Jack and Jill
No full textThis book represents a great find on a lightning shopping visit over the lunch break of a Jesuit meeting. The book is in terrible condition, with virtually no spine left at all and all the pages loose. This curious book can best be understood as a combination of material found in my 1885? Lupton Fairy Land Tales Told Long Ago and my 1884 Lothrop Selections from Aesop's Fables. Part of the book's strangeness is that Jack and Jill (found in Lupton) is the only non-fable in the whole book! I am very lucky to have found the book! After that story comes first a full page illustration of a fable not presented here ( In the Cat's Court of Appeals ) signed by M. Stephens (?). Then come five presentations of Aesopic fables in verse by Clara Doty Bates, all found in Lothrop. The first and last are illustrated by Edmund H. Garrett, while Childe Hassam did TMCM. TMCM adds one page (the second) out of the two pages of panels added to TMCM in Lupton, with the numbers of the panels (7-12) now removed. I will leave it to the reader to judge how much sense these six pictures make as they appear suddenly on their own--probably as much sense as a picture of a cat judge ready to eat both litigants (a bunny and a weasel) next to a fable about how a monkey cheats two cat litigants. Pick up a rock and you will find something underneath it!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Clara Doty Bate

Public and Private Standards for Food Safety and Quality: International Trade Implications
No full textThis article examines the implications for the international trade environment of public and private standards for food safety and food quality. Public (mandatory) standards are a response to a perceived market failure and include mandatory risk assessment procedures, restrictions on harmful products, and labelling requirements. Disparate public standards create challenges for international trading partners and are dealt with through the WTO SPS and TBT Agreements. Private standards for food safety and quality are becoming a prominent feature of international food markets and include proprietary, consensus and third-party standards. The WTO has no jurisdiction over private standards. Key questions include whether private standards divert or reduce trade or whether they can be trade enhancing, and under what conditions. The implications for the WTO are discussed, and future trade policy research needs pertaining to the co-existence of public and private standards for food safety and quality are identified.food safety, GLOBALGAP, HACCP, mandatory standards, private standards, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety, International Relations/Trade,

Bilateral and unilateral arm training improve motor function through differing neuroplastic mechanisms: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial
No full textBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
This randomized controlled trial tests the efficacy of bilateral arm training with rhythmic auditory cueing (BATRAC) versus dose-matched therapeutic exercises (DMTEs) on upper-extremity (UE) function in stroke survivors and uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine effects on cortical reorganization.
METHODS:
A total of 111 adults with chronic UE paresis were randomized to 6 weeks (3×/week) of BATRAC or DMTE. Primary end points of UE assessments of Fugl-Meyer UE Test (FM) and modified Wolf Motor Function Test Time (WT) were performed 6 weeks prior to and at baseline, after training, and 4 months later. Pretraining and posttraining, fMRI for UE movement was evaluated in 17 BATRAC and 21 DMTE participants.
RESULTS:
The improvements in UE function (BATRAC: FM Δ = 1.1 + 0.5, P = .03; WT Δ = -2.6 + 0.8, P < .00; DMTE: FM Δ = 1.9 + 0.4, P < .00; WT Δ = -1.6 + 0.7; P = .04) were comparable between groups and retained after 4 months. Satisfaction was higher after BATRAC than DMTE (P = .003). BATRAC led to significantly higher increase in activation in ipsilesional precentral, anterior cingulate and postcentral gyri, and supplementary motor area and contralesional superior frontal gyrus (P < .05). Activation change in the latter was correlated with improvement in the WMFT (P = .01).
CONCLUSIONS:
BATRAC is not superior to DMTE, but both rehabilitation programs durably improve motor function for individuals with chronic UE hemiparesis and with varied deficit severity. Adaptations in brain activation are greater after BATRAC than DMTE, suggesting that given similar benefits to motor function, these therapies operate through different mechanisms
