The men who work the bays and estuaries along the New Jersey coastline have historically been considered baymen. This label assumes that these "baymen" are very similar, when in fact the realities of bay life for the men who work New Jersey's bays and estuaries are very different. Not only do the groups of men operate in vastly different ecosystems, but their access to seasonal employment necessary to supplement their income varies greatly. This paper intends to investigate whether the baymen label has made it more difficult for those people who operate outside the perceived norm to find support and respect for their jobs and traditions. How has the accepted notion of what makes a baymen impacted fishing communities along the New Jersey Coast? Are the fishing communities that operate outside the accepted reality more likely to become victims of change and gentrification or have they been able to capitalize on being "baymen"?

This chapter uses experimental archaeology to attempt to learn how soldiers constructed the huts they would live in during the winter at Morristown, New Jersey. For the historic reconstruction, the same tools and techniques were, as much as possible, employed to replicate the technology available in 1777. The research touches on numerous topics that have not seen much attention, such as the integration of the camps with the local economy, the acquisition of provisions for the camps, the historic technology the soldiers used, and the many roles and skills that were necessary for hut building.

Many have referred to the coronavirus disease 2019 crisis and intertwined issues of structural racism as “twin pandemics”. As healthcare workers in Newark, New Jersey, a city heavily affected by the twin pandemics, we recognize that health workforce changes must be grounded in our community’s recent history. The objective of this essay is to briefly describe the relationship between organized medicine, state and local leaders, and the people of Newark. We begin with a discussion of Newark in the 1950s and 1960s: its people experienced poor socioeconomic conditions, terrible medical care, and the many sequelae of abhorrent racism. Plans to establish a New Jersey Medical School in Newark’s Central Ward also threatened to displace many residents from their homes. We then describe the Newark Agreements of 1968, which formalized a social contract between the state, business leaders, and people of Newark. In part, the Medical School committed to indefinitely promoting public health in Newark. We share progress towards this goal. Finally, we document key healthcare administrative decisions facing our community today. Stakeholder opinions are shared. We conclude that the Newark Agreements set an important standard for communities across the country. Creative solutions to healthcare policy may be realized through extensive community collaboration.

AbstractThe Philippines remains one of the top suppliers of seafarers to the global merchant fleet. In the 2015 BIMCO Manpower Report on seafarer supply countries, the Philippines ranked first for ratings and second for officers with 363,832 Filipino seafarers deployed to ocean-going merchant vessels in 2014 and accounting for 28% of the global supply of seafarers (MARINA 2015). Seafarers are crucial in keeping the Philippine economy afloat and in 2018, Filipino seafarers sent home USD 6.14 billion (Hellenic Shipping News 2019), accounting for about a fifth of the USD 32.2 billion overseas workers sent home that year (Inquirer 2019). The Philippines has developed as a major player in the crewing sector of the global maritime industry primarily because of its maritime history (Giraldez 2015; Mercene 2007; Schurz 1939), its maritime geography and the continued centrality of the sea to many people’s lives (as attested to by the presence of the myriad fishing communities dotted around the many islands of the country) (Warren 2003, 2007), the economic liberalisation of the 1970s and the concomitant institutionalisation of the labour export policies as enacted by Philippine governments since the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos whose latter policy saw many Filipinos seeking employment overseas (Asis 2017; Kaur 2016; Wozniak 2015).

This very useful book is, as the author points out, about obesity and not about merely being overweight. Practicing physicians will find it an up-to-date and authoritative review of the many aspects of obesity, and yet the general public, dietitians, and other health professionals will also find it easy to understand and never dull. It is written in a clear, concise style, enlivened by comments that reflect the author's viewpoint, and by his genuine concern for those who are obese.

