:
rotations on a coordinate plane:
△ABC is rotated 90° counterclockwise:
dilation:
scale factor of 2, with (0, 0) as the point of dilation:
When shapes are transformed on a Cartesian plane, the coordinates of the original vertices are transformed to create corresponding coordinates known as image points. Each of the transformations can be defined using a mapping rule in which each point is transformed using that rule.
Mapping rule for translations:
(x, y) (x + a, y + b). If a is positive, then the x-value of the image point is ‘a’ units to the right of the original point. If a is negative, then the x-value of the image point is ‘a’ units to the left of the original point. If b is positive, then the y-value of the image point is ‘b’ units up from the original point. If b is negative, then the y-value of the image point is ‘b’ units down from the original point. For example, (x, y) (x − 5, y − 2); each image point is 5 units left of and 2 units down from the original point.
Mapping rules for reflections:
a shape reflected in the x-axis has mapping rule (x, y) (x, −y). For example, the vertex of the shape originally at (2, 3) is now at (2, −3).
a shape reflected in the y-axis has a mapping rule (x, y) (−x, y). For example, the vertex of the shape originally at (2, 3) is now at (−2, 3).
Mapping rules for rotations about the origin:
a shape rotated 90° counterclockwise has mapping rule (x, y) (−y, x);
a shape rotated 180° counterclockwise has mapping rule (x, y) (−x, −y);
a shape rotated 270° counterclockwise has mapping rule (x, y) (y, −x).
Mapping rules for dilations:
(x, y) (ax, ay). For example, for (x, y) (2x, 2y), the coordinates of the image points are double those of the original points. For example, the image point for (−3, 4) is (−6, 8).
Transformations on the Cartesian Plane involve points being relocated to another position.
Translations “slide” a point, segment, or shape by a given distance and direction (vector).
Reflections “flip” a point, segment, or shape across a reflection line to create its opposite.
Rotations “turn” a point, segment, or shape around a point of rotation by a given angle.
Dilations (or dilatations) enlarge or shrink a distance by a given scale factor. Scale factors with an absolute value greater than 1 enlarge the distance, and those with an absolute value of less than 1 reduce the distance. Negative scale factors dilate the shape and rotate it 180°.
Translations, reflections, and rotations all produce congruent images:
Lines map to lines of the same length.
Angles map to angles of the same measure.
Parallel lines map to parallel lines.
Dilations (or dilatations) produce scaled images that are similar:
Lines map to line lengths at a constant scale factor.
Have students draw a shape anywhere on the coordinate plane. Ask them to identify the coordinates for each vertex. Then, ask them to translate this shape using two or more horizontal moves and two or more vertical moves, drawing the translated image each time. Have them compare the coordinates of the vertices of the final shape with those of the original shape. Ask them to determine the single move horizontally and the single move vertically that could be used to translate the original shape to its final location on the coordinate plane.
Have students draw a shape anywhere on the coordinate plane. Ask them to reflect the original shape in the x-axis and compare the coordinates of the vertices of the reflected shape with those of the original shape. Then, ask them to reflect the original shape in the y-axis and compare the coordinates of the vertices. Have them perform a combination of reflections in the x-axis and the y-axis and determine whether the order of reflecting affects the final outcome of the shape’s position on the coordinate plane.
Have students draw any shape in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane so that one of the vertices is the origin (0, 0). Have them rotate the shape counterclockwise 90° and compare the coordinates of the vertices of the rotated shape with those of the original shape. Have them rotate the shape another 90° counterclockwise and again compare the coordinates of the vertices. Have them rotate the shape another 90° counterclockwise and compare the coordinates of the vertices. Once they have completed all of the rotations, have them discuss with a partner what they notice about the changes to their coordinates after each rotation.
Have students draw a triangle in the first quadrant with one vertex at the origin (0, 0). Have them dilate the triangle by:
multiplying each of the coordinates of the vertices by a value greater than one
multiplying each of the coordinates of the vertices by a value between zero and one
After each dilation, have students compare the coordinates of the vertices of the original triangle with those of the dilated triangle.
