Eugene Alexander de Kock (born 29 January 1949) is a
" former South African police colonel and assassin, active under the apartheid government. Nicknamed ""Prime Evil""[1][2][3] by the press, de Kock was the commanding officer of C1, a counter-insurgency unit of the South African Police that kidnapped, tortured, and murdered numerous anti-apartheid activists from the 1980s to the early-90s. C1's victims included members of the African National Congress."

"<div>Androphilia and gynephilia</div><div>en.wikipedia.orgView OriginalNovember 18th, 2014</div><div>Androphilia and gynephilia (or gynecophilia) are terms used in behavioral science to describe sexual orientation, as an alternative to a homosexual and heterosexual conceptualization.</div><div><br /></div><div>Androphilia or androsexuality describes sexual attraction to men or masculinity, and gynephilia or gynesexuality describes sexual attraction to women or femininity.[1]</div><div><br /></div><div>The terms are used for identifying a person's object of attraction without attributing a sex assignment or gender identity to the person. This can avoid confusion and offense when describing people in non-western cultures, as well as when describing intersex and transgender people.</div><div><br /></div><div>Historical usage</div><div><br /></div><div>Androphilia</div><div>In a discussion of homosexuality, sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld divided men into four groups: pedophiles, who are most attracted to prepubescent youth, ephebophiles, who are most attracted to youths from puberty up to the early twenties; androphiles, who are most attracted to persons between the early twenties and fifty; and gerontophiles, who are most attracted to older men, up to senile old age.[2][3] According to Karen Franklin, Hirschfeld considered ephebophilia ""common and nonpathological, with ephebophiles and androphiles each making up about 45% of the homosexual population." [4]</div><div><br /></div><div>In his book Androphilia, A Manifesto: Rejecting the Gay Identity, Reclaiming Masculinity, Jack Malebranche uses the term to emphasize masculinity in both the object and the subject of male homosexual desire and to reject the sexual nonconformity that he sees in some segments of the homosexual identity.[5][6]</div><div><br /></div><div>The term androsexuality is occasionally used as a synonym for androphilia.[7]</div><div><br /></div><div>Alternate uses in biology and medicine</div><div>In biology, androphilic is sometimes used as a synonym for anthropophilic, describing parasites who have a host preference for humans versus non-human animals. [8]Androphilic is also sometimes used to describe certain proteins and androgen receptors.[9]</div><div><br /></div><div>Gynecophilia</div><div>The word appeared in ancient Greek. In Idyll 8, line 60, Theocritus uses γυναικοφίλιας as a euphemistic adjective to describe Zeus' lust for women.[10][11][12]</div><div><br /></div><div>Sigmund Freud used the term gynecophilic to describe his case study Dora.[13] He also used the term in correspondence.[14][15] The variant spelling gynophilia is also sometimes used.[16]</div><div><br /></div><div>Rarely, the term gynesexuality has also been used as a synonym. Psychologist Nancy Chodorow proposed that the preoedipal moment of psychological and libidinal focus on the mother, which both boys and girls experience, should be called gynesexuality or matrisexuality for its exclusive focus on the mother.[17]</div><div><br /></div><div>Sexual interest in adults</div><div><br /></div><div>Following Hirschfeld, androphilia and gynephilia are sometimes used in taxonomies which specify sexual interests based on age ranges, which John Money called chronophilia. In such schemes, sexual attraction to adults is called teleiophilia[18] or adultophilia.[19] In this context, androphilia and gynephilia are gendered variants meaning ""attraction to adult males"" and ""attraction to adult females,"" respectively. Psychologist Dennis Howitt writes:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Definition is primarily an issue of theory, not merely classification, since classification implies a theory, no matter how rudimentary. Freund et al. (1984) used Latinesque words to classify sexual attraction along the dimensions of sex and age:</div><div><br /></div><div>Gynephilia. Sexual interest in physically adult women</div><div><br /></div><div>Androphilia. Sexual interest in physically adult males [20]</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Androphilia and gynephilia scales</div><div><br /></div><div>The 9-item Gynephilia Scale was created to measure erotic interest in physically mature females, and the 13-item Androphilia Scale was created to measure erotic interest in physically mature males. The scales were developed by Kurt Freund and Betty Steiner in 1982.[21] They were later modified by Ray Blanchard in 1985, as the Modified Androphilia-Gynephilia Index (MAGI).