The 2017 AANS Presidential Address. A world of innovation
No full textThe 2016 scientific meeting of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) focused on the theme “A World of Innovation.” In his presidential address, 2016 AANS President Frederick Boop compared the historical development of the specialty of neurological surgery with that of the development of global communications. In the early years, general surgeons training in the United States would spend post-residency time abroad learning from surgical masters in Europe and other places. Since Harvey Cushing’s day, neurosurgeons from around the world continue to travel abroad, with many now coming to America for training at centers of excellence.Current clinical practice is defined by multi-national, multi-center clinical trials, and the AANS subsidiary NeuroPoint Alliance has positioned itself to serve as an international center for the oversight of such trials. The Neurosurgery Research & Education Foundation and the Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group have made it possible for a neurosurgeon anywhere with Internet access to learn relevant surgical anatomy, learn new neurosurgical procedures, and watch masters in the field perform operations via high-definition surgical videos at no cost via learning platforms such as the Rhoton Collection, the Neurosurgical Atlas, and Neurosurgical Focus video supplements. At the same time, patients are now traveling abroad to seek medical specialty care. Although the globalization of health care poses certain threats, it also presents neurosurgeons with a world of opportunities.</jats:p

[Manuscript] of [ _Snarleyyow, or, The Dog Fiend_ ] / [Frederick Marryat].
No full textThe pages of this manuscript fragment are numbered 39 and 40 [a note on the recto states that these correspond to 296 in the printed text]; a pencil note at the top of the recto attributes the work to Captain Frederick Marryat [the novel alluded to may have been Marryat\u27s _Snarleyyow, or, The Dog Fiend_ (1837)].A popular novelist and author of children\u27s adventure fiction like _Masterman Ready_ (1841), a castaway tale, Marryat entered the navy as a teenager and by 1815 had risen to the rank of commander.

Douglass, Frederick
No full textFrederick Douglass was a nineteenth-century abolitionist, author, and politician. Through his autobiographies, Douglass fashions himself as a representative, mid-nineteenth-century black male, though his definition of black manhood often seems to lack a specific African-American dimension. Woven into his critique of slavery and racism is an ideal of manhood shared by white middle-class men and grounded in notions of individualism, self-reliance, and entrepreneurial capitalism

Short Cuts in Figures
No full textIn Short Cuts in Figures, A. Frederick Collins provides the essential "key which will unlock the door to rapid calculation", asserting that figuring is the "key-note of all business". This book is a practical guide for anyone who finds arithmetic tedious or difficult because they were "wrongly taught", offering simple methods and "scientific short cuts" to achieve both speed and certainty, saving time, effort, and money. Collins begins by rebuilding the fundamentals, explaining "WHAT ARITHMETIC IS" before diving into specific techniques for rapid addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The guide progresses to practical applications, covering shortcuts for fractions, decimals, percentages, and aliquot parts. It also demystifies complex operations like "EXTRACTING SQUARE AND CUBE ROOTS". Beyond calculations, the book serves as an indispensable reference, packed with "MANY USEFUL TABLES AND FORMULAS", including weights and measures, the metric system and rules for geometry. It concludes with a unique chapter on "MAGIC WITH FIGURES," exploring number puzzles and mechanical calculators like Napier's Rods.A. Frederick Collins'in Short Cuts in Figures adlı eseri, hızlı hesaplamada ustalaşmanın "anahtarını" sunarak, hesap yapmanın "tüm iş dünyasının kilit taşı" olduğunu savunur. Bu kitap, aritmetiği "yanlış öğretildiği" için sıkıcı veya zor bulan herkes için pratik bir rehber niteliğindedir; hem hız hem de kesinlik kazanmak, böylece zamandan, çabadan ve paradan tasarruf etmek için basit yöntemler ve "bilimsel kısa yollar" sunar. Collins, "ARİTMETİK NEDİR" bölümüyle temelleri yeniden inşa ederek başlar ve ardından hızlı toplama , çıkarma , çarpma ve bölme için özel teknikleri detaylandırır. Rehber, kesirler , ondalık sayılar , yüzde ve tam bölenler (aliquot parts) gibi pratik uygulamalara yönelik kısa yollarla devam eder. Ayrıca "KARE VE KÜP KÖK ALMA" gibi karmaşık işlemleri de basitleştirir. Kitap, hesaplamaların ötesinde, "BİRÇOK KULLANIŞLI TABLO VE FORMÜL" içeren vazgeçilmez bir referanstır; ağırlıklar ve ölçüler , metrik sistem ve geometri kuralları bunlardan bazılarıdır. Eser, sayı bulmacaları ve Napier'in Çubukları gibi yöntemleri keşfeden "SAYILARLA SİHİR" üzerine eğlenceli bir bölümle sona erer