Have students use a dynamic or interactive geometry environment to draw a simple shape (shape A) on a coordinate plane and label its coordinates. This task could also be done using block-based or text-based coding applications that include coordinate grids.
Have students translate shape A into each of the other quadrants of the coordinate plane. Discuss the strategies they used to determine the appropriate vector (distance and direction), and support them in using positive and negative integers to describe the movement. Have them analyse the relationship between the coordinates of the original and the image, and the movement specified by the vector. Support them in generalizing the pattern symbolically. For example, for the translation (+5, −2): (x, y) → (x + 5, y − 2).
Have students reflect shape A into other quadrants of the coordinate plane using the x-axis and y-axis as lines of reflection. After each reflection, support them in noting how the coordinates of the original changed after each reflection. Discuss ways to generalize this pattern symbolically. For example, for an x-axis reflection: (x, y) → (x, −y). For a y-axis reflection: (x, y) → (−x, y).
Have students rotate shape A into other quadrants of the coordinate plane using the origin (0, 0) as the point of rotation. Have them rotate shape A by 90°, and after each rotation, discuss the patterns that emerge. Support students in generalizing the pattern symbolically. For example, for a counterclockwise rotation of 90° around the origin: (x, y) → (−y, x).
Have students dilate shape A by different scale factors, including by negative scale factors and factors with an absolute value less than one. Support students in noticing the impact of using different scale factors and in describing how the coordinates change. Discuss ways to generalize this pattern symbolically. For example, for a scale factor of 2.5: (x, y) → (2.5x, 2.5y). For a scale factor of −3: (x, y) → (−3x, −3y).
Note that the aim of this task (and the expectation) is not memorization of the mapping rules, but rather that students recognize that coordinates behave in particular ways when they are transformed in the coordinate system; these patterns can help with predicting the result of a transformation. Support students in recognizing these patterns and developing familiarity with the actions of different transformations so that they can begin to visualize and predict the results of each change.


Is Studying in UK the Right Destination for an Indian student?
Is Studying In UK The Right Destination For An Indian Student? A Definitive Guide
The answer to that question is a resounding yes. Despite the uncertainties of Brexit looming large over the horizon, a plan to go to the UK for higher studies has undeniable merits. We have made a list of the 5 most compelling reasons for you to study in the UK.
The Time Is Right
According to higher education experts in the UK and the EU, Brexit and the resultant drop in the value of the pound might lead to a fall in the course fees. Seize the day while the sun shines. If it’s quality education you are looking for, look no farther than the UK. Every institution is obliged to run regular assessments of their pedagogy; they are graded by official organizations so that academic standards are never compromised. What’s more, the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education carries out independent audits, so that you can safely rely on the reviews.
Learn Among the Best
Of the ten universities revered across the world, three of the most elite hail from the United Kingdom. To be a part of an institution like University of Oxford or Imperial College, London, is to write your name in the illustrious pages of academic history. Not many places will offer you with such dizzying panoramas of university courses. Take your pick from among 150,000 courses at prestigious institutions across England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
Impressive Infrastructure
According to the findings of the Research Excellence Framework (REF), 30% of the research done in the UK can be classified as ‘world-leading’, while 46% of it is internationally excellent. The UK accounts for as much as 6.4% of all journal articles written worldwide. The education system allows for an organic bonding between the student and the teacher; the exchange of ideas takes place on an individual level so that every student voice is heard and accommodated. Exposure to eclectic academic interests helps you get a holistic look into the prospect open to you. International students with language barriers need not worry, as several of the institutions offer language support. But that’s not the only assistance you should expect. With faculties of counsellors and course advisors to guide you at every step of the way, you can never go wrong, or go astray.