[22]</div><div><br /></div><div>Gender identity and expression</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Diagram showing relationships of sex</div><div>Photo by: X axis</div><div>Magnus Hirschfeld distinguished between gynephilic, bisexual, androphilic, asexual, and narcissistic or automonosexual gender-variant persons.[23] Since then, some psychologists have proposed using homosexual transsexual and heterosexual transsexual or non-homosexual transsexual. Psychobiologist James D. Weinrich has described this split among psychologists: ""The mf transsexuals who are attracted to men (whom some call 'homosexual' and others call 'androphilic') are in the lower left-hand corner of the XY table, in order to line them up with the ordinary homosexual (androphilic) men in the lower right. Finally, there are the mf transsexuals who are attracted to women (whom some call heterosexual and others call gynephilic or lesbian.""[24]</div><div><br /></div><div>The use of homosexual transsexual and related terms have been applied to transgender people since the middle of the 20th century, though concerns about the terms have been voiced since then. Harry Benjamin said in 1966:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>....it seems evident that the question ""Is the transsexual homosexual?"" must be answered ""yes"" and "" no."" ""Yes,"" if his anatomy is considered; ""no"" if his psyche is given preference. What would be the situation after corrective surgery has been performed and the sex anatomy now resembles that of a woman? Is the ""new woman"" still a homosexual man? ""Yes,"" if pedantry and technicalities prevail. ""No"" if reason and common sense are applied and if the respective patient is treated as an individual and not as a rubber stamp.[25]</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Many sources, including some supporters of the typology, criticize this choice of wording as confusing and degrading. Biologist Bruce Bagemihl writes ""..the point of reference for ""heterosexual"" or ""homosexual"" orientation in this nomenclature is solely the individual's genetic sex prior to reassignment (see for example, Blanchard et al. 1987[24], Coleman and Bockting, 1988[25], Blanchard, 1989[26]). These labels thereby ignore the individual's personal sense of gender identity taking precedence over biological sex, rather than the other way around.""[26] Bagemihl goes on to take issue with the way this terminology makes it easy to claim transsexuals are really homosexual males seeking to escape from stigma.[26] Leavitt and Berger stated in 1990 that ""The homosexual transsexual label is both confusing and controversial among males seeking sex reassignment.[27][28] Critics argue that the term ""homosexual transsexual"" is ""heterosexist"",[26] ""archaic"",[29] and demeaning because it labels people by sex assigned at birth instead of their gender identity.[30] Benjamin, Leavitt, and Berger have all used the term in their own work.[25][27] Sexologist John Bancroft also recently expressed regret for having used this terminology, which was standard when he used it, to refer to transsexual women.[31] He says that he now tries to choose his words more sensitively.[31][31] Sexologist Charles Allen Moser is likewise critical of the terminology.[32]</div><div><br /></div><div>Use of androphilia and gynephilia was proposed and popularized by psychologist Ron Langevin in the 1980s.[33] Psychologist Stephen T. Wegener writes, ""Langevin makes several concrete suggestions regarding the language used to describe sexual anomalies. For example, he proposes the terms gynephilic and androphilic to indicate the type of partner preferred regardless of an individual's gender identity or dress. Those who are writing and researching in this area would do well to adopt his clear and concise vocabulary.""[34]</div><div><br /></div><div>Psychiatrist Anil Aggrawal explains why the terms are useful in a glossary:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Androphilia - The romantic and/or sexual attraction to adult males. The term, along with gynephilia, is needed to overcome immense difficulties in characterizing the sexual orientation of transmen and transwomen. For instance, it is difficult to decide whether a transman erotically attracted to males is a heterosexual female or a homosexual male; or a transwoman erotically attracted to females is a heterosexual male or a lesbian female. Any attempt to classify them may not only cause confusion but arouse offense among the affected subjects. In such cases, while defining sexual attraction, it is best to focus on the object of their attraction rather than on the sex or gender of the subject.