...powerful; LeBow slips into and out of all shades of emotion with ease. Even his battle of words and witty dialogue with Derrah’s Clov is pitch perfect, a delicate rhythm and timing established between the two that provides a bitterly comedic give-and-take. This verbal jousting keeps the one-act play moving at a swift pace. While LeBow is confined to his wheelchair, Derrah provides adept physical clowning, embodying Clov with distinct mannerisms (although LeBow, too, has his moments of physical comedy, wheelchair and all). Airaldi’s Nagg is amusing in an idiosyncratic...
Fire is one of the leading causes of death among young women in India - but you wouldn't know it by looking at government statistics. Or so says a study published in the British medical journal The Lancet. By examining census figures, death certificates from urban hospitals and "verbal autopsy" reports from rural communities, three researchers from Cambridge, Harvard University and Johns Hopkins University estimated that more than 100,000 women were killed by fires in a single year - more than six times the number reported by police. The study also found that young women were three times as likely...
...most recent figures from the "Medicial Certification of Cause of Death" (MCCD), India's national death registry, are from 2001, and only cover "participating urban hospitals." For rural areas, death certificates are even harder to come by. Officials must rely on the "Survey of Causes of Death" (SCD), a "verbal autopsy survey of a sample of villages across rural India." One study conducted in a rural Tamil Nadu district tracked 39,000 deaths - 16% of which were suicides committed by women using fire...
...current study did not investigate these home factors, but other research has suggested that mothers with lower education and income tend not to read to their babies as much as better-educated moms and that their vocabulary and grammar skills may be more limited, leading to insufficient verbal interaction with their children. Mothers with less education also tend to talk to their children less overall; women with more education are more likely to elaborate details and tell stories to their kids, even about ordinary events and concepts. And studies suggest that parents' talking and gesturing frequently to their babies early...
...Many American creationists also use other acts of verbal obfuscation. For instance, some attempt to spread the notion that there is a real debate among scientists between evolution and intelligent design and then encourage public schools to “teach the debate.” But among the most damaging tactics is to refer to those who accept evolution as Darwinists, because it feeds off the sense of awe many scientists genuinely feel toward Darwin. American creationists use it to imply that believers in evolution form little more than a religious sect, owing irrational fealty to a charismatic spiritual...