Get Scholarships
If you’re an aspiring research fellow or a postgraduate student, a scholarship will see you through your academic years. The Great India Scholarships and Scotland’s Saltire Scholarship (SSS) are exclusively offered to Indian students. Besides, scholarships aren’t the only way to make ends meet. The UK is a hotbed of lucrative internships and easy part-time jobs. It’s not only a great way to make some extra money for yourself, but it’s also a golden ticket for you to learn and cultivate new skills. Add them to your CV and you have already upgraded your chances of getting a job by the end of the term.
Get Healthcare
As a full-time student in the UK, you will be entitled to free medical treatment by the National Health Service (NHS). The same applies for your partner, or a dependent who has taken residence with you.
It was only last year when the UK witnessed a milieu of 4,36,585 international students, coming in from more than 180 countries worldwide. Would you believe that Indian students formed the second largest group among the gathered scholars? Besides, think of all the bright, young minds coming together from all the corners of the continents.
Studying in UK, or anywhere beyond your familiar borders for that matter, helps you to grow as a person. You learn how to put your life in perspective and see yourself as a citizen of the world. You will be standing at the confluence of multi-cultural practices and diverse social mores. What could be more fun?

CELEBRATING MORE THAN 111 YEARS OF HOSPITALITY
A magnificent building with silvery domes and red shutters, facing Marmara Sea one side and the city of Istanbul on the other...
A hotel in historical symbiosis with nature, retaining the nostalgic ecstasy of the past on Büyükada’s unique, peaceful and relaxing island atmosphere far removed from the stress creating nature of the city.
On Büyükada, as well as the other Princes’ Islands, horse drawn carriages and bicycles are still the only means of public transportation.
Splendid Palace Hotel was inaugurated in 1908. Though inspired to some extent by “Art Nouveau”, the hotel clearly displays an east /west synthesis in architectural design with its bright inner courtyard encircled with rooms, and the pillars on floors around the courtyard.
Splendid Palace has been operated by the founding family since the beginning according to the heritage by the 6th generation family members. İt is the only hotel in Turkey of its kind. It is recognized as a Class 1 national monument by the Ministry of Culture.
There are 60 rooms and 9 suites to accommodate 130 guests. The swimming pool in a verdant surrounding of trees is the outcome of a building design in harmony with nature.
Splendid Palace Hotel is one of Turkey’s handful hotels that have been assigned special status by the Tourism Ministry, due to its unforgettable historical and cultural heritage.
The New York Times describes the Splendid Palace as "an Art Nouveau-flavoured wedding cake of a hotel, located only two blocks from the clock tower. Built in 1908, the hotel is double-domed, white as icing and grandly down-at-heel, with four tiers of balconied rooms and crimson shutters."
In 2015, Splendid Palace became the home of the fantastic “O Sentimental Machine” installation by William Kentridge at the 14th Istanbul Biennial, SALTWATER.

The Bachelor spoilers: Who rejected Clayton Echard right away?
The Bachelor December 18, 2021
As we prepare for the premiere of The Bachelor early next year, ABC is already hyping up Clayton Echard’s season in a big way.
How are they describing it? Basically, the promo below claims that this will be a “season of firsts,” and one of the things that you’ll be seeing is someone reject him almost right away. The promo below mentions that the show’s new lead offered up a rose to someone that was turned down — pretty surprising, no?
There are a couple of things to remember as we look at this, though. For starters, ABC isn’t giving a lot of context as to how said rose was rejected. Also, it’s important to remember here that none of the women were cast on this season knowing that Clayton was going to be the lead. They hadn’t even seen an episode of Michelle Young’s season! This is such an unusual version of The Bachelor when you consider all of that, and it makes sense that there would be a few women who just aren’t that into him. That’s not saying anything negative about Clayton; instead, that’s just the reality of what relationships are often like. There are ultimately going to be people who are really interested in you and people who aren’t.