[35]</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Sexologist Milton Diamond, who prefers the correctly-formed term gynecophilia, writes, ""The terms heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual are better used as adjectives, not nouns, and are better applied to behaviors, not people. Diamond has encouraged using the terms androphilic, gynecophilic, and ambiphilic to describe the sexual-erotic partners one prefers (andro = male, gyneco - female, ambi = both, philic = to love). Such terms obviate the need to specify the subject and focus instead on the desired partner. This usage is particularly advantageous when discussing the partners of transsexual or intersexed individuals. These newer terms also do not carry the social weight of the former ones.""[36]</div><div><br /></div><div>Psychologist Rachel Ann Heath writes, ""The terms homosexual and heterosexual are awkward, especially when the former is used with, or instead of, gay and lesbian. Alternatively, I use gynephilic and androphilic to refer to sexual preference for women and men, respectively. Gynephilic and androphilic derive from the Greek meaning love of a woman and love of a man respectively. So a gynephilic man is a man who likes women, that is, a heterosexual man, whereas an androphilic man is a man who likes men, that is, a gay man. For completeness, a lesbian is a gynephilic woman, a woman who likes other women. Gynephilic transsexed woman refers to a woman of transsexual background whose sexual preference is for women. Unless homosexual and heterosexual are more readily understood terms in a given context, this more precise terminology will be used throughout the book. Since homosexual, gay, and lesbian are often associated with bigotry and exclusion in many societies, the emphasis on sexual affiliation is both appropriate and socially just.""[37] Author Helen Boyd agrees, writing, ""It would be much more accurate to define sexual orientation as either "androphilic" (loving men) and "gynephilic" (loving women) instead.""[38] Sociomedical scientist Rebecca Jordan-Young challenges researchers like Simon LeVay, J. Michael Bailey, and Martin Lalumiere, who she says ""have completely failed to appreciate the implications of alternative ways of framing sexual orientation.""[39]</div><div><br /></div><div>Gender in non-Western cultures</div><div>Some researchers advocate use of the terminology to avoid bias inherent in Western conceptualizations of human sexuality. Writing about the Samoan fa'afafine demographic, sociologist Johanna Schmidt writes:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Kris Poasa, Ray Blanchard and Kenneth Zucker (2004) also present an argument that suggests that fa'afafine fall under the rubric of 'transgenderal homosexuality', applying the same birth order equation to fa'afafine's families as have been used with 'homosexual transsexuals'. While no explicit causal relationship is offered, Poasa, Blanchard, and Zucker's use of the term 'homosexual transsexual' to refer to male-to-female transsexuals who are sexually oriented towards men draws an apparent link between sexual orientation and gender identity. This link is reinforced by mention of the fact that similar birth order equations have been found for 'homosexual men'. The possibility of sexual orientation towards (masculine) men emerging from (rather than causing) feminine gendered identities is not considered.[1]</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Schmidt argues that in cultures where a third gender is recognized, a term like ""homosexual transsexual"" does not align with cultural categories.[40] She cites the work of Paul Vasey and Nancy Bartlett: ""Vasey and Bartlett reveal the cultural specificity of concepts such as homosexuality, they continue to use the more 'scientific' (and thus presumably more 'objective') terminology of androphilia and gynephilia (sexual attraction to men or masculinity and women or femininity respectively) to understand the sexuality of fa'afafine and other Samoans.""[1] Researcher Sam Winter has presented a similar argument:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Terms such as 'homosexual' and heterosexual (and 'gay' 'lesbian' bisexual etc) are Western conceptions. Many Asians are unfamiliar with them, there being no easy translation into their native languages or sexological worldviews. However, I take the opportunity to put on record that I consider an androphilic transwoman (ie one sexually attracted to men) to be heterosexual because of her attraction to a member of another gender and a gynephilic transwoman (ie one attracted to women) as homosexual because she has a same-gender preference). My usage is contrary to much Western literature (particularly medical) which persists in referring to androphilic transwomen and gynephilic transman as homosexual (indeed as homosexual transsexual males and females, respectively).[41]</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>See also</div><div><br /></div><div>Autoandrophilia</div><div>Autogynephilia</div><div>References</div><div><br /></div><div>^ a b c Schmidt J (2010).

