First Time

When someone walks into our community of learners for the first time, his or her initial impression is often one of chaos. How can you tell what anyone is doing? Why are those children under the table? Who is watching the ones in the hall? The range of activity may include a lone reader curled high in a loft, an animated group involved in a dice game, or several students in elaborate costume refining the dialogue of their latest play. A visitor may also be hard put to identify the teacher among the four or five adults scattered throughout the room. That suited gentleman on his knees by the computers? The guy in jeans and T-shirt at a table, laughing with five children over a storybook? The woman in a flowing skirt sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by young mathematicians intently measuring their row of brightly colored cubes? All look equally engaged with the students—no one is sitting at the desk in the corner! If the visitor pauses more than a moment or two, however, at least one of the adults (and, most likely, several children) will excuse him- or herself from the group and approach the newcomer: While from the outside it may seem impossible to detect much of anything, once you're in the know—on the inside—the slightest variation in activity is immediately apparent. All well-run classrooms, regardless of educational philosophy, have a highly developed internal structure that is invisible to the uninitiated, consisting of the philosophy and practices that help participants determine expectations for themselves and others. These are the “cultural” guidelines—surrounding subject matter, group discussions, playtime, and so on—that allow students to settle into a familiar pattern and free them to explore their learning. This internal structure determines how children learn with their teacher, each other, the parents, and the materials they use in the classroom. It's the structure that sets up boundaries for communication, outlining when and how students relate to one another during the day.

Initial Impression

FQ Columnist Bilal Qureshi reflects on the “Getting Real” conference for documentary filmmakers through the lens of Steve Loveridge's film, Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. (2018). Despite giving the initial impression of being a standard rockumentary, the film reveals itself to be an unsettling meditation on gender, race, politics, and the entertainment industry's chronic limitations regarding voices from “elsewhere.” As such, it provides Qureshi with an ideal subject through which to explore “Getting Reel”'s discussion of documentary's crisis of inclusion and the critical need to expand opportunities for marginalized voices.

Anomalous Nature

The purpose of this paper is to examine an etymological enigma in the word ὀμωκότας, a form of an anomalous nature. This form appears only once in a fourteenth century anonymous poem of 759 lines which is contained in the Codex Marcianus 408 in the Library of St. Mark (Venice). The poem reflects events of the 1204 fall and 1261 recovery of Constantinople. The metre which is used by an anonymous poet is the popular one of the period, known as the polilical metre. The initial impression of ὀμωκότας is one of an ἃπαξ λεγόμενον but further examination reveals a linguistic idiosyncracy other than that of merely an ἃπαξ. The form ὀμωκότας appears in the section of the poem which deals with the entry into Constantinople (via the underground drains) by Strategopoulous (Palaiologos’s general). The various sources are thoroughly examined in search of the possible usage of this form in perhaps even one of the sources. The word appears nowhere. After numerous hypotheses and etymological deductions, a conclusion is ultimately arrived at and is proved to be basically the simplest one, with an obvious explanation.

The Law

We reviewed publications, websites, and field observations to explore the health and welfare impacts and administrative effectiveness of different legal approaches to sex work. We identified three broad legal approaches: (1) prohibition, including the unique Swedish law criminalising sex workers’ clients; (2) licensing; and (3) decriminalisation. Each of these models is employed under one or more jurisdictions in Australia. We make preliminary observations on their consequences and conclude that, on initial impression, decriminalisation may offer the best outcomes. However, more rigorous population-based research is needed to properly assess the health and welfare impacts of legal approaches to sex work.

Dynamics Simulations

This paper explores the effect of the depth-of-cut of an indenter on the phase transformations during nanoscratching on monocrystalline silicon on the Si(100) orientation. The analysis was carried out by molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that the depth-of-cut and the impingement direction of the indenter had a significant influence on the phase transformations in the initial impression region. At a relatively low depth-of-cut, only amorphous silicon was formed on the scratched surface. When the indenter impinged on a silicon surface with an angle, a bct5-Si crystalline phase in the initial impression region would emerge.

Layered Lattice

Tom Phillips' painting for the dustjacket of the hardback edition of Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals depicts a faintly translucent, darkly-coloured, multi-layered lattice of letters, in which each character abuts directly upon others above, below and beside it, each overwrites or is overwritten by others of varying dimensions, but none is immediately decipherable as part of a word; and at the centre of this array is a geometrically precise, illuminated circle—perhaps emanating from a light located behind or under the layers of letters, perhaps from one directed at them from above. This image is open to many interpretations. It could represent the sun from Plato's myth of the cave shining through the dialogue in which he presents it (a myth that irradiates Iris Murdoch's text); it could also represent the light of Miss Murdoch's attention playing over the palimpsest of texts that make up the Western tradition of metaphysical thought. But for anyone encountering it upon closing the book after a first reading, it may also seem very precisely to crystallize one's initial impression of that text.