While there may be some surprises throughout this season, don’t be surprised if there is also a back-to-basics approached threaded through at least some of this. Remember that we’re going back to the mansion this season for the first time since Peter Weber was the lead, and that’s likely due to changes in virus precautions and the widespread availability of vaccines.

Odessa rugby players took third place in the Cup of Ukraine | Odessa news
The national rugby-7 Cup was hosted by Khmelnitsky.
Men’s Odessa rugby club «CREDO-1963» took third place in the Ukrainian Cup in Olympic rugby — rugby-7.
Our compatriots won both matches in their group — against the Khmelnytsky «Polytechnic» (31: 5) and the Lvov «Sokol» (17:14), but in the semifinals they lost to the local «Evolution 7’s» (14:29).
In the game for the bronze medal, Dmitry Fedishin’s charges met with Sokol again, but this time they beat him more than confidently — 41: 7.
In the final, Evolution 7’s and the permanent winner of all national tournaments — Kharkiv Olympus met. The owners of the field gave the guests a fight, but the Kharkiv team still took the trophy home (29:14).
Thus, to the «bronze» of the Superleague in Rugby-7, won a week earlier in Kiev, «CREDO» added the «bronze» of the Cup of Ukraine in Rugby-7.
At the end of this week, the «red-whites» will start in the Rugby-15 Super League.

Sophomore Jackson Mitchell steps up for baseball team
Sophomore Jackson Mitchell attempts to pick off a runner at first base during a game.
Last season, the varsity baseball team had four underclassmen, with three being sophomores and one freshman. This year they only have one underclassman, and it’s sophomore Jackson Mitchell who only played a little bit of varsity last season but mainly played JV.
“It’s pretty fun,” Mitchell said. “I’m friends with most of the team. I wasn’t too surprised [making varsity] since I played a little bit last year, but it’s pretty exciting being a sophomore on varsity.”
Mitchell is a pitcher, and despite being the youngest player on the team, he has made himself one of the team’s best pitchers and is a great role model on the team. His teammates and coaches are very proud of him.
“He’s brings a lot to the table,” head coach Bob Dunahue said. “He’s got a nice frame, he’s got easy throwing motion, very athletic and coachable, he’s always looking to get better, and he lets his actions on the field do the talking.”
According to junior and fellow teammate Nolan Hutson, Mitchell fits in great with the whole team, and is even better this season than last season.
“He’s just grown as a player and has gotten bigger, as time has gone on he’s improved,” Hutson said. “He’s just a really good pitcher, he knows how to locate, and he has good speed at his age.”
Overall, Mitchell has enjoyed varsity very much. He has been playing baseball since he was little and hopes to continue his career in college, but right now he mainly wants to focus on high school.
“I’m just trying to get my way to the top of the pitching staff and hopefully stay on varsity and make some new friends,” Mitchell said.

‘They’re still the team to beat’
Kansas City’s 2021 season was tumultuous by the Chiefs’ standards. Kansas City lost four of its first seven games before rattling off nine wins in its final 10 games. The Chiefs’ only loss came at the hands of none other than the Bengals, but when the teams met again with a trip to Super Bowl LVI on the line, the Chiefs were again seen as the favorite.
Cincinnati embraced the underdog role, vanquishing Kansas City and securing a date with the eventual champion Los Angeles Rams.
The 2022 season included a similar story, except the Bengals and Chiefs swapped roles. Kansas City rolled to a 14-3 finish and the conference’s top seed, while Cincinnati battled its own early season struggles before embarking on a win streak that began after Halloween, including a third straight triumph over the Chiefs, and still hasn’t ended.
One might say the Bengals own the Chiefs. But as the top seed entering Championship Sunday, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes isn’t leaning into the underdog narrative.
“Every time I walk on that field, I don’t think I’m an underdog,” Mahomes said on Wednesday. “Especially when I walk on Arrowhead’s field. I just go in with the same mindset of we’re gonna have to play our best football to win. We know we’re playing a great football team that’s beat us the last three times. So , we have to learn from our mistakes in the past and be better in order to win against a great football team.”
