The Professor Stuart McDonald Anatomy Drawing Award
No full textProfessor Stuart McDonald was professor of Forensic and Clinical Anatomy at the University of Glasgow for over forty years and taught anatomy to numerous medical, dental and science students during his lifetime. To commemorate his invaluable memory, the Head and Neck anatomy drawing award was created. The intricacy and organic art of the human body is admirable to many, if not all students who study anatomy, and this award is a touching reminder of the indispensable relationship between art and science.
The award is open each year for all year two Medical Students, year three Dentistry Students and year three BSc Honours Anatomy Students with the winner being awarded a prize of £200 and a certificate of achievement. The judges’ criteria included originality, creativity and anatomical accuracy – which were used when deciding upon a winner.
The winner of this year\u27s award was current Year three Medical Student Elliot McColgan for his original and intricately labelled pencil drawing of the muscles of facial expression. I would also like to congratulate the two joint runners up Zainab Mahmod and Ameerah Gardee as well as highly commended Linda McVey, Ruby McGill and Zaren Nacario. Each student\u27s entry displayed an impressive level of creativity and talent.
I managed to speak to Elliot, who explained that he drew his admission during the lighter final week of the Head Neck and Neuro block, and this allowed him to dedicate more time to his art. As this was the last week of teaching before the Easter break, Elliot commented that the process of creating his drawing was a helpful way to consolidate his understanding of the position and unique function of each muscle associated with facial expression. Drawn in coloured pencil, Elliot said he chose this as his preferred medium as it was the most efficient way to add the layers of detail needed to accurately depict the muscles of facial expression. There is so much content to learn and memorise when studying human anatomy, so it can be helpful to explore a variety of learning techniques. This could include drawings, paintings, mind-maps, flashcards, mnemonics, learning in groups of friends, teaching others or even creating games. Each student will find different methods more effective than others, and it is appreciable that the University of Glasgow actively encourages all Anatomy students to incorporate drawing and art into weekly learning. The introduction of the Stuart McDonald Anatomy Drawing award is a genuine celebration of the interconnectedness of art and science.
For as long as I can remember I have loved art. I think this partly fuelled my interest in medicine as fundamentally, it integrates both scientific and artistic principles. There is not always a formula or ‘correct answer’. This is perhaps best seen in holistic healthcare, where evidence-based medicine is balanced with an emphasis on patient individuality, considering their physical, social and psychological needs. This appreciation for the mix between subjectivity and precision has shaped my interest in pursuing a career in plastic surgery and is ultimately why I chose to focus on the muscles of facial expression. It strengthens knowledge that will be essential later on and explores an aspect of human anatomy I find fascinating. Drawing has become an enjoyable and rewarding method of learning that I have incorporated into my revision. It allows me to look at things from a different, more detailed, perspective. This process led me to an ongoing discussion, whether the muscle of facial expression, ‘Depressor Supercilii’ is a distinct muscle, contributing to eyebrow depression, or actually part of ‘Corrugator Supercilii’ or ‘Orbicularis Oculi\u27. Engaging with this broadened my overall appreciation of the anatomy and highlighted that medicine is full of nuance and interpretation. To me, that is where its artistry stands out

Elliot Merrick (1905-1997)
No full text... Elliot Merrick, Labrador author and traveler, died on 22 April 1997, less than three weeks before his 92nd birthday. Toward the end of his life, he would joke that he was so old that he\u27d become "historical". In fact, he was one of the last surviving links with pioneer Labrador - a place that makes the present-day Labrador of jet overflights and nickel mines seem like another country. ... Elliot Merrick made no contribution to science; his trips did not result in new maps being drawn up, and he did not make any major or even minor archaeological finds. But his books about Labrador will live on to enthral future generations of readers with the magic of the North
Letter from Charles N. Elliot to John Muir, [ca.1912 ?].
No full textCharles N. ElliotArchitect325 Failing Building,Portland, Oregon,Dear Mr. Muir:I am at a loss how to adequately express my appreciation of your gift of Stickeen , which has just reached me.I would that I might in some more tangible way than words, show you how deeply your delicate kindness affects me. I have always loved your story of the little dog companion of your dangerous Alaskan adventure, and the book containing it — a gift from its writer will ever be one of my most prized possessions. As 1 have said, I wish it were possible to show my appreciation in some other way than a mere letter — but I cannot in any way give you the pleasure your act has given me, so much remain in your debt, not alone for this gift but for your good letter, your inscription in My First Summer in the Sierra and the perennial pleasure and help your writings bring to me. You see I am hopelessly in your debt.Regarding Stickeen —not alone to you is his little dog-soul immortal, but your touching tale has made him a member of that immortal animal company to which belongs Rab and His Friends , Black Beauty and others whose soul-workings have been revealed to us by sympathetic human eyes and pens.I had intended writing you for one more favor -- which I now hesitate to ask — in view of your generosity, but feel impelled ro risk troubling you, though I hope to be forgiven. I noted in a New York paper that you-had written an appreciation of Mr. E. H« Harriman, published by Doubleday, Page & Co. for distribution to public libraries only not obtainable by purchase at the bookstore or elsewhere. I had our Library obtain a copy for their shelves and have it before me as I write, but I would like a copy of my very own, not only because of its author, but also because of its subject. Mr. Harriman always seemed to me one of America\u27s real noblemen. If I could buy the book I would not ask what I do -- but, under the circumstances, may I hope that you will write the publishers to send me a copy? If there is any reason why this is not to your liking, forgive me and disregard my request.I enclose a copy of my daughter\u27s Class Poem which is an exact expression of the sweet child herself.The thoughts are all her own, and while the composition lacks artistic finish, it is interesting as the expression of a sweet, beautiful and unspoiled nature.Again thanking you and with affectionate regards,Ever faithfully yours,Charles M.

Procedural Burden and Patterns in the Monetization of Regulatory Benefits Across the Federal Regulatory State
No full textThe dataset "RIA_DATA_PUBLIC" contains information on nearly all major rules and their respective regulatory impact assessments (RIAs) between 1996–2016 (n = 713).
This dataset was compiled based on two sources of data. First, it combines the appendix tables “Summary of Agency Estimates for Final Rules” in OIRA’s annual reports to Congress for each year between 1997–2017—excluding 1999 due to data availability limitations. These tables list all major regulations from the previous year, the issuing agency’s estimates of respective cost and benefits, and an “other information” column with supplemental details that OIRA deems relevant.
Second, this dataset links the information found in the OIRA Report Appendices with information from federalregister.gov for each of these regulations. This includes the URL for the final regulation, the “List of Subjects” from the text of each of these respective regulations, and the Document Citation (FR Cite) when available. The author then coded whether each regulation was a transfer regulation, and whether–according to OIRA–the respective RIA monetized any regulatory benefits.
The dataset “SubjectTags_Monetization_PermutationTest” transforms the data from “RIA_DATA_PUBLIC” to list the total number of regulations tagged with each subject tag, based on the “List of Subjects,” that monetized or did not monetize the value of regulatory benefits in their respective RIA. This file also includes the results of a permutation test that supports identifying all subject tags associated with non-monetization and monetization of regulatory benefits, respectively, across the dataset of federal agencies’ RIAs at a high degree of statistical confidence
