Observational technology in astronomy moves ahead. We can see a thousand times fainter and ten to a hundred times more detail than 40 years ago. But does our application to research match the engineering progress? Most of us make the easy assumption that theory is right at the cutting edge, waiting to gobble up each new fact into an even deeper, more detailed insight into the universe. But humans frequently misunderstand the real problems and misapply technology - making everything worse for agonizingly long times.Is it possible that extragalactic astronomy has serious misconceptions? The key point to appreciate is that its whole structure rests on the belief that we know the distances to objects in the universe. The simple shift to the red of the spectrum of any observed object is assumed to measure its distance. But for 25 years evidence has been increasing that drastically incorrect distances can result. Unfortunately, not only quasar distances but the distances to the vast majority of galaxies also depend on redshifts.

Insight Into

In a recent review of friction in metal cutting Bailey (1) claimed that it was now almost universally accepted that there was seizure or sticking contact between the chip and the tool in the immediate vicinity of the cutting edge, as indicated schematically in Fig. 1. This conclusion is rationalised on the basis that the sliding contact involves the continual generation of an uncontaminated chip surface at the cutting edge and that there is intimate contact between the chip and tool because of the high normal pressures on the rake face. However, recent work by Home et al. (2) using a transparent sapphire tool, revealed that the chip moves up the rake face of the cutting tool with no apparent seizure contact in the region of the cutting edge. In order to provide additional insight into this problem we have video-recorded the dynamic events in machining by carrying out the chip forming process within the evacuated chamber of the scanning electron microscope.

The Biochemical Society awarded 10 studentships to second- or third-year undergraduate biochemistry students in February 2006. These young, keen researchers are due to spend between 6 and 8 weeks over the summer vacation working on cutting-edge research projects in laboratories across the UK, USA, Canada and Sweden. They all hope to broaden their scientific knowledge, improve their experimental skills and gain a deeper insight into life in the lab and where to take their careers after a BSc.

AbstractAs a paediatrician and pedagogue, a writer and children's rights advocate, Janusz Korczak (1878–1942) has had a large influence on thinking in Polish society. Most Poles still grow up with his children's stories, and Korczak's work culminated in Poland initiating and influencing the ten year process of writing the United Nations 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child. Despite his cutting-edge ideas and his contribution to children's rights, only a few of Korczak's texts have been translated into English and his work has widely gone unrecognised. This paper aims to give English-speaking readers working in the children's rights sector an insight into Janusz Korczak's extraordinary life for children, into how his pedagogic thoughts and principles relate to newer ideas within the sociology of childhood and children's participation, and into his compelling children's rights advocacy and practice. His innovative ideas, preserved for future generations in his written work for children and adults, are still inspiring, prompting us to reflect on our own passion for children's rights and are helpful guides for our own practice.

ABSTRACTThis paper models maximum entropy configurations of idealized gravitational ring systems. Such configurations are of interest because systems generally evolve toward an ultimate state of maximum randomness. For simplicity, attention is confined to ultimate states for which interparticle interactions are no longer of first order importance. The planets, in their orbits about the sun, are one example of such a ring system. The extent to which the present approximation yields insight into ring systems such as Saturn's is explored briefly.