macron
"A macron (/ˈmækrɒn, ˈmeɪ-/) is a diacritical mark, a straight bar ( ¯ ) placed above a letter, usually a vowel. Its name derives from the Greek makrón (μακρόν) meaning ""long"" and was originally used to mark long or heavy syllables in Greco-Roman metrics. It now more often marks a long vowel. In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the macron is used to indicate a mid-tone; the sign for a long vowel is instead a modified triangular colon"

The autonomic nervous system
(ANS or visceral nervous system or involuntary nervous system) is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system functioning largely below the level of consciousness, and controls visceral functions.[1] The ANS affects heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, salivation, perspiration, pupillary dilation, micturition (urination), and sexual arousal. Most autonomous functions are involuntary but a number of ANS actions can work alongside some degree of conscious control. Everyday examples include breathing, swallowing, and sexual arousal, and in some cases functions such as heart rate.
Among those desperate to make sense of this fatal discrepancy was the young[...], appointed<br>assistant at the Vienna obstetric clinic in 1846. Appalled by the senseless waste of life and the seeming<br>disinterest of the medical professionals around him, Semmelweis ultimately realized that the women in the<br>maternity ward were being infected by what he called "cadaverous particles," still clinging to the hands of the<br>doctors fresh from dissection (the midwives at the second clinic did not do dissections, and did not come into<br>regular contact with cadavers). Instituting a regime of hand washing with chlorinated water, Semmelweis lowered<br>the mortality rate at the first clinic to levels equal to the second clinic almost overnight.

For every captured Union soldier killed by the Confederacy, a rebel soldier would be executed. And for every Union soldier enslaved or sold into slavery by the Confederates, a rebel soldier would be placed at hard labor until the Union soldier was released and treated fairly as a prisoner of war.

forms of simple tense
Each of the simple tenses (just to make things even more fun) has two forms. One is the unadorned, no-frills, plain tense. This form doesn't have a special name; it is just called present, past, or future. It shows actions or states of being at a point in time, but it doesn't always pin down a specific moment. The other form is called progressive. It shows actions or a state of being in progress.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited connective tissue disorder with different presentations that have been classified into several primary types. EDS is caused by a defect in the structure, production, or processing of collagen or proteins that interact with collagen, such as mutations in the COL5A or COL3A genes. (This is the collagen of granulation tissue, and is produced quickly by young fibroblasts before the tougher type I collagen is synthesized. Commonly associated with keloid formation. Reticular fiber. Also found in artery walls, skin, intestines and the uterus.--COL3Ā). The collagen in connective tissue helps tissues resist deformation. Collagen is an important contributor to the physical strength of skin, joints, muscles, ligaments, blood vessels and visceral organs; abnormal collagen renders these structures more elastic. In some cases, the severity of the mutation can be life-threatening.

Lincoln free slaves during American civil war worries
Lincoln worried that if he freed the slaves and enlisted black soldiers, he would alienate the large number of white Northerners who supported the Union but opposed emancipation.

Without those loyal border states, Lincoln was convinced, the North could never win the war.

On the evening of October 16, 1859, a militant abolitionist named John Brown, hoping to inspire a slave uprising, led a band of twenty-one men on a raid of the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.

Brown himself was wounded and captured. When authorities searched his carpetbag, they found a letter from Frederick Douglass.
Gini stats number
One is called "the GINI coefficient"; it is a statistical measure of inequality expressed as a percent. Zero represents perfect equality; one (1) represents perfect inequality. Economists use it to measure income inequality; it is usually written as a whole number. A GINI coefficient of 4 or higher signals a highly problematic disparity of income distribution in a country. According to the CIA World Factbook, China's GINI in 2013 was 47.3. The same source reports that the U.S. GINI was 45 in 2007; that is, before the made-in-the USA global financial crises and the consequent, lingering U.S. recession. In November of 2014, the U.S. Population Reference Bureau reported that the GINI stood at 47.7 in 2013. No doubt the U.S. GINI will be higher in 2015.

(name of lang theory): Krashen argues that comprehensible input is not enough to ensure language acquisition. Language learners also have to be receptive to that input. When learners are bored, angry, frustrated, nervous, unmotivated or stressed, they may not be receptive to language input and so they 'screen' the input. This screen is referred to as the affective filter. This suggests that when learners are bored, angry, frustrated, nervous, unmotivated or stressed, they may be unsuccessful at learning a second language.

Instituting a regime of hand washing with [...], Semmelweis lowered<br>the mortality rate at the first clinic to levels equal to the second clinic almost overnight.