Cincinnati isn’t as eager to embrace the idea of having the upper hand on the powerhouse Chiefs, but also isn’t hiding from the reality of the last two campaigns, especially considering the difficulty of the road the Bengals — a team that pulled off a Divisional Round road upset just to reach this point — have traveled.
“There’s a lot of guys in that room, and I would say there’s a lot of guys throughout the league that have had it the hard way,” Burrow, a quarterback who had to transfer from Ohio State to LSU just to get an opportunity to continue his career at the next level, said. “I know, personally, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. It’s made me who I am as a person and as a player. And there’s a lot of guys in that locker room like that. That are still trying to prove themselves, no matter how many wins or how well they play or how many contracts they sign, they’re still gonna get their work in because that’s what got them to this point.”
Familiarity is a strength both teams share entering this matchup. As they always are at this time of the year, the stakes are high, and Burrow knows the Chiefs won’t be taking his Bengals lightly, especially when considering their recent history.
“We played them twice the last two seasons, really basically a month apart each time,” Burrow said. “We know them. They know us. It’s gonna be fun.”

One more time with [structures of] feeling: anxiety, labour, and social critique in/of the neoliberal academia
Blog, Conference presentations, higher education, social theory
Florence, April 2013
Last month, I attended the symposium on Anxiety and Work in the Accelerated Academy, the second in the Accelerated Academy series that explores the changing scapes of time, work, and productivity in the academia. Given that my research is fundamentally concerned with the changing relationships between universities and publics, and the concomitant reframing of the subjectivity, agency, and reflexivity of academics, I naturally found the question of the intersection of academic labour and time relevant. One particular bit resonated for a long time: in her presentation, Maggie O’Neill from the University of York suggested anxiety has become the primary structure of feeling in the neoliberal academia. Having found myself, in the period leading up to the workshop, increasingly reflecting on the structures of feeling, I was intrigued by the salience of the concept. Is there a place for theoretical concepts such as this in research on the transformations of knowledge production in contemporary capitalism, and where is it?
“Structure of feeling” may well be one of those ideas whose half-life way superseded their initial purview. Raymond Williams introduced it in a brief chapter included in Marxism and Literature, contributing to carving out what would become known as the distinctly British take on the relationship between “base” and “superstructure”: cultural studies. In it, he says:
Specific qualitative changes are not assumed to be epiphenomena of changed institutions, formations, and beliefs, or merely secondary evidence of changed social and economic relations between and within classes. At the same time they are from the beginning taken as social experience, rather than as ‘personal’ experience or as the merely superficial or incidental ‘small change’ of society. They are social in two ways that distinguish them from reduced senses of the social as the institutional and the formal: first, in that they are changes of presence (while they are being lived this is obvious; when they have been lived it is still their substantial characteristic); second, in that although they are emergent or pre-emergent, they do not have to await definition, classification, or rationalization before they exert palpable pressures and set effective limits on experience and on action. Such changes can be defined as changes in structures of feeling. (Williams, 1977:130).
Williams thus introduces structures of feeling as a form of social diagnostic; he posits it against the more durable but also more formal concepts of ‘world-view’ or ‘ideology’. Indeed, the whole chapter is devoted to the critique of the reificatory tendencies of Marxist social analysis: the idea of things (or ideas) being always ‘finished’, always ‘in the past’, in order for them to be subjected to analytical scrutiny. The concept of “structure of feeling” is thus invoked in order to keep tabs on social change and capture the perhaps less palpable elements of transformation as they are happening.
Emotions and the scholastic disposition
Over the past years, discourse of feelings has certainly become more prominent in the academia. Just last week, Cambridge’s Festival of Ideas featured a discussion on the topic, framing it within issues of free speech and trigger warnings on campus. While the debate itself has a longer history in the US, it had begun to attract more attention in the UK – most recently in relation to challenging colonial legacies at both Oxford and Cambridge.