AbstractThe inner Atlantic Coastal Plain of New Jersey reveals exposures of fossiliferous Maastrichtian and Danian deposits. Recent fossil discoveries in this interval are here reported, and placed in the context of Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) faunal changes. The exposure at the Inversand Pit at Sewell (New Jersey) is the last active marl mine in the region, and stands as an important reference section for the many significant discoveries of vertebrate fossils produced by the marl mining industry at its zenith. Changes in planktonic populations across the K/T boundary are related to Maastrichtian/Danian marine ecosystem community reorganisation, by demonstrating changes in abundance of dominant marine invertebrates in successive fossil assemblages. Marine invertebrates with non-planktotrophic larval stages were briefly the commonest fossils preserved in the Danian sediments of this region. Late surviving examples of Cretaceous fauna now restricted to the Indo-Pacific region may imply biogeographic changes linked to the K/T mass extinction event.

Although the skeletons of the extinct Flying Saurians of the mezozoic strata have been discovered in a more complete condition than those of any other contemporary Reptiles, they have not, hitherto, owing to the delicate texture and commonly crushed state of the bones, afforded satisfactory observations of the structure of the vertebræ. Yet the vertebral characters of a saurian skeleton are of peculiar interest to the Palæontologist and Comparative Anatomist, on account of the many and strongly-marked differences which they present in the extinct members of the Reptilian class. In the existing species, the articular terminal surfaces of the centrum, with the exception of those of the Geckos, Rhynchocephalus, and of some single vertebrae in the column of other Reptiles, are concave in front and convex behind. But in extinct Reptiles some genera ( Streptosndylus ) show reverse positions of the cup and ball; others ( Ichthyosaurus ) show both surfaces concave; others show both surfaces slightly concave ( Teleosaurus ); others show both surfaces flat (some Plesiosauri ); others are subconcave behind and flat before ( Cetiosaurus ); with many minor modifications. It is only on arriving at the uppermost of the mezozoic series of rocks in an ascending survey, that we find Lacertian genera ( Mosasaurus and Leiodon of the Chalk) and crocodilians ( Crocodilus basifissus , from the Greensand of New Jersey) presenting the procœlian || type of vertebra which prevails in tertiary and modern reptiles.

AbstractGiven the many types of suboptimality in perception, I ask how one should test for multiple forms of suboptimality at the same time – or, more generally, how one should compare process models that can differ in any or all of the multiple components. In analogy to factorial experimental design, I advocate for factorial model comparison.

Abstract Comprehensive accounts of resource-rational attempts to maximise utility shouldn't ignore the demands of constructing utility representations. This can be onerous when, as in humans, there are many rewarding modalities. Another thing best not ignored is the processing demands of making functional activity out of the many degrees of freedom of a body. The target article is almost silent on both.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract My response to the commentaries focuses on four issues: (1) the diversity both within and between cultures of the many different faces of obligation; (2) the possible evolutionary roots of the sense of obligation, including possible sources that I did not consider; (3) the possible ontogenetic roots of the sense of obligation, including especially children's understanding of groups from a third-party perspective (rather than through participation, as in my account); and (4) the relation between philosophical accounts of normative phenomena in general – which are pitched as not totally empirical – and empirical accounts such as my own. I have tried to distinguish comments that argue for extensions of the theory from those that represent genuine disagreement.

AbstractHydrogen cyanide polymers – heterogeneous solids ranging in color from yellow to orange to brown to black – may be among the organic macromolecules most readily formed within the Solar System. The non-volatile black crust of comet Halley, for example, as well as the extensive orangebrown streaks in the atmosphere of Jupiter, might consist largely of such polymers synthesized from HCN formed by photolysis of methane and ammonia, the color observed depending on the concentration of HCN involved. Laboratory studies of these ubiquitous compounds point to the presence of polyamidine structures synthesized directly from hydrogen cyanide. These would be converted by water to polypeptides which can be further hydrolyzed to α-amino acids. Black polymers and multimers with conjugated ladder structures derived from HCN could also be formed and might well be the source of the many nitrogen heterocycles, adenine included, observed after pyrolysis. The dark brown color arising from the impacts of comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter might therefore be mainly caused by the presence of HCN polymers, whether originally present, deposited by the impactor or synthesized directly from HCN. Spectroscopic detection of these predicted macromolecules and their hydrolytic and pyrolytic by-products would strengthen significantly the hypothesis that cyanide polymerization is a preferred pathway for prebiotic and extraterrestrial chemistry.