Despite multiple nuances of political context and the complex interrelation between imperialism and higher education, the debate in the media predominantly plays out in dichotomies of ‘thinking’ and ‘feeling’. Opponents tend to pit trigger warnings or the “culture of offence” against the concept of academic freedom, arguing that today’s students are too sensitive and “coddled” which, in their view, runs against the very purpose of university education. From this perspective, education is about ‘cultivating’ feelings: exercising control, submerging them under the strict institutional structures of the intellect.
Feminist scholars, in particular, have extensively criticised this view for its reductionist properties and, not least, its propensity to translate into institutional and disciplinary policies that seek to exclude everything framed as ‘emotional’, bodily, or material (and, by association, ‘feminine’) from academic knowledge production. But the cleavage runs deeper. Research in social sciences is often framed in the dynamic of ‘closeness’ and ‘distancing’, ‘immersion’ and ‘purification’: one first collects data by aiming to be as close as possible to the social context of the object of research, but then withdraws from it in order to carry out analysis. While approaches such as grounded theory or participatory methods (cl)aim to transcend this boundary, its echoes persist in the structure of presentation of academic knowledge (for instance, the division between data and results), as well as the temporal organisation of graduate education (for instance, the idea that the road to PhD includes a period of training in methods and theories, followed by data collection/fieldwork, followed by analysis and the ‘writing up’ of results).
The idea of ‘distanced reflection’ is deeply embedded in the history of academic knowledge production. In Pascalian Meditations, Bourdieu relates it to the concept of skholē – the scholarly disposition – predicated on the distinction between intellectual and manual labour. In other words, in order for reflection to exist, it needed to be separated from the vagaries of everyday existence. One of its radical manifestations is the idea of the university as monastic community. Oxford and Cambridge, for instance, were explicitly constructed on this model, giving rise to animosities between ‘town’ and ‘gown’: concerns of the ‘lay’ folk were thought to be diametrically opposed to those of the educated. While arguably less prominent in (most) contemporary institutions of knowledge production, the dichotomy is still unproblematically transposed in concepts such as “university’s contribution to society”, which assumes universities are distinct from the society, or at least their interests radically different from those of “the society” – raising obvious questions about who, in fact, is this society.
Emotions, reason, and critique
Paradoxically, perhaps, one of the strongest reverberations of the idea is to be found in the domain of social critique. On the one hand, this sounds counter-intuitive – after all, critical social science should be about abandoning the ‘veneer’ of neutrality and engaging with the world in all of its manifestations. However, establishing the link between social science and critique rests on something that Boltanski, in his critique of Bourdieu’s sociology of domination, calls the metacritical position:
For this reason we shall say that critical theories of domination are metacritical in order. The project of taking society as an object and describing the components of social life or, if you like, its framework, appeals to a thought experiment that consists in positioning oneself outside this framework in order to consider it as a whole. In fact, a framework cannot be grasped from within. From an internal perspective, the framework coincides with reality in its imperious necessity. (Boltanski, 2011:6-7)
Academic critique, in Boltanski’s view, requires assuming a position of exteriority. A ‘simple’ form of exteriority rests on description: it requires ‘translation’ of lived experience (or practices) into categories of text. However, passing the kind of moral judgements critical theory rests on calls for, he argues, a different form of distancing: complex exteriority.
In the case of sociology, which at this level of generality can be regarded as a history of the present, with the result that the observer is part of what she intends to describe, adopting a position of exteriority is far from self-evident… This imaginary exit from the viscosity of the real initially assumes stripping reality of its character of implicit necessity and proceeding as if it were arbitrary (as if it could be other than it is or even not be);
This “exit from the viscosity of the real” (a lovely phrase!) proceeds in two steps. The first takes the form of “control of desire”, that is, procedural distancing from the object of research. The second is the act of judgement by which a social order is ‘ejected’, seen in its totality, and as such evaluated from the outside:
In sociology the possibility of this externalization rests on the existence of a laboratory – that is to say, the employment of protocols and instructions respect for which must constrain the sociologist to control her desires (conscious or unconscious). In the case of theories of domination, the exteriority on which critique is based can be called complex, in the sense that it is established at two different levels. It must first of all be based on an exteriority of the first kind to equip itself with the requisite data to create the picture of the social order that will be submitted to critique. A meta critical theory is in fact necessarily reliant on a descriptive sociology or anthropology. But to be critical, such a theory also needs to furnish itself, in ways that can be explicit to very different degrees, with the means of passing a judgement on the value of the social order being described. (ibid.)
Critique: inside, outside, in-between?
To what degree could we say that this categorisation can be applied to the current critique of conditions of knowledge production in the academia? After all, most of those who criticize the neoliberal transformation of higher education and research are academics. In this sense, it would make sense to question the degree to which they can lay claims to a position of exteriority. However, more problematically (or interestingly), it is also questionable to which degree a position of exteriority is achievable at all.
Boltanski draws attention to this problem by emphasising the distinction between the cognition – awareness – of ‘ordinary’ actors, and that of sociologists (or other social scientists), the latter, presumably, able to perceive structures of domination that the subjects of their research do not:
Metacritical theories of domination tackle these asymmetries from a particular angle – that of the miscognition by the actors themselves of the exploitation to which they are subject and, above all, of the social conditions that make this exploitation possible and also, as a result, of the means by which they could stop it. That is why they present themselves indivisibly as theories of power, theories of exploitation and theories of knowledge. By this token, they encounter in an especially vexed fashion the issue of the relationship between the knowledge of social reality which is that of ordinary actors, reflexively engaged in practice, and the knowledge of social reality conceived from a reflexivity reliant on forms and instruments of totalization – an issue which is itself at the heart of the tensions out of which the possibility of a social science must be created (Boltanski, 2011:7)
Hotel Academia: you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave?
How does one go about thinking about the transformation of the conditions of knowledge production when one is at the same time reflexively engaged in practice and relying on the reflexivity provided by sociological instruments? Is it at all possible? The feelings of anxiety, to this end, could be provoked exactly by this lack of opportunity to step aside – to disembed oneself from the academic life and reflect on it at the leisurely pace of skholē. On the one hand, this certainly has to do with the changing structure and tempo of academic life – acceleration and demands for increased output: in this sense, anxiety is a reaction to the changes perceived and felt, the feeling that the ground is no longer stable, like a sense of vertigo. On the other hand, however, this feeling of decentredness could be exactly what contemporary critique calls for.
The challenge, of course, is how to turn this “structure of feeling” into something that has analytical as well as affective power – and can transform the practice itself. Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, I think, is a wonderful example of this. As a melody, it is fundamentally disquieting: its impact primarily drawn from the fact that it disrupted what were, at the time, expectations of the (musical) genre, and in the process, rewrote them.
In other words, anxiety could be both creative and destructive. This, however, is not some broad call to “embrace anxiety”. There is a clear and pertinent need to understand the way in which the transformations of working conditions – everywhere, and also in the context of knowledge production – are influencing the sense of self and what is commonly referred to as mental health or well-being.
However, in this process, there is no need to externalise anxiety (nor other feelings): that is, frame it as if caused by forces outside of, or completely independent from, human influence, including within the academia itself (for instance, government policies, or political changes on supranational level). Conversely, there is no need to completely internalise it, in the sense of ascribing it to the embodied experience of individuals only. If feelings occupy the unstable ‘middle ground’ between institutions and individuals, this is the position from which they will have to be thought. If anxiety is an interpretation of the changes of the structures of knowledge production, its critique cannot but stem from the same position. This position is not ‘outside’, but rather ‘in-between’; insecure and thought-provoking, but no less potent for that.
Which, come to think of it, may be what Williams was trying to say all along.
